Something about what she said here really got to me. I'm not sure why. It just boils my blood.

Personally, it's people who never had any creative idea that wasn't in a excel spreadsheet to pump the value of vaporware companies into billions having opinions on creative endeavours.

Possibly it angers you because it betrays a contempt for creatives. This is a statement of vindictive jealousy by someone who can't engage their imagination and instead helps build a mechanism to shoddily imitate it for her. Vile, despicable shit.

“Maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place” = “we never wanted to pay for your work, and now that we think we don’t have to, we just can’t WAIT to tell you to go fuck yourselves”

It's just appallingly, unfathomably entitled and nakedly disinterested in the harms she's knowingly perpetrating on the very people who produced the underlying content her service *requires to function*. What a just openly ghoulish thing to say, to publicly say and put your name on.

It shouldn’t surprise me that the very people who say these things would forget that without all the existing human-made artistic ‘content’, they would have no product to sell.

she’s saying the quiet part loudly, exhibiting a brazen disinterest in hiding the contempt for anyone who isn’t in their clique of tech elite.

As a long-time creative professional (graphic design and music), what gets me is the implication that many creative jobs are actually a con, that we’ve been leeching on more “productive” people for far too long. Basically, that we are the welfare queens/lazy moochers of the workplace.

kinda reminds me of how Trump, when asked in 2020 about restaurants going under from COVID, said: "It may not be the same restaurant, it may not be the same ownership, but they’ll all be back." A lot of those struggling restaurants are family businesses, built on years of hard work and sacrifice.

The CTO who claims to be unaware if the world's largest video site is used in training data or not telling others (people who actually make things) that their jobs should have never existing in the first place might be why?

It's snooty, soulless scold language. "The arts aren't real work" is the M.O. of joyless tyrants who'd gleefully shove everyone into austere panopticons to do "real work" under their supervision. They constantly stack rank everyone by their utility. They don't think other humans' dreams are valid.
