No, our government isn’t forcing us to work more only to pay like 5 rich Greeks’ German loan interest, it’s also to pay for submarines and warships that protect USA war interests, Israeli bombing, drone production, and data centre interests, American and British private college interests, and Greek Parliament literal serial criminals’ interests. (Interest pun intended)
In all seriousness, any such AI deal, makes a lot of sense as a “Mr. Open AI, you give us data control and a hefty bonus, and we give you some of these workers’ money that we collected, everyone wins.”
That would make more sense if Greece and OpenAI weren’t competing for “most money borrowed without a real plan.” I didn’t see in the article who was paying for it (maybe a comprehension fail on my end) but I suppose it doesn’t really matter because both OpenAI and Greece carry hundreds of billions in debt.
Just a little nitpick, the whole “Money borrowed with no plan” story is soft victim-blaming propaganda.
A considerable part of the debt came from literally before the nation was free from occupation (for the war effort itself), and very little reached the citizens. An extremely small percentage of the country, surrounding the interests of a group of like 5 families, has gotten the crushing lion’s share of borrowed money, directly to pocket or to their private investments, while paying it off is “democratized”.
I can be too flippant sometimes. Some might even call me glib. Thank you for your correction and your perspective.
Your point is well taken. The people of Greece are not to blame for the national debt; I already knew that. What I didn’t know is that there totally was a plan, which was to run up the tab and stick you with the bill! Now why does that sound so familiar…?
No need to apologize, you just mentioning those things, is a good chance to get some info out about them, and you still talked about the issue in good context.
You were essentially correct, you just used words that, rich fucks with disproportionally more power than you, have intentionally popularized for their benefit.
Isn’t Greece still doing hella austerity because they owe Germany money or is this my America showing
As far as I remember Greece owns money to everyone and their government force people to work more to pay interest. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgjd76pw79do
At least they paid the IMF mafia.

This ai deal sounds like a gross misappropriation of public funds then. There must be context I’m missing, this just sounds stupid.
OpenAI just follows Microsoft path - offer AI for free to children so they get addicted and demand it when they will be looking for work.

I guess from the OpenAI standpoint they can just give it for free so they have the point to push their agenda in other countries.
