Whenever I hear “but how can the police be racist if there are so many black officers?!” I think of this line from NWA:

But don’t let it be a black and a white one

’Cause they’ll slam ya down to the street top

Black police showing out for the white cop

One more thing: if you want to use public data, your AI needs to be open source (not just the software around it, the actual models that do the AI stuff needs to be available for anyone to run on their own system) and all the works generated with it public domain. The public owns your AI at that point. Personally, if you don’t want to pay me, then let me have a stake in the AI my data helped create.

Peel back the veneer of AI and you find the foundation of stolen training data it’s built on. They are stealing from the very content creators they aim to replace.

Torrent a movie? You can potentially go to jail. Scrape the entire internet for content and sell it as a shitty LLM or art generator? That’s just an innovative AI startup which is doing soooooo much good for humanity.

US: Funds cartels which increases the illegal drug trade in their own country

Also US: Hands out ridiculously heavy sentences for simple possession and use of drugs

Also US: Uses the private prison system to profit off prisoners by essentially selling them as slave labour

Also US: Actively makes the lives of ex cons hell with little prospect for reintegration into society which only makes them more likely to turn back to crime and end up right back in a private prison

Pretty genius if you ask me /s

Honestly? I never installed it but I just assumed they just siphoned off your browsing data to sell. This is somehow even worse. Like this is outright fraud.
