Adding insult to injury:
The US-based company operates an AI training platform named Outlier, which employs more than 900,000 “freelance” workers.
Or rather more injury to injury.
Thanks noyb, we really need to stay vigilant. It’s clear that US companies have almost no oversight at home, and expect the same to be the case everywhere.
Noyb is doing such such an important work.
OK, so, this is clearly bad and it’s great they try to intervene - and really telling there seems to have been no reply at all.
But another thought about A-line that caught my eye:
More than 40 million people already have their work organised by platforms
That kinda sounds like a socialists wet dream. Like, real existing socialism, aka the bad one, but it also has potential for some weird Marx/Asimov futuristic shit that might be pretty decently liveable. Maybe.
As of the fourth quarter of 2025, there were approximately 201.82 million people employed in the European Union.
So a fifth of the EU workforce already. Damn.
Indeed what you’re describing is a recurring argument by people like Cockshot or the INDEP network for the fact that we already have the technology to plan the economy, it’s just captured (mostly) by private corporations. The work of Gianmarco Cristofari instead explores the early examples of states beginning to own these technologies
