    So are photocopiers.

    You’re really not getting it. You are saying the comparison of the printing press, the photocopier and then the scanner are equal to slavery and child labour.

    Somethings pretty fucked up in your head if you’re making that correlation.

    Also, ML has done a lot of good things too, even LLMs have their function and benefit, be it at a cost that may not be worth paying with our current energy generation and cooling solutions. You just don’t want to see it, you are deliberately looking away in your blind hatred for the system. Which I get, fuck the system and it’s owners. But God damn, comparing it to the torture that is slavery?

    LLMs are a tool, they have no inherent morality to them (I’m not talking about companies stealing shit to train their LLMs, you can do it without theft).

    Slavery is not a technology or a tool, besides a “tool of capitalism” or whatever the fuck you want to call it, seeing as it’s been around since we learned to lift a rock to another human. Humanities evil behaviour is not a technology.

      Somethings pretty fucked up in your head if you’re making that correlation.

      You don’t understand the comparison. Genuinely, I don’t think you are smart enough to even talk to about this.

      LLMs are a tool, they have no inherent morality to them

      All tools have morality.

      A slave is a tool.

      I don’t mean in the capitalist sense, I mean, literally, in the leveraging them to build a pyramid sense.

      Treating people like tools is why it is immoral.
