Until when? The only way to avoid societal impact of AI is to either stop it for decades until we reach some utopia UBI state or lobotomize current generative AI to a point where it's useless.

Biggest issue is the first one. Dataset copyrights are where most of the fight b/w regulators, AI companies & artists is happening.

Should you be able to train your model on an image or text someone uploaded on the internet without buying the copyright? If no, then most of current LLMs & stable diffusion models will have to go & I don't see big tech allowing it.

The Cisco case was dismissed as false recently. The person was found not guilty of any caste based discrimination. Caste issue in America is mostly made up. Indians who have money to go from India to US don't care about castes in the first place

In the US, caste is mostly a made up issue. Most 95% Indian Americans are upper caste or rich land owning OBCs (like the professor who wrote this blog). Who exactly are they discriminating against then?

Lot of grifters like Equality Labs have made this issue in US bigger than it seems. Most Indian American kids probably don't even know their own caste.

The point is no one is discriminating against Jaats, the group the professor belongs to. They are one of the richest & powerful groups in India. The blog is very misleading since caste based discrimination against Jatts is unheard of.

In fact the group the professor belongs to is responsible for 80% of caste based discriminations that happen in India.

> Caste problems continue in the US

The thread is filled with white progressives who know nothing about caste. There are what 2 cases of caste discrimination in US companies. In one of the cases (the famous Cisco) case was proven there was no discrimination.

The professor who wrote this blog is literally a Jatt. A land owning caste & one of the most powerful castes in India. Any Indian reading this blog will know this is BS. I would understand if the author was at least Dalit or ST.
