Across the Global South, governments are betting on digital labor to grow their economies, yet for women, platform work is creating income without the promised independence, Savannah Taylor writes.
Thousands of people are selling their identities to train AI – but at what cost?

"Cette triste séquence alarme sur le rôle de l’information dans la progression du racisme et de la discrimination. Parmi les derniers remparts, à l’ouverture d’une intense période électorale : les journalistes. Dont la vigilance, même mise à rude épreuve, doit plus que jamais être accrue."
Mainstream media and the Trump administration praised Alpha School, an "AI-powered private school" that can cost up to $65,000 a year. 404 Media has learned that the school is AI-generating faulty lesson plans.

il me rappelle Ceausescu. Tout le pays mourait de faim, mais lorsqu’il faisait ses visites officielles, les boulangeries et les « supermarchés » étaient artificiellement remplis de nourriture, pour qu’il garde la bonne conscience, et le délire, qu’il était un bon président pour son peuple.
The Rump administration fired half of the employees working to address discrimination in education & wasted 28-38 million in taxpayer dollars preventing investigators from doing their jobs.

About Martin, these are the details: his rent and the associated overhead that Harvard takes is about $400k per year, or $2m over 5 years (this is absolute minimum to keep him there and operating); his idditional amounts for scholarship/scholars outside of the Templeton grant is about twice that amount is current running budget is $1.2M per year (or $6M over 5 years). When we made the $11M grant, we though that this would scale up and expand his exceptional center and work, so if we could somehow raise S6M to add our $11M to that would be ideal. That is what I think we should aim for.
Also, just FYI, I'm going to be asking Templeton to approve an additional $2M. supplement for broad philosophical/applied questions after year 2 of the project, so this will further amplify the importance of Martin's work, which can not be understated- he is a genius."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3fhk74uohcffsgqho6oarnc5/bafkreibctcln4ud3e6cpyzs4b4wlxstpfpnxibpgpe6qaujk3gd5sgtn3a)

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
beaucoup de modèles d’IA sont entraînés sur des données anglo-saxonnes. Si la conversion se fait automatiquement, on peut arriver à des résultats comme:
14/20 - environ 70 %
70 % aux États-Unis - environ C
C = average / moyen

Big Tech is “no longer strategizing for voluntary adoption [of AI]…They are planning to cross the chasm by forced adoption. People will use it because they are told they ‘have to’ by their employer, by their school, by their president, or by the police state.”

Joëlle Zask, "S’entraîner à observer"
"En soi, l’observation est déjà un mode d’émancipation: en effet, comme le remarque souvent Dewey au sujet de l’école destinée aux jeunes enfants, son rôle est d’entretenir ce désir d’entrer en contact direct avec le monde extérieur."
C'est reparti! 😊
