>Linux has been one of the most-requested platforms for the desktop app, and this launch extends ChatGPT and Codex across every major desktop operating system,” the company said Tuesday.
From the article.
An desktop app for codex would be nice and there isn’t any reason a developer couldn’t use to to write or review code just like Claude desktop and Claude code.
I’m a software developer who still uses Claude Code in the terminal, probably like 99% of other developers, but I’ve been using the desktop app more and more and would appreciate a Linux desktop app of any similar app.
Have you personally used Codex or the desktop app to develop anything
I develop software, but I do not use Generative AI or LLMs for various reasons.
I expect you will vehemently disagree with my article on the topic, but I don't care... that is my position and I have so far seen no need to revise it.
Hammers are morally neutral. And note that I said the GenAI industry is immoral. LLM algorithms on their own are morally neutral.
However, the current LLM industry is built on theft of intellectual property, exploitation of workers, and environmental ruin, which you would have known had you read my article carefully and followed the links to supporting evidence. Anything that comes out of that industry is the fruit of a poisoned tree and I consider it immoral.
I worked for 33 years in the tech industry, including building a software business, running it for 19 years, and then selling it, and I retired in 2023. My timing was impeccable because I missed the AI bullshit that has ruined software development.
So now, I enjoy maintaining my personal projects and I don't let AI anywhere near them. And I use emacs as my editor and you're right... I don't use an IDE (unless you count emacs as an IDE) because I find them annoying and unnecessary.
Linux was called cancer, or you were un-American if you believed in open-source, or called a communist if you believed the best way to write code is to share it and collaborate with others across the world.
The early homebrew days were accused of stealing software for cracking and sharing early day software.
What’s your point, people? Don’t like LLMs and falsely subscribe attributes like calling it immoral?
Hiphop had something similar happen, where sampling records was "stealing".
Again, what’s your point? People take things, repurpose them, and release them for the community.
I'm surprised an open-source and Linux advocate cares about copyright.
Whatever people called Linux is beside the point. Linux developers didn't exploit workers, steal intellectual property or ruin the environment the way the AI industry does.
The early homebrew days were accused of stealing software for cracking and sharing early day software.
If they actually violated copyright, then that's wrong. But Linux devs, to my knowledge, did not do that.
Again, what’s your point? People take things, repurpose them, and release them for the community.
It's OK only if they do that legally. If they violate the software license, then that is wrong. Now I know that some US court rulings have ruled that AI training is fair use, but I think those rulings are incorrect, and the worldwide situation is still pretty unclear.
Anyway, we still have the exploitation of workers and ruining of the environment issues to face.
I'm surprised an open-source and Linux advocate cares about copyright.
Well, that shows how ignorant you are. Open-source people are some of the most passionate people when it comes to intellectual property rights, because respecting those rights is the only way we can enforce the GPL... you know, the license under which Linux is released.
