I don’t entirely disagree. I’d add that whatever other options there are, they involve skills, values and perspectives that are unpracticed and atrophied in modern western culture (and likely globally) to the point that that is its own problem.

p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoThere’s only two choices:
- Learn how it works, adapt it to your lifestyle, use it as a weapon against the rich fucks that try to use it against you.
- Continue to act like luddites, bury your head in the sand, and pretend that it will go away. Which it won’t.
That’s it. Those are the choices. Most are sucking in that copeium for the second option.

Why are those two the only options that come to mind? You can’t imagine working against the rich fucks without using autocomplete?

And what is your plan exactly?

What’s yours? Pay Anthropic $2k/mo to generate fake C&D letters and send them out to random businesses?
Unless you have a plan that doesn’t rely on the service-based models, then I don’t see where you’re going with this. Sure, you can use self-hosted models, assuming you’re fine paying for the GPUs (Jensen Hwang? Lisa Su? Lip-Bu Tan if you’re feeling special?) and power to run them of course. But you’ll be “behind” the big cloud-based models, endlessly chasing after them.
Or, hear me out, don’t use them and do it all yourself and you won’t have to pay these companies and make their execs richer.

Nice try fbi.
But the implication that a chatbot is needed to knock rich fucks down a peg is silly to me. Orcas didn’t need Claude to attack yachts, the ocean didn’t need Gemini to crush that dipshit and his sub, saint Luigi didn’t need grok when he was being a referee for my child’s soccer game
If a token predictor has removed your creative spark, then you’ve already lost. That’s unfortunate, but assuming everyone else has lost would make you wrong.
