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

When I said that your discord clone doesn’t need e2ee, I got a lot of comments along the lines of “ then how would I use it to organize the revolution!” The answer is: you don’t. If you have more users than can comfortably share a Signal chat and hence want to use discord or something like it, you cannot POSSIBLY be vetting all of them to a high standard of trust. Your logs ARE leaking. End-to-end encryption between more people than can fit around a dinner table is pointless.

This article confirms what I already assumed, that “open source [information sense, not code sense] intelligence gathering on social media” includes, for the US government, asking for links to join groups that may *feel* private. My own discord has literally like a thousand idlers. It would be very *lucky* if none of them were logging for potentially nefarious purposes! And I remind the active users of this occasionally.

we have a phrase in the labor movement: "don't panic, organize"

if we apply it, it works every time

it quells existential dread, builds solidarity, and makes things better for the working class

remember, "rebellions are built on hope"

don't let THE MAN get u down

we can do amazing things if we bring our care, joy, kindness, and equanimity to the fore

"So my views on LLMs or Transformers haven’t hardened. They’re roughly the same as they were four years ago. The tech is what it is and while the exact details vary from version to version, its fundamental issues remain roughly the same as they were four years ago.

But my views on the tech industry and my peers in the industry have changed. They’ve changed dramatically." +1

okay, put it this way: if people had told you, upfront, that in order to use this chat thing you'd never touched before, you had to send them a copy of your passport and let them fucking scan your face and use their spyware to try to guess your age

you fucking wouldn't have. No you wouldn't. You've just chosen to refuse to look at what they've fucking done to you
