    Let me rephrase: labeling machine learning on a massive scale with insane amount of damage to society and environment as “AI” is a trait almoat exclusively seen in the same people who promote racist, classist, sexist or otherwise divisive ideas. So yes, AI-bros == fascists is a valid takeaway, accepting that as all generalizations, it is not 100% accurate. It does capture however the essence of people promoting LLMs.

      Quietly learning to run local LLMs on old gaming PCs is the opposite of Facisim. As usualz nuance is lost on most, but those who don’t get caught up in the pendulum swing of public opinion could stand to expand their knowledge on the subject.

          [x] you assumed I’m arguing with your entire premise when it’s just a comment in a chain of comments.

      No it doesn’t. It has nothing to do with fascist ideology during WW2 era.

            No, you’re thinking of the strict historical prescriptivist definition of the word “nazi.”

            All Nazis are fascists, not all fascists are nazis, academically speaking.

              No. I know what I’m thinking. Thank you. Fascism was in Italy, during WW2 and before. “Benito Mussolini” rings any bells?

                Spanish fascism was around in WWII, they wrote their manifesto for their specific approach to it, and now we are dealing with American fascism. Those are two different and unique systems of fascism. You understand that politics and language change and evolve, right? There are multiple different faces and approaches to fascism, just like any other political concept. That version of fascism failed, this is the current iteration. Think of it like an OS, every version of windows is still windows, but windows XP and windows Vista aren’t the same conversation.

                  If they’re different and unique, they can’t both be fascism ffs.
