Sigh. https://mastodon.social/@gvwilson/112332180103290815. Another day, another use of American-centric stances to defend the use of gAI without looking at the systematic issues that, if solved, would be cheaper and less exploitative than the current state of gAI. Hire more translators instead of dehumanizing the process by throwing into a machine. Whole conversations on cost can be balanced here. Step back and assess what parts of the process optimize FOR English-speaking and/or English-centricity, instead of aiming to "decolorize" the process. We really need to move away English-centrism (and actually humanize people) in these labor spaces, pull in people who give a fuck and stop thinking that technology is this MAGIC solution that deletes everything else happening in the world (it's really giving PaulG/a16z techno capitalist optimism, and we know where that goes).
