KDE and AI, and you, and me (pointieststick.com)

Personal opinion: Nathan seems to be really side-stepping a lot of concerns brought of up in the comments there. And referring to people coming together collectively in an open-letter when virtually all other channels are closed as 'brigading' is... Not cool. Edit: he retracted the use of brigading.

EDIT 2: Nate has since closed the comments on his blog, and the one discussion thread on KDE Discuss about the AI Policy was closed suddenly without explanation after a KDE developer began to discuss the ethics of AI use. Nate then responded after the thread was closed with this:

Not that I'm agreeing with OP and their ilk, but imo "ethical" must include broader environmental and societal and geopolitical impact.

You do not address this.

But afaik LLMs that are ethical in this respect as well, also exist. Although maybe they aren't "Large".
