Good for them. Standing up for ones own morality is what we should all aim for no matter the personal consequences or political side.

#12> blinded by the Western patriarchal narrative that technology in itself is not political I have no idea what this was supposed to mean.
Allow me to explain through an example:
When I protest that LLMs stole the collective creative output of all of humanity and are now trying to sell it back to us to supplant human creative output, or that it is an ecological, or economic, disaster, further consolidating wealth and power in a few narcissistic sociopaths, and defendants reply, "bUt ThE CApAbIlitIEs!!1!"

It’s a thought stopping cliche in the form of an ad hominem shotgun whose trigger is tied to the door handle. You can’t disagree with the author’s take on technology or you’re a bigot and probably a misogynist and a fascist.
I hate watching fascism take over, and that’s why I hate this kind of leftist purity culture. It’s a big thing pushing people to the right.
Of course the far right does it too, which pushes people back the other way I guess.
The present day left and right are like having one obnoxious self righteous asshole screaming in each ear. I have never in my life seen the public discourse in worse shape.

That’s not a problem with LLMs as a technology. It’s a problem with how LLM companies have been allowed to violate copyright at industrial scale. It’s a political and social problem.
The same indictment can be made about search companies and social media: that they are monetizing others work without compensation.
Or is there something about the tech that requires that it be deployed in this way?
My position is that LLMs trained without proper copyright authorization should not be copyrightable. They should be public domain.
As for the energy use: we either get our energy from polluting sources or we don’t. What we do with it is secondary. If we’re not using it to run AI we’d be using it to get a burrito delivered.

Every list of 'thought stopping cliche's must also contain 'thought stopping cliche'.
The right wing fascist culture is the left's fault, sure kiddo.
If you like fascism just be proud and say, "I am a fascist."
Who do you think will actually believe you when you say "I hated fascism until the leftists made me like fascism" anyway?

I can’t tell if this is facetious. The world’s gone mad.
Re: Stepping Down as Framework Linux Community Ambassadors
#20I really hope Framework ignores these people. They are not Linux Ambassadors, they are political activists. These people only care about their ideology and anyone who doesn't blindly follow it gets defamed.
I, and I would imagine many, are tired of this sort of binary thinking. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Society can't function like this.
