Yoooo I’m not fascist or fucking everything up. I’m just writing software with it k?

You're enabling them and wasting power and water, unless you're using models that are trained fully locally.

There’s a group of people that trained magic text extenders using all content generated by humans (me included), and you can download versions of it and use it privately at home.

It allows you to do things faster and more efficient creating further abundance and time for entertainment. I’m not wasting a lick of water or power. I live at the foot of a hydro dam. I’d argue the dam is actually the biggest environmental problem in the mix here.

Yeah, giant datacenters are popping up and there’s problems in the world. The humans want lots of electricity. We can direct that in a particular direction but I don’t think it’s right to simply deny people electricity. That’s a bit off topic.

But to deny the existence of an infinitely helpful technology for software development, when it’s free for me to use, seems fruitless and petty. It’s like getting pissed at a kid launching model rockets because you’re against daily sky polluting trillionaire rocket launches.

They were talking about fascist. You're the one who took it personally.

They said “you’re enabling them”. I don’t think I misunderstood.
