From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ultimately [the Jolla Mind2] sounds… a lot less useful than the AI-in-a-device features that companies have been promising for products like the Rabbit R1 or Humane AI Pin.

What the hell? Why would the device with a dedicated NPU and local models be less useful than the piece-of-shit marketing stunts that everyone hates?

The Mind2 looks interesting. It solves the issue of your hardware not supporting the requirements to run the model, by providing hardware, and lets you use your existing smartphone to access it remotely. I am curious how it actually performs.

It might not be a long-term product concept though. All new phones are going to come stock with a lot more than 6 TOPS of AI compute onboard very soon.

People see the term AI and instantly get their backs up. All rational independent thought goes out the window at that point.
