Complaining about China or AI stealing jobs under capitalism is like complaining about blood loss from stab wounds killing people when there's a serial killer on the loose.

Glad to see everyone agrees this is
-
funny cos they're crying over stealing what they stole
-
acknowledges this means the weights are actually open sourced (which is how it fuckin should be)
also discussion i've seen elsewhere:
- when considering the energy footprint of chatgpt, also consider the energy footprint of running the internet for 30 years to accumulate all that data they stole. therefore the most ecological option is to extract the weights and then opensource it.
just want to add
-
if the accusations aren't true (still a possibility), oai is probably deliberately buying time/stock recovery by keeping this discussion in the news rather than everyone discussing how much they suck
-
if large entities are going to capture and then open source each others proprietary weights, that may actually be one of the best outcomes for global humanity amidst this "AI" craze
2028: AI Jobs is stealing our Chinese.
Maybe soon Chinese ai will do worldwide revolution
Every year: Capitalists divided the working class against ourselves.
Chinese stealing jobs in 2020? That narrative has been around for at least 40 years!
The yellow peril was around since the turn of the previous century. Chinese people built the railroad, became craftsmen in the west coast and then white people (stop me if you know this one) fucking deported them because they were a danger to society, lazy, criminal, yadda yadda yadda.
Not the women tho, they could stay if they married a white dude.
If you can count on one thing, it's on the US settlers being very violent and very racist.
Since mid 1800s in cali iirc
Sakai dedicates a big portion of Settlers to how asian (mostly Chinese) people built the infrastructure and industry of the west coast, only for white unions to demand their incarceration and deportation
