"On the acceptance of GenAI"
https://smallsheds.garden/blog/2026/on-the-acceptance-of-genai/

By using GenAI: I accept the models were trained on stolen data. I accept that the data was labeled by exploited workers. I accept the environmental costs of the data centers running these models. I accept that I am outsourcing some of my skills to a company. I accept these companies don’t have a viable business model. I accept that I am granting more power to big tech and their vision for the world. I accept that I am granting more power to the United States. I accept that all this effort could have been spent elsewhere. If any of these facts are new to you, you haven’t been doing your due diligence.
