In Green Christian we're limbering up to a conversation about so-called AI with reference mainly to environmental concerns. However, we are also wanting to take note of other issues. This seems to be one. It's a kind of Fairtrade issue: properly costing in the labour as well as the environmental 'externalities' and the part LLMs etc play in rentier -focused capitalism funding democratic erosion and the rise of neo-feudalism.
It'd be interesting to hear your angle on any or all of this.
