If the site is meant to be a mechanism to circumvent policy with no other use case, it will probably get banned.
Thats not “free speech”, and free speech us only a protected right up until it starts to impact other human rights.
People seem to forget that free speech is not the only protected right, and that in most countries its definitely not #1 on the priority list, usually several other rights come before it.
Nah you specifically 100% are justified to gripe about it now, good work tbh.
You are demonstrating self awareness in avoiding hypocrisy, so yeah, you actually are walking the walk and thus get to talk the talk.
Its people that dont put in the work who still complain while simultaneously doing things 100x worse that are absolutely hypocrites.
Yes, I included that.
The usage is incredibly low “per capita”
If you think AI is special, its not. This same problem is present when you watch Netflix or order from Amazon.
People have a very warped idea of how much power/water AI uses.
You should go look up how huge the datacenters that power everything else are too.
The site will be hosted at “freedom.gov,” the sources said
So… they will just ban that too then, what a waste of time and money lol
I mean, even AI isnt as bad as people make it out to be, people have GROSSLY overexaggerated the consumption of it to fit their narratives
If you crunch the numbers, a few hours of using even the most hungry of LLMs uses less water than washing your hands once >_>;
People don’t wanna hear it though because it doesnt fit their “AI bad” narrative
Millennials need to take a very long look in the mirror and realize this is their “phones bad” boomer moment and take the initiative to grow up. Its cringe and most of their gripes arent backed by reality.
Do LLM datacenters eat up power? Are they bad for the environment? Do they use a lot of water?
Yes… but they arent even in the top 10 of worst offenders that have been around for way longer and per-capita fuck shit up way worse
My fellow Millennials are only hating on AI cuz they are scared of it, or deeply deeply misinformed.
Id honestly be really curious to see a pool on how much water people think 1 convo with an LLM actually takes, Id bet the answers are so incredibly far off.
(The reality is its only a couple mL of water or so, depending on the model, if you wanna know)
I like how people treat these data centers magically different from the same shit we’ve been doing for like 40 years now.
As if suddenly now its a big deal.
The best part is the same people will use literally any type of AWS backed system and pretend its not just as bad for the environment.
People are too bad at math to go realize there’s like forty other things they do in normal day-to-day life that’s just as bad, if not worse, for the environment that jacks up their carbon footprint, as if AI is a big deal.
If you:
And many many other things, then any of those things are way bigger carbon footprints than a person fucking around with an LLM for an hour or two.
And if you try and act high and mighty about how bad AI is and how bad people are for using it, and proceed to do multiple of the things above, you are a massive hypocrite and an asshole, full stop. Go fix your own shit before judging others.
I dont drive my car to work, grow my own food, take fairly cold showers, avoid eating fast food, and am getting solar panels added to my home, so statistically speaking even using an LLM many times per day my carbon footprint is a fraction of other peoples, so kindly fuck off :)
Had me up until the automation/AI stuff
Trying to entangling your bias towards hating on LLMs/AI/automation makes you lose credibility.
“Disempowering labor through automation” isnt a thing. We’ve been automating our labor for thousands of years, its called science lol
People will do whatever they can to entangle their hate for <new tech> in with the other problematic stuff.
This is right up there with people entangling metal and dungeons and dragons in with communism during the red scare. It has nothing to do with that, you’re just scared of a new thing.
Canadians are chomping at the bit here to get a reason to go burn down the Whitehouse again.
So… how come people arent taking up arms now against people actively harming literal children.
This should be a reasonable tipping point, its a fucking five year old that got abducted, isnt that worth fighting for?
I think this is the point texans need to realize this is genuinely entering civil war territory. Not even a joke, children are being put into prisons and are dying, thats 100% something to load a gun over…
I am 1000% confident if texans just showed up with thousands of guns, theyd have the captives freed within a few hours.
Wheres all the gun nuts now when you need them, right?
During the second Trump administration, the population of migrants held at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities has exploded—from below 40,000 in January 2025 to over 73,000 today. Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for this population.
No one gonna call out the fact that this wording asserts the people are migrants, instead of alleged migrants?
Scummy… We know for a fact a shit tonne of these people are native US citizens being held captive by the fascists without cause, and are now also being denied their medical treatment as well.
Literal concentration camps, CALL IT WHAT IT IS.
This actually isnt that weird, happens all the time
However, its less common that it impacts a common consumer product of the same type.
But a thing to be used in making a huge project causing prices to shoot up ahead of time is very normal.
Its just usually stuff like concrete, steel, lumber, etc that is impacted the most, but turns out RAM as a global industry wasnt ready to scale up to a sudden huge spike in demand.
Give it a couple yesrs and it’ll level out as producers scale up to meet the new demand.
Its weird that this isnt being noted as a huge fuckin deal.
Congressional members being actively muted and then the public being told it was unanimous is some gestapo bullshit.
We’ve gone past talking over speakers and now are outright muting them…
Dawg literally forgot about the roman empire lol
Naw.
For context at this time the Jewish people were under strict roman rule and oppression, treated as second class citizens. And a lot of Jewish folks had stopped giving a fuck about respecting their own culture/religion.
Jesus shows up to this huge, extremely sanctious, temple. It’s not just any temple, its one of THE temples for Jewish worship.
Inside he finds that the romans+Jewish merchants have pretty much turned it into an animal pen + marketplace. It’s filthy, there’s animals shitting all over, there’s people doing business, people are being extremely disrespectful.
So yeah Jesus goes apeshit and starts flipping tables, chasing ppl out of the temple, whipping people and animals, basically being like “all you assholes gtfo how dare you”
It’s less about the money stuff and more about the donkeys actively shitting on the floor and ppl spitting on the temple.
Contextually its likely people were doing stuff like pissing on the wall (no bathroom in a makeshit marketplace, what do you think would happen), graffiti’ing, spitting, throwing garbage on the floor, so on and so on.
Now, originally, this business made sense. Specifically, pilgrims traveling a long distance needed to stop for some key stuff on arrival.
Pilgrims needed animals and approved currency for sacrifices, which they’d do at the temple, so setting up to do that stuff right at the temple made sense.
But what happened is a simple lil currency exchange + buy a sacrifice stall exploded to be a whole marketplace as seedier and more sus ppl moved in, and soon the original point was lost.
It probably originally just started as one guy just exchanging coins and selling goats/chickens outside the temple as a legit business.
As further insult/context, consider the fact that once they moved this process to be in the temple, it meant they were controlling people’s access to worship.
Effectively it became a state of “you have to pay to pray” at the temple, and not a tithe, but more like literally having to pay a bunch of money to even get the right coins, the approved animals, etc.
You couldn’t bring your own stuff now.
You know how movie theaters wouldn’t let you bring in your own food, and would charge you an arm and a leg for anything? Yeah, think of it like that.
Inb4 the same bug also exists on the original
The thing about QA is the work is truly endless.
If they can do their work more efficiently, they don’t get laid off.
It just means a better % of edge cases can get covered, even if you made QAs operate at 100x efficiency, they’d still have edge cases not getting covered.

“Hey internet I was thinking of cutting some of my babies dick off”
“Bro wtf what”
“Just a lil bit, just the tip!”
“Aw okay that’s fine mate!”
Did you think this would be how it goes?
Don’t… cut parts of your baby’s dick off dude, it’s a weird thing to do.
… Proceeds to use Svelte cuz it has the exact features I want
React is popular but I honestly don’t care about llm weenie vibe coder junior devs being biased towards react. Lions don’t concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.
The majority of shit apps are being made with react sure.
But skilled seniors who intend to make something robust don’t even tend to have an llm enabled that will even influence their opinion on the first place. The majority of senior devs keep repeating the same sentiment: llms primarily are slowing them down more than helping.
Junior devs that crutch on llms are falling behind and the quality of their output shows. They grow slower and produce worse output.
It’s one thing to use it for monotonous tasks, but if it influences your higher level important decisions you are probably already cooked.
I work as a software developer and the sheer increase to my productivity makes it extremely valuable for me on numerous fronts.
Id estimate Im about 4x as productive, give or take.
And most of that productivity isnt coding, most of it is what LLMs are good at:
Its really good at fuzzy searching huge datasets, finding needles in haystacks. When Im trying to find something specific in a codebase with thousands of files quickly.
While I agree most people are using it wrong or poorly, if you do know how to use an LLM, it becomes a huge productivity boost.
