A production studies approach enables us to focus on the working conditions of paid trolls. We employed qualitative methods to look inside the “black box” of Arab troll farms. From February to April 2020, we conducted semi-structured interviews with eight disinformation workers at both managerial and staff levels. We propose to understand disinformation work as a specific type of digital labor, characterized by very intense shifts and emotionally burdensome daily tasks, absence of legal job contracts, and highly surveilled work environments. The article contributes to understand disinformation practices outside and beyond the West; it situates disinformation activities within the broader context of digital media industries; it provides a detailed analysis of the features that distinguish troll farms in the Arab world from those that emerged in other regions of the Global South; and it reconnects the research on disinformation to digital labor studies."</p><p><a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20563051231224713" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/</span><span class="invisible">10.1177/20563051231224713</span></a></p>

Dead End<p>What a doozy.<br>New chatGPT revelations.</p><p>Kenyan workers paid less than $2/p/h were required to read through large tracts of harmful and abusive content, in order to label and teach the AI what was bad:</p><p>“To get those labels, OpenAI sent tens of thousands of snippets of text to an outsourcing firm in Kenya, beginning in November 2021. Much of that text appeared to have been pulled from the darkest recesses of the internet. Some of it described situations in graphic detail like child sexual abuse, bestiality, murder, suicide, torture, self harm, and incest.”</p><p>The hiring company to which this work was outsourced claims to be about ‘ethical AI’ and boasts of having lifted people out of poverty.
