"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"

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.

"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."

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.
