    Swastikas aren’t inherently Nazi, but when you see one you automatically think of Nazis.

      Cmon, I know you know that’s a bad faith argument. I could also say that Nazis drink water but drinking water does not make you a nazi, and it hold more weight because AI is a tool, and not a symbol. Driving a car doesn’t make you a nazi; driving a Tesla maybe. Not to mention swastikas have different meanings and connotations in different parts of the world.

      For someone who is honestly equating using local AI with renewable energy with fascism, this might fall on deaf ears, but it might also offer perspective. A lot of people I run into in my circles are pro Palestine, pro Ukraine, neuro divergent, lgtq+, from all kinds of races and nationalities, and the vast majority find AI quite appealing and enjoy using it. You just compared all those people to Nazis, and are implying they are fascists.

      Which reminds me, a lot of them are also vegan. Animal farming is a lot worse for the environment, and what we do to those animals has a lot more parallels to fascism. How many people saying such things about AI and upvoting it are actually vegan, though?
