    Because you’re an earthling, just like all of us, and LMs are threatening earth, and it is your duty to not use them, especially not for stupid memes. You must stop using LMs on your own computer or anywhere. I am telling you that as your sister on this planet that we both inhabit.

    Love you

      I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking at my expense or if you’re serious. This thread started to feel like Hexbear for some reason and it makes me want to cry

      If you’re joking know that this is a totally believable sentiment for somebody on Lemmy to have.

      If you’re serious, then you’re delusional. LLMs themselves can’t threathen anything, they’re not alive. You might be thinking about their power usage or the sentiments of the companies that make them, but none of that is a factor when using them locally. The computer uses the same power regardless of if it’s used to play games or generate text.

        Honestly fuck this platform. It is insufferable to post something I had found amusing just to be scolded for not following the Lemmy hivemind. If anyone knows a platform that’s not corporate and doesn’t have such a kneejerk hatred of llms dm me. Goodbye

          Lmao if people not wanting to see a user support an industry that’s killing the planet at an alarming scale in such a short time makes you want to leave, then I guess good riddance.

          “see if I make weapons at HOME with the gun-O-matic that Lockheed stole and killed so much to produce, I’m not supporting the military industrial complex!”

      A individual running a language model on a single 16gb GPU causes orders of magnitude less environmental damage than buying a carton of almond milk. Please direct your anger where it actually belongs, at the goddamn capitalist vampires building hyperscale datacenters.
