  You did not build infrastructure, because infrastructure is fascist. Congratulations, you lose.
  You did not build structured hierarchy and specific rates / responsibilities? Now nobody knows what they're doing when the shit hits the fan. Congratulations, you lose.
  You decided that the ideologically correct next step was to fuck off into the forest and hide from the world? Congratulations, you lose.
  You decided to refuse to use AI on ideological and purity grounds? Congratulations, you lose, and now there is fascism at machine-speed and antifascism at human speed and fascism wins, this is just fucking physics, they can flood social media with a thousand LLM-run accounts in 30 seconds and you're still struggling to get 6 people on your fedi. you lose. retroactively you lose, you lose that thoroughly.

  The tools created by fascism are loot. to be stolen, repurposed, and used, gleefully, joyfully, to dismantle fascism. Mario Bros coin pickup noises! Sonic ring pikcup noises! All the tech is out there, steal it back! you bloody worked to make it, in many cases! antifascist workers, take the tools you fucking made back!

  Yes and no.
  So the no part is bigger ethical issues with flash tech and not just a recent thing either. Most flash tech had huge exploitation involved with it. Bayer is one big example. So is many of the vaccines.
  Now we did choice to steal and use those in the end. Which is the yes part. Of course some of it is still attributed back to the flash who made it.
  This is the ethical issue around using flash tech is knowing about the exploitations and saying that is ok for progress.
  I had that choice. Because we should never had to choice like that but we do all the time.

  So in summary we already use a lot flash tech today and many times dont even realize it. Would you give that up, maybe maybe not. It is definitely something hard to do.

  This is why I have not given up on gcc yet, the llm usage has been limited and I am trying to grow the non llm developers/reviewers so that least when reviewing changes we can trust it more.

  @freya So why are you here and not using, say, Facebook? There’s a reason why people want to remain in minority created spaces, and it’s the same reason why people remain here even though they can’t stand the no AI crowd

  @WeirdWriter @freya I think there's no contradiction in wanting a space that we control, like the fediverse, that's always accessible with software of our choosing, where that choice of software can't be taken away as it was with Facebook and then Twitter, while not agreeing with the loudest ideology.

  @matt @freya Yeah, you have a point. I’d consider it more of a stance than an ideology. For it to be an ideology, it would have to have some political theory behind it. The fact that anarchists use LLMs proudly makes it more of a stance than an ideology.
