I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

It's what my disability and neurodivergent brain allow me to do, but more than that, art saved my life.
Honestly it goes against a lot of people's sensibilities, but I decided it's better to be happy and poor than financially stable (which I didn't manage anyway) and struggling every day of my life
