    If we had a fair distribution of wealth I wouldn’t care about either of these really.

    Most artists care about attribution/fame somewhat but if they could live comfortably they wouldn’t care about royalties much or others using their art.

    Likewise for AI, automation is an amazing thing for civilization but when it is gatekeeped and used to make the rich richer it’s just exploitation of workers everywhere since they have to work as hard as they did one century ago with, arguably, less buying power.

      A “fair distribution of wealth” isn’t really a thing though. What you likely consider “fair” is most likely “not fair” to high income earners, correct?

        Yes and idfaf. Work as much as you want to. No one gets a second home before everyone has at least one. That’s my position.
