Not only in India and Pakistan

i tried to run an llm locally and as soon as i hit download hundreds of thousands of indian and pakastani people started spewing out of my computer

I hope you're being ironic with the meme and not because you think AI isn't based mostly on human labor theft and data
- Everything is based on labor theft in a capitalist society. Using AI isn't more evil than buying groceries.
- Wait so LLMs use data?
- i hope youre not a nazi
- The training sets were curated by shitloads of humans; some of that was through captcha; some of that was through things like Mechanical Turk that farms rote and repetitive categorization work out to tons of people in developing countries for almost no money.

Nigeria too (aka the reason ChatGPT likes saying "delve")

Huh, that's kind of neat. Nigerian workers feed ChatGPT business articles written by Nigerian English speakers and as a result GPT adopts some Nigerian business English speech patterns.
Of course, that means whenever ChatGPT says "delve" I'm going to read it the same way as seeing "synergy" or "disruptor," aka, with hostile intent against the speaker.

I recommend reading the book ghost work, its 30€ from amazon or how much you can afford it for from Annas archive

It is joked that“AI” stands for “absent Indians”

Can anyone explain to me

yes, very sad ;(

Please elaborate

Nm- bad take

All Indians

If they're underpaid, why do they take the job?

Why do the poor not just make more money are they stupid?
- So you don't have an answer, just snark. Even in the US, companies pay different rates based on the local cost of living. Where are your posts crying about that?
Because underpaid is better than starving to death
- But being underpaid means they can get more money somewhere else. Why don't they just go to the place that pays better?
Have you heard of capitalism?
You are assuming they have the luxury of getting a higher paying job. This requires two things
Higher paying jobs exist and are available to them
They can afford to not work until they land one of these jobs.
The first only works if there is a strong economy and employers are not cooperating to set a low “market price” which they have a strong incentive to do
The second only works if there is again a strong economy allowing for savings AND a strong social safety net / welfare system giving the freedom to not make a desperate choice of employment
Im gonna be real with you if this stuff had not occurred to you before now you should just stop having opinions on things.
