TIL that Kenyan workers have been used so much to train AI systems, that standard writing by Kenyan people is often flagged as AI generated while it is not (which means that they can get discriminated for jobs / exams etc)
marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-…

Edit: many people raised below that the article is talking about texts written in very classically trained English detected as AI generated, which is the case for many Kenyans. It is documented that many Kenyan workers have been hired to train LLMs, but I made an assumption that it was the reason for this detection while it may not be. Sorry about that, thanks for the feedback (and feel free to continue the discussion here)

> "Kenyan workers have been used so much to train AI systems"

Where in the linked post does it say that?

in reply to jan Ki | 奇

@ki
the synopsis is wrong

try this: high achieving Kenyan students were trained to write in a very clear, traditional style that has a certain rhythm & format that readers / listeners respond to because we (English speakers & writers worldwide, not just Kenyans) absorbed a common English language culture from the late British Empire

LLMs have now also absorbed this so nowadays doubters & racists assume Kenyans' polished writing wasn't written by them but by ChatGPT

Orti della Susanna a Cibali, i cittadini alla scoperta del futuro parco


E’ stata soltanto una passeggiata nel verde, ma può essere considerata anche un seme di qualcos’altro.

Anche perché questa passeggiata non si è svolta in campagna o nell’estrema periferia della città, ma a due passi dal trafficato viale Mario Rapisardi, a poca distanza da negozi, uffici, scuole, che i partecipanti si sono lasciati alle spalle per entrare in contesto del tutto […]

"If something doesn't change now, it will never change"

In #Romania, an investigation has revealed the profoundly corrupt power structures in the Justice system.

Raluca Moroșanu, a judge, spoke out publicly against this corruption, spontaneously, during a press conference. Now, she offered Recorder a full interview.

People are still protesting in the streets. Something has to break. I hope & pray that it's going to be the corrupt system that breaks

Más pluralidad política, pero menos consensos estables.

Best Phone I've Ever Had


So I had the galaxy S4.. Up and away... I have used Galaxy S everything, iPhone Pro fuck the Max and I'm going to say as a U.S. buyer, they fucked 90+% of people. If you are calling, texting, emailing, playing 99% of games. I have a Pixel 9 Pro sitting on a shelf, that I don't find reason to use. I use a phone that was $70 when I bought it, And it's like 120 max now.

I work in IT and have since 2011.. most people are buying $800+ phones for no reason. Let's get people in the practice of realizing a $200 phone, does everything a $1200 dollar phone does. Why pay 6x more for shit you honestly don't need.

Are my 50mp camera photos good, yeah. Are they as good as the latest flagship, no. But why should most users care. The memories is what most care about, not the pixels that show someone's cheek had a mark on it with higher definition.

It's stupidity. We could save our families near $1000 a year by telling them it is ridiculous. Why because they buy a $1000 phone.. every couple years.... Why? $120 can do it the same.

Prove me wrong. Save them 1050+ a year
... With a phone that does everything they want

A Hen with Peacocks and a Turkey, Melchior d'Hondecoeter, c. 1680
Hondecoeter enlivened his bird paintings with little vignettes. Here the focus is on the hen taking care for her chicks, surrounded by large and intimidating birds.

Ciekawe jaki Wasz był pierwszy film, który dodaliście do swojej ulubionej playlisty. Pochwalcie się.

pamiętam czasy początku studiów i tego typu nagrania oglądane maniacko... :blobCat_giggle:
Co ciekawe, teraz dało się to wyszukać, ze 2 lata temu był problem i myślałam, że albo kanał zdjęli albo przynajmniej wywalili nagrania Open Spark Project.

jeden gość z koła naukowego na uczelni miał podobne urządzenie, tylko w mniejszej skali. Wychodził od tego kabel jack, więc myślałam, że wystarczy, że telefon podłączę i da się muzykę puszczać. Ale to musi być dźwięk w specjalnym formacie, żeby działało :/
