Hi. I’m impressed to hear that you’ve been involved in computer vision for years. Please let’s get in touch. I have some projects I need to process with computer vision and machine learning. I’m willing to pay for your services

Appreciate it! Hope you like the rest of my videos :)

thank you so much for the love and feedback! Im glad you found this video insightful and learned something. Your feedback about using less stock is very valuable and i appreciate it. I will use less in my future videos. Must love ❤

They are beginning to replace low priced DS people with AI automation as of late 2022, as THAT is their present and future path- not offshoring.

@@amdenis yeah for sure. ai automation has always been in their plans. But it'll take time for their data labeling to be fully ai automated

ah interesting. Yeah I was always skeptical about its business. Scale's essentially a glorified data labeling agency. There's def demand and a business for this. BUT a $7.3 BILLION business?? I'm not sure about it

Love that fact that a lot of high valued startups are glorified story covering non-scalable businesses. But hey who cares about that when you already get paid before you get find out :D Rinse and repeat.

@@alvin3171997 Welcome to Silicon Valley

So dont VCs do due diligence before investing? top investors have some really smart people

@@AdityaSharma-gg6rc They're betting on these companies years ahead of their current state (at that point in time, few are doing what they do), and they're betting on the fact they have a high enough valuation that when they go public or get acquired, they can cash out big regardless of underlying fundamental value or future prospect.

yeah not sure how long it can last

oh gotcha. Sorry about the shitty pay. What was the work like?

If the pay is considered bad in Kenya then it’s gotta be really shit

Which was your hourly payment?

​@@WangMotionsfor context as to how terrible it is, I have members of family in Nairobi Kenya (considered quite expensive) who can live off $150 a month easily

@@DarkModeDigestboring as you can imagine - Data labelling. And challenging as hell especially when you are not the original data owner. You can just BS labelling with your own views hence leading to generating fake data. Go figure.

Thank you. Glad it’s insightful!

Yep Scale API back in the days

And??? If that is the whole statement, it provides a very bad return on investment of my time..

yeah for sure. A lot of companies do this, unfortunately

Yo… this is literally so real. My uncle worked in remotask and he literally gets little salary.

@@gailleamolong9149 sorry to hear about that. unfortunately this is the capitalist world

@@gailleamolong9149 maybe your uncle quality is low and slow to finish the task.

Everything that goes up ... Well, I bet he knows what's coming

glad you found it insightful. Thank you!

thats the ponzi scheme recipe

glad you found it insightful and thanks for the support!

if by SAAS you mean Software as a Service, then kind of. They do provide software to help companies build their AI and LLMs like Spellbook. But I see them more of a service-based company (at least for now) where they help annotate, curate, and collect companies' data to power their own AI applications. As for your 2nd question, they kind of were an ML agency. More like they provided taskers on demand for things like content moderation, data labeling, etc. Not specifically for AI, then pivoted to focus on AI once there was a huge demand for it. Glad you found this video insightful!

I would say they are a combination of both SaaS and consulting firm similar to Palantir. If you have a unique use case, they can tailor their pipelines to your needs given you shell out the $$. I think their end goal is pure SaaS where they sell their labeling models to companies.

@@IIGrudge 💯

they want to do the most they can to accelerate AI developments for the US. and yes they want to supply the picks and shovels during this AI gold rush

thank you 🙌 appreciate the love

Thank you! Glad it was insightful :)

Hey not sure what you mean. Can you expand on this>?

@@DarkModeDigest sir market main borsaai namka ek investment app chal raha hai jo mahina main double kar deta hai but uska name scale ai hai aur iso certificate v uske paas hai aur PlayStore par saai namka ek app hai kya app bata sakte hai uniq hai ya froud?? 🙏

thank you! glad you enjoyed :)

Agreed

Thank you! :)

thank you! I'm glad this was easy to understand. And thanks for the suggestion!

thank you! glad you liked it :)

Thank you! yes just started making long-form videos last month. As for the video, I only outsource the video editing. I do the script and voiceover :)

​@@DarkModeDigest I suggest to you at the same time to focus on short content "KZfaq shorts" this will make your channel better

Yep definitely. Scale’s probably building that out but it’ll be a while for it to fully work. In the meantime, they need human labelers

Awesome glad it was helpful! And greetings from New York 🇺🇸

I've just been contacted as well for an AI training writer job. They promise a nice hourly rate but I am very skeptical of these online remote jobs in tech as I've already wasted a ton of time on search results evaluation which was a total sketchy scam (not to mention the very biased and censorship-like criteria for evaluation that I ended up not wanting to endorse)

US workers are generally protected by strict regulations. Other countries unfortunately don't have the same level of protection

@seawallbreeze9616 I wanted to become what they call a contributor and work for them as you do, but I want to check rates before I start the process to compare if Remotask is the best option.. do you know of any other company that does the same? I'd appreciate any guidance here. Thank you!

Thank you! I was confused as well. That’s what prompted me to create this video :)

Thanks for your comment! Yes i just started this channel. and the Forbes list was authentic at first, but now it's more about who you know and politics. Def lost its credibility over the years.

yeah those annotators are contractors

thank you! appreciate it :) I love Answered Logically

yes indeed. But not the craziest we've seen

indeed 🙌🏻

Thanks for your comment and insight. Yes, you're right. I was reacting to how poorly they treated those workers. It's more on the whole system. Apple infamously did this with their iPhone production. But at the end of the day, it is business and those workers may not have jobs otherwise.

are you kidding ?? these company do that on purpose. and they know the truth aswell they paying very little to people they employee from other countries. They just want to make more money.

Alexandr is that you bud?

@@techworld3043 yep like i said, it's just business

@@epireve lol 👀

nice way of summarizing :)

thank you! you can actually turn them on with youtube's media player. just click on the CC icon!

She's legit and the real deal. Definition of 'work hard play hard' i would say. If you look at what she's done and what she's currently doing, she knows how to grow, execute. Passes (her current startup) continues to grow exponentially despite being in a very competitive space. She has her own VC fund which she frequently invests in. Look at what Scale has become. She was a thiel fellow and worked at faang companies during the golden years of the valley. and then i say she also plays hard because she parties like no other. Only person i know that can pull off throwing a mini festival for her birthday in miami. She calls it "Lucypalooza". She deserves all the hype.

Yeah I’m so sorry for that. I just cut it out using the KZfaq editor

ah cool. Yep, they're from Scale

Because a solution like ChatGPT will take over this business

@@hafizuddinmohdlowhim8426 kind of. They help power the models that go into GPT

There are competitors. Scale has just done a better job of penetrating the market. Also, better brand, marketing, and founder recognition as the 2 founders (Alex and Lucy) have made a name for themselves across Silicon Valley and tech.

​@@DarkModeDigestStill doesn't justify the slavery how is that better

@@DarkModeDigest Do you know any competitors company name? I'd like to compare payment/hour or task. Thank you! Loved your video

Yep 💯

i'm pretty sure that's what Scale is planning to do. But, they need to hire humans to do that now to train their own models to eventually AI the AI. It'll take some time for this to happen though

@@DarkModeDigest Having been involved is the installation of several corporate data systems, and even creating fundamental design specs for the inhouse IT to built systems. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE, putting labels on the data so it was stored in a way that the software would produce reports that had some meaning. And this was so even when it was an accounting system, a plant maintenance management system, a parts and materials management system etc. There was no two people that could agree on a naming or categorizing system for the data, and then even the people actually entering the data had their own ideas about what "category" code to place a transaction data in. This got even worse when there were two or three levels of categories used to classify the transaction data. Then for years there has been all these promises of IT data "analysis" and "reporting". Implying that the data did not have to be "pre-structured" and "categorized" for IT to produce "meaningful reporting". Is that just a big BS S**t Pile???

Sounds about right

honestly prob all these countries :(

Who would let their child do this work?

@@InternetStranger10101 when they really need the money and/or children just doing it on their own without parental consent

​@@InternetStranger10101😂😂In Thailand, parents send their sons into prostitution and their daughters give them parts of the profits.

yess I remember that video. Just to clarify: he actually never got fired because he was never hired. He got rejected during the interviews 😉:)

@@DarkModeDigest oh yeah my bad! you're correct

@@hassaannoor all good brother!

They are basically a consulting firm. They make use of clients' data. Mostly the government. But, you can bet they're building tech to eventually rid themselves of their human labelers so that it can all be automated... but it'll take years before this comes

Good question. My guess is a combination of acquiring them through open-source and everything on the internet, as well as paying data companies. Now, they prob get a solid amount of data from their clients as well. Then, they use their labelers to annotate and make use of the data.

Yep

I tried sneaking in to their operations when they first launched@@DarkModeDigest . People don't know they used labor wage arbitraged. Billionaires make their money from exploitation.

yes 100%. Startups have the benefit of being small and nimble-no bureaucracy like big companies.

nothing 😂 it was just something subtle I baked in there for fun for those paying close attention

@@DarkModeDigest lmfao. I thought that was an official company memo or somethin. well played sir

@@laidback-luc it was actually mentioned in an article (I think Forbes maybe)

This is true. But, we’ll never stop using them. Humanity is increasingly becoming more and more online. Unless we have an apocalyptic occurrence, we’ll continue to use our devices and be on the internet. Its too ingrained in our lives now to stop

Its based on location. where are you based? and how long have you been working?

thank you! appreciate the love 🙌

in this game, you can't really trust anyone. Just have to choose who to side with

lol maybe

how did they ruin it? do you mean ethically ruin it? Because it's pretty damn good. Its ability to produce relative contextual responses is crazy

i spoke to a few people. And many have commented here about their experience as well :)

What happened?

Ohh you worked there? Can you expand more on how the working conditions were?

sorry to hear it wasn't very good

i think you mean help with reducing poverty?

@@DarkModeDigest Yes, my idol, "help" is the right word.

time stamp?

​@@jlau047:10

You're right i shouldn't have done that. I apologize for that. i got carried away with trying to show real clips of war that i didn't think about the sensitivity of the clip.

Not that big a deal dude, I honestly didn’t even notice it

Bruh

facts

@@DarkModeDigest Why? Please explaine more about it. I've just been accepted to work for them.

@@vicenteraulfernandezcastan7871heard a lot of people complain about poor working conditions for little pay. They promise you certain pay but don't actually deliver on promises

HA right! But in all seriousness, they are more than that. They have a whole annotation service as well as a whole platform for LLM apps

So not just manual labor hiring :)

This is true. But i'd also argue that the company has a responsibility to treat its employees (even contractors) fairly. These are people working for you. But unfortunately, many companies don't. This is indeed capitalism 101.

@@DarkModeDigest what does that even mean lol? Treating employees 'fairly'? Only people who have never made a deal in their life use a term like that. At the end of the day, we make deals with people. If you don't like the deal, you can decide not to take it, or leave. 'Fair' is subjective and nonsensical.

@@geneherald8169 Things like providing a little better work environment or paying a little bit more. But I agree with you at the end of the day it's business. As a worker, you're choosing to work for these companies.

​@@DarkModeDigest I know the smaller the communities, a socialist mindset is better which is largely why people have it. But frankly this trend in the West towards socialism needs to stop. People are brainwashed. A good resource is 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harrari, chapter 16, 'the capitalist creed'. This aside, I appreciate the hard work you put into this video, we need more of that in this country.

@@geneherald8169 I appreciate your comments and thoughts. I will look into Sapiens! :)

Still, if u want to be a billionaire u have to do shady things, that’s facts man

Just like Uber replaced its drivers with Self Driving Cars.

I’m not saying this at all.
