Should we try to join the AI Alliance?
this is a beautiful question for so many (and such a vast number of completely unrelated and) totally different reasons. as a Linux users group, it will also directly affect us and imo we need to chat about it

many countries on the planet has nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. we cannot even collaborate to rid the planet of wmd :) From a code perspective and since I started dev on AI around 2010, there has been many reasons for people to collaborate and share. I eventually downloaded three projects on Github and eventually decided to do my own thing as the needs, goals, objectives, etc. where not all exactly similar. Eventually, now on the cusp of 2024, I am using my tech in practise and more like exoskeleton than a replacement for me :) I guess for many of us, our milage indeed does vary. Just a few days ago I was chatting off list with a friend also on this list, about chatGPT and how it could write elequently with just a nudge and a wink. How it could also generate art and be generally useful. How does the public think about "AI"? not all AI is even AI, I saw a startup's docs the other day, they have ML but also call it "AI" then LML is called AI, anything that does a recursive or timed loop is now called "AI" I have not yet asked Google, but what exactly is "AI" (and strangely we would probably all have different opinions about what it is, including Google...) imnsho, we will fit into three or maybe four main categories and then we will further split of into many subcategories - and we all call that "AI" - as I have learnt (and collected many t-shirts) in tech - the victor will define the terminology (or maybe the 'industry' will) - either way, it will be interesting to see what others here think about it all?
