Workers say some of the projects for Meta and OpenAI also caused them mental harm. Wambalo was assigned to train AI to recognize and weed out pornography, hate speech and excessive violence from social media. He had to sift through the worst of the worst content online for hours on end.

The familiar narrative is that artificial intelligence will take away human jobs, but right now it's also creating jobs. There's a growing global workforce of millions toiling to make AI run smoothly. It's gruntwork that needs to be done accurately and fast. To do it cheaply, the work is often farmed out to developing countries like Kenya.

Mechanical Turk bullshit is the future, folks.

Regular Amazon MTurk is already terrible, I cant imagine mainlining csam, cartel videos, etc for pennies just to train an AI to replace me in a couple of years

You'll never really get replaced. You'll just get told your labor isn't worth as much anymore. The only real way to get ahead is to call your employers' bluff.
