General discussion • Re: How will California Law (AB 1043) affect Raspi OS?

So will some politician decide laws are needed for or against AI made code?

I don't care whether or not there is "AI" support in an OS (though I think that belongs in applications code, not the OS itself), so long as there is a quick, easy way to remove/disable/turn it off.

While it may look like drifting off topic, the division between an operating system and the application software is central to the question of whether an age-bracket API belongs in the OS or not.

Although early versions of Unix were distributed with the Kernighan and Ritchie C compiler, many subsequent commercial Unix systems unbundled the compilers as separate products. Somewhat later Microsoft included a built-in web browser in their Windows operating system. I think there was a lawsuit that required them to unbundled it.

It seems likely companies trying to sell AI agents will complain about unfair competitive practices if an AI agent gets bundled with a popular OS.

The three kittens had an interesting discussion on the commercial market for age-bracket APIs which has been suppressed from this post due to the 13 year minimum age for use of this forum.
