Nah, fuck Brian. He’s an AI using twat. No care for the environment, people, or IP that’s been stolen.
This AI apologizing needs to stop. Yes, the implications for AI are dangerous and foolhardy. Full stop.
How easy it is to have maximalist positions on the internet, where they never have to come into contact with reality.
Why should I take what you have to say seriously when you can’t even be bothered to read the entirety of my post where I agree AI is bad and this doesn’t make it go away
I suppose you’ll be moving off of Linux then, as the kernel devs have made their stance on AI quite clear.
