@asie@mk.asie.pl outside-hosting "frontier" LLMs is also infeasible for many cases. The market will settle on a decent proportion of price to performance, including the price of hardware, once the bubble pops. Open source has always survived or thrived despite lower manpower due to good co-operation practices and passion. Increasing effective productivity on both sides of the equation does little to mitigate that. The tools exist, and they are useful. Boycotting them is infeasible, it's like being mad at Photoshop in 2005 for being too efficient yet expensive and continuing to edit photos in Paint. Pushing open source projects to reject them only harms them by tipping the productivity scale even more not in their favour. And as for piracy and EU's law, EU has tried to tighten down copyright laws so much that just learning on many examples would give their authors partial copyright over your work before. It was not a good idea and was rightfully killed, with Poles leading the opposition, at that.
