    The “outsourced labor” is the most concerning part here. People who won’t have a voice and can’t protest the poor conditions

    Being a moderator for big tech social media is maybe the worst desk job you could ever have, and have a high chance to give PTSD.

    If these jobs could go away, it would be save alot of young people taking a job, they dont know what really is.

    But it all depends on how good the AI is a moderating. It must be good though, otherwise TikTok would face mayor backlash if the platform shows more illegal content.

    And I still understand it’s shit to be layed off. But honestly, try look into what these jobs do with people.

          We save that for when law enforcement/intelligence want to mass invade everone’s privacy but don’t care to ask for consent.

      It was fun(?) and interesting for a few minutes. If that was my full time job, I’d better be getting paid decently for it.

        Yeah what is crazy is the amount that pile on. No way to “finish” your job.
