Folks, I think we're now past the time where we can claim to be in the middle about generative AI usage.

You're either for it and okay with intellectual theft, racism, land grabs, polluted water, higher power bills, and creating an addicted population that can't think.

Let alone the building of new polluting coal/oil/gas power plants and even of millions-of-years-of-long-term-damage-and-destruction nuclear power plants, including the destruction of "one of the most green and vibrant ecosystems in Iceland", as Bjaldur noted.

Oh, and the systematic exploitation of humans in mostly "the global south" for the sorting and tagging of the thieved works ("training data"), exposing them to the absolute worst of things found online, mostly in darknets.

And the eso-fascism of the TESCREAL ideology behind it, active haters of humanity.

I probably could continue. There’s just so much wrong with all of the current genAI/LLM and things built around it…

Or you're against it.

Full quote from Rachel "Red Pen" Lapidow, repeated here (and added to) so I can pin it.

Hot take: Docker is popular for the same reason AI is.

You don’t have to learn to set up the stuff yourself… just use someone else’s work.

A few more reasons to avoid the fashtech thingy: (some newer added at the end)

Big Tech's plan for human genocide and eugenics

"Sam Altman defends AI’s energy toll by saying it also takes a lot to ‘train a human’"

US Copyright Office found AI companies sometimes breach copyright. Next day its boss was fired

(We’re at about 31k characters already. At some point, I will move the top of the list, between the intro post and the bottom of the list, into a separate post (a reply to this post) to make space. Why the top of the list, not the bottom? Because I append at the bottom, so this post is the one people interacted with (favourite, boost) to get edit notifications.)
