The "Modern Day Slaves" Of The AI Tech World

[borosp1]

This was an Interesting documentary behind some of the humans who do tasks that power AI or image moderators outsourced by Facebook in the IT economy getting paid pennies on the dollar. The first company reviewed (Figure Eight was acquired by Appen) owned by Lukas Biewald, a classic sociopath where he did the fake cheery voice when it was softball questions about AI and then when questions got to about labor exploitation he suddenly showed his true self and ended the interview. Paying those people in the 'Ghost Jobs' who help his company provide its customers better optimization of search engines paying those who do those tasks pennies while the owner rakes in millions.. Not clear how this grey area gets around NOT paying minimum wage as a independent contract employee in the US.

In 2027, virtual assistants like Sarah seamlessly handle our daily tasks, making life appear effortless. But behind this technological marvel lies a hidden reality. This documentary unveils the untold story of the ghost workers who power our digital world, performing the tedious and often traumatic tasks that machines can't handle. Meet the invisible workforce behind tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Uber. These underpaid and disposable workers label images, moderate content, and train AI systems, often earning less than minimum wage. Their work is essential yet remains in the shadows, unacknowledged by the companies that depend on them.

More GIGO, I see.

This is one reason why I want to see the entire world reach the level of a developed economy. So tired of seeing desperate people taken advantage of for billionaires to get richer.
