I need to get some of these made:

#AI #LLMs

A stack of cars that read:

A side:

DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT “AI”

YOU MAKE ME LONG FOR THE SWEET EMBRACE OF DEATH

B side:

BY USING AI, YOU HAVE GIVEN A PASS TO
• The staggering climate and ecological impact
• The outright attack on labor by capital
• The systemic disregard of consent
• The basis in wholesale theft and plagiarism
• The assault on the very concept of objective truth
• The enrichment of the most cringe billionaire fascist
motherfuckers the world has ever seen
THERE IS NO ETHICAL USE OF AI
If you ignore all of that, you are trying to negotiate what level of harm to others you find acceptable for your personal, selfish benefit. You advance the agenda of these hollow-eyed, joyless money-ghouls who resent art, creativity, and life itself.

@fname @Gargron They’re not wrong, but they are probably printed on a machine operated by AI-maintained software, distributed on a website hosted on AI-backed Amazon Web Services, and delivered via a courier that uses AI routing software.

@jimmylittle @fname What a strange, bizarre world view. Do you understand that people designed, printed, hosted and delivered things for hundreds of years before "AI" was involved? And that even now "AI" is nowhere near being involved in most things? I ain't typing this from AI-maintained software or AI-backed web services, I can tell you that.

@Gargron
Hang on, I read that Mastodon had started accepting AI code contributions? Is that definitely false, then?

@dheadshot @jimmylittle @fname That’s false, yes, although the policy is written less clearly than I would like. Keep in mind I’m not in charge anymore.

@Gargron @jimmylittle @fname As many projects, including the Linux kernel, now officially accepts AI-assisted code, completely avoiding AI-maintained software or web services is becoming (much) harder every day.

@Gargron @fname I get that everything you can control is as AI-free as possible - and that’s a valid and laudable position - but pretending “I don’t use anything with AI” is head-in-the-sand logic.

Do you use a phone powered by Apple or Android? Does your ISP optimize routing with AI? Is your OS AI-free? Have you audited the thousands of Node packages lurking on your computer for open-source code submitted by someone using an LLM?

My world view is “pragmatic and realistic”, not “pro-AI”.

@jimmylittle @fname I don't know what Apple or my ISP do internally, but I can guarantee you I've used them before any "AI" existed and do not want it anywhere near anything I am using. If it's there, it's against my will and not to my benefit. The idea that "AI" is prevalent (or inevitable) is somewhere between marketing and a US tech bubble.
