Anti-AI fedi pact? (lemmy.world)

Not looking to debate or stir up anything. But, I will say despite anyone’s thoughts the anti-meta fedi pact at least allowed people to have some information on where instances and people stood on federation with Threads. Some decisions were able to be made based on that information. I think if it doesn’t exist there should be one also regarding AI, which is a polarizing topic especially on fedi. I believe similar to the Threads issue it would allow people to make somewhat informed decisions one way or the other. Are there current lists, sites dedicated to this? If not what are you guys thoughts?

The Threads issue was not polarizing at all, almost everyone here was clearly on the side that Meta can fuck right off

AI on the other hand does have serious arguments on both sides. What would the resulting decisions even be?

You're going to have a pretty tough time with DB0. I don't think any of us want AI bots posting fake posts or lazy slop bullshit, but many of us just see LLMs as a tool. It's not the technology's fault that a bunch of rich assholes want to drive the economy to the ground over it.

Yep, and local server LLMs that are open source and not corporation-controlled are awesome to use. But Lemmy isn't good a nuance so a lot of posters don't realize that and just scream "ai slop!" at everything. lol

No mob is good at nuance, which is frustrating. Black and white mentality bullshit.

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

However what doesn't? As long as I'm not actively burning absurd amounts of fossil fuels running queries...
