If only there was a word for “exploitative sexual behavior with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30.”
Russell Brand admitted to ‘exploitative’ sexual behavior with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30, but claimed it was ‘consensual.’ He currently awaits trial.

The Epstein case reflects systemic issues within the American elite. Despite clear evidence, the perpetrators will probably never be charged. They engage in exploitative practices without consequence.The American oligarchy has amassed its wealth through parasitism

Can we not misuse the term Luddite? The Luddites were not ignorant of technology or against its use. They were against the use of exploitative technology. LLMs are an exploitative technology, so the parallel works, to some extent, just not in the way OP seems to think.
people are getting mad at Hank about this but he’s just objectively correct here; there’s this pseudo-Luddite thing going on where folks insist that LLMs do not have any use cases despite that clearly not being true, particularly with how cheap they are to operate (you can run deepseek on a raspi)
There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?

Capitalism can’t even be non exploitative in theory. Thats the whole basis. The whole basis of the system is exploitation.

This kind of antifeminism is a socialism of fools, wherein working class resentment at exploitative elites is diverted into anger at feminized phantasms, like “HR.”
I do find it funny how many people basically mean “woman in position of power” when they complain about HR.

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.
I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

“Moral maggot” is a legendary and bulls-eye accurate description of the exploitative and predatory behavior of narcissistic personality disordered psychopaths who exist without conscience.
If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, "he's pressing a big bomb to blow himself up. But, he's thoroughly capable of doing it. He's a moral maggot, who has absolutely no capacity for shame, or empathy, or remorse—all he cares about is what he thinks will get him to the next day."

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.
Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.
Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

This is how the Hostile Environment works btw. We've had it in the UK for 13 years. It loves exploitative employers and exploitative employers alone.
Another infuriating aspect of ICE roaming around D.C. that I hadn't thought about.
I just talked to a D.C. woman whose husband is undocumented and whose employer is refusing to pay him for work he's already done -- and threatening to call ICE if he keeps asking for the money he's owed.

it’s kind of scummy to trick someone into doing a fake exploitative tv show that won’t help her career at all when she thought she was signing up for a real exploitative tv show that wouldn’t help her career at all

America has a very, very weird - some might say highly corrupt and exploitative - prison model.
These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️

UnitedHealth CEO was killed 30 days ago on Dec 4. Mangione is on trial for that killing.
Since Dec 4, about 5589 Americans have died preventable deaths under America’s exploitative for profit health system.
So—when do CEOs who enabled these deaths go on trial?

Anyone who does this is scum. It's not just corporations and whatnot that are exploitative of someone's time, efforts, and passion (and in this case, their livelihood); regular people can be too.
This is actually so sad to see.
If you finish a short game that quickly, and enjoy it, you should not be refunding it just because you can.
The developer deserves to earn the money from the sale of this.
