Interesting moral question here:

Given the huge problems are power consumption, morals behind training data and blind trust in AI slop, do you think there is a window of acceptable usage for LLMs as locally run (on existing hardware) coding assistant (not executive tool that does it for you) to help with work on FOSS projects (giving back to where it has taken from) with no money flowing to any company (therefore not bolstering that commercial ecosystem)? While this obviously doesn't address the energy consumption during training, it may alleviates moral issues to the point people start to think about it as acceptable tool.

To make it abundantly clear, this is neither about "vibe coding" where it does code for you badly, and definitely not about any other bullshit like generative "art". It's about the question of humble, educated use of a potential useful tool in a way it might be morally acceptable.

To me the leaf must mean that we toke and code, instead of code using AI tokens.

So it segfaults after one whole second instead of immediately?
