    Has anyone else noticed the recent resurgence of mechanical turk jobs? It’s all AI training work. Before the work was doing tasks directly. Now they have people training tailored AI models.

    In other words the tech bros have found get another way to shoehorn themselves in as a middle man. Instead of having workers do the work itself. Now the work is delegated to AI. Which is trained to do the task by humans.

    At first it said the LLM era was the end of mechanical turk work. It’s going in a circle back to mechanical turks again.
