It makes me sick to my stomach. Stay safe, everyone

I find them neat, but there’s just too many issues I can’t overlook.

The environmental impact of these technologies is immense, and growing exponentially.

A vast amount of the training data used for the big llms and image generators is not in the public domain, which is at best ethically grey but at worst just blatantly exploiting artists and other professionals.

If there existed some alternatives to the big names that avoided both of these issues, I’d love to use them for code autocomplete and image generation for ttrpgs, but as it stands the moral cost is too high.

Oh don’t worry I know - I was implying that there’s a heavy correlation between Thinkpad Arch users and trans girls, at least online. See [email protected]

Exactly this (sent from my Arch Thinkpad as a trans woman)

Men?

Oh, I thought this was going to be a post about you being trans. Threw me with the title /j

I misread the headline as “Stardew Valley” and it was a real headscratcher

Right so calling people stupid is more important to you than getting people to stop using Steam. Got it.

You have the absolute freedom to choose this strange hill to die on, and people have the absolute freedom to call you an idiot for doing so. But it wouldn’t be constructive or serve any purpose, so I don’t imagine anyone would find it worth doing.

Okay cool thanks.

If your motive is as morally driven as you seem to imply, then I’m sure you would have a much higher success rate at converting people to your cause if you didn’t call them names. So why not be kind? Do you gain anything at all by calling someone stupid? Does it make them more likely to stop using steam? Does it reduce the amount of data Valve collect from users? Does it just make you feel smart?

Why not neither? Why don’t you be kind AND avoid steam? If your motive is as morally driven as you seem to imply, then I’m sure you would have a much higher success rate at converting people to your cause if you didn’t call them names.

Hey, try being kind. No need to start name-calling, no matter how much you disagree with this person about their personal choice to use a platform.
