I do like your libertarian line of reasoning. If the law doesn't work very well, it should be abolished. I've seen people say the same thing about the EPA and OSHA.
The difference is, even if it worked properly I would still not be in favour of denying people freedom to use cultural works.
Of course you believe corporations are people.
Are you a professional at making shit up?
I'm an anarchist, I don't believe in companies existing at all.
I referred to OpenAI and you shot back "people."
But hey, if a joke finally got you to start reading the stuff I was writing...
Because the focus is on people, I don’t care if it benefits a company secondarily.
Except it's harming people.
And you have the system that judges peoples worth by the number in their bank accounts and the amount of things they own to thank for that.
So you don't dispute that corporations are going to hurt people if your ideology was implemented.
I think we can stop the conversation right there, actually. Gross.
“Unless you’re going to instantly change the system, I’m going to advocate for perpetuating it”
Cool! You do you bud.
You are advocating for putting on scuba gear after diving deep into the ocean, because you think it might be a little inconvenient for someone to waddle around on a dock with it.
Taking away worker protections before ensuring it won't immediately be abused by giant corporations means that you are taking the side of the giant corporation, and you are equivalent to any other corporate shill. If you don't like that, take steps to improve yourself.
