Reading a lot of Linux projects talking about LLMs now, focusing on if they work well enough or not. No talk about ethics, ideals or politics.
If it continues down this path, FLOSS will end up like the Ed Sheeran of software.

@enriquericos Unfortunately I think ethics doesn't match the fossbro type. They don't care about ethical computing or permacomputing, so I've been prioritising that nowadays rather than open source.
@turtle I know very little about permacomputing, some general principles that, seem to me, should be common sense. Any recommended sources to learn more about it?
@enriquericos Honestly, I know very little too, just the stuff from the wikipedia article 😅 I just know that it's often about reusing the chips. We don't need new ones. Try reading permacomputing.net though!!
@enriquericos Was open source ever about ethics beyond the 4 freedoms?
(Not that any of the 4 freedoms applies to AI, but the important ethical questions about LLMs are different ones)
