RE: https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/117441841785502664

actually i want to say this as a quote. what always bugged me about llms in FOSS is how reliant it makes you on big software-service companies, which i thought was exactly the thing free software as a movement wanted to avoid in the first place. i have my qualms with FOSS but at this point it really feels like they're blatantly not even bothering to stick by their own principles anymore

"ai" does not make you free. it makes you dependent. it is counter even to the stated core values of free software. linus torvalds is a credulous idiot. we do not need him; we should not listen to him anymore

@icedquinn @typhlosion if I use ai to make a free libre and compatible version of an exploitative businesses industry standard product then ai made me more free. I don't consider for example dependence on the electric or water company constraining my freedom in a meaningful sense, we went through this with the unabomber, you only free if you live alone in a cabin in the woods.
