I believe the little kids crawling in working machines during the industrial revolution when all of this shit started might disagree
That still goes on, we just mostly moved it away from the Western countries. Mostly.
Get your point, but I was referring to recent history given the context of his statement.
I'd argue that it's still worse now too.. Seeing as we have everything from little kids in Africa foraging heaping dumps of toxic electronics waste from first-world nations and burning it in piles to extract metals - destroying their health and lives in the process - to Palantir AI literally drone-striking children's all-girls primary schools that it mislabels as terrorist targets and wiping out hundreds of children at a time..
I do not accept that cowardly 'it was the AI' excuse to absolve them from their DELIBERATE hits on 100's of schools hospitals and medicine factories in Iran.
The USSA did it decades before AI. Disgusting that these weasels don't even have the guts to admit it
And the USSA population largely doesn't give a fuck about those Iranian or other dead girls.
They are against the war, but their objections are that gas prices are high and risking those brave hero baby killing soldiers lives.
Oh yeah.... Def... definitely doesn't happen any more. Just, uh, don't look anywhere around the world and you can keep believing that...
