we were already in deep shit before AI and nobody
please, speak for yourself.
that is much bigger than one person
you are the one person presenting this app. defend your personal choices, and maybe take longer to consider everything said here before you do it again.
that’s often how things bigger than one person change- one person at a time
It doesnt hurt when they also use their mountains of cash and control of mass media and news production and outlets to champion voices supporting them, silence dissenting voices, stoke nationalism and xenophobia, and generally bend and warp popular culture to make fun of those who spend their time learning and doing well in school, educating themselves about history, gathering as workers, making patient, informed purchases-
the whole thing collapses when you look behind the curtain, everyone just hopes it’s not that bad, that the next big one happens after they die, and their kids can’t come knocking on their door to ask what the actual fuck were they thinking
Those are all good questions, about the vendors the companies I buy things from, and my responsibility in their actions
Maybe I should use less products that use AWS and you could consider your impact when using large language models to publish open source software. I’m almost certain both are in fact true statements, and if you knew me, you’d know I think “should” is strong language
If you want me to make a list of the products and services I avoid? How about this: I feel guilt when I use a service or buy a thing from someone I know I shouldn’t. I try not to do it out of pure convenience, and I don’t try to defend the behavior when I fuck up
Im truly sorry you suffered the ire of those who think your use of it is both wreckless and purely conveience based, but thems the breaks when you want to cut corners, dont care if its a hobby project or youre curing cancer- we can break the planet in scales previously unimaginable with our short sighted behaviour and Im about damn tired of “but everybody else is doing it”
why not try building a community around coding and maintaing an AWS stack replacement? maybe other human beings would help you with the parts you could use some help with?
