Perfect is the enemy of good. Just because every consumption choice cannot be ethical, doesn’t mean none of them should be.

I am condemning Linus and other like him because the choice to not use LLM’s isn’t a difficult one to make. You only lose a little comfort. So when you choose to trade everything shitty that LLM usage necessitates for a little comfort, just as Linus likes to say, you can go fuck yourself.

Reading these comments I have to contend that the halo effect is indeed powerful.

IMO it’s immoral to use LLM’s for any and every purpose and I think every slopper should be called out; no matter how accomplished they are.
