MEET THE JOURNALISTS TRAINING AI MODELS FOR META AND OPENAI

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Journalists are being recruited by companies like Outlier, owned by Scale AI, to train LLMs for tech giants like Meta and OpenAI. These platforms offer remote, flexible gig work where journalists use their writing, research, and fact-checking skills to improve AI model accuracy. Some journalists see this trend as contributing to the obsolescence of their profession, while others view it as a way to gain knowledge about AI and adapt to the changing world.
