I’ll shed some light on the nature of the harassment, they were making fun of one of the mods for being a recovering alcoholic (they literally encouraged that mod to get drunk and kill themselves), they impersonated the mod and acted stupid. They made a lot of spam accounts and posted porn in threads discussing the mod. Many people also harassed me as well in my DMs (porn, death threats, the works). Absolutely inexcusable.
But there is no ethical use of AI.
Let’s be very clear here. dbzer0 is anti intellectual property. We do not support IP laws or arguments here, they and their apologists are seen as liberal garbage here. So any of the arguments about plagarism or “sTEAliNg aRT” are not only invalid arguments here, they are not respected by this community, and people here will laugh at you (and probably ban you) for spouting such liberal nonsense in a leftist space. It is baffling how many people come to dbzer0 with these arguments when it’s written on our front page that we are leftist-anarchist and fundamentally against intellectual proptery.
Arguments about power and water usage are valid concerns if we’re talking about openAI or datacenters. However on dbzer0 people almost exclusively use their own hardware (their own GPUs) or they use computing power from volunteers. That’s to say they use consumer hardware. So the environment arguments don’t work here. Unless you also believe gaming is hurting the environment, and that we should all conserve our computing power.
Me, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com and many others have had these arguments often, and no one has presented any other compelling reasons beyond:
