Re: Proposal: Debian-AI — A Free and Open-Source AI Operating System

Hi Su,

fresh enthousiasm is always nice to hear!  You will have to move a
mountain, but don't despair!

If you know Debian well enough then you are surely aware that Debian
focuses on integration and tends to not develop system-wide components
anymore.  Therefore if you want to see more AI in Debian, then I think
that you need to add your energy to those working on identifying and
removing the roadblocks, which range from packaging core libraries and
tools, access to hardware, data, and high-quality models, consensus on
what makes AI "Free" (please note the current work already done on that
topic), consensus on what should be the energy footprint of a "Free"
operating system, etc.

If you want to innovate on the use of autonomous agents to administrate
an OS on the user's behalf (yes please! if only AI could manage the
power saving of my laptop…), then there is a lot of research that has be
done upfront and while it would be nice to hear that it is done on
Debian systems, it is not a strict requirement.  This said if you want
to see the fruit of this research in Debian then you surely need to pay
attention to the paragraph above :)

And before all, Debian is also a commmunity of developers and users.  At
some point you need to be visible and appreciated.  I note that you used
two different Gmail addresses in this thread.  If you need to stay
anonymous you need to learn how to be recognised despite that
constraint.  Here is a hint, but I am far from expert on that topic.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2020/11/msg00003.html

I just asked "How can I contribute anonymously to Debian?" to the free
version of Copilot, and it did not mention anything on the above.  As
you see the gap is still very large.

Have a nice day,

Charles
