It's not labour, it's computation - he didn't do a thing, so you can't say he's enslaved, and even if we called it labour, it's not his labour.
I never said he was enslaved, what the fuck? And I also never said the content generated by the AI was his labor, I said BASED on his labor.
Reading comprehension is difficult I know, keep working at it.
Go back up to the top of this message chain. It's all in response to a comment that said:
And I responded calling this use of the term "slavery" ridiculous. A slave is a person who is being treated as property. There is no person here, George Carlin is dead and the AI impersonating him is not a person. So there is no slave, which means there is no slavery.
Respond to the person using the term, not me.
I'm explaining why the conversation that you joined is about slavery. You were confused about why that was the topic so I'm pointing out that it was the topic before you joined. You should probably read the upstream comments when you join a conversation in progress to find out what is going on.
And I didn’t drive the conversation to the term nor restate it myself. I’m not confused at all, you can try and misguide someone else if you must insist on that. You came up implying I used the term and can cease your nonsense. If you have issue with a term, address the person using said term. Everyone in a conversation aren’t a hive mind which is why I asked and continue to ask that you respond directly to the person using rhetoric that you have issue with.
You didn't drive the conversation to the term because it was already there. That's what it was about when you joined in.
If you don't want to talk about "digital slavery" then don't join a conversation about it.
I added something else in my comment, not everything downstream has to be about supporting the same ideas and rhetoric. There’s this thing in conversation where each person contributes from different angles and relevant commentary.
Unlike verbal conversation, you can have multiple people commenting directly to the top person. I won’t sit and explain how comment threads work but you can go to the comment you’re mad about instead of the latest person down the line.
Wonders of technology.
You were saying something about labor, which had been brought up as part of some kind of justification of this being "slavery". Pons_Aelius wrote:
So all this "labor" stuff you jumped in on was indeed part of the slavery discussion. People were arguing about whether this was somehow extracting labor from George Carlin against his will, despite him having been dead for over a decade. When people continued discussing the slavery issue, you responded:
Which suggested you had no idea what had happened in the earlier part of the conversation leading to this point. I tried to explain it to you.
At this point I have no idea what else you're trying to argue. I've given you as full a recounting as I can, if you're still confused about what's going on you're on your own.
You read way too much into my original comment, and decided to make an entire tangent about it. All I said is that the new stuff was trained by his old work, implying at most that the estate should be given a percentage.
If you wanted clarification on that you could’ve asked instead of putting terms in my mouth.
The original comment was two sentences long. There wasn't much else to read in there.
Was it me? No? Ask them.
Then who is enslaved?
who used the term?
