    Well, it says it does try to blacklist slop sites. But it's obviously hard to do.

    @kleines_z @researchfairy Didn't know they said that, just speaking from experience. Maybe they could better identify them, if they studied which sites the users block.

      @researchfairy "is a major driver of climate change"? Currently or (potentially) in the future?

        I can't just

        "Not use AI"

        AI is polluting the world and is a major driver of climate change, and even if I don't use it, it is still hurting me

        AI is actively destroying the scientific literature that I need to work with, and even if I refuse to use it, it is still making my life worse

        AI is deskilling my colleagues and stunting my students' growth in a way that I can't fight or compensate for

        I don't use it for anything, but I still can't fucking "opt out"

          @researchfairy It's a very sad situation. AI has some very helpful uses, from finding errors in pagues upon pages of config very quickly, to helping those who are disable, etc... But the WAY it's being used, and the way it's being shoved in to absolutely everything, and the scale of it all, the AI situation we have right now is so incredibly destructive.
          It's like harnessing radiation. We can make energy cleaner than coal and treat cancer, or we can nuke people. ...we nuked people

            @researchfairy you can always choose NetBSD. NetBSD foundation rejects AI code commits. More funds are needed to such foundations. While Linux graciously allows AI

              I would not look at this as 0-1 situation. If someone opposes a thing, one can not use it and loudly say about the reasons. It does not mean that everything around will change, but we need living examples that life without harmful things is possible. This can be inspiring to others. If people would have to stop using AI right now, the ban would have to come from autocrat - which is fine, but people would not understand why this change is needed.

                The billionaires promoting AI are some of the worst people on the planet.

                  @researchfairy AI is not a major driver of climate change.

                  All IT is responsible for about 2% of greenhouse gas emissions. AI is responsible for about 0.1% of greenhouse gas emissions.

                  You can know the actual major drivers of climate change. They are published annually by most countries, states, cities and companies. They are things like gas cars, cement manufacturing, rice cultivation, cattle.

                  I'm not arguing for AI; I'm arguing against not understanding climate change.

                    @researchfairy What I struggle with is the lack of respect for their own work, their own thinking, their individuality, their agency, exhibited by millions.

                      @evan @researchfairy nobody wants to live next to a data center because they make the area around them uninhabitable.
