"Prior to the 1980s, American companies built things domestically, because they risked losing control of the technology if they built things abroad using contractors. But when we tightened IP rules, and embedded those in global trade agreements, it became possible for say, Apple to make its products in China using someone else’s capital while maintaining strict control and high profit margins"

The Filter Work
Every time ChatGPT doesn't describe violence, someone read it so everyone else wouldn't have to.
Since 2021, OpenAI, Meta, and TikTok have had Kenyan workers label the internet's darkest content. Pay: often under $2/hour. One worker reported recurring flashbacks after a single passage.

Data is one of the few resources that doesn't diminish with use or time. Thus, hoarding it enables you to get more money and power down the road.

"Across Africa, countries have faced similar dilemmas as the U.S. has held a series of closed-door negotiations in which lifesaving aid has been conditioned on access to citizens’ health data. The negotiations come in the wake of the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, which — in contrast with the new contracts — provided billions of dollars in aid with few strings attached. Officials in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Ghana have been so outraged by the demands that they rejected the initial deals.
The demand to access health data is central to the Trump administration’s new America First Global Health Strategy, an openly transactional approach that seeks to leverage the desperate need for medical treatments abroad. Aid will now be given “in a way that directly benefits the American people and directly promotes our national interest,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in September.
The State Department declined to publicly release global aid and data-sharing agreements it has signed with more than 30 countries as part of its new approach. But a ProPublica analysis of nine of the deals offers a window into the extensive U.S. demands for access to data — and the potential risks and vulnerabilities for the citizens of countries that have signed them. ProPublica also reviewed a data-sharing agreement struck with Uganda, which has not previously been reported; a data agreement with Kenya; six agreements over the sharing of pathogens that can cause pandemics that were made public by the State Department this week; generic templates of deals for sharing both data and pathogens that can cause pandemics; and an analysis of the documents the advocacy group Public Citizen shared exclusively with ProPublica."

What Happens When The Machine Has Never Heard of You?

160 megawatts. Two Equinix data centers proposed on golf course land in a city whose Day Zero water crisis still haunts the grid. The application doesn't disclose water use, emissions, or diesel capacity. Foxglove and the Housing Assembly filed objection. The land remembers what the contracts forget.

In the thirteenth century, Aquinas wrote that story; he sanctified the ownership of land and the serf’s body by the lord as “divine order.” In the twenty‑first century, Yuval Noah Harari takes on the same task. Only this time, God gives way to Data, and divine order to the Algorithm.

The unfortunate truth is, that the vast majority of African data already flows through US and Chinese companies. AI isn't changing that. However, the bright side is, that African governments have understood, that they can change it through open-source and digital sovereignty.

It was a privilege to be part of such a unique and diverse team, writing about digital colonialism and surveillance capitalism and how to counter these challenges.

"Digital tools in farming are a big business, with the market worth about $30 billion last year and forecast to nearly triple to $84 billion by 2034. Tech companies including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, and Alibaba all have AI programs to tap this growing market.
Yet there is a risk that AI becomes a new form of digital colonialism, experts have warned, with big tech firms extracting data from poor communities to train a proprietary model and then selling a service or product back to them. Tech companies are already working with large agriculture firms to influence what crops are grown and how, according to the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems, a think tank. Focusing on only the most productive and profitable crops — corn, rice, wheat, soybeans, and potatoes — can wreck local food systems and hurt farmers, it said.
This is what organizations must guard against, Gandhi said. If AI optimizes only for short-term yields and ignores larger issues such as water depletion, soil degradation, or energy use, it can erode long-term resilience.
“An AI system can perform technically well and still fail farmers if it ignores economic and ecological realities,” he said. “The real measure of AI in agriculture is whether it strengthens farmer agency, improves profitability, supports sustainability, and works for women and men. That depends entirely on building with farmers, not just for them.”"

One thing I thought #LLMs were good for was translation. Apparently #Gemini and others aren’t that great at that either.
#Wikipedia restricted contributors from a nonprofit called the Open Knowledge Association (#OKA) after editors discovered #AI-assisted translations added factual errors and incorrect citations.
As predicted, humans will be relegated to cleaning up the mess LLMs leave behind, for salaries far below the value of full-time employment to do the job properly.
[…] Zimmerman added that if this method proves insufficient, OKA is considering introducing formal peer‑review mechanisms.

#DigitalColonialism Good to see it’s finally being discussed in mainstream media. It’s not just exploitation and low wages it’s also trauma and mental health. Bender & Hanna’s The AI Con exposes the industry’s hype and how trauma is outsourced to the “Global South”.

“When you see these videos, it feels that way. But since it is a job, you have to do it. You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work. You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.” #meta #ai #glasshole #privacy #digitalcolonialism

Ofcom writes to 4chan: “We are a UK-based regulator, but that does not mean the rules do not apply to sites based abroad” — true, but irrelevant…
Ofcom may declare that their rules apply anywhere, but that doesn’t mean that anywhere is necessarily within Ofcom’s jurisdiction. America might as well be another planet. Ofcom may claim whatever it likes, but it’s what the inhabitants believe that is important.
Expect another clickbait million-pound fine announcement, imminently:

So Google is building a massive AI data centre on Christmas Island, a tiny remote Australian territory with 1,692 people, and it’s exactly the kind of dystopian tech imperialism you’d expect.
They’re militarising a small island community in the name of cloud computing, partnering with the Australian Defence Department to monitor Chinese submarines and enable AI powered warfare systems. The island becomes a pawn in great power conflicts while Google extracts strategic value.
Meanwhile, locals are promised vague economic benefits while their homeland gets turned into a surveillance node with subsea cables linking to US Marine bases. Classic extractive colonialism dressed up as innovation.
The energy demands alone, powered by a local mining company, naturally, are staggering. Big Tech continues doubling our electricity costs for AI toys while communities bear the burden.
Christmas Island is known for red crab migrations, not military infrastructure. But when you’re a trillion dollar corporation, even the most remote ecosystems are just real estate for your empire.#googleisevil #bigtech #militarisation #digitalcolonialism #aiethics #christmasisland #defendtheislands #environment #aibubble

@curiously @ilumium That’s it exactly: digital colonialism, a last ditch and final push to save Empire by any means possible, no matter the cost and consequences. Clegg is responsible for effectively destroying the Liberal Democratic Party. All because only those parties who are loyal to Empire’s fascists, as in their celebrity cults can do no wrong. The fact that so many can be bought and brainwashed to serve its techno fascists and their cults is beyond depressing. It must be a mind virus. No wonder there is a mental health crisis. #AiEmpire #DigitalColonialism #IPTheft
