This is quite the exposé!
I knew that OpenAI has been using crowd workers for st least the last two years to build instruct-tuning datasets for #ChatGPT. I didn’t know they were also outsourcing violence, hate speech, and sexual abuse labeling to Kenyans for $2/hour.
The work is apparently so traumatic that the outsourcing company, Sama, has cut ties with OpenAI.
Our AI advances are being built on the backs of vulnerable people, and the spoils are going to the wealthy.
@Riedl Sounds like capitalism working as intended.
