How separable are the two when scale is needed to run llms effectively? If you’ve used ollama on your own computer you know the limitations of alternatives. When you use big tech’s offerings you are helping to train their models further. Adding to their control. My suggestion isn’t necessarily abstention, but here tech and capitalism seem to be inseparably intertwined.
Socialism takes advanced, industrial production beyond the profit motive and into a consciously planned and pro-social direction. You can have industrial scale without having capitalism.
exactly, pretty much every serious argument against this tech boils down to capitalist relations rather than the tech itself
