I feel like we don't talk enough about how the human workers whose labor on data labeling produces the much-vaunted model improvements *describe their labor conditions as slavery.*

Software that is dependent upon slave labor cannot be Free software. I'm not talking about the Open Source™️ Definition®️, I know what the four freedoms are; but #LLM-containing software cannot be Free software. Clear?
