The "Modern Day Slaves" Of The AI Tech World 

Only 5th world people can live on that 😆

By design I’m sure.

I am a third worlder and working in IT for richer countries. I am very wealthy now.

@@dieglhix when you work in 1st world and spend in third world yes you are rich so it seems

Letting goods travel frictionless made the world vastly more unequal and letting labor travel frictionless (while people are still bound by borders) is going to make things so much worse.

Yeah it's the economic system that rewards using cheap labor. Now if there wasn't one private owner of a business we wouldn't see as much desperation. If workplaces were owned by the people who work there the people would have enough power to set boundaries.

Not a threat, they are not forced to take the job. The loving government forces your to pay for their services

The worriying part is people doing this comments that sound like a teenager trying to be profound and people liking it

PLS WATCH THE DANGERS OF AI TO HUMANITY

@@CarlosJuarez-eb5gx and you have nothing more than an ad hominem argument to offer, very profound!

Very interesting analogy 👌

I work in tech and make $20k a year. I'm working on leaving the US, and when I retire I'll be very happy if I never touch a transistor or 'scope probe again. I use a flip phone, and get by computer-wise by buying used laptops and using them until they die. I hate tech.

Yeah, the thing is that it's not new. It's been there for thousands of years, but in different forms.

You have no understanding of history and modernization.

And yet it's not Romans but another group of people that are called 'barbarians' in history books

They are being paid to develop mental problems! It couldn't be otherwise

They don’t „have“ to. Their minds and their environment and situations simply makes it more difficult them to pursue other options.

You should have taken the resources from the job to improve your skills. Did you think that job was going to pay the same rate for 20 years? I'm honestly confused as to what people are thinking when they go to work, that X job will pay Y rate for a century?

@@LazyDotDev Thank you for your comment but sometimes when you are in a situation to survive you take all kinds of jobs. And you don't know or understand my circumstances and in this case other click-workers. When it is about what you eat at the end of the day or what languages you speak what matters? Sometimes you CAN NOT find other jobs. So there is a choice between this or something even worse. What would you choose? You would let your kid go to school with no shoes? Have you ever been in the Phillipoines? Eastern Europe? India? Until you not face extreme poverty I don't think your comment makes sense without knowing the full picture.

Are there others in your country who have been able to level up? I also come from a 3rd world country working in IT where I made about $50 a month. I was able to escape that condition by making sacrifices. Spending about an hour a day or on the weekends learning new skills. Now I make over 100x more because I was able to upskill. It’s not easy when you’re in this situation but it’s very possible

@@americo9999 it's called sin.

Exactly what I thought

could you please explain better what do you mean with this comment? I dont understand.

Electricity charges and cost of buying a computer, plus the food you eat during that time frame

@@anandsharma7430 yes it shows how messed up social media is with little or no regulation

Exactly!

I tried to start a company like this. Only I wanted it to be aimed at actually helping the humans in the loop.

The figure 8 supervillain didn’t se these questions coming?

Poetic, but false.

Yeah sure

Amazon can tell you more about that.

That’s not quite right. It implies that those who are better off do nothing. I fully agree that those at the bottom are paid disproportionately little and those at the top paid disproportionately too much.

@@JE4-1 I'm hoping that one day this people who exploited the poor and weak will suffer far more than the people whom they exploited...

@@juandelacruz1520 that's not how it happens, because you're also the one exploiting others as you buy the products for cheap, everyone wants the cheap option, that's how the world works. if you don't do it, others will

Yes America! Isn't it the greatest. We're #1. No one creates Ulta wealthy people like we do.

That’s why they´re barely kept alive but unable to change their highly dependent situation.

As Charlie Chapplin said in Great Dictator "greed has poisoned human hearts"

Did you husband study computer science?

@@Github_tech_with_ty no, medical billing and coding. Couldn't make enough money in it and went into factories in his twenties and gained all his experience and skills firsthand. My dad planned to go into the navy and studied geography to work on submarines. Then his program got cancelled so he started working at Radio Shack and put himself through computer classes. He's been working for an HP affiliate for thirty years. Dodges layoffs constantly. All my "uncles" from HP are already laid off now that COVID is over.

@@Github_tech_with_ty , don't be rude to @yvechapman9342 . You know that it is not just about studying computer science that made the difference. That fellow is a rich fellow who went to an elite school that taught him that he could use people like cogs. Clearly, you must understand this.

​​@@Github_tech_with_ty Most of these have finance degreed, devs are just like chickens to these companies, not their fault just born greed imoral psycopaths

the difference is I think your husband works for somebody else whereas he works for himself

It's people and culture now.

"Human Resources". Deep

No, social media algorithms should be VERY regulated to the point where negative content is not shown to users and it becomes only fun to use social media for 15 minutes at a time until it gets boring, social media like snapchat is what it should be like, but stories should never expire to prevent addiction. This should be for ALL ages, not just minors. There was a mass violent activity in Myanmar because of Facebook's algorithm, and overall more polarization in society.

@@the_mariocrafter of course it should be very regulated, it's the biggest danger to democracy. Why do you think fascism is on the rise around the world?

It's an ordinary pyramid of earnings. This is how the world works. As an employee, you may or may not work for company A, B, C, D that pays you for your work. However, if a thousand people do something for someone a day, that person may earn $1,000 a day. $1 from each employee's daily wage. If you have 100,000 of them, you have $100,000. If someone is paid to work for $0.20, he is either naive and stupid, or he earns much more because, for example, he sells something to millions of other people. A cryptocurrency miner will earn more in a day than these people will earn in a month. FB moderators have a hard time. They accept trauma for the rest of their lives for little pay. There is supposedly flagging of content, but would anyone want their child to have to flag when someone's head is decapitated? Probably not. So this job is actually as valuable as the job of a cleaning lady, except that you clean the whole world at the same time.

It’s a disgrace!

That's capitalism, just min maxing. Maxing out profits while squeezing out value from the poors at the bottom.

There are many who will saddle someone who calls themselves a donkey.

@@iquid7494 😢

@@AdamGeest you start a company and throw money to everyone. Let me know. Thanks.

​@@zhoudan4387 Yeah, because the opposite of throwing breadcrumbs at these famished beggars weary of their lives is the wanton dilapidation of whatever meager profit you have been able to painstakingly scrape together. I'm sorry, the miseries that are on full display here are grim and borderline Dickensian. What's the point of any of this, after all, if we cannot channel human energies and industry in ways that are more productive and dignified? How can anything positive ultimately emerge from a company that is fundamentally premised on treating human material as just that-a spiritless means toward some utilitarian, profit-maximizing end?

A lowly paid moderation slave hasn’t had a chance to remove it yet!?

If it does not bring money it makes no sense for them

At least reviewing AI code...you will probably learn to become a great coder yourself and can find much better employment.

​@@MrTynanDraperWishful thinking. It takes practice, and good mentoring, and a lot of luck since the job market is saturated with skilled people

Hello there. Could you share the site/company name. I'm looking to start earning online

Well third world people can’t get jobs in their countries even with masters degrees. $4 per day is a big victory for them.

still shouldn't be legal to pay that little. America is modern day slavery wrapped up in 'freedom and liberty' lol what a job.

@@out_spocken still miles ahead the rest of the world. Billions would kill just to get a chance to live here.

True

Whatever they can get away with

Yesssss👁👁

Problem is that over 60% of global wealth is held by about 2000 billionaires. They decide basically about everything and we don't have anything to say. However we can imagine different world. World in which we ensure that wealth/income are limited, so no single person would have such leverage. There would be no billionaires. Maybe some people would have 100x more, so maybe it's fine that someone earns $500k, but that should also mean that no one should live for less than $5k and every job should pay at least that, even if you live in third world. In case that majority of people will agree to that direction, then it's just matter of figuring out how to exactly ensure that it works like that in practice.

@@adiq94 " World in which we ensure that wealth/income are limited " who would ensure that ? that's a stupid idea, instead of 2000 billionaires, you would have the exact same system but with 20 billionaires or 2 . Whoever is tasked with deciding the limit of wealth others can have will have an insane amount of power. You cannot put an upper limit on income, you have to put a lower limit, the problem with this video is basically Big Tech getting away with the laws because they found loop-holes, that need to be patched by law, and it needs to be done globally in a coordinated manner, otherwise companies will just move it to other countries. The idea of having a limit on income would backfire immediately as the working class is going to have a limit on their upper income, but the rich class doesn't even have income. If you understood how things work, you would know that the rich basically runs on debt, they have no income, they just spend on debt and write off because companies can do that. You talk about billionaires as if they had billions in cash, that's not how it works. They own companies that have that value, their wealthy is attached to the economical output of the company. The real problem is the leverage and power that companies are allowed isn't available for the common folk. For ex, companies pay taxes on profit, not on invoice as workers do, imagine if you only paid taxes after you paid all your rent and expenses, only on the surplus, that's one of the ways that companies have more rights than people. Other problem with the idea that "no one should earn less than $5K" is that it creates inflation, now you put a lower limit, but that doesn't make those horrible types of work stop existing. Its all about demand and offer, if people are taking those jobs, then that's a supply problem, why are there so many people incapable to getting better paying jobs ? aren't there enough paying jobs for skilled workers ? (excessive immigration, cof, cof, we aren't allowed to talk about that, nationalism and closing borders is bad, because "hitler") Even with a minimum wage, that wouldn't solve the problem, all other jobs would be inflated until the minimum wage is the actual value that would be paid for that job. The problem is having too many people willing to do such jobs. The entire economy would inflate so that the supply matches the price. That's why the minimum wage is not the minimum livable wage, the entire economy suffered inflation to the point the minimum wage stops being minimum. The only thing that would work would be breaking companies that become too big into smaller companies and ensuring the markets stay competitive and open. Which ironically can't happen because the same corporations misuse this desire for regulation to regulate their competitors out of the market. I think a better solution would be to invest in education, so people have better opportunities, but real education, not this Frankfurt school bullshit system. And keep the government out of the markets. For example, none of this content moderation would be necessary if Facebook gave the power for people to self-moderate, groups and communities can self-moderate, but they can't do that, the users can't have that power. Everything must be top-down. Facebook act like if its the government, why are they even moderating anything ? they're not the government, they don't know the laws of the land. That's the problem, Facebook operates at global scale, there can't be a single law or rule that apply to the entirety of the world, maybe social networks need to be broken up into smaller networks, like the Internet was in the 2000s.

​@@adiq94So a wealth cap? Who decides what that number is also?

That seems noble and decent, but dont believe it, I wish someone could prove me wrong that human kind is nothing more than just sick egotistical greed animals, just feel raeally bad to be part of this disease

Why is everything exploitation? If I list a WFH job and someones takes it, am I exploiting them? She literally gets a convenient job where she can work from home, she isn't extracting minerals from a congo mine. Now, she can do this job and improve her education so that in time she can choose a more skilled job.

Live out of a box truck, go busking around the country. I’ll give you a parking spot near Seattle if you ever get up this way.

It isn't.

lol that’s a dumb comment. Training a machine even if it takes 100 million times if the machine works forever then it’s pretty smart to do

You're correct that's why we call it artificial

Just a good slight of hand

Not really teaching a machine more of giving the machine more computing data to work with. Machines can’t learn the way a human brain does. It’s more of teaching the algorithm which is made by computational math. Math such as discrete mathematics, linear algebra, etc. The amount of people out there that say math is useless are usually the same people who complain about such things or make blanket statements like this.

Desperate times. She could teach English as a second language for better money.

@@LilyGazou In that case I presume that she can work remotely maybe taking care of her children. I'm very sceptical bout this video.

I see it more and more.

True.

When you analize the present it is fighting to imagine the future

Can you afford to buy land in remote areas? Perhaps with a group of people to restore an abandoned town. You can set up a Hip Camp ( app) to make some income from visitors. You can grow food, create arts and crafts. I would chip in for such a project.

@@LilyGazou you kinda can, but most of the abandoned towns go to auction and large groups with money get them. You can buy land cheap in rural areas, problem is, there’s no work in such places, visitors will be next to non. Our roads/highway are a joke, transportation also.. in rural areas you are pretty much isolated. You can live from land, I am not saying you can’t, but will be a very hard life.. unless you do remote working, then ye you can.. but not everyone is able to do remote working. You can send me a dm if you want to talk about this stuff

That’s why they have billions.

Sociopaths don’t have a conscience.
