@xgranade@wandering.shop fascists built a lot of things that I've used against them. Riot shields and gas masks, for example. I don't understand why we shouldn't use existent tools to further leftist goals just because someone despicable invented them. Evidence shows that insane claims True Believers make are obviously false, but I've not seen evidence that LLMs are "useless." I've plenty of experience too. We don't know each other, I guess there's no reason you should care, but what's the point of talking?

@komali_2@mastodon.social You came in with a wild and unsubstantiated claim, now you're playing all hurt when I called you on it. Go troll someone else with your AI boosterism.

@xgranade@wandering.shop I'm not trying to argue they're a categorical good, I just don't see how it's a bad thing to leverage them to quickly spin up a site turning publicly available data on pedestrian involved traffic incidents into some boomer-friendly charts that I can show to a local minister when I meet with her. I can build that myself, but with LLMs I can build it and five other things in the same time. So like, how's that bad?

@komali_2@mastodon.social @xgranade@wandering.shop the important part here is by using an llm you depend on fascists working hard to make your work less valuable

@komali_2@mastodon.social @xgranade@wandering.shop To be fair there very much might be some effective counter use oppertunities. Anti-stylometry comes to mind but I really couldn't say how that one shakes out.
