AI Linux Kernel subsystems
I am about to get back to work making the next version of the Cyberdeck happening. On that way I looked for current Open Source development of AI embeddings into the OS.
I came across two Linux software tools. Newelle, GUI based and more than just a front end for having a chat and open-interpreter, a more Terminal based system to create OS relevant code and more, but also across inotifywait which is a Linux kenel subsystem which provides APIs to to monitor filesystem events.
As an applied example, could I use the two Ollama LLM based systems to automatically push all downloaded mp3s from the Download folder to the Music folder, and all Documents to the Document folder.
The problem is that these two systems are very resource intense. They are slow. They are also slow on a high-end Computer, they just use more electricity to appear faster.
The Linux kernel subsystem is extremely fast and no AI. It is like a rule. It is installing using one short line of command a subsystem into the Kernel, the core of Linux. Than a rule is created. From there on, every time a file with mp3 or any text document is saved in the Downloads folder it is moved accordingly, but without any thinking, by that using hardly any resources.
All I hear is about AI Agents and those making currently a very lot funding and investment money ready creating systems that will try to reinvent the wheel over and over again. The idea is to create universal systems they create once and than can distribute to many.
This might be the end of, in already mid-term time frames, of all those that invest into the IT Industry because they understood that the copying a Software prototype costs a few cents in electricity only, while a car or machine costs a very lot of material and must be build over and over again.
There is a lot of efficiency gain potential in every Office, but AI can only help to understand the needs.
Housekeeping, as sorting files into the dedicated folders is a great example. The Director of a Department turns a running Gag in the coffee kitchens when his Desktop of his Dell Enterprise Edition Laptop has a clean, polished surface, but the Projector shows a Desktop full of tiles of pdfs, docs, and xlsx hiding the background picture.
The USB stick transfer system of the PAs for their VPs turns into miles and hours over just a year.
Then they can upgrade the Computers or stress the Internet connection to its limits creating security vulnerabilities ontop to use AI, or use an actually simple script to automate ever repeating no brainer tasks based on click and drop.
Open Source can do that, but not in a world in which MTV tells Gangs do Drugs or Free means not to pay anything, because no real Open Source hacker will ever come as a McKinsey. We all die in Style... and have pride.
Until there, do I believe that Cyberdecks become more real than ever, but not as Shadowrun Degger's Sci-Fi. We won't be able to jack into a chip attached to our brain as some YouTubers with quite some reach suggest, neither.
We will have next to Gaming Computers and Office Computers also very tailored systems and some of them will be integrated LANs. I assume more in 3rd World Nations and the U.S.A. than in Germany and Europe and can't estimate China and Russia at all.
Check this out to understand.
Some will after reading that website one day walk into an Office having a dozen Monitors for a few workers. It looks like a normal Office. Maybe a bit more clean, but it is a Cyberdeck system; A fully integrated, automated, rule based and AI supported Local Network for efficiency.
