@mitsuhiko How can "actually trying" AI make any difference to a person's position on whether basing the technology on extreme resource consumption and ignoring copyright is acceptable? My deep discomfort over these matters won't be altered by using AI tools - does that mean I'm somehow unable to have a "measured position", whatever that might mean?

@pfmoore Your discomfort is a position on acceptability based on your ethics. What it doesn’t give you is a view on how the technology behaves in reality. Those are separable. The post is about that second layer. I also mostly wanted to focus on the fact that the people that explore the space look like adopters, even if they are quite critical.
