    Whether or not I use Claude is not going to change society, this requires changes at a deeper level, and we all know that nothing is going to improve with the current US administration.

    I mean yeah, that’s true. Why waste energy harassing developers of libre software for using AI? That’s not going to have any impact on big tech.

      The point of drawing a line is to make a clear distinction between acceptable and unacceptable. If you just move the line when it’s convenient then it means nothing.

        Sure, but if you end up policing only those in arm’s length you will have the opposite effect on the world of what you want.

          policing only those in arm’s length

          Dude, you’re on Lemmy. Do you not realize how many people on here are saying “fuck it, let’s drop Google and Microslop and stick with FLOSS”? How many people on here are trying to convince others to switch too?

          These people are already doing what they can to steer the entire tech space in the right direction. But it’s hard to influence the giants directly. To do that, you need good FLOSS alternatives, which doesn’t work if those alternatives start riddling themselves with slop
