‘It’s destroyed me completely’: Kenyan moderators decry toll of training of AI models

OpenAI has already taken a toll on human workers. It’s chilling to contemplate that students and creatives are comfortable with relying on this product in any meaningful way.

Elon Musk has officially killed Twitter. The zombie platform lives on as X, a disfigured shell of its former self
