No, opposing LLMs isn't "purity culture." I've seen this now from quite a few different people, and I disagree vehemently. It is good, actually, to have moral principles and hold to them, even when people with more money than you find said principles annoying.
@xgranade "You don't want to use the lie machine powered by mulching puppies? What are you, some kind of purist?"

@theorangetheme @xgranade

Do you eat chicken? Do you know how the chicken industry mulches all the rooster chicks?

Not to defend LLM use, but I am starting to get tired of the PETA-esque rhetoric. Do these really mulch animals? No. Do they do have negative impacts in other ways? Yes.

Is it that hard to focus on real impacts?

@elithebearded @theorangetheme @xgranade Metaphors have power. Some are moved by extreme rhetoric. Feel free to complain, but you don’t own the truth. None of us does.
