Most developers using AI/LLMs use corporate owned LLM's, not local models (and almost certainly never a local model that is trained in a way to not introduce legal plagiarism into a FLOSS project).

Using corporate AI directly helps the financial situations of the big tech companies that host them (by boosting usage/user numbers, they are able to attract more investment capital), most of which are owned by right-wing CEO's who are more than willing to collaborate with and fund fascist governments to ensure that they are not regulated and receive lucritive government contracts. Many of these companies, such as Nvidia, Palantir and Oracle, genuinely appear to be seeking to use these tools for what would previously be considered crackpot conspiracy theory levels of public control and surveillance.

Some of them are owned by fascists but I do agree with you
