po
In a statement, an OpenAI spokesperson confirmed that Sama employees in Kenya contributed to a tool it was building to detect toxic content, which was eventually built into ChatGPT. The statement also said that this work contributed to efforts to remove toxic data from the training datasets of tools like ChatGPT. “Our mission is to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity, and we work hard to build safe and useful AI systems that limit bias and harmful content,” the spokesperson said. “Classifying and filtering harmful [text and images] is a necessary step in minimizing the amount of violent and sexual content included in training data and creating tools that can detect harmful content.”
So not only did OpenAI offshore the labor of safety censorship of content, it also offshored the psychic trauma.
Question: if the model (data sets, etc) is so good, why isn't all this safety built into the view? Why the bag on the side?
Followup: if it's so good, then why can't the view filter the model?
Props to Time Magazine for peeking behind the curtain to show that all the sufficiently-advanced-technology still requires brutalizing labor.

https://www.thedriftmag.com/what-was-the-ted-talk/
po
“The speaker’s work and words move you and fill you with an expanded sense of possibility and excitement,” Anderson writes of the successful TED talk. “You want to go out and be a better person.” All this can be achieved, Anderson proposes, without any serious transfers of power. In fact, in Anderson’s view, not only is culture upstream from politics, but politics itself — dependent on what he calls “tribal thinking” — destroys the free movement of ideas, with all its world-changing potential. “The toxicity of our political… nonconversations is a true tragedy of the modern world,” he writes. “When people aren’t prepared or ready to listen, communication can’t happen.”
This is probably the core of the problem with TED and Tech Futurism: How can you aspire to change the world without altering the fundamental systems of power? Those "tribes" have power. And from those that are threatened with the loss of that power, the toxicity is not by accident. The possibility and excitement is definitely on their minds.
Also "inspiresting" is a dreadful portmanteau and perfectly captures the TED phenomenon of having made a provocative contribution that ultimately does not change anything.
