Oh, well, aren't you smart...

I also use Amazon. I buy my groceries from my region's local monopoly. I have a Facebook account (that I only use for marketplace). I also pay taxes, a portion of which goes to killing poor brown people for some reason...

Yes, I exist in a capitalist system and consume thusly when it benefits me to do so. Just because my money goes somewhere doesn't mean I like the people whose pockets it goes into. I prefer using local models for most of my low-hanging-fruit LLM needs, but frontier models have their place, and their uses, and so I have a subscription (which I've shifted around a few times).

also really not a big fan of the major chip manufacturers and brands, but I have a computer filled with the things. If you want to open up a fab or a frontier lab and can compete with them on quality and even get in the ballpark of them on price, and aren't a fucking Nazi, I'd be more than happy to use your product instead. However, here we are.

P. S. I also bought a Nestle chocolate bar the other day, and they're basically a manifestation of satan. It is what it is...

Some things are a requirement to function in this capitalist society, but using slop generators isn't one of those things. You do you though.

Neither is the chocolate bar, but yum.

Personally, I like things that improve the quality and enjoyment of my life. But agreed; to each their own.
