Gregory's Server@dgavin Funny, I hadn’t realised trillion-dollar corporations were artists. Then again, I guess it’s called being a con artist for a reason.

 @dgavin Undercomplex – is that anything like simple? Because trillion-dollar corporations and billionaires doing whatever they like with the labour of others is a very simple concept and that’s exactly what’s happening here. @aral 1st no plural: there is only one trillion dollar company in the world profiting from AI trained on stolen IP: Microsoft. And I dislike them as much as anyone else. |
@aral since the 17th century "artists" is used for "one skilled in any art or craft" (including professors, surgeons, craftsmen, cooks).
I‘d argue that software engineers are artists too. AI models are not created by some abstract "trillion dollar companies" but by humans. Your class struggle rethoric is undercomplex and not helpful here (and I‘m saying this as a left social democrat).
