abadidearefusing to use LLMs: not purity culture
wanting to disenfranchise and dehumanize everyone who’s ever used an LLM for any reason: yes purity culture, jesus christ you’re one missed coffee from doing a terrorism
zivi@0xabad1dea if yelling at idiots who legitimize slop machines is purity culture so be it i won’t stop doing it
Luci ☯⚛@zaire @0xabad1dea I've got some thoughts on this that you may not like to hear and that might be upsetting but it would matter to me if you could try to entertain my perspective
- I think using the word idiot this way is ableist and saneist
- What do you hope to gain out of shaming working class consumers (including beings who can't/don't work for reasons other than excess privilege)? I don't really believe that being shamed inspires true change in beings. It sure never did when my biological parents tried that strategy on me, and only did damage and made me feel alienated and isolated without changing how I actually felt about things.
@quantumsys @0xabad1dea what word should i use that’s not ableist or saneist? to call slop advocates fash wouldn’t be quite right
and you’d need to clarify how exactly “shaming working class consumers” relates to my point
@quantumsys @0xabad1dea look sometimes beings are too far gone for me to bother engaging in good faith and arguing the same points over and over again when i know it won’t go anywhere. my energy for doing that is finite. so in such cases my response to [insert non-saneist word here]s doing apologism for fash is going to lack any kindness, and i think that’s quite reasonable. when i know i can’t inspire change in them, i can at least yell a little to give myself and those on my side of the discourse an affirmation.
@zaire @0xabad1dea See, I thought we were talking about "everyone who’s ever used an LLM for any reason", as per OP, rather than just people who are "too far gone". As for a non-discriminatory way to refer to them, how about sloppers? That encapsulates what you actually mean without borrowing from discrimination of people based on factors they can't really influence, such as (perceived) intelligence, ability, or mental health.
OP feels like it’s implying a general claim that calling people out on using unethical tech is wrong, which is a bad and annoying albeit frequent take, might’ve misinterpreted that
