I think you missed the import bit: "transfer of information from your brain to my brain." Including some third-party necessarily adds more that was not in your brain. So by using an LLM, you are transferring what is in your brain + some sludge that may or may not be useful for the other person's brain.

Alas, the age of slop is inevitable. We must unleash the kraken of slop upon us all! Rejoice, for resistance is futile!

It only took twice electing a mendacious and profoundly dangerous buffoon to bring about the end of American hegemony. Good riddance.

Does putting our own people first look like using immigration officers to kill its own citizens?

Or is that okay because now there will be less brown people here.

It would indeed be surprising to hear people say this if you completely ignore the words and actions of the Epstein class and the overwhelming amount of pain and suffering they afflict on everyone else.

> There is a pretty clear and important difference between a program that does something wrong, and a program that just doesn't do something somebody wants.

Your argument hinges on all parties agreeing on what "wrong" means. Take a step back and consider that parties do not agree on a common definition of "wrong." Does "wrong" mean a gap between the spec and the implementation or a gap between a reasonable user's expectation and the implementation? If one party assert that it is clearly the former and the other party asserts it is clearly the latter, does that make the situation more clear or less clear?

> But as a lifelong American, I've never heard anyone make a negative comment about Mexicans.

What an absurd statement on its face that comes from a place of extreme privilege. I am a brown-skinned man in America and I lost count of all of the times people that look like me have been denigrated and lambasted in this country.

This is exactly how I do it in KDE:

  > cat ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/convertHEIF.desktop 
  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Service
  MimeType=image/heif;
  Actions=convertHEIF

  [Desktop Action convertHEIF]
  Name=Convert to JPEG
  Icon=image-bmp
  Exec=/bin/sh -c "heif-dec -q 95 %u $(dirname %u)/$(basename %u .heic).jpg"
