Yes they are, that's what borders are: rent-seeking in the labor market.
- ajmurmann 4y agoI'm 100% in favor of open borders. However, what can OpenAI do about that?
- falcolas 4y agoNot exploit closed borders. Everybody here is acting like they had no choice but to employ Kenyan workers specifically.
- ajmurmann 4y agoIf there Kenyan workers would prefer not to have this job, they would quit. This is clearly a win/win for OpenAI and the Kenyan workers.
- guerrilla 4y agoI was just responding to the specific claim, but I think what they could do is pay as if they weren't leveraging borders to decrease wages. I'd rather solve the problem at the root than require such exceptionalism from them though, as that doesn't really seem scalable.
