Anti-AI technologists only:
If and when the AI bubble finally collapses due to financial strain, and LLMs become synonymous with several open-source, open-weight, ethically trained models that run on your modest local hardware, would you use it?

This is a world without OpenAI, Anthropic, and those massive AI data centres. Maybe some smaller shops spin up no-code wrapper tools, but nothing like the surveillance capital shit we have today.

Basically, if the ethics, ecology, and extractive capitalism bits go away, would you consider working with these tools?

Hi there @utopiarte,
I'm observing this #poll question on the #friendica @helpers #group from over here on a #mastodon instance and can't like, only fav, yet actually I'd like to be against this proposal as it is very dangerous!

I wouldn't put my name on the line in this internet for poll's by name vote, #democracy or even post an opinion.

That's way to dangerous in the actually #zeitGeist of #neoLiberalFascist's having the thumb on LLM's to hunt us down.
