@bekkaboo@girlcock.club Linux itself is heavily using AI models. Therefore, every Linux distribution moving to recent kernel versions is heavily built on top of using AI models. Creating a Linux distribution not heavily using it would require a hard fork of the Linux kernel and many other projects.
It's unclear what would be accomplished by banning AI for a tiny portion of the code while continuing to use Linux, AOSP, Chromium and hundreds of other projects heavily using it. We'd still be benefiting from it.
GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.
We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.
AI is Evil -> Irresponsible AI use is Evil
AI destroys the environment -> Irresponsible AI use is destroying the environment
All it really takes imo is a small adjustment of words to change your stance from looking like zealotry to actual concern for the issues. I also think these sidetracks are important, to be fair. Otherwise we wouldn’t have had this conversation to deepen our understanding of the issues.
I would be more than willing to agree if the message was “Frontier AI labs are causing massive harm to the environment by facilitating irresponsible use of AI” rather than “AI is evil, fuck you for using it” (not saying those are your words, just getting my point across lol)
I have tried that shift from “AI is Evil” -> “Irresponsible AI use is Evil” and what I found is everyone then goes “well I’m one of the responsible ones” and we end up right back where we started with them pumping every thought into a prompt and churning out whatever with no regard. Humans are very skilled at believing they aren’t the problem and are the hero of their own story.
If however, the lazy approach is taken of “AI is evil, fuck you for using it” (those are my words but with the asterisk of if you truly are part of the 0.01% using it responsibly then ignore me) then people understand that, yes, I mean you guy running claude code to “write” your next big app.
It’s the same problem of why marginalized people get overlooked or alienated in general. They’re in the margins because they aren’t the norm. Not saying it’s good, just this is more of that and I’ve never seen a good solution.
