youtube commentary on AI is blowing up and that rules i love it lots of thoughtful discourse, but it frustrates me how much my primary problem with AI companies is never addressed? These are tech companies that would NOT EXIST without metric tonnes of uncompensated labor used without consent.

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

Elon Musk suddenly acting like he cares about the toll the coronavirus has had to attack USAID is audacious and should be shut down by any self respecting journalist or reporter on the subject merely by reading his own words barely a few years old back to him.
