There’s literally nothing wrong with this. The data labeling is higher value than the engineering work.
SWEs are not going to take the transition to being low status well.
Just learned:
Software engineers used to do manual data labeling at Scale AI while Alex Wang was CEO. After he left, new leadership joined, and were HORRIFIED to learn this. Stopped it ASAP
Now at Meta, software engineers are assigned manual data labeling... see the pattern?
@STRYED0R@gustavo_xAM No. It’s somewhat ironic but the culture of privacy protocols must contain their own commitment to a sort of radical transparency. I appreciate the response.
@austincampbell@sacha it’s pretty clear to me where we’re headed, any platform for free global finance will by definition need to enshrine the principles of cypherpunk money
