Looks like the AI on Ubuntu situation won't be as bad as it originally seemed: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/the-future-of-ai-in-ubuntu/81130/41
"all of these capabilities will be delivered as Snaps to the OS, layered on top of the existing Ubuntu stack. That means there will always be the option of removing those Snaps - which I suppose acts as a sort of kill switch for the features we’re planning on shipping."
All this stuff is planned as Snaps? 😂
Crisis averted.

@zero101@mastodon.social It's still bad It'd be better if they left them as Snaps in the Snap store, and left them out of default installs entirely. I was going to say maybe if enough telemetry tells them people just remove them anyway they'd give up, but I suspect the sort of user who'd uninstall these has also disabled the telemetry in Ubuntu so that's a bit of a wash.
