"However, if you scoff at the idea that one should have any ethical boundaries at all, and think that there’s no reason to care about the overall utilitarian impact of this technology, that it’s worth using no matter what else it does as long as it makes you 5% better at your job, that’s sociopath behavior."

Good to see more free/open source projects move off the proprietary ai-scraping microsoft github platform to codeberg etc.
I think it's fair to say that projects left behind there aren't really free/open source.. Many aren't able to contribute to projects there for ethical reasons (e.g. microsoft's association with genocide, epstein, extractive LLMs, Trump, ICE etc), and github now exists to strip software of free/open source licenses.

Happy to see resolution for this case of anti-health, anti-vax, quackery and grifting.
I believe most farmers are ethical and understand that disease within their flocks and herds can and do cause disease in other domestic and wild populations and those diseases are often what causes pandemics in humans.
Avian flu is a danger. Millions of birds have died because of it, and have been culled on other farms to try to control it.
Ostriches are no different.

"Humanity faces an acute crisis. It is not only a political and technological crisis, but an ethical and theological/religious crisis.

A lot of people will call shunning Amazon, Meta, etc "purity politics". According to them, since no company is perfect, we should just give up having lines, since there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Alternatively, it can be seen as exercising whatever little direct power we have, as individuals, to stop funding the machines that are killing us and making us poorer. It's not enough, but it's certainly a start.
