It is joked that“AI” stands for “absent Indians”
i tried to run an llm locally and as soon as i hit download hundreds of thousands of indian and pakastani people started spewing out of my computer
I hope you’re being ironic with the meme and not because you think AI isn’t based mostly on human labor theft and data
i hope youre not a nazi
me too
Nigeria too (aka the reason ChatGPT likes saying “delve”)
Huh, that’s kind of neat. Nigerian workers feed ChatGPT business articles written by Nigerian English speakers and as a result GPT adopts some Nigerian business English speech patterns.
Of course, that means whenever ChatGPT says “delve” I’m going to read it the same way as seeing “synergy” or “disruptor,” aka, with hostile intent against the speaker.
Can anyone explain to me
Amazon had their walk in walk out stores.
AI was meant to track what you put in the basket and charge you without you going through checkout.
They launched as an AI store.
Humans were looking at cases and were just meant to be “error correction”.
They were doing 80% of the work of tracking the images and barcodes into actual products.
Amazon closed the store.
Lots of “AI” systems are currently in this state. A computer can do the easy 10 to 20% of the job. Humans are doing the rest.
Venture capital are just investing in anything that looks like it’s working on “AI”. Even when it’s currently taking more human labour than the work did previously.
Companies are launching now as “AI” gambling on getting that percentage up otherwise they end up late to market. Lots will fail to actually use AI and probably fold.
If they’re underpaid, why do they take the job?
You are assuming they have the luxury of getting a higher paying job. This requires two things
- Higher paying jobs exist and are available to them
- They can afford to not work until they land one of these jobs.
The first only works if there is a strong economy and employers are not cooperating to set a low “market price” which they have a strong incentive to do
The second only works if there is again a strong economy allowing for savings AND a strong social safety net / welfare system giving the freedom to not make a desperate choice of employment
Im gonna be real with you if this stuff had not occurred to you before now you should just stop having opinions on things.
Why do the poor not just make more money are they stupid?
So you don’t have an answer, just snark. Even in the US, companies pay different rates based on the local cost of living. Where are your posts crying about that?
You are dumb. Why would someone choose to work 3 jobs instead of one well paying Job? You are ignoring basic economics and basic survival
More snark, still no answers. Got it. I mean it’s okay to rage against the machine. But at some point you should try to learn how to actually defend your stance.
Or you should do the tiniest bit of thought on why people may not have the choice in “just getting a better job” or even the smallest bit of research will find you a plethora of answers to your question.
Have you heard of capitalism?
