Your example is extreme, of course kenyan labelers contribute a minuscule fraction of value and they would be easily replaced by other workers if needed. Replacing the engineers is harder.

Labelling data is easier (and therefore cheaper) than doing machine learning.

OpenAI often argues for socialism-light, aka today's social democracies that leech on the middle class and favor politicians and the rich elite class.

It doesn't argue for full blown socialism with equal pay for any job. I think the historical proof is just too large to argue otherwise, which is why socialist politicians are going for the UBI alternative.

Same crap, but hey it will totally work this time.
