Another side of AI … https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/28/scale-ai-remotasks-philippines-artificial-intelligence

We’ve been interviewing some of these taskers for a while now, it is a very dark side indeed. Another good read on this topic is: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-humans-technol[…]siness-factory.html?utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=nym&utm_source=tw

is scale AI aware of this or really have any control over this? Washington Post is paywalled, which seems a bit ironic given that their tag line is "Democracy Dies in Darkness" lol

haha well scale AI’s data labeling company is doing all this. There’s been 2 articles like these already diving deep into the behind the scenes. They are very much in control and this is a business choice for them, based on what insiders are sharing. They also tried to hide the fact that they are behind that company. Based on my convos with a few contacts in Africa and an ex-scale ai employee, that’s why they lost local bpo contracts and a few data labeling groups they were using there.

That's quite sad to hear
