LLMs are built on theft of intellectual property and copyrighted products by capital managers who hoard wealth propped up on stolen wages and exploitation, look in the mirror before you yap on about selective application of morals.
So absolutely none of that has anything to do with people stealing copper from AI data center construction sites.
You can do all the moral finger-pointing you want. The moment you start selectively deciding who is and isn’t a thief is the moment the justice system starts breaking down. You don’t get to decide who can and cannot commit crimes. We already have enough of that in our American political system, considering who our president is.
To address your other point, no copyright infringement has been found to have occurred in the training of flagship AI models. If you’d like to debate that, that’s fine, but I don’t really feel like arguing about it because we’re talking about the morality of theft, which you apparently view as something that exists on a selective gradient. Good for you, sir. Go play Robin Hood in your own neighborhood.
Wealth inequality is one of the worst and most pressing issues in the world today. There is nothing I consider more damaging than the growing wealth gap, especially in America. You’re absolutely right about that. But once again, it has absolutely nothing to do with construction materials being stolen from AI data center construction sites.
Isn’t this exactly what a jury of your peers is intended for? So people - the members of the affected community - can decide who is and isn’t a thief, after ensuring they’re provided with all the facts of the case?
No that’s not how that works at all.
At all.
And if that’s what you think or believe, I highly recommend you go back to remedial social studies class and ask a lot of questions.
It broke down long ago. You care more about copper in a techbro’s plagiarism machine than you do about all the wage theft ever.
No.
You’re stating a position that I never took. I never said I supported AI data centers. My point was about how users on Lemmy are quick to encourage criminal behavior when it targets something they dislike, while condemning the same behavior when it is directed at something they support. That’s called being two-faced.
For the record, I do not support AI data centers. They could all burn down for all I care. If every LLM shut down tomorrow, nothing in my life would change. I consider AI data centers a blight on the environment, and many communities do not want them built in their areas.
I pray to the God I don’t believe in that they don’t build one anywhere near me.
You just handwring about theft from them. But not wage theft.
For one reason.
No. I was talking about the two faced nature of this platform.
I’ve admonished data centers the entire time in this exchange. Don’t tell me what I wrote about. I know what I wrote about.
Wage theft impacts millions of actual humans and you’re whining about the rights you think a corporate owned tool of oppression has instead.
You actually read what I said?
They’re getting built and the objections of the people are ignored.
Rule of law protects the inanimate toys of techbros.
It does not protect human workers.
