Toujours rappeler que derrière l'IA il y a de gros investissements en capital mais aussi une utilisation massive d'emplois à très bas salaires pour les entraîner.

Sur l’autre app, à quelques heures de la diffusion de notre documentaire "Les sacrifiés de l’IA" sur France 2, un énergumène isolé déroule tout le catalogue des grands classiques pro-IA. C’en est presque attendrissant.

1) Pourquoi DeepSeek aurait été si performant pour une fraction du coût de Chat-GPT? Il faudrait jeter un oeil du côté du... cheap labor (généralisé dans le monde de l'IA faut-il le rappeler, c'est vraiment peu connu). Nouveau mémo du Diplab par @casilli.bsky.social diplab.eu/diplab-relea...

Remember when Google revealed the same thing, but called it Duplex, with great fanfare back in May 2018? And then in May 2019, the NYT revealed the calls were mostly made by humans? I guess we'll just have to wait and see when the other shoe drops.
