I'm not calling Nate a fascist or anything, but this is the same liberal mindset that got the world where it is at large. The "its worth reflecting" paragraph is honestly infuriating. The original post lists issues with AI only to conclude "but some people like it *shrug*" while brushing aside [...]

"Which is why we were moving forward with a policy that prevents this, and why it’s so bizarre that the process got derailed in large part by people who also agree with it.

It’s worth reflecting on whether y’all’s passionate advocacy against all LLM usage in general has led to a positive outcome, or whether it made things worse by delaying or preventing KDE from doing something you agree with, even if you didn’t think it went far enough.

I can understand and appreciate that, but some things have to move slowly, in baby steps."

This ended up being quite long, i apologise. Again I ask, what are we defining as "insufferable" here? I've gotten sneered at for asking some projects to implement strict anti-AI policies like I asked for a kidney. I admit I'm no programmer, but I dedicated myself to use FOSS stuff as much as [...]

I saw this screenshot going around, found this detail charming, looked more into the game (I've never played a Silent Hill) & decided to buy it. Btw these are the "unimportant" background assets AI idiots think AI should be used for

Screenshot of a Twitter post by Val / @shegoingtogloat - it's a Silent Hill screenshot showing a close up of a cork board. On it, a paper says "Welcome to Shorefront Family Clinic" in a classic wiggly 3D font style. The tweet text is: Is this a Silent Hill asset made using PowerPoint lol"

Amazing Digital Circus in Fortnite feels incredibly gross with all the transphobia and gen ai Pomni is now associated with Tung Tung Sahur, good job again, Glitch

Whenever this happens, I think about how it keeps ppl discussing job losses and never the jobs themselves. Pay workers so badly that they're desperate for more hours then the already grueling "full time" standard at a place that doesn't even want or respect them. #politics #xbox #microsoft

Xbox plans to lay off hundreds of employees this week. It will be there second major job reduction of the year, after Xbox eliminated 1,600 roles in July. Microsoft, which owns Xbox, Bethesda, Activision, and Blizzard, made over $100 billion in profit last year.

It may seem scary to speak truth to power until you remember that it doesn’t mean you have to speak truth about power to power, you can just say any true thing like “I’m wearing shoes!” or “It’s 4pm!” and it counts

Don’t use pronouns for AI. It is not a person nor ever will. Sam Altman isn’t making the god computer of his wet dream nightmares. They’ve made a shitty tool built on theft thats destroying the planet & is meant to lower human critical thinking while given military weapons by rich idiots.

I understand why you don't wish to invest any more emotional energy into the topic, but I feel dismissing "purity" activism is misguided. I appreciate and encourage art that expresses frustration with AI, yours included, but respect should only be granted to those who are themselves respectful.[...]

I'm not worried about GenAI in the "TEH ROBOTS WILL RISE AND KILL US!!!" sense. I'm far more worried about the toll of AI psychosis, or a GenAI-caused stock market crash causing world hunger, or environmental collapse brought about by the demands of GenAI data centres.
