It seems Linus’s position is very clear now

    Fuuuuuck.

    In theory I could drive over to his house and knock on his door and ask him to stop using clankers, but I’m sure I would be trespassed immediately.

      I also live right outside Portland. This triplea the performance. He correctly documents its use. I see AI being used properly here. People complaining on Lemmy about it still use every piece of technology that make AI possible. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

        AI is a hideous abomination tainting everything with its existence or our lord and savior that will soon™ solve all of humanity’s problems. There is no middle-ground anymore.

        And the notion that a tool can be useful for one thing if properly handled, not so useful if used carelessly, and absolutely stupid when used for a purpose it cannot actually fullfil is somehow (magic? collective brain-dead?) deemed crazy now.

        PS: The only thing more insane than the discussion itself are the arguments about AI-use being unethical as it is trained on stolen data usually made by the very same copyleft guys that claim that no copyright should exist, all data should be free, and copying something is no theft!

          I personally -do- think copyright shouldn’t exist. But it does (for Marvel or whatever), but not for GPL licensed projects once it is encoded in a matrix, and that’s pretty messed up. “Loki is a copyrighted Marvel character, I can’t create a new, full-length story using him as the main character.”, Yet if I ask it to write a text editor based on GNU Emacs it has very little problem doing so (edit: and technically failing, but still).

        I can assure you, I haven’t used liquified distilled human text in the same way that AI does. I never will.

        The entire concept is terrible.

        Goddamn slop apologists coming out of the woodwork all the time. :/

        No. This heretical abuse of human labor and planetary resources has absolutely no place in society, where it creates lumpy and awkward abominations attempting to replace intent and care.

        Fuck AI.

          Hear hear.

          Sweet lord I hate these things. They get rid of all the best parts of being human and leave only the shitty parts.

          The correct and moral thing to do would be the absolute eradication of the technology and enacting a global non-proliferation treaty. Unfortunately I’m not likely to see that in my lifetime so I’m likely forced to live with the slow collapse of humanity into comfort and leisure.

          human labor is purchasable and its outputs are usable for whatever the purcaser wants to use them for. this is the purpose of employment, employees need not know what their output is used for.

            I would like to not have my fine art photography taken for free and ground into slop.
