oh cool yet another “I’m exhausted by all the anti-AI anger” post got boosted onto my feed
please don’t let anyone gatekeep your own anger away from you, especially when your ability to exist and to make a living are both under active attack. if you’re angry because of LLM-enabled war crimes, the loss of our software commons, or any of the other wrongs the AI industry has started that never stopped, you aren’t wrong. you don’t owe the people enabling and forgiving this stuff your kindness.
and since there was some very off stuff in this last post about how “morality isn’t absolute” in “the trans discourse”, let me make something clear
the AI-critical spaces I help operate are for trans and marginalized people above all else. they are spaces with no place for people who exploit other people.
in AI and all other “discourse”, if that’s what we’re calling the trans genocide being orchestrated by the far right, I am and always will be against the side doing the exploitation.
I cannot keep doing this but since today’s has seen a number of boosts:
the people asking you to stop forcing slop and ongoing damage onto their communities are not purity testing you. they’re asking for basic human decency.
no, disliking LLMs doesn’t make you… a list of right-wing stereotypes for leftists???? is this what we’re doing now?
please don’t use ChatGPT to self-diagnose or treat medical issues. seriously, please don’t do that or advocate for it.
anyway seriously please don’t use ChatGPT or any other LLM to self-diagnose or treat a medical condition. it’s such a dangerous thing to do that OpenAI warns you to not do it and they’re the type that has no qualms about their technology being used to kill people at random.
LLMs are designed to trick people, and an LLM has already tricked you into being a fucking asshole. if you trust an LLM’s output for medical issues, it won’t be long until it tricks you into being a dead fucking asshole.
@zzt I'm at the point where anyone who relies on ChatGPT for medical advice should absolutely have to use ChatGPT to treat the results of that. And nothing else at all.
Quoth the techbros: "it's only a sacrifice if we didn't want to dump them."
