      Cars are fascist-backed technology. So are computers. Highlighting such a fact is irrelevant.

        Cars are fascist-backed technology.

        Ford cars are certainly fascist-backed. Volkswagons, too. Idk if I’m going to stick the label on the Olinia or the Renault.

        So are computers.

        The Chilean Fascist Augusto Pinochet famously shot all of his country’s computers for being Communist.

        Highlighting such a fact is irrelevant.

        Weird that you’d bring it up. Weirder that you’d get so many of your facts wrong.

              Exactly. It’s all nonsense. But we need to single out this nonsense in particular and hate it. Because it has different potential outcomes…

                It’s not allnnonsense. LLMs are being used to “solve” small problems but pollute way more than normal datacenters, way more than you using your personal computer etc. You seem heavilly invested in denying any bad thing from LLMs …
