At least in the case of Honduras, more people clearing paths for transmission lines accelerates the development of infrastructure that the locals can use. On the other hand, OpenAI moderation doesn't do anything for Kenyans. You can see the effect of this is countries that heavily rely on tourism like Thailand and Bali. The smartest and hardest working people end up serving foreigners rather than their domestic population. Places that aren't catered towards tourists are completely neglected.

"On the other hand, OpenAI moderation doesn't do anything for Kenyans."

Have you worked at OpenAI in Kenya?

Because you're speaking in absolutes-- as though you're an authority on the topic.

Let's use basic logic: Working at a technology company by its nature provides:

- Increased experience with Computers

- Increased experience with Data

- Increased experience with Business Processes

- Increased experience with Potential business ideas for startups due to exposure to the business processes of the company and the potential therein for improvement

- Pay

Hahahaa. Well, I can't argue with that. I concur.
