I just want to be able to decide where when and how I use particular tools. I don't think 'left leaning' has anything to do with it, and I find this a weird connection to make.
If it serves as proof that that is not relevant I am purely thinking about this in a professional context, not in a private one.

Calm down with taking the rhetoric to 11, and don't project some sort of simple left/right numberline on this.
Sometimes a little personal experience-based clearly anecdotal talk is okay. Hacker News isn’t some scientific journal, and yes, I too know one leftie in my circle that hates AI models and zero right wingers who feel that way… Do you have any anecdotal evidence to the contrary?
