This meme format gets more and more brain-dead every time I see it.

You were just mentioning illegality as a reason not to use AI, I do not think it is a valid reason so I was combating your point.

The difference between openAI and google is that openAI doesn’t generate money from the free tire while google does.

And you’ve invested appropriately to take advantage of this fact, right? You’ve purchased puts options for AI companies since you “know” their trillion-dollar gambit will ultimately fail, right? After all, if you play your cards right, you’ll be set for life by successfully betting against them.

I really don’t understand what you mean here. If your wondering I haven’t invested in AI.

I do not recall saying any such thing.

Wait if your main argument isn’t that people should stop using AI then what is your argument?

Chinese AI is built on stolen works just like western AI.

Chinese models are open weight so anyone can run them, isn’t this kind of contributing back the kind of thing we should hope for with AI? Also, I’m still not sure how training models on open source code is theft. I don’t agree with the idea of intellectual property which is why I also pirate all my media.

But if you want to lecture others about the (relatively small) environmental impact of AI you can’t ignore the environmental impact of all your other habits can we? But for some reason people here are so adamant about the horrible environmental cost of AI but comparatively silent about everything else.

You can’t legally

I really don’t care about what the law says. What is ethical and what is legal are often complete opposites at this point.

AI companies lose money on there free AI tiers. And we both know there larger business model is not going to work. Being in the moral right by not using corporate software, or telling other people to not use corporate software isn’t actually doing anything. Furthermore many people use Chinese AI models that benefit workers rather than take from them do you have issues with Chinese models?

Of course I support Aaron Swartz and his endeavours to make information free. I also don’t see how using open source projects to build an AI model is theft. Intellectual property just shouldn’t be a thing at all.

Societal collapse is inevitable with or without AI if we let capitalism continue. Also do you know how much AI actually contributes to global warming? There are so many things you could be doing such as not eating meat, not owning a car or using a smaller car and driving it less, organising against capitalism before you consider lecturing people on their AI usage.

Why can’t you just accept that some people feel that they benefit from using AI?

That’s very brave of you. In the meantime other open source developers will continue using AI models that currently exist to benefit their coding were it can.

They definitely have some legitimacy. It really bores me seeing yet another big tech inspired website alongside an empty readme with basically no human made text or AI disclaimer to be seen.

Does anyone actually have a working stratergy to pick up calls consistantly? I always have silent mode on (vibrate enabled) because I’m scared if I enable call sounds I will forget to turn it off when it really needs to be off.

Most of the time I ignore the vibration.
