"underpaid".

I wonder what this has to do with the discussion on how LLMs work.

I'd like to know more why does Vivaldi team thinks these people were underpaid, how do they know how much per hour they were paid and what would be a fair price for the job according to Vivaldi's evaluation of the scope.

I'm really interested to know how did the Vivaldi team conclude that OpenAI forced unwilling people to do the work while paying less than what these people expected to receive for their time.

And most importantly. What does this have to do with LLM integration in browser?



At a glance, it feels more likely to me that they're criticizing training LLMs on content without compensating the original creators, not the salaries of OpenAI engineers. It's a pretty common moral / ethical stance to take now.


I think this is what they are referring to: https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/


That seems more likely than my initial interpretation, in which case the moral and ethical implications just so you can have a "Summarize with AI" button or other such features in your web browser are obviously much worse.

No, the phrase they have written specifically talks about the RLHF workers and they do evaluate the pay of these people and somehow bring this issue into the discussion of how LLMs are useful to browsers.

And because I'm being downvoted for asking a simple logical question whether this has anything to do with LLM features in browser, I logically conclude that there are some things in current American culture that I literally (literally!) don't understand.
