THIS motivated the "current largest labor action in USA"? Not the countless other reasons but THIS?
US petty burgies at Sigliberalism are apparently mad their comission-fueled comfortable life are being endangered and are trying to twist Marx to defend it. Also they suddenly started to love IP and cry crocodile tears about poor artists being ripped.
Also lol the donwnvotes in this thread are something entirely else, guy just shared his (admittely non-40k style) pics and every positivity for him is being dogpiled.
Ai does not just affect Americans.
Here's a petition from Latin American artists.
A summit for Latin American artists, EU, Japan, SE Asia.
And anecdotally, I've heard from artists in other countries too. How it's affecting them and their workplace/livelihoods. So it's not just Americans complaining, AI will probably screw over the global south more than the global north.
