I should point out the authors have coined the term digital sweatshops, not to describe a physical workplace, but an apt description of a situation were wages plunge impossibly low and many of the workers don't get paid. At all  @plsburydoughboy suprise as in no surprise :( Weird how people don't see the invisible work behind ML. Like, it's there in the title: if it's learning, it has to learn from something, and who's making the textbooks? @zverik that's not actually what this work is. Rather than makiing the textbooks to teach the AI what to do, the human labor is for filtering out data that AI isn't good at processing In a way it is outsourcing some of AI's thinking, because it's a weakness in the AI's logic that they are compensating for |
Note that I deliberately kept the long URL in the hopes that you won't get gated out
