minus-square@msage@programming.devlinkfedilink6•23 days agoVCs put a lot of money into AI, and they won’t hesitate to kill you to make sure they get their money back.
minus-square@masterspace@lemmy.calinkfedilink1•23 days agoIf you don’t have a computer that can run a local AI model and want to use any of their text editing features?
minus-squareCyborganismlinkfedilink6•23 days agoGlad I switched to 100% Linux. I’m using Vim now. LoL
