- farleykr 3y agoWhat word would you use to capture the idea of paying poor people or people in refugee camps a dollar an hour to label explicit content for AI? “The nature of the work often feels like digital servitude—but it's a necessity for earning a livelihood.”

- farleykr 3y agoGoogle search for “slave labor definition”: labor that is coerced and inadequately rewarded, or the people who perform such labor. We can split hairs and debate semantics but that definition fits my use of the phrase.
