@tivasyk@awawa.club @AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space I just found this reply. I really like your argumentation. I want to stand behind you guys. I don't want more accumulation of wealth and power. I don't want a future where machine communication gets put above human communication. My general dislike of the whole #noai bubble comes from this totalitarism that they show off. An article with an AI generated picture? An commit by Claude? A vibecoded bash script? Why do we condemn the people doing that? Why can't we acknowledge that they do something in the first place? Why can't we provide better options, like open weight models, open source harnesses, AI assisted security scanning? We are making our bubble smaller everyday by excluding everything and everyone "impure". That's not how you win people over. That's how you become the wizard in the Ivory Tower, complaining about the evil world. #OpenCode is a fantastic example. They went very deep in AI assisted coding until they realized it's not what they gain joy in anymore. So they dialed back and looked for a compromise. Give people things they enjoy more than whatever the evil big tech companies provide. That's how linux became great. Not by telling everyone to boycot Windows but by providing a better alternative.

@primeapple@polymaths.social > An article with an AI generated picture? An commit by Claude? A vibecoded bash script? Each of abominations listed makes perpetrator dumber and in the same time helps the Big Lying Machine spread its viral madness to more victims. > Why do we condemn the people doing that? Because ostracism is the last stand of those who, while unable to save the mankind as a whole, are trying to save enough enclaves of sanity to let our species survive. > We are making our bubble smaller everyday by excluding everything and everyone "impure". Because in the face of an outbreak of the brain eating virus known for its almost 100% fatality rate and no known cure the quarantine is a must. First, #siliconiac victim does a small generation of the funny picture for an article they write themselves, then they are tempted to "just polish" their next. They'll swear that they 'd do fact-check every generated sentence, and first they do, but virus got in – soon they are mere protein based point of contamination for many in their vicinity. #noai #bladerunner #cloudatlas #psychology @tivasyk@awawa.club @AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space
