    JK Rowling expresses her opinion on transgender women and receives some pushback - Rowling responds to that by going all out in making her being a TERF her entire personality.

    Linus Torvalds goes on Linus Tech Tip and when ask for his opinion on AI, states that it’s coming anyway so we better get used to it - receives some pushback and is now rapidly becoming the guy who makes using AI his entire personality.

      I fail to see how this has anything to do with the Harry Potter lady or the YouTube tech guy.

      Oh, the irony here. In truth, it is your kind that make AI hate their entire personality. AI really lives rent-free in your heads. To all us normal people, it’s simply just another tool.

        I mean, the AI hate is unfortunately really justified, for so many reasons. And I say this as someone who appreciates how useful LLMs are at processing language, especially those of the programming variety.

        There’s the whole billionaire techno fascism trying to use AI as a tool to further enslave us. Or those same people stealing people’s work illegally and profiting off of it. The entire consumer tech market being destroyed. The environment. The tax breaks and subsidizing small communities pay to prop up data centers. Those same communities paying more for utilities, while they still CAN afford them. Brain atrophy. The issues the education failing to keep up. Misinformation. Fraud. The list goes on, so so many terrible things.

        But yeah, for people who already understand how programming works, it can definitely help save time and effort.

        Does the cost outweigh the benefits?
