Except I argue that such a choice is emotional. And you captured the essence of what I was saying in other comment.
And I am not sure but like, I have got this one life. Why can't I just be a good guy who wants to help others while still being in the system.
Why do I have to suffer for other peoples decision and have to bear the mental responsibility to.
Nobody's perfect. Neither do I intend to be. We are all gonna die. I just want to leave my community a little bit more charming place. Not bring revolution.
I can't escape the system because this thought terrifies me. It terrifies me because you have to pick your battles wisely. I won't leave my coding job because of llms.
Instead if I am really feeling like trying do good. I can donate extensively and live a frugal life for some time and donate to people who are dying due to hunger and such
And I would still have the freedom to go back at any I stant and stop donating.
The same can't be said about leaving a job. Its hard to reenter
I am not sure lol. But I would much rather build stuff that I like with llms and then donate instead of the project not existing or taking way longer time imo
