You can be mad about that, but it has nothing to do with KDE.
Except that the KDE contributors would be directly supporting it financially and giving it training data.
Also directly financially supporting technofascists and oligarchs.
Also directly financially supporting the destruction of the environment, stealing of water and electricity from the poor, bribary of politicians both local and international, and destruction of communities.
LLMs run by corporations are terrible and toxic, with very few exceptions. We also can’t have a good faith argument and not acknowledge that the overwhelming majority of devs use those corporate datacenter models and not locally run models powered by home/company solar panels.
Sure, it’s an everywhere problem. But it would be nice to see more projects having strong preventative policies.
I think it is more important to leave people the freedom to decide for themselves. It’s not an opensource project’s place to tell its contributers how to work as long as the contribution fits their requirements. No one’s opinion is worth more than the other one’s.
“Individual freedom” as a primary driver over the last decades/centuries is what’s got the USA into the state it’s in now. I’d rather focus on something that contributes to the collective good.
Telling other people what to do is also a major conflict driver.
Sure can be. But it’s also a vital part of how any society works - it’s what laws are for (making no claims about the efficacy of current legal systems here), and it’s how you keep power in check. Libertarianism doesn’t work.
There is no law that prohibits AI use. Telling people what to do also does not work it is usually met with resistance.
I mean laws in a general sense… Like, you know, it’s illegal to murder or whatever. That is a form of “telling people what (not) to do”.
This is about KDE and its AI policy.
