It’s tough to know where to stand when it comes to AI. I don’t think anybody here is hoping that the fediverse be overrun with LLMs and bring about the dead internet theory.

There’s the problematic fact that open weight LLMs are still trained by these corpos, which definitely has some environmental impact. It’s troubling.
