I’'m curious about the strong negative feelings towards AI and LLMs. While I don’t defend them, I see their usefulness, especially in coding. Is the backlash due to media narratives about AI replacing software engineers? Or is it the theft of training material without attribution? I want to understand why this topic evokes such emotion and why discussions often focus on negativity rather than control, safety, or advancements.

    What do you mean, they give open weights models back that anyone can use. Only the proprietary corporate AI is exploitative.

      Cool everyone can use the website they scraped the data from already.

      Also anyone can use open weights models? Even those without beefy systems? Please…
