i'm not saying kenyans are bad programmers or auditors, i'm saying chatgpt3 is a scummy project that exploits underpaid overseas workers, exposing them to traumatizing content

I am not surprised that it's only $2/hr. There are a lot of overseas software engineers being paid less than the US-company's minimum wage in the state they are headquartered. I work for a company that is the same exact way and I have talked about how bad the quality of these people's work can be. This is actually a very common thing and why I am afraid of my job and my future as someone who is a salary employee in a leadership position who is trying to both manage these overseas contractors and develop best-in-class software according to defined processes (which is something these contractors frequently do not do, because they are not 100% focused on the client, and it's not their job to be).
Sorry, I thought you were being racist.
