I love that the people who push this kind of rhetoric often consider themselves left wing, it's just so silly.

'every word you ever utter must be considered private property and no other human may benefit from it without payments!'

I mean yes I know you're going to say socialism is about workers getting fair pay but come on, this is just pure rent seeking. We're a global community of people, if this comment helps train an ai that can help other people better live their lives, better access medicine and education or other services then I think that's a wonderful thing.

And yes of course it should be open source and free to all people, that's why these pushes to make sure only corporations can afford ai are so infuriating

So true.

This talking point, too, is so infuriatingly silly:

I mean yes I know you’re going to say socialism is about workers getting fair pay

Workers, by definition, don't own what they produce. Copyrights are intellectual property; business capital. Somehow, capitalists are workers in the minds of these people. This is your mind on trickle-down economics.
