And we only had to alienate millions of people from their labor to do it.

And we only had to alienate millions of people from their labor to do it.
- DennisAleynikov 3y agoYeah, sadly those millions of people don’t matter in the grand scheme of things and were never going to profit off their work long term
- r3trohack3r 3y agoWhat a bummer of a thing to say. Those millions/billions of people matter a great deal.
- DennisAleynikov 3y agoThey matter but not under the current system. Artists are a rarely paid profession, and there are professional artists out there but there’s now a huge amount of people that will never contact an artist for work that used to only be human powered. It’s not personal for me. I understand that desire to resist the inevitable but it’s here now. For what it’s worth I never use midjourney or dalle or any of the commercial closed systems that steal from artists but I know I can’t stop the masses from going there and inputting “give me pretty picture in style x”
- __loam 3y agoResistance is important imo. If this happens and we, who work in this industry, say nothing, what good are we. It's only inevitable if it's socially acceptable.

- mensetmanusman 3y agoIs this utilitarianism?
- r3trohack3r 3y agoAbsolutely agree we should allow people to accumulate equity through effective allocation of their labor. And I also agree that we shouldn’t build systems that alienate people from that accumulated equity.
