    But we’re not “killing” every person who benefits, literally or figuratively. We’re continuing to buy their diamonds (pay them in money and data) while they continue to mine (train new models, use copyrighted material).

      Agreed.

      But the entire point I’m making is there’s nothing wrong with the diamonds, the problem is with the method and the people profiting from it.

      You were saying the diamonds were not fine by dint of origin. I’m saying let’s right the wrong and then use the diamonds.

        Okay, so again, no new machine learning ever, unless you can prove it’s done without environmental impact or affecting peoples’ right to a dignified existence. That’s the wrong righted. That’s what you’re advocating for. am I misunderstanding?
