Would you be happier if we were exploiting Eastern Europeans instead?

This is a false dichotomy, gross exploitation does not need to present.

There are levels of gray between no AI and exploit poor countries.

All of the AI companies are extremely well capitalised and can afford to be better.

If training AI requires exploitation, we should simply not train AI.

This couldn’t happen because of minimum wages. And yes I would be happy if white people would stop colonizing every piece of land and people they can find to fiddle with their little capitalist toys.

May I suggest reading a history book on the Muslim conquest of the Balkans and Iberia? If not for Muslim colonialism Spain and Austria would have never had to become world powers to survive.

I suspect the answer is yes.
