β€˜In the end, you feel blank’: India’s female workers watching hours of abusive content to train AI Women in rural communities describe trauma of moderating violent and pornographic content for global tech companies

when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten

Since streaming sucks and I'm trying to do some horizontal unplugging (finding other ways to carry out tasks that are usually confined to my phone/the Internet) I'm finally getting around to having downloaded music again. All in Flac and everything. Feels good

A painting; Anamalocaris, with a moody expression, clutches a stein in a dark, underwater bar. Opabinia is sitting with her, talking animatedly. Other creatures in the background drink and talk as trilobites scurry around delivering steins.

My oil painting of an anthropomorphic silver tabby cat lounging amongst colorful pillows smoking a hookah. He has a black studded collar on with blue underwear and blue jewelry hanging from the collar. The hookah tube is also teal blue, matching his underwear and jewelry.

That kind of unease with daily functioning where you need to lay down and have someone else take care of you while you kind of collapse inward. Has me fantasizing about crawling around quietly in a sensory room (normal thing for a regulated adult to crave)

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

An anatomical diagram shows the skeleton of a Sharkfolk descended from the great white sharks. The structure of the skeleton resembles that of a human, but with some differences: the bones of the arms and legs are more robust, the rib cage has spines, and there are visible bones forming the dorsal fin, the small fins at the elbows and the large caudal fin. Finally, there is the rather eccentric and unique shark skull.

An image version of the Sharkfolk skeleton diagram, I chose to represent it with a Great White Shark, as its large body helps to visualize it better. 🦴🦈🦴

My time as an international student was slow and deliberate and richly rewarding. And then I come home to a country where everything is happening all at once, no one is happy, and people get shot in broad daylight by fascist hogs. I should've stayed there and been an illegal immigrant bruh

More than anything I miss the independence that I got abroad. Everything here is just cars and alcohol and stress. Back in Poland I could tram or bus anywhere I wanted, and if I wanted to be out at night as a sober person, I felt safe to do so!
