Yesterday Cory Doctorow argued that refusal to use LLMs was mere "neoliberal purity culture". I think his argument is a strawman, doesn't align with his own actions and delegitimizes important political actions we need to make in order to build a better cyberphysical world.
EDIT: Diskussions under this are fine, but I do not want this to turn into an ad hominem attack to Cory. Be fucking respectful

Life is complicated. Regardless of what your beliefs or politics or ethics are, the way that we set up our society and economy will often force you to act against them: You might not want to fly somewhere but your employer will not accept another mode of transportation, you want to eat vegan but are [ā¦]
I may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.
It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.

The unimaginable disdain of releasing a Cyberpunk collectible that only the most debased corpo-loving bootlicker would want.

just wow. read this, from Techdirt:
Wired, Business Insider Editors Duped By Completely Bogus āAIā Using āJournalistā Who Made Up Towns, People That Donāt Exist
Here's Wired's mea culpa:

Techdirt's Karl Bode correctly concludes: "This country has taken an absolute hatchet to quality journalism, which in turn has done irreparable harm to any effort to reach reality-based consensus or have an informed electorate. The rushed integration of āAI,ā usually by media owners who largely only see it as a way to cut corners and undermine labor, certainly isnāt helping. Add in the twisted financial incentives of an ad-based engagement infotainment economy, and you get exactly the sort of journalistic outcomes academics long predicted."
The rushed integration of half-cooked automation into the already broken U.S. journalism industry simply isnāt going very well. There have been just countless examples where affluent media owners rā¦
