      Extremely low paid Africans have been a vital part of the process to creating LLMs. Someone’s got to manually sift through the scraped training dataset to make sure that it doesn’t contain CSAM or NSFL.

        Yeah it’s fucking horrible… Also even if these jobs were well paying jobs, they are soul sucking. What we are trading off is not worth it

        You think most of these companies are bothering to do that? Seriously? Even after the recent Grok CSAM generation stuff?

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

        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.
