       On Matthew Garrett's post: "LLMs: (enable that)Free software people: Oh no not like that"No, people RENTING their empowerment to use computers in freedom is, in fact, exactly the "not like that" we have been talking about forever.Paying apple $99/year to put your own software on your own phone is also "not like that"Paying a company to let you use their computer how they want you is exactly what we didn't want.

       @dieweltist @hp the LLM doesn't magically become less harmful because you run it locally or train it on ideologically compatible material.

       @atax1a @dieweltist I'm only addressing the point that free software people, like myself, are being hypocritical about LLMs.Telling everyone who wants to write software to a) pay monthly to access proprietary software b) download and install non-free software locally to work with the SaaS software Is pretty much exactly the opposite of what we ever wanted computing to be.

       @hp @dieweltist we were addressing the other guy in your mentions. personally we think LLMs in any manifestation are a fascist tool and so "butubutubut local models" is like "local nazi party"
