@jadehopepunk@hachyderm.io I think another strong policy would be "local first" or "local only". Funding AI firms through a monthly subscription is a vote for further data center expansion (which leads to most of the other bad stuff like emissions and excessive water use). Put that money into your own hardware, source your own renewables and be responsible for your own bills.
The rest of your principles seem solid... I would maybe push back on the hobbies one. Integrating a small local model with Home Assistant has been a lot of fun. Our home now has some personality and it helps to soften what can be quite dry technology.
How do you feel about the training side of things? Do you actively block LLM crawlers from your content?
