Also the ecological impact that devastates water and pollutes low income — largely Black, communities. I’m way more concerned about poisoning Black working class communities

👏👏👏 Amazing analysis. To anyone who wants to explore these topics deeper, I have some recommendations: 1. Empire of AI by Karen Hao 2. The New Age of Sexism by Laura Bates 3. Feeding the machine by Callum Cant and James Muldoon 4. Love Machines by James Muldoon 5. Surveillance Capitalism by Soshana Zuboff

I’ve been so focused on the end product being dangerous I forgot about the process it’s taken to even get there, this was perfectly said

i highly recommend the book Atlas of AI by Kate Crawford! she discusses the environmental and labor costs of AI development in depth

YESSSS!!! We actually put together a microsite that details the companies and connections behind the data work part of the AI supply chain https://dataworklandscape.org/

It’s a couple of years old, but I just got finished reading “The Eye of The Master: A Social History of AI”. And it kind goes into what you’re saying about labor. It not a perfect book but it’s good! I was disappointed it didn’t get into the global south or the Americas. It mainly sticks to history within Europe. It’s a bit academic but worth the read. It stops somewhere around the 50s so it doesn’t get into current conditions but it dives deep into the through line of what you’re saying

Love this analysis. Things like water usage and power usage can be explained away by citing efficiency improvements but theft and exploitation are fundamental original sins of AIs creation.

Can we criticise the infrastructures and the harms (without romanticising) at the same time?? Genuine question, thanks!

The focus is on the outputs, when the inputs need to be considered as well. AI is not immaterial- it is very much rooted in the tangible - people, infrastructure, hardware, energy usage

thank you for introducing me to this. i’ve been focusing on the environmental racism, surveillance (project nimbus) and noise pollution in residential areas. this is an awesome video i need more people to see it

Right, it’s not relevant that it doesn’t work as described. It is too unethical to exist at all

Great video. I deal with that in my last book http://mauriziobisogno.com - have a look.

I remember even when meta was under fire because of that article where anonymous content moderators spoke about the effects of sitting for hours seeing awful content including extremely violent/explicit stuff - Matt Bernstein just did a great pod episode on the meta glasses camera moderators too that talks about the exact same thing!

Chandler Roberson :
Such a great point. The ethics behind educating AI models is absolutely an important issue. The fact that it’s rarely (if ever) paying anyone for the training of those models but yet they create so much revenue for the Zuckerbergs and Musks that own them.

I read a book about this, it's kind of dated now (written in 2024) but covers these concepts comprehensively. It's called Atlas of AI by Kate Crawford and I genuinely feel like it should be required reading for high school/college aged students

It’s high time to do away with the term “global south.” That level of patrimonial generalization is what got us here in the first place. Countries and individuals exist and deserved to be named.

This is literally the world. Scapegoating AI is what they want us to do. AI is simply revealing the world’s structure. It’s painful people don’t see this.

Thank you, I hadn’t thought about this side of the issue as much as I should have.

i did this at apple for awhile in 2021 and it was a shitty, shitty job but that was just under us law, i can’t imagine what exploitation is enacted on workers in the global south

This is so helpful. I can’t think of a single AI product that doesn’t rely on exploiting human labour, and/or the resources people need to survive (clean air, clean water, a quiet environment for sleep, etc). Every model has been trained on things humans have produced, and it draws on all of that data but never compensates the people who produced it. And then there’s all the people being exploited by being underpaid or made to work in unsafe conditions just to do the jobs that actually make these models function, like the content moderators you mentioned
