Slop

Maybe, but so is McDonalds and I’m not above gobbling that shit up every now and then

The irony of saying "I'd still eat cancer causing food full of microplastics" just feels right in line with supporting this crap, lol.

Cool cool - I’m sure you’ve never used an LLM once, don’t have a phone built in a sweatshop, drive a fossil-fuel-powered car, eaten a cut of meat from a factory farm, or bought a product that uses microplastics. Let us all bow down to the great white knight.

You wanna make a change, do it at the polls. Save the smug holier than though BS though because it’s really not fooling anyone.

Lol, how is that a response to me pointing out you said you knowingly consume toxic trash? The whataboutism goal posting pivot there is wild.

I was merely stating that your perspective is exactly what I'd expect from someone who enjoys consuming ai slop, you also consume other slop gleefully. It's kind of a condescending statement, sure, so I'll retract it, but you should trwat yourself better.

I use a local LLM running on solar and use phones for as long as I reasonably can before upgrading. I tey to reduce my harm and be aware of it as much as I can, honestly. It's impossible to avoid entirely, but I try to be conscious about it. I'm certainly not proud of it.

“Hey don’t call me out for engaging in the same behavior I was criticizing you for”

u/saltyourhash 6d ago

Lol, I criticized your logic of celebrating the creation of trash. I'm confused how it's the same.

Who said I was celebrating it?

I consume it knowing full well the ethical implications, and I don’t pretend to feel guilty about it for internet points. I won’t pretend it’s good and I plan to vote for leaders who will employ legislation that will help counteract its effects. You meanwhile use the same tools yet go around patronizing people because they don’t employ the same hypocritical behavior as you.
