I wonder if executives of companies using mturk-like humans to moderate/classify vile content should be compelled to do the same moderation/classification work themselves for an hour a month. Of course it’s highly unlikely to actually compel them to do this through legislation, but it’s an interesting thought.
- mcpackieh 3y agoSounds like a good way to wash out the executives who aren't psychopaths, while those who are would pass with flying colors.
- version_five 3y agoWhat would this achieve?
- capableweb 3y agoThat has about as high success rate to go through as forcing various CEOs/owners of companies to do the "lowest" work in their company.
- letmevoteplease 3y agoReal imagery is one thing but it's hard for me to imagine being traumatized by classifying fictional content, especially text. Getting paid only a few dollars an hour might be painful, though.
- capableweb 3y agoWho knows what kind of texts people share though. Granted, you should not be a content moderator if you don't hold the same view as you expressed above, but I have a feeling a lot of these people weren't prepared at all for what people shared with OpenAI, and just got the job for the (relatively) high pay. But humans can be fucking terrible beings. I could imagine they shared all types of content they had no idea would be read by another human, like confessions of past events and such.
- frandroid 3y agoSure, but the CEOs are already psychopaths, so they would say "see, I can do this sick work too, get back to it!!"
