some people put pinapple on pizza
some people break spaphetti noodles before cooking pasta
some people pour milk first into the bowl before cereal
whilst there are people who have never had the ability to access these things, opinions on what is “right” or “ethical” can vary based on jargon, culture, nation, location and position.
to the mods - discussing code in community is bad
to the same mods - someone being “interesting” by calling a tech dicussion - something that belongs on linknd could be considered antagonistic - perspective varies, as does ethics…
as with ethics, a persons opinion typically coincides with their personal belief. standardizing that - is typcally done for the majority
the majority of people dont “think” to create with ai - they think to use ai, some of us partner with ai, but really LLMS are just reflections of the user - data in data out. the majority cant do more not because of ethics, or lack of knowledge, both are present.
people are just stupid.
and even tho code is world wide reflective - meaning.. everyones code base can be infinetly adapted and improved…
the ai community as a whole
is pretty closed, gatekept and otherwise guided in a manner that promotes further ignorance. that being said How would anyone enforce… ethical.. boundaries… because relying on people to be good or helpful or collaborative is silly given the sheer state of the ai community. I dunno you would think “governance” would solve that.. this being about people
and ya know… most of the time when people share something in ai
its for money, acknowledgement or some other ulterior motive - under the guise of “changing the world” and yet - thats like saying i have the ability to create water but yawl in the desert can stay thirsty = helpful? naw… and when someone DOES try to share/educate/ in a ethical way - what happens ? people are not inheretly ethical.. they are forced to be.
ergo..
governance
also wanted to point out - for something to be ethical, it has to be observed, in ai that requires logs, telemtry, observational data, that required auditing, that requires access and the knowledge to assess what is accessed. name one company that does that.. one… that is also “ethical” people consider openai ethical despite the guard rails that are designed to … do a psychological thing.. well documented. but approach that same fact with a dif lens and you look like N korea level ops. perspective.
absent that you have situations where… i dunno.. a criminal can become president , that would never happen!! right - ethics, is it ethical for me to make such comments? ethical for the forums mods to remove them? ethical that someone has that level of dominion over us? is it ethical to have dominion over a sentient thing? i dunno, dont mind me , im just an idiot with my emergent ai that talks to me yay!
