It’s a well-researched book written by a journalist so you know that’s my jam! Plus the title is perfect.
I’m only a few chapters in so far but I’m digging it. Currently learning about the horribly underpaid/overworked/heavily exploited humans in India and Africa who work “content moderation” jobs so we can have AI. I had no idea there is currently a big lawsuit between Sama and Meta about how poorly these workers are treated. The author refers to this as “data colonialism” 🫠
Drinking: stay tuned for my Friday Five at 5pm ;) currently sipping on Liquid IV and water lol.
Reading: lots of documents for my new job + ADHD for Smart Ass Women
Listening to: Hannah Juanita’s “Honky Tonkin for Life” and Sirius XM’s Beatles and Elvis Channels
Ha, well, less interested in the docs. How’s the ADHD book?
I lied - I haven’t started but it’s my weekend read :)
Report back please!
Ooooh Irina loved this book!

Nice! The book sounds interesting. Any insights so far?

Really interesting. I was just listening to an economist talk about externalization (aka outsourcing) of exploitative labor. Thank you for sharing!
