I don’t. I’ve never had an OpenAI or Claude subscription. Basically the only thing I’ve used Claude API for is science/testing when comparing it to an open weights model, and I haven’t done that in some time.

I’ve never felt a need to, either.

Not that Im perfectly innocent or anything. Or that you’re wrong. People DO exactly this, and it makes me scratch my head.

I’d wager people like linux devs will learn exactly how unreliable they are, quickly, once they start using them. Its kind of impossible to miss.

There’s a chance some devs succumb to AI psychosis, but that’s why these large open source projects are institutionalized. No one person can ruin them, by design.

As for ethics, I think the open weights LLMs are far more ethical. They’re trained modestly, presented as tools, apache licensed, self host able, more efficient to run, and good enough; people just need to know they exist as an alternative

Well that’s because copilot and cursor are pure shit, and claude code is overpriced and over rated.

TBH I have been hopping between agent frameworks, but mostly I use locally run Qwen or Deepseek to draft individual function blocks or brainstorm in a notepad interface:

And manually insert them as I review the code… I like my stuff uncomplicated and unobstructed.

If I were to pick an API provider today, I’d buy one year of Xiaomi MiMo, because it is dirt cheap and good enough. GLM and Deepseek are great, but more expensive since they are popular now.

I think the people most extreme about it haven’t done much development.

Or they have, professionally, and associate it with very real AI psychosis at work.

Or they’re in school and see LLMs ruining the student body, as we’ve seen some in other Lemmy posts.

It all comes down to ethical tool sourcing, and using those tools in moderation, responsibly. Like all sorts of other automation/technology that’s popped up in programming…

But I guess I’m saying I can sympathize with absolute “no-LLM-code” positions, too. The way true vibe-coding has been peddled to the public really has done tremendous damage, and honestly the space deserves the negative attention its getting, and then some.

In practice, I found it breaks sites more, lets some things through, triggers more adblock detectors, and doesn’t work as well with the annoyance list.

It doesn’t work on YouTube. And the maximum number of entries to block is limited.

Its not catastrophic though.

So UBO Lite is not wholly ineffective, no. It works great, mostly. Buts its definitely more of a nuisance to use, which is exactly what Google wants.

It won’t for long. Its only because Ungoogled Chromium is on a stable channel, but this removal will catch up to them soon.

This goes for all Chromium browsers, except those that hack in their own adblock engine like Cromite or Brave.

Well, it anonymizes you by “faking” the tracking. I would hope it takes steps to sandbox the ads.

You didn’t answer my question.

What does rosetta have to do with any of this?

Intel must be kicking themselves for not using their own fabs for Arc, AND divesting from Micron, Optane, and HMC.

Apple and others must be too, for snubbing Intel and Samsung.

They would be making money hand over fist, and relieving the market at the same time.

No, @[email protected] is right.

What does Rosetta have anything to do with what OpenAI needs? Machine learning on Macs is done in MLX or something else with Metal, running OSX. Most agenic frameworks or other ML-related infrastructure are just Python, or open code that can compile on OSX/Macs just fine. In fact, OSX is often the first target platform.

This even includes inter-node frameworks for clustering Macs together.

No one doing “AI” on Macs is using Rosetta. There’s no point, and its a bad idea. They’re doing everything in OSX, which works fine, and I can’t imagine what OpenAI would be doing with them that wouldn’t work in OSX.

But maybe I’m missing what you’re implying here. And I’m sorry to come off as thorny, but condescending comments like “I’m not here to teach a computer science class” rub me the wrong way.

Prehistoric YouTube is the best.

That’s a significant security risk, unfortunately.

If that happens, I’d suggest a fork with a built in blocker, one that still gets security patches from upstream Firefox.
