    Yeah, you can run models that outperform those that required a whole data centre just a year back on your laptop today. The benefit of privacy should be obvious here. They were trained the same way every model is trained.

    If you don’t need it that’s good for you, but try to develop minimal empathy to realize that what you need and other people need may not be the same. Also, are you seriously advocating for copyrights here? The whole argument about models embodying labour is null and void when we’re talking about open source models that are publicly owned.

    Meanwhile, Marxists have never been against technological progress under capitalism. The reality is that this technology will continue to be developed whether you throw your tantrums or not. The only question is who will control it. People who think they can just boycott is out of existence are doing the same thing that libs do when they try to fix problems by voting.

      Literally the thing I’m saying is bad.

      I’m advocating for my artist friends to not die on the streets.

      I’m not boycotting it out of existence, I’m arguing against its use because of the harms it causes. If your calculus is that different than mine, there’s simply no point in continuing this discussion

        So literally boycotting then. There are two paths forward, proprietary models that are owned by corps and open source models that are publicly owned. It should be obvious which is the preferable option here.
