I love AI as a concept.
I hate the reality of our current AI, which is benefitting corporations over workers, being used for surveillance and censorship (nevermind direct social control via misinformation bots), and is copying the work of millions without compensating them in order to do it.
And the push for coders to use it to increase their output, will likely just end up meaning expectations of more LoC and more features faster, for the same pay.
But FOSS, self-hosted LLMs? Awesome!
How is using Claude over Llama benefitting corporations over workers? I work with AI every day and sum total of my token spend across all providers is less than a single NVidia H100 card I'd have to buy (from a pretty big corporation!), at the very least, for comparable purpose?
How are self-hosted LLMs not copying the work of millions without compensating them for it?
How is the push for more productivity through better technology somehow bad?
I am pro FOSS but can't understand this comment.
