I'm glad we're looking at ethical alternatives to imperialist tech generally but my position remains that the ethical alternative to large-language-model SAAS is "don't."

"But people want this" - Just one hundred accounts are responsible for the great majority of the conspiracy theories being peddled in Canadian social media. Do "people really want this", or do a handful of really loud assholes with a handful of system-privileged amplifiers want everyone to want this?

An externality is just a subsidy that's been extracted from people who weren't given a choice in the matter.

@mhoye I think "system-privileged amplifiers" is an overestimation. After eliminating those who are sock puppets for foreign interests, I'd wager a good number of the rest have bought into Objectivism and Libertarianism and don't realize that the deck is fully stacked against them just as much as it is anyone else who isn't backed by preexisting wealth. The ones with system privileges just sit back and laugh at the lot of us.

@mhoye The problem is that we want to believe politics is driven by a majority of the population’s opinion
When in reality what it takes is exactly one single asshole with the right amount of power and influence to fuck shit up for everyone else, no matter what everyone else thinks
What needs to be done is to identify those powerful assholes and stop them. Do not underestimate their power and influence.

@mhoye I like this. Putting it right next to "Profits are just unpaid wages."
