Now you're being deliberately obtuse. I was quite clear with my criticism. You have chosen to ignore that and replace it with your own imagination. You seem like you have the ability to read, so I'm going to write off your characterization of me as "pro-AI" as hyperbole, because there's simply no way that someone with a functioning brain could have arrived at that conclusion based on my argument.

I'll spell it out one more time assuming you're actually still willing to converse in good faith. This is a capitalism problem. Full stop. The incentive structure to build these exploitative systems is too great. It's not a government problem (although that too is a huge part of it). It's a private sector one, and the rot is so deep that this is basically the logical endpoint of our deeply corrupt and exploitative system. You posting "look at this fucking swine using AI to write code" does nothing the change the material conditions that make this so. Asking people to stop using AI will not work. It's not because I think asking people not to use AI is dumb, or bad, but that it just simply doesn't work. It's not a judgement about you. It's simply that it isn't effective because it doesn't scale.

So you can keep trying, and more power to you, I'm happy to be wrong, but it's not gonna work. Go ahead and downvote me all you want, call me names, mischaracterize my argument all you want. At some point, continuing to do so is at best malpractice and at worst cynical virtue signaling.

Our economic model is built on death, hatred and white supremacy. It's built on genocide and domination. This shit is baked in to the fucking core, man. It's not going anywhere. This AI shit is a symptom, not the disease. You wnna fix this, you gotta do more than scold post FOSS devs for your lemmy army. That's all I'm saying.

Come on now, you didn't just cross post this over here without adding your own editorializing. We understand your take, it colors your opinion, thats ok. Don't walk it back now. Own it.

Of course we can, but that's not how history works. People do what they will do based on their conditioning and material conditions. Of course not always, but enough where we can derive conclusions. Scolding and finger wagging isn't going to fix this problem. If you think one sliver of the population of Earth gives one single solitary fuck about reducing their carbon footprint, I have a bridge to sell you.

Look, I respect you and your take, I'm not trying to be an asshole. I just genuinely don't think your approach is a viable method of achieving what you're saying.

We're not talking about you, you can do whatever you want. I'm talking about publicly naming and shaming developers for using what is now a widely accepted tool.

Creating a callout post isn't standing up to anything, it's just noise. You get special internet points for it, but it doesn't mean anything and again, diverts responsibility from the people who built this fucking Torment Nexus in the first place.

How on Earth could you derive "I don't give a shit" from "stand up to systems of oppression, don't castigate individuals"? Do your eyes even work?

This type of name and shaming just doesn't scale. You can't recycle your way out of climate change. This type of thinking places the responsibility on the individual, who by very nature is powerless and who's individual actions have essentially no effect on outcome.

These types of sentiments don't scale well into change, but it certainly allows the person making the post to feel good and to let others know they think the right things.
