How does the FOSS bro to AI bro pipeline work even though LLMs are the biggest and most inefficient black boxes compared to traditional proprietary software? This is my guess.

For many people software freedom was never about liberation but only about control. LLMs provide an interface that takes any input and does what they think they want, giving them the ultimate feeling of control.

This is something they can micromanage the shit out of, which they usually cannot get away with when collaborating with humans.

Combine that with a high dose of privilege and they can justify using "just a tool" "responsibly" while supporting technofascism and accelerating climate collapse.
