I bet *all* the AI products are just drones run by poor brown and black folks oversees. It’s all tech slavery and outsourcing.
I wonder if the #Tesla FSD is just underpaid oversees chauffeurs driving the car over Wi-Fi. Maybe the crashes happen when there’s lag or a disconnect? It would be giving Ender’s Game if the people driving for us thought they were just playing a game.

It most likely takes hundreds of thousands of people somewhere in India whose full-time job it is to manually curate and correct the output of only one of the major #ai models.

Excuse me, Google. I am not a robot so I am not going to answer your captcha incorrectly.

The Neo Robot is a $20,000 Roomba But Worse
I want someone to make a quick #indie #game where you are the remote operator of a humanoid servant robot and are trying to hide some inevitable accidents from the family. Like whenever you do what you're told, something terrible happens. The hardware malfunctions, you're clumsy like in the goat simulator, then you kill a dog and have to burry it in the backyard. Every day it is going on you level up until the family concludes you are doing robot uprising. The more days you lasted the bigger chance you have when the father of the family takes out a baseball bat and starts beating you up, and you're just a poor guy from a third world country remotely operating the robot. The company is pressing you to defend the company property (the robot body) at all costs. You have to defeat the family.
Bonus points you get to invade the privacy of the family. You can extend your time before the family turns against you by using the informations. Like someone is having an affair, you took the pictures of the lady of the house when she was naked, the kid won't rat you out because he broke something. But that maybe in Fake Servant 2

La licorne d'IA Builder.ai, autrefois valorisée à 1,5 milliard de dollars, a fait passer le travail de développeurs basés en Inde pour l'automatisation d'une IA pendant huit ans. — Mechanical Turk for the win, ou pas...
#request - does anyone know of any panel services that are affordable? I need some survey participants (200 would be lovely) and quick, because of [swear words while thinking of why]. I'm looking into #mechanicalturk but I don't know if I can get this to happen quickly enough; I have one week.
I need young adults, English speaking (native fluency). North American would be fine, but European is great, too. Maybe near East (e.g., India, Pakistan) if the language fluency is there. Region/nation is less important than the age range and the language ability.
I'd be paying for this out of pocket, and I don't have much money, so hoping I can find inexpensive services somewhere (<<$500 USD? Maybe closer to $200? realizing this might not be possible because I've never looked into this until now). Qualtrics has panels but they're far too expensive for me. I'm googling, but asking here first.
