Why is this an argument if you’re not Russian? Why are people losing their shit over Europe making AI drones (and sending many to Ukraine) and then some European companies joining the fundraising for it? What the fuck is your problem with this, Americans?
Stop listening to propaganda and understand that this IS a good thing. They’re not sponsoring Israel or any other shitty nation, Europe needs to start producing their own weapons and it’s a good thing Europeans are finally doing it. What’s shitty is that suddenly Americans feel like boycotting Swedish company because we want to be able to defend ourselves. Go drink more Trump’s/Putin’s kool-aid
It’s not LLM my dude, chill. AI systems have been in use for military (especially US) for a long time
EDIT: I say this in full seriousness: Sometimes I feel like Lemmy is catastrophically bad in important decision-making. Worse than reddit in fact. This place sometimes remind me if those hippie communities where logic is thrown out of window and everyone preaches happiness and rainbows.
Reality is that some of us live in constant threat of getting attacked/invaded and I could not care less about your opinion towards AI. Not many get the privilege of choosing and protesting. I sometimes wonder if you people deeply want countries like Russia, Israel and China winning because your arguments perfectly play in their hands. “just don’t even think about defending yourselves or I will boycott you with my wallet” go fuck yourselves
You’re missing my point. Not using AI in modern times would be like fighting western weapons with Soviet era weapons. Do you honestly believe EU will use them for malicious purposes?
Maybe OP is overall opposed to military and war. I don’t know, but that would be an argument.
I am opposed to both, but so long as I have a 401k, my money is being contributed to/invested in things I find deplorable, so it’s a little weird to me to pick and choose. Overt shit on unnecessary services like spotify would be an easy place to make a stand, but it’s likely overall unhelpful. Evil gonna evil.
Think about what this implies. Your actions only sabotage (slightly, but still) Europe’s defences, not Russia’s offensive capability. You think we want war? Good luck preventing it without simply deterring the enemy in the first place like how much of the west works. I can assure you Europe is not going to invade Africa (again), or Russia even
THANK YOU! That’s what I was saying aswell. I’ve gotten rid of all my Apple Products and had to find an alternative for apple music. Spotify was the obvious contender since it’s european. The fact they invested in european defence makes me even more happy about my choice.
Now this business with ICE is something else, that I don’t like.

Fuck AI, and especially fuck the militarization of AI. That’s why.

Ah yes,the US military. Famous for being a beacon of morality a shining light for all of us to follow. What could go wrong?

I think you make a sensible point. It was also valid to dislike the greedy billionaire that heads Spotify. But, fuck putintrump for sure.
