"OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, and Anthropic did not comment about how many people contribute annotations to their models, how much they are paid, or where in the world they are located. "

AI Is a Lot of Work

How many humans does it take to make tech seem human? Millions to support OpenAI, Google, Meta, and every other major tech company. As AI becomes ubiquitous, a vast tasker underclass is emerging — and not going anywhere.

"“I really am wasting my life here if I made somebody a billionaire and I’m earning a couple of bucks a week.”"

But didn't you hear its not about making them a billionaire. Sam Altman said you're gonna be unbelievably rich any day now.

@timnitGebru Well, longtermism requires that you give up most of your income today to ensure a living wage for 1,000,000,000,000 humans 10,000,000 years from now.

@Timnit Gebru (she/her) That was a very good article. Thank you so much for sharing it.

I wonder how they will deal with things like the example at the end, where AI was used for human training of AI.

@timnitGebru Thus does the other half of @pluralistic 's assertion that "artificial intelligence is neither artificial nor intelligent" finally make sense. The "not intelligent" part was obvious to me given the Azathoth-esque output, but "not artificial" seemed odd given what I'd encountered about older AI training methods.
