LibreOffice isn’t an alternative to web-based office suites.

They probably don’t want to deal with Microsoft lawyers.

I’m surprised admins found a window large enough when github wasn’t down to ban the researcher.

AI is great for this. We shouldn’t put people with disabilities at a disadvantage because of the anti-AI hysteria.

Well why would lemmy and reddit be any different? Same format, same people - just on a smaller scale. But it makes any drama more visible.

I guess this is inevitable given the open nature of the fedi. Still, it’d be better if admins were open about this as some people have broader ethical concerns, and they might not want to sponsor instances that use these money to pay for LLMs.

I understand that some form of automation is necessary - we saw large instances closing because they couldn’t find mods. My main objection in this scenario would be is that I didn’t consent to train OpenAI models. I think the users should know if their instance uses external services like that.

I also suspect that there might be cheaper and more ethical solutions. Although it’s hard to talk about this without seeing the actual results.
