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

#ArtificialIntelligence #Technology
#Tech #Documentary #Internet

#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:

====================
#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 🍝

I do edits / subtle remixes of music - mostly to accentuate or hit those parts we love - so not to change it all completely. Simple cuts, volume fades into sections, avoiding repetitions and some wave effects if justified from lacking of transition in original etc.

EXAMPLE BELOW
+ HOW I DID IT
=============

Here's my shortened version of
The Black Lotus - Eon (download expires in 1 week)
https://bin.dembased.xyz/theblacklotus-eon-freeschool-edit.mp3

Original here https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=roASIL7G7XE
(intro is too long for casual play for example + other stuff)

====================
Here's what I did (summary):
====================
1/ It was stereo with one side for some instruments only and I prefer a united central sound so I don't hear less on one side and it's amplified together. so made it mono very easy and now even sound distribution.

2/ Trimmed beginning intro, only serves video mostly and this jumps in for the casual use to give you the 'hit' and rhythm you need every time faster than waiting.

3/ In the middle there's an airplane hit around 1.50 of my version and the volume is very low in original and underrated.
In my audio I made almost a diamond volume shape with higher in and higher out diamond so overall you imagine in a night club that that's the middle of track and you totally lose your mind from that point and have your "closed eyes" moment as the bass hits and piano hits you constantly with it's empty notes until it goes deeper after that with a constant, almost breakbeat, helicopter rhythm.

I love this instrumental.

4/ I put things on loop usually so this track is fairly loopable (the end fades out, and then the start is almost the same). There is is a bit of a volume difference but I forgive this edit so it's start is not too low if played between other music tracks - it means business coming in from first second..... boom... bap... ... boom... bap...bap...

5/ Overall some parts were criminally low or too long and made track shorter (which is usually better for 4+minute stuff)

Other examples of edits are when they have jump in's that are too quick, so flatten them.
What is too brutal I make more harmonious with it's own sound (it sounds cruel to edit someone else's professional retail track BUT as fan you know those 1 or 2 parts that is not their sound or simply what the fans enjoy most),

Using low tech and also some more obvious effects (which can be adjusted if you like later) I re-make for a kind of euphoric all-day track and sometimes fitness "high" feeling to keep you going (works with HIIT High-Intensity Interval Training)...

@bonifartius So #human #laws are that are made for playing into the #mindset of others who wish to funnel and fuel things for their wanted gains and manipulation of those that do and don't want to follow laws?

Definitely got the feeling of this quote below after reading the books title:

#Quote “If Sun Tzu had written the Art of Shaving, he would have copied this book directly.”

So if interested in #Shaving and #Razors see Fediverse profile or website link https://leisureguy.ca/sources-for-leisureguys-guide-to-gourmet-shaving/ for links to sources and a review or two.

Haven't read but nice enough chatting about it with author on Fediverse: @Leisureguy and reading website link to catch the flow.

"This book is a perfect gift for men who answer “Yes” to “Do you shave most days?” and “No” to “Do you actually enjoy shaving?” Change their life in one small but positive way — and a change whose benefits they enjoy each morning they shave."

"Don't believe the hype",

And focus on your own creative works to keep value better...
