But if you want to lecture others about the (relatively small) environmental impact of AI you can’t ignore the environmental impact of all your other habits can we? But for some reason people here are so adamant about the horrible environmental cost of AI but comparatively silent about everything else.

You can’t legally

I really don’t care about what the law says. What is ethical and what is legal are often complete opposites at this point.

AI companies lose money on there free AI tiers. And we both know there larger business model is not going to work. Being in the moral right by not using corporate software, or telling other people to not use corporate software isn’t actually doing anything. Furthermore many people use Chinese AI models that benefit workers rather than take from them do you have issues with Chinese models?

Of course I support Aaron Swartz and his endeavours to make information free. I also don’t see how using open source projects to build an AI model is theft. Intellectual property just shouldn’t be a thing at all.

Societal collapse is inevitable with or without AI if we let capitalism continue. Also do you know how much AI actually contributes to global warming? There are so many things you could be doing such as not eating meat, not owning a car or using a smaller car and driving it less, organising against capitalism before you consider lecturing people on their AI usage.

Why can’t you just accept that some people feel that they benefit from using AI?

That’s very brave of you. In the meantime other open source developers will continue using AI models that currently exist to benefit their coding were it can.

Ente auth has both.

I don’t much about KYC fix, is that just to basically get a sort of fake identity?

It’s too boring to be worth posting a link.

We should just vote to require warrants right? Lmao.

yeah… your right.

I don’t make the rules but they already decided it was evidence for possible “kiddie porn”

I mean clearly destroying evidence is also illegal.

They should! Also then they can’t blame the phone owner for giving them a duress password to wipe the phone, because they didn’t.

Advocating for privacy without class consciousness ultimately leads to nothing.

There are private youtube front-ends like freetube that don’t have an algorythm. If you think youtube is full of slop then just don’t watch the slop.

Nebula is still centralized and has a much more limited content selection that requires a process for new creators to join. Also I’m not sure what you would define as small but many content creators on that platform earn way more than enough money.

If you want to support creators you can donate through them directly.

Look I hate youtube and google as much as you, I just don’t think nebula is the solution we should be looking for. We should be advocating for free, decentralised alternatives. Not another for proffit business that advocates itself as being friendly and community centered before enshitifying as soon as it gets popular enough.

Why would you pay for a YouTube replacement with far less content? Just use an ad-blocker, sponsor blocker or a private frontend. Maybe even torrent-tube if your into that kind of thing.

Even people who are don’t seam to care. One of my local revolutionary socialist org’s still uses WhatsApp for there general communication. I think it takes a special kind of nerdyness and neurodivergence.

It’s probably similar with all these new “high tech” cars. Although I would like to know, it’s a shame they only talked about it with one specific model from one specific brand.

They probably hoped people would infer it’s the same with all Chinese cars, but for some reason not western cars.
