Apparently there's some people who are mad at me over AI, so I'd like to clarify, for transparency:- I am mandated to use AI at work, and my professional GitHub account has Claude co-authored commits as a result. - If you are under the impression that quitting my job over this is reasonable, we cannot have a good faith conversation.- I do not and will not condone nor make AI-assisted code in any OSS repositories, aside from, as previously mentioned, work.- In the near future, I will be instituting an anti AI policy in the Sharkey project, with very narrow carve outs for specific use cases unrelated to the code itself.

Furthermore, on that last point? Upstream misskey has both an AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, as well as automatic copilot reviews. Sharkey is, as it stands, a fork of misskey before the slop got sloppier.

@julia Let me guess, some people go all "I was just following orders" about this.Edit: Oop! To clarify, I am not agreeing with those people, I was trying to say it's ridiculous to compare people who carried out genocide orders with people made to work with LLMs

@julia I know, I'm agreeing with you. I'm working in video game localisation, if I denied every job that involved AI or morally questionable client companies in some fashion, I wouldn't be able to pay the bills at all.

@julia I know, I did realise my comment unintentionally could be read either way. 😅There's a scale of ethical boundaries of course, but I think "working on a project that requires LLM use to pay the bills" or "translating a Blizzard game" is not really comparable to "writing concentration camp software" or "working for the US military", but that nuance really gets lost on a lot of people.

@juliaTo be fair, I used to be the same in a lot of ways when I was younger, so I have some initial sympathy for those people. I get how it happens.In a lot of ways, being progressive sometimes functions more like a vibes-based identity than a coherent ideology, especially in group dynamics and among young folks. It's no longer about the actual opinions.Especially when you're young, insecure, and just started learning about leftism, you reeeally want to belong with the cool punky queer leftist radicals with the most vocal and extreme opinions. After all, they're super cool and intimidating and they keep saying they're the most resolute and uncompromising fighters for a better world. And you already (correctly) made the experience that lefty stuff is good and righty stuff is evil, so if they're the most leftist, they must be the best people.You desperately want to fit in and you want them to accept and validate you as a good person. Being a part of the group gives you a sense of community and belonging, you're constantly told you're on the good guys' side, and besides, you might be attracted to them and their style, you might want to explore your queerness, and you care about what the cool older trans woman thinks about you because you want to find your own place in the world and you want to be like her and she's 'goals' (bleh).Maybe you don't yet understand all of the opinions you're supposed to have to fit in. Maybe they don't make much sense to you yet. But you can't question them or talk about it. Any misstep might out you as a poser or a bigot! Any doubts might mean you're throwing a minority under the bus! Any 'libshit' opinion might mean the cool goth tgirl lesbian no longer thinks you're cool! You're not a 'safe person' anymore, people will be uncomfortable around you and you'll never be invited to any event ever again! All this adds to the pressure to "repeat what we say or else you're part of the problem". You reeeally don't want to look like a wimp in front of your new friends, right?This peer pressure leaves only one solution: copy everything you hear so people like you. So having a vocal social opinion ends up more about signalling your group membership and looking for validation as a good leftist from the people you think are cool, than about the actual topic at hand. The more radical and extreme your opinion looks, the cooler you are. It's no longer about the topic at all.And uhhh well I'm not trying to sound like a conservative who "used to be punk" and is now complaining about 'cancel culture' or anything, lol! Because I know my past self would have accused me of such for saying these things. But no, I'm still a communist, I am queer, I am progressive, and I actually agree with nearly all of the opinions of the folks I'm referring to here in principle.I'm just afraid that these hidden peer pressure dynamics make leftist movements vulnerable to infiltration and outside manipulation by bad actors (e. g. the "discriminatng against people of wealth is bigotry" thing). Anyone can use these peer pressure dynamics to control us and what we think about. It's why TERFs often use feminism as a cover: to manipulate people who rightfully associate feminism with good opinions.And to circle this back to what we were talking about, I think that's why people like that attack others over this AI thing so radically and with so much vitriol.It's not about AI at all. It's about looking like you're doing your part in a fight against evil and fascism. It's all about the vibes, about belonging to the good guys. It's about being afraid to be part of the "centrists" or "libs" your cooler friends look down on. 'Nuance' itself is viewed as an attack right-wingers and centrists use to sabotage progress.It's the same reason why a lot of young leftists are super, super extremely passionate about Palestine and make it their entire identity, but not at all as passionate about any other ongoing genocide like the Rohingya one. It's because a pro-Palestine position is now socially a litmus test for good people, while an anti-Myanmar position isn't. Or why you'll be ostracised immediately for enjoying Harry Potter, while Minecraft gets a free pass and is even a 'trans culture' game.So a perfectly reasonable opposition to AI founded on actual arguments is corrupted into a blanket opposition to anything that has "AI vibes".
