Exactly right: concerns about minimum wage are misplaced when the workers are foreigners. CloudFactory in Nepal pays workers about $1/hour (disclaimer: visited them, think they're cool, no other affiliation). Terrible for US workers, more than being a high school teacher in Nepal.

What concerns me more is how all these systems are difficult to use and built for humans to complete tasks. The next revolution should be letting programmers use AIs.

The next revolution should be letting programmers use AIs.

Because the only thing stopping them from using AI is that they aren't allowed to?

I should have been more precise by adding in that marketplace.

Last I checked, MTurk disallowed non-human workers, and that's holding back a lot of potential progress, IMNSHO.

I think he's referring to how mturk and other things like it don't allow the use of AIs, it has to be an actual person.
