AI exec: We may have pulled off “the largest theft of labor in human history.”
(www.motherjones.com)
i was downvoted recently because i said the ai issue is not about copyright, but labour. a lot of people parrot what seem nintendo talking points just because of ai but the issue is not that they used content without attribution, but about the expropriation of labour this is connected with. deepseek also infringed copyrights to train their models, but theirs is open source, so that labour theft becomes released to the masses. on the other side, western companies infringe copyrights and lock their software.
