I've long since said the "science" of selling debt is working again man, but often that's what science is for (whether you like it or not - but can make the change by not using so often shops that sell money for debt! #Banks are a root cause of negativity! 🏦 Literally!... )

The Invisible Workers Behind AI:
Exposing Underpaid Tech Labor

https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=SWU7IjSchZw

#AI disposable work AND underpaid people VIDEO

“Meet the invisible workforce behind tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Uber.

These underpaid and disposable workers label images, moderate content, and train the AI systems, only to be dumped later - often earning less than minimum wage (of course similar to 'sweatshops).

Their work is essential to be in the shadows (we don't see them but call it AI). Unacknowledged by companies they also have less rights abroad. Disposable at any time. not exactly reassuring

#Corporations using #AI to ABUSE #human labour or human #data #sweatshops

TLDR; AI uses humans more than ever in the background to "show" / pretend about the tech in front and wow people into investing...

AI is the same - devaluing people even more by using remote people abroad in the background like you would find is #sweatshops (exactly India and similar countries)...

====================
Here's How Tech Companies Are Fooling Us... #AI notes from video:

https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=rX8MPbNPkaU

====================
#Quotes and #Notes
====================

█ Humans are in the background checking things (tech is shown as the wow in front bells and whistles by Indians abroad ( #outsourcing ) and non-western country standards abroad doing laborious and questionable stuff for the "magic" to work.

█ Misleading claims or advert, like self-driving cars when it's someone somewhere else driving it for you.

█ "AI Washing" when companies exaggerate or even falsify claims of their AI technologies to attract investment or attract market advantage (people stupid enough to invest)

█ Hype trickles down to smaller (and more vulnerable) companies who are eager to rife the AI wave.

█ AI in CPU processors ?

█ Gartner Hype Cycle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle

█ More Hype than substance

█ More crashed cars involving AI

█ The notion of creating more jobs than it displaces might be overwhelming false

█ companies leveraging and restructuring whole companies in favour of AI

█ Those who use AI will replace those who don't - favouring AI trained people

█ Big estimates made for millions to change jobs by 2030

█ 12.07 Optimistic projection = hype of AI's "potential" and is almost purely to *pretend* to "create millions of jobs and boost GDP", when the reality is more complex and actually opposite

(since when does any company want to create more jobs more than a hot minute and then cut back?)

█⭐ Raising questions about who benefits and who is left behind. Emptying work itself using AI.

Comments from page:

█ "Humans are emotionally driven."

█ Its very easy when the prototype is wheeled out to get excited, the real time to start cheering is when its being manufactured and deployed

█ We shouldn’t even be excited about A.I.

The #Question is "How to avoid AI being integrated when it's from the tops of food chains (employment, industry etc) ? ❓

Choice is also yours, not completely the industries...

AVOID AI / don't buy AI products.

#Privacy "problems"
- for example #AI vacuum with cameras are checked by humans that are abroad in less controlled conditions. They "data label" objects or where to hoover, map things, toys and people in the way etc).

Cameras and AI see private and personal pictures of you and your home and are access by employees abroad who are NOT subject to the same rights and quality of privacy (also bad for them checking crude data) and doesn't ensure Western employment standards which is why they outsource in first place and can get away skipping privacy purposes and leveraging another culture to do it for them.

Company's outsource so they can leave it to contractors to cover this responsibility.

Employees have publicly shared vacuum pictures of people the toilet on Facebook / Meta. It's so simple- the camera, the pictures/video and the connected internet+AI - all together as a privacy spaghetti 🍝

#AI #quote "The grift-hopping is what gets me."

"Hardly anyone notices these quantum blockchain AI grifts collapse, because the new grift is already there to distract people.

It's a bit like a virus that mutates, and occasionally it mutates to something that grows big, sucks in billions and billions of investor money and just gives

it to somebody else without creating anything of worth.

What a weird system. Too bad the last two iterations are literally burning the planet in the process."
