This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.
OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.
And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.
in the new year i’m cannibalising any non aussie who makes a “australia was founded by criminals” joke who can’t tell me what year the convict system started and ended and what percentage of those people were below the age of 18
”australia was founded by criminals”
- australia is host to the world’s oldest surviving cultures, who were here long before australia was “founded”
- the criminals didn’t find australia. colonists and explorers from the british upper class did
- the criminals were penal slaves. and 80% of them received this fate for petty crimes. 33,000 of them were below the age of 20. children were forced to travel with their convict parents on disease ridden boats, torn from their parents and institutionalised into orphanages upon arrival
- there were literally people already here
sometimes people on here talk about "accountability" in a way that shows they think that the person they've decided is in the wrong can't actually do anything to redeem themselves other than like. suicide.
Things Accountability IS:
- Apologising for the harm that you've caused.
- Trying to change your behaviour.
- Accepting that not everyone will forgive you and they don't have to.
Things Accountability ISN'T:
- Wallowing in your guilt until you think of yourself as nothing but bad.
- Accepting an overly distressing punishment for your actions.
- Twisting yourself into knots to make sure everyone knows how disgusted you are by yourself.
Other people can't move on if you never do.

i am once again reminding y'all that agab is literally just a letter a doctor wrote down on a fancy piece of paper when you were 2 seconds old. it does not dictate your gender or hormones or gender or physical appearance or chromosomes or anything. it is a Letter On A Paper. there is no such thing as "an afab" or "an amab". there is no such thing as "afab genitals" or "amab genitals". Stop it.
