The article mentions 'unskilled' but in a lot of cases this is not true - many clients in the sector stipulate masters level in linguistics with multiple languages for annotation work and they still want to pay minimum wage
"You can design all the neural networks you want, you can get all the researchers involved you want, but without labelers, you have no ChatGPT. You have nothing,” Exactly this!! Machine "intelligence" is nothing without underpaid human labor. nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/…

My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen.

#Mobilitätsgipfel ohne Schiene, Bus und Fahrrad ist doch wieder nur ein Automobilitätsgipfel. #Verkehrswende funktioniert nur, wenn alle Verkehrsmittel eingebunden werden und vor allem diejenigen, die Mobilität heute schon elektrisch und klimafreundlich gestalten.

Fantastic #sydNYE 9pm fireworks display by re-right collective and @ArtNadeena with soundscapes by salllvage, blowing the midnight ones out of the water in terms of choreography, creativity, non-pyro effects and, last not least, music one wants to listen to. Loved it 😍

RT @Abebab: an "accurate" physiognomic pseudo-science AI is still physiognomic pseudo-science AI

Many of the problems in AI policy stem from the fact that economy-of-scale capitalism is, by nature, anti-democratic, and capex-intensive AI is therefore anti-democratic. No one really wants to admit this. It's awkward to bring it up at parties (I am not fun at parties).

This morning, I read a newsletter from an excellent #climate journalist who said the @IEA found last year that "we’d already discovered sufficient fossil fuels to get the world comfortably through to net-zero by 2050". That's true. But it's not what the IEA said. Let me explain.
