  • No. Let’s take Harry Potter.

    I acknowledge JK Rowling’s role as creator of the franchise as well as her current devolvement into this transphobe asshole that she is. The material itself is to my knowledge not transphobe (it doesn’t mention transitioning or trans persons itself, and could maybe even be viewed as pro-trans with the whole polyjuice stuff).

    So I know the source of this work and can thus be cautious about potential transphobe parts

    Her work is (ignoring her) a very popular piece of culture and we as a community should thus be able to extend it further, thus making it a community effort and slowly releasing it from the grasp of Rowling.

    So both can work together.

    I will not go into more detail about HP or JKR to save us all time.


















  • I read the article. (I think) I get your point.

    Your point as I understand it:
    We should not use AI or things created with it because it is built on slave labor (and stolen data and the destruction of the environment and…).

    But this does not work. It just doesn’t. That is why I posted the list. And as good as the list is, it just destroyed something in me when I saw it, because it is literally impossible to use tech and not use AI (-created software).

    Python is on the list, searxng is on the list, most browsers are on the list, fucking Linux is on the list.

    The whole web runs on Linux and python. There is no escape. You commenting here means that you use AI-products.
