I spent a year inside the content moderation workforce in Nairobi and Manila — the human cost of making AI ā€˜safe’ is a class story nobody wants to tell

The people who teach AI the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable content earn $230 a month in Nairobi and Manila. The companies whose products depend on that labor are worth trillions. This is the class story at the heart of AI safety that the industry would rather not tell.

I’m 37 and I’ve spent my entire adult life being told I’m ā€˜too sensitive’ or ā€˜reading into things’ — but the truth is I notice when people’s tone shifts, when they avoid eye contact, when their kindness feels performative, and I’m exhausted from pretending I don’t see what I see

The first time someone told me I was ā€œtoo sensitive,ā€ I was maybe twelve. I’d pointed out that a family friend seemed upset at dinner even though she was smiling. My mum told me I was reading into things. The family friend called two weeks later to say she’d been going through a divorce. That ... Read more Read more ›

Quote by Robin Williams: ā€œI used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel aloneā€

There was a stretch in my life where I’d come home every evening, sit across from someone I was supposed to be closest to, and feel completely invisible. We’d talk. We’d eat dinner together. We’d go through the motions of a shared life. But something fundamental was missing. And the strangest part? I couldn’t even ... Read more Read more ›

The generation that memorized phone numbers, gave directions using landmarks, and navigated by instinct built a relationship with the physical world that GPS and contact lists have made impossible to develop — and the thing they lost wasn’t convenience, it was a form of spatial intelligence that made them participants in their environment instead of passengers

They knew their world like the back of their hand—every shortcut, every phone number, every landmark—but what they really possessed was a form of embodied intelligence that turned mere geography into lived experience, transforming them from tourists in their own lives into natives of a world they could navigate with their eyes closed.

There’s a type of person who can hear one sentence from a stranger and know exactly what kind of household they grew up in. They’re not psychic. They were just raised in a home where reading people accurately was the difference between a calm evening and a terrible one.

People who can read strangers with uncanny accuracy aren't gifted — they were trained by childhood environments where detecting shifts in mood was a survival skill, and the cost of that training follows them into every room they enter as adults. Read more ›

Not everyone who keeps a clean house is organized. Some of them learned as children that mess attracted criticism, and now they live in spotless apartments that feel more like evidence of vigilance than peace.

Not all clean homes are expressions of preference. For some people, spotlessness is a childhood surveillance system that never got deactivated, and the immaculate apartment is less a sign of order than a monument to vigilance. Read more ›
