I like duckduckgo. I use a self hosted searxng mostly because I think it's neat. I actually like ddg better, but I still use searxng cause I like selp hosting stuff.

I didn't say they were smart

If you are interpreting what I said as a defence of AI, then this conversation is useless because you are deliberately misinterpreting it at best, or at worst being deceitful in your rhetoric. Good day.

Linux kernel devs use AI. This post is clearly that XFCE and Brian Tarricone are bad because AI bad. It is therefore hypocritical for commenters in this thread to continue using the Linux kernel if they are going to apply this standard consistently.

Because money

How easy it is to have maximalist positions on the internet, where they never have to come into contact with reality.

I suppose you'll be moving off of Linux then, as the kernel devs have made their stance on AI quite clear.

Boycott of the Linux kernel when?

The above commenter was calling into question my character because I had just created my account today. The definition of ad hominem I'm familar with:

"Attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument."

The commenter seems to imply that because I created my account recently, that my argument is therefore somehow not valid. I would consider that the be an attack on my character or motivation, rather than addressing my position. Would you agree or no? May have been a bit of an editorial stretch on my part, but it certainly doesn't call for you actually calling me names and insulting me. I'm just here for some banter. Your comment is obviously malicious, and I think you're better than that.

Jesus man I'm a person with feelings, you don't need to act like an asshole.

I can tell when I'm not welcome. I'll see myself out.

Have a good day.

Now you're being deliberately obtuse. I was quite clear with my criticism. You have chosen to ignore that and replace it with your own imagination. You seem like you have the ability to read, so I'm going to write off your characterization of me as "pro-AI" as hyperbole, because there's simply no way that someone with a functioning brain could have arrived at that conclusion based on my argument.

I'll spell it out one more time assuming you're actually still willing to converse in good faith. This is a capitalism problem. Full stop. The incentive structure to build these exploitative systems is too great. It's not a government problem (although that too is a huge part of it). It's a private sector one, and the rot is so deep that this is basically the logical endpoint of our deeply corrupt and exploitative system. You posting "look at this fucking swine using AI to write code" does nothing the change the material conditions that make this so. Asking people to stop using AI will not work. It's not because I think asking people not to use AI is dumb, or bad, but that it just simply doesn't work. It's not a judgement about you. It's simply that it isn't effective because it doesn't scale.

So you can keep trying, and more power to you, I'm happy to be wrong, but it's not gonna work. Go ahead and downvote me all you want, call me names, mischaracterize my argument all you want. At some point, continuing to do so is at best malpractice and at worst cynical virtue signaling.

Our economic model is built on death, hatred and white supremacy. It's built on genocide and domination. This shit is baked in to the fucking core, man. It's not going anywhere. This AI shit is a symptom, not the disease. You wnna fix this, you gotta do more than scold post FOSS devs for your lemmy army. That's all I'm saying.
