Yesterday Cory Doctorow argued that refusal to use LLMs was mere "neoliberal purity culture". I think his argument is a strawman, doesn't align with his own actions and delegitimizes important political actions we need to make in order to build a better cyberphysical world.

Jean Torres-Roman, 22, of Venezuela, and Newman Castillo Delgado, 23, of Venezuela were each sentenced after pleading guilty to charges related to the armed robbery of the Joyeria El Ruby Jewelry Store in Denver in June 2024. Torres-Roman was sentenced to 235 months in federal prison. Castillo Delgado was sentenced to 240 months in federal prison. The court also ordered each defendant to pay restitution of $3,939,076.26.
How it's made.
Despite Israel's massive restrictions, tens of thousands of Palestinians performed the weekly Jum'ah prayers on the first Friday of Ramadan at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.
US Senator Lindsey Graham defended Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and the killing of civilians, including children, mothers and entire families, comparing the US actions and its allies during World War II and calling to “just flatten” Gaza.

in reply to tante • • •I, for one, enjoyed the write-up.
As you, I do plenty of things that I either cannot morally or ethically defend or simply am ignorant of the harms of.
For other technology, I am either pressured to use it (by government or similar institutions) or I can at least use it 'for good' (facilitating some other good - in current case, student administration) and also make a living.
For LLMs, I fail to see the redeeming qualities that make the compromise 'worth it'. It's all nett negatives.
Frisk Fyrste Tofty for Helvede
in reply to Frisk Fyrste Tofty for Helvede • • •My point is that LLMs 'try' (and very often fail) to solve the wrong problem.
Writing all the boilerplate -> should be solved by better frameworks.
Spell check -> I think this is already invented.
Summarize long texts -> Executive summaries.
Produce (verbose) text -> Writing in my view is as much thinking as it is writing - skipping the thinking part is counter-productive.
