Huh, I wonder where all the “keep politics out of technology” people are on this one.
I wonder if they even realize this is politics.

“Politics” refers to the processes and activities that groups of people use to make shared decisions about the distribution of power and resources. When a company prioritizes a specific political party, that’s politics. When a company chooses to harm or to protect a specific subgroup of society, that’s politics. When a company decides to fund or eschew a specific technology, that’s politics. And when an multibillion dollar AI vendor decides to give their technology free reign to plagiarize people’s work en masse and scramble entire job markets, but then decides to crack down on that technology when it infringes on •company’s• work and scrambles •product• markets…that too is politics. 2/
