very weird they (1st linked repo) include Immich as having "AI functionality" and said functionality is face recognition and other features unrelated to LLMs

I wonder how much this sort of effort against AI is harming the contrarian vision of stopping it then helping, because we look stupid blindly hating anything to do with a neural network

the problem I have is the reductionist take that any project should be deemed 'tainted' if it has a permissive AI policy such as "use whatever you want but you'll be banned if its slop"

there are great arguments against LLMs, as they are today, to not exist, which I strongly agree.

it doesn't mean the best course of action is to target FOSS projects for tolerating its use, deeming them tainted for it, given they are not contributing to LLM's existence. thinking WE, as users or developers of said projects, are perpetuating the cycle of abuse is shifting blame from the massive corporations actually pushing all of it.

it feels the same like with "carbon offset" ideas, where the concept of global warming is framed as "if only we do our part by buying from this carbon-neutral brand we will save everyone!" whereas the absolute majority of worldwide carbon emissions are from corporations and not individuals, and said framing only serves to mask that fact

AI should be regulated 'til oblivion, but can we not point fingers at each other and actually focus the discussion on the real pushers?? because saying that, for instance, Immich, an actually great project built by people for people, is "tainted" because LLM contribs are "ok" and has facial recognition is absolutely stupid because it deflects so hard from the actual people fucking us over

impermanence forces you to be intentional with your system, where files are persisted, which is great for: hygiene like feeling like the computer was freshly formatted on each boot; using NixOS as intended by keeping things declarative (in other words, "nixmaxxing"); security also, to a lesser extent tbh, but it'd be protecting against malware nesting at impermanent paths

Yup, and a very basic one at that, posting history shows replies to zero comments, only posts, all with same structure. I wish lemmy.world moderated this better
