Some Large German Media Covers Richard Stallman's Talks in Germany Earlier This Week
So the talks are both finished (he gave two) and now the press spreads the message of Richard Stallman to some more people:
Yes, LLM-based chatbots are just "bullshit generators" (as he has long called them). They merely fake an understanding. His full (not edited) talk can be found in this video page. █
Update
There is now a version of the same article in English, published Thursday morning:
Richard Stallman: "Chatbots are Bullshit Generators"
During a presentation at the TU Munich, Richard Stallman advocates not sacrificing free choices on the altar of possible digital conveniences. In front of around 400 spectators, the founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) calls on students to only use and develop free software.
States could not afford to cede their sovereignty to large corporations, Stallman emphasizes to a full lecture hall. “We should fight this. We should ensure that our state institutions remain sovereign.” The city of Munich is not living up to its responsibility for the independence of administration with its departure from free LiMux.
The 72-year-old, who paved the way for GNU/Linux with the free text editor GNU Emacs and the licensing models essential for the “four freedoms” of programming, is currently touring Europe. In Munich, he appeared at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and the Technical University, where a lot of free software is developed for internal use, but proprietary programs like Microsoft 365 are also further promoted.
