ShanaHey swarm intelligence, I need your help! For an explainer video series for @WikimediaCH , I'm looking for an NPO or otherwise intimate knowledgeable entity around the subject of #clickwork, #datawork and #mechanicalturks that we could interview. Any hints or recommendations? Thank you!!

@rl_dane @nlarson830 #Zuck's #NSAbook are top donors to #Trump, so they'd get away with anything.
- Pretty shure they soon will try to abuse #ConcentrationCamp (#CECOT) inmates as #SlaveLabour for #Clickwork!
After all, the #ForProfitPrisons & #PrisonIndustry in the #USA are well-known to sell labour to corporations cheaper than any callcenter in #India!

"[...] Before the Internet, it would really difficult to find someone, sit them down for 10 minutes and get them to work for you, and then fire them after those 10 munutes.
But with technology, you can actually find them, pay them the tiny amount of money and then get rid of them when you don't need them.[...]"

bs2> .. clickwork shows how economic power relations shaped by precarious work conditions and global economic disparities can be directly transformed into computing power. Indeed, a clickwork platform is a machine that converts economic power differentials into computing power.

@tebicat In fact, #Amazon already did capitalize on this #ClickWork demand and added #GigEconomy on top of it to be extra greedy, value-removing rentseekers in the equation...
It's part of their #aws suite!
Cory DoctorowMany "open" models merge these datasets with other, proprietary sets, in varying (and secret) proportions.
Quality filtering and labeling for training data is incredibly expensive and labor-intensive, and involves some of the most exploitative and traumatizing #clickwork in the world, as poorly paid workers in the Global South make pennies for reviewing data that includes graphic violence, rape, and gore.

Brazil’s online gig workers, who power features like social media moderation and AI #Training, are increasingly wary of newcomers.
"Brazilian clickworkers make a living doing small online tasks but pay has dwindled in recent years.
Many now hope that training #GenerativeAI will create a renewed demand for their work. They have become hostile to newer workers, who they feel encroach on these gigs.
[...]
“Remuneration on these platforms has progressively fallen in the past years, especially after the pandemic,” Braz told #RestOfWorld Projects that used to pay $10 an hour a decade ago are now offered for $3.50, she said.
Even though there is no hard evidence proving that an excess of labor is the reason rates have gone down, seasoned turkers are not taking any chances and are increasingly excluding novices from microwork forums."
