one caveat: I was talking about Canada where those things are not so deep-rooted

While I dislike what those individuals stand for, their attitude and their ignorance, I do not think violence towards them will change things for better but rather aggravate things.

One has to look at the root of the problem. Why are they angry etc.? Fact that we have vast economic disparity within our society breeds this kind of behavior. When resources are plenty and everyone gets their fair share and doesn't need to live loan-to-loan people don't usually care about exclusion of others (well, there are always zealots with loose screws) and those movements to not gain traction. Look at fascism in last century: it has risen on the back of economic collapse of society when it became easy to accept "you can't eat because he took your food" kind of messaging.

Bottom line to stamp out those thugs we need to change our society drastically with a sharp turn left but we're keep on veering to the right with each election, which will end up in violence one way or another. Someone however has to be focused on the target though: political and economic system in Canada is broken and needs to be rebuilt, until then we will be miserable and thugs will proliferate

even 10 years ago I'd side with students as there was no imminent danger to necessitate military service. Today, however, is a different story: russia is unpredictable and war in Ukraine can spill over into the rest of Europe (just watch russian TV with calls to reduce Berlin to ashes, etc.). China is flexing it's muscle and US on on the colony snatching spree itself. At this point Sovereignty lasts as long as you have sufficient armed forces to back it up.

consider yourself lucky then

like leading us the wrong way. Or completely ignoring existence oh our house.

I'm old enough to remember them having "don't be evil" written in big letters on their campus...

truth is OSM has proven to be more accurate in areas I frequent vs Gmaps. We've got into multiple "situations" because of Gmaps

your points support my statement though: how vs what is the real question here. LLM is fine performing repetitive mundane tasks that we find boring and uninteresting. Like refactoring small chunks of code out or "search and replace" when context matters more than matching string etc. Also, let's assume someone had enough bitcoin mining gear laying about to repurpose it into LLM training infra and trains his/her small model on stuff they care for, suddenly we lose all the other arguments and use of LLM becomes more acceptable. So blanket ban at this point is not going to achieve any of the goals, really. Consider that majority of developers were mandated to use LLMs for work, consequently their skill shape changed, for project to draw from that pool of developers you need to offer comparable tools.

Context matters too: Graphene has to deal with AOSP, which lost it's development transparency a while ago and Graphene developers likely have to contend with big (likely LLM-generated) code dumps within mainline AOSP with each new release, so to keep up with that onslaught they either need to expand developer base (and we just said that pool is shrinking) or leverage LLM to cut through that mess. Again "how" tool is used matters a great deal.

Actually it's plan A vs paln B - try carrot first as it will provide better story for legitimacy but if all else fails there will be action. Jan 6 is still fresh in memory. Dude does not like to lose and will use "scorched earth" approach when cornered.

You've made a few of erroneous conjectures which are orthogonal to my argument. But I'll call out one: LLM is bad at code completion and it's use not have to be limited to (final) code writing. Thus my theses on "what" vs "how"

Exactly. Deeds need to be called out, but labels dropped I guess, because labels tend to change meaning over time ( "gay" would be an interesting example)

IMO it's the same situation as with POTUS45 and POTUS47 elections. Not talking about twisted facts and criminal behaviour would be to condone it and speaking out creates publicity.

Word fascism got (intentionally)overloaded over the last decade and means very little to a lot of people, reducing it to equivalent of "jerk" rather than evoke memories and feelings towards atrocities of WWII etc. So we need a better language 'cause when we call someone fascist today many tune out.

All of this is to say that I see nothing wrong with contents of the article but I suspect it has very little of desired effect due to the above. There must be a better way, but at the moment I do not know what is it.
