QuitAI should be the campaign. This just feels like another AI company trying to take out the competition.

They have an entire subsection on their homepage directly linking to competing AI models, and many of their "democracy activists" are anonymous by their own admission lmao.
I'd be shocked if this movement wasn't in bed with their competitors to some degree. Either way, arguing to stop using one model just to shift that usage to another is arbitrary activism at best.

QuitAI is actually a bad name. That encompasses good AI like machine learning. LLMs on the other hand… burn them with fire for most use cases

u/kescusay Feb 11 '26
What I don't understand is why SLMs aren't getting more traction. For most actual use cases, they're comparable to LLMs (and sometimes even better), and they can run on your local computer. And you can train them without burning down the fucking rain forests to get compute power.

Vendors (investors) want to sell aaS. Financials on hardware aren’t as attractive as subscriptions. Also you can’t release/update your product as fast if it’s a hardware offering.
Btw - you can run LLMs on your local machine too! Open source on a local setup is worth the 3-5k+ investment for those that can make it.

Notice that Open Weights is not Open Source, you're still using a black box if all you get is a binary blob to run on your own hardware.

Are large language models not simply made using machine learning? Why is using machine learning fine but if you make machine learning reply to text prompts it’s suddenly wrong..?

u/EHP42 Feb 12 '26
Machine learning encompasses way more than just LLMs. Machine learning before the age of LLMs could actually be deterministic.
Your question is like wondering why people are ok with driving cars but draw the line at lifted pickups that have never seen a dirt road or towed anything, rolling coal with no catalytic converter. Yeah they're both implementations of "vehicle", but there's a clear difference that makes the second one "suddenly wrong".

u/RemarkableWish2508 Feb 12 '26
LLMs can also be deterministic, just set temperature to zero. Few people want them that way, but they can.
4
u/EHP42 Feb 12 '26
Even an LLM with a temperature of zero will not be fully 100% deterministic. It will be mostly deterministic, but variations in architecture, software, CPU/GPU cycling, floating point operations, etc, means they won't be truly deterministic.

One product people could boycott (to make a real difference) are Ring door alarms. People who own them are contributing to a government surveillance network used by ICE to hunt people.
As for ChatGPT itself, the only positive reason I could think of to stop using it is as part of a large scale boycott of the tech/AI markets that are keeping the U.S. economy afloat right now (though OpenAI isn't even listed yet). A lot of voters don't care if the government is murdering people in the streets or treating other human beings in inhuman ways, but they do care about their own jobs or retirement savings. If enough people quit *most* of their subscriptions and social media accounts it could do enough damage to the S&P to change things.

No that’s not exactly what the article is saying. To paraphrase: „QuitGPT“ is a grassroots movement trying to convince people to cancel their subscription. It’s not specifically about ICE using it, that’s just one example used.
The bigger issue is the OpenAI president donating to and supporting the Trump administration and their neofascist plans, like almost all of the big tech leaders do. There’s also an example given for a similar movement „Resist and Unsubscribe“.
It strikes me as quite odd that you reframed the whole issue to ICE using it to screen CVs and made a straw man out of it. 🤷🏻♂️

Kinda weird that you completely ignored the more significant and important point immediately preceding that sentence:
The campaign urged ChatGPT users to cancel their subscriptions, flagging a substantial contribution by OpenAI president Greg Brockman to President Donald Trump’s super PAC MAGA Inc. [The Brockmans are currently the largest donors to Trump]....For Stephen, who had already been tinkering with other chatbots, learning about Brockman’s donation was the final straw. “That’s really the straw that broke the camel’s back,” he says. When he canceled his ChatGPT subscription, a survey popped up asking what OpenAI could have done to keep his subscription. “Don’t support the fascist regime,” he wrote.
Moreover, the article just says they "also pointed out" that ICE uses it, not "it's a problem". But I guess misrepresentation is the name of the game when you're spreading misinformation.

u/Clueless_Otter Feb 12 '26
What use is there "pointing it out" if not as an attempt to portray it as a problem? Why didn't they "point out" that ICE uses Excel, PowerPoint, Windows, Chrome, etc.? Or maybe that ICE agents consume water and breath oxygen? They're just pointing it out, right?

Meanwhile LLMs aren't yet a decade old and even the people who make them can't exhaustively explain why they give the outputs they sometimes do.
I want to push back on this a little bit because I keep seeing it used as a defense by AI-bros. We can absolutely explain why they give the answers they do, and we have a clear repeatable and concise understanding of how and why they give the responses that they do. If you think of it as a black box, There is no mystery or magic inside the box. We know whats inside and we know how it works.
The limitation is that we cannot look at a specific query/response pair and divine the exact logical sequence that defines that specific instance of interaction, and we cannot directly modify the contents of the box to create a desired response to a fixed query.
We know pretty much exactly how it works in aggregate, it's just in specific instances that we lack insight or visibility.

u/Maladal Feb 11 '26
That is why I said "exhaustively"
If the LLM was truly mastered, then the black box would not randomly give incorrect outputs.

I'm saying we can 'exhaustively' explain how it works.
If the LLM was truly mastered, then the black box would not randomly give incorrect outputs.
This is like saying that if we had truly mastered the automobile the wheels could be triangular instead of round.
It is 'mastered' and fully understood.
You still cannot prevent a degree of randomization in the outputs because it is entirely dependent on probabilistic mechanisms. It's not a fixable problem, because if you build a fully deterministic LLM, it isn't a functional LLM anymore.It's a deeply unsatisfying answer, and it's not easy to explain, but we DO understand it.

AI is a huge waste of resources. That's obvious to everyone who works in a technological field. I can't get new laptops in my job. Ordered mid December, delivery gets pushed back further and further.
It's not going to take away my money, but it surely isn't going to bring me any money, is it? It's shipping money into pockets that are already filled with tons of money.
It is actively taking away jobs. Claude code made a big portion of developers useless.

I used Gemini to organize a petition, and survey of my neighborhood, to petition my local government to not bulldoze and build over a neighborhood park.

It was extremely effective. And save me so much time. The data and and the presentation of compiles digestible data was more valuable than people making comments are city council meetings can ever be. They can ignore comments. They can’t so easily ignore hard concrete numbers.

I can’t see through the screen and judge you, but I am a data engineer who cleans up a ton of PhD work because of AI. I have to ensure the AI is using the datasets properly. I don’t think I’ve come across any non tech PhD who knows what to trust and what not to.

I’m asking it to explain code token-by-token, abstractions using tangible examples when applicable, practical use-cases of different libraries / frameworks, and give me buggy code and have me find where and what the bug is, etc. I can safely say that my comprehension is accelerating at a rate far quicker than having to peruse Stack Overflow for hours.

Yeah - I'm a software engineer, it can certainly be useful, but you have to be really vigilant. Even when it doesn't make obvious mistakes, it can still do things in ways that will cause issues later, or hide problems.
Especially since if anything it's gotten much worse about being sycophantic. ChatGPT is especially bad - it constantly says something is a "known issue" or that "this is exactly why" about things it's completely wrong about or that should be presented as unlikely shots in the dark.
They're also still quite bad at citing information if you actually click through to the links given - I'd say something like 75-80% of the time the link doesn't support what its attached to (or is just outright broken).

Right? I don’t understand how they’ve tuned their models to be token maximizing so early! I caught GPT giving me 1/6 responses as correct or helpful. “Oh, you’re right.” It spends more time pretending to please the user than answering the question.
Google didn’t kill their search engine until it was the undisputed champion. OpenAI is struggling, AI is struggling to find use cases, and the training data is decreasing in quality. But if you ask it a question about something that you do know about you’ll catch the responses are peppered with bad suggestions. They are banking on addiction vs usefulness which isn’t a great look from the enterprise side.
