SCALE AI'S SPAM, SECURITY WOES PLAGUED THE COMPANY WHILE SERVING GOOGLE

Scale AI's long relationship with Google was fraught with lapses in security protocols for at least 11 months between March 2023 and April 2024. Scale AI's efforts to train Google AI programs were meant to be exclusively staffed by experts in various specialties, but the program instead became flooded by spammers who abused the system by submitting transparently shoddy work that managed to evade detection. The spammers were often paid because it was too difficult to detect them due to their sheer numbers.

I FOUGHT IN UKRAINE AND HERE'S WHY FPV DRONES KIND OF SUCK

FPV drones are unmanned aerial vehicles commonly used in the Ukraine war to deliver and detonate explosive charges of up to 1.5 kilograms. While they are touted as a cheap and accessible solution for precision strikes, their actual success rate, when including pre-aborted missions, is between 20 to 30 percent. These drones are rarely successful because they are often more expensive than other options, hard to use, susceptible to electronic interference, and most don't have night-vision capabilities, which is important for a battlefield that's in the dark for 14 hours a day.
