It's the idea that capital can embrace, extend, and extinguish computing, the idea that industry is more important than labor, that the climate crisis is an externality not worth worrying about. AI is the idea that stocks matter more than people.

The Fediverse has been open to quite a lot of new ideas. Many of these ideas are considered, often at length, and then discarded when it so transpires that the ideas are, in fact, shit.

The Techbro contingent are certainly trying to pretend that their Bright New Thing isn't just an exploitative variant on every fucking technological snake oil that we've seen since someone banged two rocks together to make fire, but we have no reason to treat their world-burning chatbots with any more faith than the assholes trying to convince us that ivermectin, wolfsbane and placenta are a panacea.

https://lemmy.world/c/fuck_ai

and in general across other spaces on Lemmy which aren't explicitly about shitting on LLMs, from what I've seen, the takes seem sane the majority of the time.

But I think this fits your point actually: both spaces (Masto & Lemmy) have much less pressure to lick corporate boots, so people tend to get less caught up in this frenzy of claiming their allegiance to the Shiny New Tech Thing

Like, name another network or website that is generally negative about LLMs. This is like arguing every restaurant should be McDonald's. Let fedi be different, please.

Still haven't got it right, or even vaguely close.
