Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

Out of many more ethical models out there, why go with that one specifically?

Because it is the better tool in the usecase that he is engaging with.

You’re setting up an impossible standard, one that you don’t follow yourself.

You know that Social Media is used to spread propaganda throughout the world, leading to hate crimes, genocides, wars, sexual exploitation etc. You’re still using social media. There are many more ethical ways to talk to people, why go with social media specifically?

All you’ve discovered is that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. You can take anything that a person does and trace the supply chain to find examples of wholly immoral behavior. Unless you plan on living in a cave, you’re going to appear like a hypocrite at the very least if you start picking apart the choices of others under that lens.

I wish you had addressed the first two paragraphs I wrote, as I feel they’re a bit more relevant and tie into the developer’s chosen behavior more than his choice of an AI helper.

You’re setting up an impossible standard, one that you don’t follow yourself. What is the standard?

You know that Social Media is used to spread propaganda throughout the world, leading to hate crimes, genocides, wars, >sexual exploitation etc. You’re still using social media. There are many more ethical ways to talk to people, why go with >social media specifically? Many platforms make active efforts to suppress the propaganda. But I concede that people do have the need to choose a platform that reaches the widest possible audience, especially if it concerns a project that needs broader attention.

But an LLM isn’t this. An LLM isn’t a platform. It’s a utility tool. One for creation. A previous commenter pointed out that the developer tried to pick a model that isn’t helping the military. So this should show the developer has an ethical stance. Maybe this happened before Anthropic began aiding the military.

I wonder if his choice has been or if it will be changed.
