@w7voa »Lauri was a pillar in our community, an immovable force in her values for equality, love, and justice« — police shot the murderer, so will we find out whether this was a pre-mediated murder incited by others exactly *because* she was a pillar of the community?

His name was Jamal Khashoggi.
He was a journalist and critic of the Saudi regime.
He was lured to the Saudi embassy in Turkey where he was murdered and dismembered.

Are there people out there who are looking at #LLM/AI-generated content as pollution?

Because that is the analogy that makes the most sense to me. It's creating huge externalities for the profit of a few - proliferating enormous amounts of digital pollution (as well as real-world greenhouse gas pollution).

The more #AI/LLM churn out content for the internet, the dirtier the water, so to speak. Or the air. And the less it functions for users.
