A "Tech Journalist" Would Not Cover Vote on LLMs as a Sex Issue
In 2020 (see photo) Tux Machines looked bloated, was slow, but its tone and style were the same. Microsoft Lunduke, on the other hand, gravitated towards lunacy.
In 2020 I wrote about Microsoft Lunduke, aka Looney Lunduke. Things have not improved since then, he has only gotten and is still getting more radical.
For instance, instead of talking about technical and legal aspects of LLM slop, this is how he covers Debian's current GR:
For a moment there you have to pause and wonder, is this a "Tech Journalist" or the Daily Stormer?
Hey, Lunduke, the virus killed too many braincells inside your head.
In case it's not obvious from the above (which we won't repeat in textual form), Looney Lunduke has chosen not to focus on the slop question in Debian but instead obsess over sex, gender, and other side issues. He talks about Bicha voting, not about several Microsoft employees voting. The voters work for slop (plagiarism) companies. That's a big problem right there - an undeclared conflict of interest.
He's peddling rather far-right politics under the guise of "TECH JOURNALISM" (a term he himself uses to refer to his output) and the consequence is - for all of us who politely and diplomatically express concerns - is stigmatisation. They will censor or excuse away the "anti-AI"* voices, dismissing them collectively as fanatical right wingers who make it about politics and hateful stuff, not the technical and legal aspects. We've seen the same in Rust. █

* Linus Torvalds recently recycled this horrible term/smear. Shame on him for not making the correct classification (he knows it's not about "AI", it's about LLMs, and he's still mostly ignoring the profound harms). By using terms like "anti-AI" he becomes one with GAFAM-sponsored - or GAFAM-owned - "Establishment" media that demonises critics of monopolies (and portraying "anti-DCs" people as cranks who hate Data Centres (DCs) for no good reason when they actually fight: 1) climate change 2) against economic collapse).
