Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Given how stupid AI is, this comment can be interpreted as incredibly racist.

Wasn’t there the case of that “AI startup” that was literally just outsourcing to a call centre in India? Literally Actually Indians

No I'm commenting on the African labour that has gone into the annotation of the training data used to train on LLMs, and also on the use of Indian labour to babysit these systems with mechanical turks, etc.

If the ai around us if half as decent as it is right now it's cause of their unappreciated and under paid labour.
