@witix@mk.absturztau.be Again, I disagree with Torvalds that the only argument to exclude LLMs for a project would be “SJW stuff”. On the other hand boycotting all companies that actively undermine trans rights would be almost impossible seeing that AMD, NVIDIA, Oracle, Apple, Intel, Qualcomm etc. all directly donate in large amounts to the Trump administration and other fascist entities. Let alone the food, personal care companies etc. that everyone consumes from on a daily basis. LLM companies are not per se unique in this. Kinda boils down to the idea of no ethical consumption under capitalism. On the other hand I can see that you don’t need to use LLMs, but honestly under the current ridiculous corporate pressure to use them, I will not fault any individual for caving in and using them to save their own asses and not starve. If you live under capitalism, there are inevitably products you consume that cause harm to people, animals and the environment. Capitalism literally needs exploitation to exist.
