Employees say they weren’t adequately warned about the brutality of some of the text and images they would be tasked with reviewing, and were offered no or inadequate psychological support. Workers were paid between $1.46 and $3.74 an hour, according to a Sama spokesperson.

    I’m a DevOps engineer. I work with big technology every day. I am very definitively not a Luddite. But the way the capitalists controlling our economy view and want to use AI is harmful to us, the lower and middle classes. I’m not sure which part of my view is so stupid that it enters into psuedoscience, leading me to not even being wrong

              You’re right, I’m not up for having this fucking discussion AGAIN! It’s not performative snark it;s frustration at idiots recycling idiotic comments to support idiotic positions hating on some very interesting technology, and on the off chance there is a real grip they’re blaming the wrong thing.

              Give me an argument worth engaging with and maybe I’ll engage in good faith. That has not happened here

              again

              Do you understand the distinction I’m making here?

                @ReCursing, @Cube6392, @acastcandream - I think there is discussion to be had here, but it’s clear to me that folks are getting a bit too heated to be kind to one another. I completely understand, this is a topic that is complicated and that lots of folks are passionate about. I think it is probably time for everyone involved to disengage from the discussion and cool off. If you have questions or concerns, please direct them to me via DM.

        I could not make it any clearer I think the root cause is capitalism. That you’re putting the focus elsewhere is exhausting

          No I agree. Keep going… Why are you therefore daemonising AI rather than focusing your ire where it belongs?

            I’m not demonizing AI. I’m demonizing OpenAI, the shitty company. I’m demonizing CEOs and publishing executives who think they can pass off an inferior product vomited out by a robot record scratching the entire history of human creativity while we get stuck doing bullshit jobs for Uber, DoorDash, Fiverr, and the rest.

            You think I have a position on AI that I don’t and it’s exhausting repetitively explaining to you that I don’t think AI is the problem, I think capitalism is. What part of what I am saying is not clear? Why do you want to treat me like a moron luddite for something I don’t believe and didn’t say? I’m more and more getting the impression that you and I are on the same page about this but you’re inserting a position onto me I do not hold.

            That’s why I said this is exhausting. In fact you’re exhausting. In fact, I feel like I’m being a jerk and I’m starting to think you’re a jerk
