No, opposing LLMs isn't "purity culture."

@xgranade What is an LLM?

@ada @xgranade
THIS.

I mean, if "purity" means, I have an actual conscience and don't feel like participating in industrial levels of exploitation and bullshit, then, sure, call me a purist all day.

@xgranade I still keep hoping the Doctorow quote was just him doing a shit job of explaining his stance and he'll elaborate or that it's not true or is a misquote or something, because Doctorow was one of the few people left I agreed with on literally everything involved in tech and almost seems to be fundamentally counter to statements I recall him saying mere months prior.

I don't speak about this part of my opposition to its usage because I don't know what to actually do about this happening to people. It feels like I'm watching a bubonic scale parasite spread to everyone who even looks at a computer fondly for half a second and feeds on specifically the parts of their brain in charge of critical thinking and any and all technical skill that isn't just vibe coding or asking the LLM why it isn't working.
