  • Good. Image generation has no ethical purpose. It either displaces jobs to funnel more money to megacorps, or it’s used in harassment and manipulation campaigns.

    LLMs as they are right now are not ethically trained, used or deployed, but they have a good use as a natural language processor and can be done ethically without ruining the environment, endangering people’s livelihood, funneling money upwards and being self hosted.







  • I like your question, but I can’t help but break it down:

    • A chopper is an informal name for a helicopter
    • Helicopters don’t (generally) fly near telephone or fiber optic lines
    • Telephone lines only carry around 90 volts AC at most at around 40 mA (give or take as more power draw sags voltage). You might feel it a bit on your tongue as it’s only roughly 3.6 watts at most. Volts tingle, amps kill.
    • The helicopter does not get electrocuted, the occupants would be the ones to be harmed
    • Electrocution implies death, “electrocuted to death” is redundant. It’s a portmanteau of the words “electric” and “execution”.

    TL;DR unlikely scenario, in which case the phone line current will not be felt at all and the occupants are instead more likely to die in a fiery helicopter crash from the blades colliding with power lines and / or power poles.
