For @verge and @NYMag, I spoke with the people teaching the chatbots how to chat theverge.com/features/23764… Behind every AI system is a vast and usually hidden workforce of data annotators: people labeling images, fact-checking chatbots, and writing examples of code. nymag.com/intelligencer/… Image

AI is already changing the way people write, starting with authors of Kindle genre fiction theverge.com/c/23194235/ai-… Writing for Kindle comes with intense pressure to produce, in some cases a novel every few weeks.

My story about NYC delivery workers cited a study by @workersjusticep and @cornellilr. It has a lot of other disturbing data, including that 49% have crashed on the job. Nine have been killed so far this year losdeliveristasunidos.org/ldu-report theverge.com/22667600/deliv… Delivery workers often complain about being sent long distances for tiny orders, particularly fast food. The study found that 77% of workers said most of their orders came from major fast-food chains, with McDonalds, Burger King, Chipotle, and Popeyes among the top offenders.

I wrote about how delivery work in New York has evolved to become extremely fast, dangerous, and precarious, and about how workers are fighting to change things. For @NYMag and @Verge: Apps place all the physical practicalities of actually getting food to customers on the workers, who improvise solutions. They buy e-bikes and use garages for shelter. It’s effective but costly. A fully outfitted bike is about $2500, garages $120 a month. theverge.com/22667600/deliv…

Three years ago, Trump sent Foxconn to Wisconsin. It was supposed to build a world-class manufacturing hub employing 13,000 people. It’s been a disaster. theverge.com/21507966/foxco… Foxconn never had a concrete plan for what to do in the state and has spent the last several years careening from idea to idea (exporting dairy, farming fish, literally anything that would make money). One idea that stalled early was actually making LCDs. theverge.com/21507966/foxco…
