Every now and again I have to stop and remind myself that Google has an entire battalion of people rating search results.

@researchbuzz So much digital work is on the backs of people being destroyed with it. Gig work is the public face, the tip of the iceberg!

@molly0xfff You could collect them together on a website called (just spitballing here) something like "llmsaregoinggreat.com".

@molly0xfff - Reminds me of Expensify's "SmartScan" that claimed a machine scanned your receipt automatically and pulled out all the info for you.

It was just uploading all of your receipts to be publicly looked at and piecemeal transcribed by workers overseas.

@tinker @molly0xfff …I ALWAYS suspected this. The lag time never made sense

@molly0xfff To me that's worse. They knew they wouldn't get any attention for their crap, so they invoked a beloved dead comedian and a hot technology. Disgusting.

@researchbuzz @molly0xfff When the spiritualist movement was at its height, it was not uncommon to see publications by mediums claiming to be channeling the spirit of a beloved late author or composer. The story of Jap Herron, a novel claimed to be by Mark Twain as channeled by mediums Emily Grant Hutchings and Lola Hayes, bears more than a little resemblance to the recent George Carlin case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jap_Herron
