I've been involved in Computer Vision for a long time now (in a third world country). I was part of a team that built an internal product similar to Scale AI (data-labelling) around 3, 4 years before these guys. This was an internal product that was never intended for public release. What Scale AI did was something everyone was already doing in silos, i.e. exploiting workers for data labelling. The only difference is that he made a service out of it. Whereas others only did it for their own companies (internal-only). This is often not discussed when people talk about the dark side of Scale AI. The guy didn't invent the dark side, it already existed, he just capitalised on it better (cuz silicon valley).
Hi. I’m impressed to hear that you’ve been involved in computer vision for years. Please let’s get in touch. I have some projects I need to process with computer vision and machine learning. I’m willing to pay for your services

I don't usually comment but I feel obliged to say, thank you so so much for this! I was always very interested in scale ai but I didn't understand what they really did and I couldn't find anyone explaining what they did exactly. This video was sufficiently comprehensive and even addressed things that I didn't even know were happening like the dark side of scale ai. I also liked that you explained things like APIs in a very understandable way with good examples which was also something that I didn't see a lot. If I could give any advice, I'd say I'd prefer if there was less stock photos and more slides like at 1:58 which was a visual but also explanatory but that might be a personal preference for me.Either way, keep up the good work!

Can someone explain how one line of code could do all the manual work> Not sure how exactly how that works. In general, the idea is simple but don't understand how they executed so well so early on.
if by SAAS you mean Software as a Service, then kind of. They do provide software to help companies build their AI and LLMs like Spellbook. But I see them more of a service-based company (at least for now) where they help annotate, curate, and collect companies' data to power their own AI applications. As for your 2nd question, they kind of were an ML agency. More like they provided taskers on demand for things like content moderation, data labeling, etc. Not specifically for AI, then pivoted to focus on AI once there was a huge demand for it. Glad you found this video insightful!
I would say they are a combination of both SaaS and consulting firm similar to Palantir. If you have a unique use case, they can tailor their pipelines to your needs given you shell out the $$. I think their end goal is pure SaaS where they sell their labeling models to companies.
It's inferable from watching Alex's Ted talk that ethics is not first priority. However, I would agree with him that Scale's business model is equivalent to selling mining supplies.
I work as a freelancer for Scale (remotask), and while there are certainly challenges with the international workers, including a lot of scammers, the American workers are generally paid fairly. However, the platform we work on can be quite chaotic and to note that pay varies depending on your state and workers profile, with Scale paying at least the minimum wage across the board.

Today I find out this channel!! When I entered the channel, I was surprised that it was new!!! Your speaking way is exciting and rly good!! abt the scale ai I am a very interested in the Forbes billionaire list and follow their updates about the youngest rich in the world. I used to see Alexandr Wang as a creative person cuz he is self-made at such young age and not the same as those Currently on the list at 2023 like the two young Korean girls who inherited a gaming company after their dad death or the 17 year old boy who is Italian family heir and he become billionaire after his dad death too , but Remotasks it really shocked me It's a disappointment
Thanks for your comment! Yes i just started this channel. and the Forbes list was authentic at first, but now it's more about who you know and politics. Def lost its credibility over the years.
Humans label things that will change in a few years. AI is trained on the past, things always change (what if the gov decide to change the shape of the pedestrian lines?)
It's Fiverr for AI data - it has virtually nothing to do with AI itself. It's like having a coal mine and saying you're in the steam train business because the trains burn coal.
If it "REALLY WAS AI" it would be able to recognize the data and "categorize" (label) it itself. Just how many "labels" are there, how many "bins" are used to determine which "bin" the data belongs in. In the end it is just a sophisticated electronic "filing cabinet" and not any form of "intelligence", artificial or otherwise. Will it create any new ideas???
i'm pretty sure that's what Scale is planning to do. But, they need to hire humans to do that now to train their own models to eventually AI the AI. It'll take some time for this to happen though
@@DarkModeDigest Having been involved is the installation of several corporate data systems, and even creating fundamental design specs for the inhouse IT to built systems. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE, putting labels on the data so it was stored in a way that the software would produce reports that had some meaning. And this was so even when it was an accounting system, a plant maintenance management system, a parts and materials management system etc. There was no two people that could agree on a naming or categorizing system for the data, and then even the people actually entering the data had their own ideas about what "category" code to place a transaction data in. This got even worse when there were two or three levels of categories used to classify the transaction data. Then for years there has been all these promises of IT data "analysis" and "reporting". Implying that the data did not have to be "pre-structured" and "categorized" for IT to produce "meaningful reporting". Is that just a big BS S**t Pile???
No matter how much these AI companies and application collect data from end user and train their model, the moment we stop using mobile and other smart devices these AI model and Application will be of no use.
This is true. But, we’ll never stop using them. Humanity is increasingly becoming more and more online. Unless we have an apocalyptic occurrence, we’ll continue to use our devices and be on the internet. Its too ingrained in our lives now to stop
Cool, how does it get its Big Data though? It doesn't have Tesla's recording paths and objects?I guess he has people to manually label things for Tesla? God bless.
Good question. My guess is a combination of acquiring them through open-source and everything on the internet, as well as paying data companies. Now, they prob get a solid amount of data from their clients as well. Then, they use their labelers to annotate and make use of the data.
Did not expect to see a human being being bombed in a tech video. You shouldn't use b-roll that spicy, especially when isn't needed to tell the story of ScaleAI.
You're right i shouldn't have done that. I apologize for that. i got carried away with trying to show real clips of war that i didn't think about the sensitivity of the clip.
“You don’t get to a billion dollars company without some shady stuff happening behind the scenes” - that’s a stupid statement. You are young and obviously don’t realize that Scale will soon replace most of its low-cost labor with AI automation. Based on your statements you don’t believe this is possible, so you will have to just wait and watch what happens and be surprised. I have been in AI since the early 90’s and DL for almost 9 years.
@@vicenteraulfernandezcastan7871heard a lot of people complain about poor working conditions for little pay. They promise you certain pay but don't actually deliver on promises
paying your employees $1/hr is altruistic. You're just giving them an option. These people would be working for free or less than $1/hr otherwise because if they could make more than $1/hr, they would just do that. Capitalism 101.

stop it with this AI will be sentient sooner than you think speak. Not only is it overdone its incredibly untrue. AI is essentially a glorified guesser that takes inputs and maps them to an output. Yes its incredibly powerful but also incredibly ignorant into what its learning and doing. So please for the love of god stop talking about AI in such a manner and stop quoting Elon Musk cause believe it or not, a man that hasn't done any formal research into AI and is too busy tanking two of his companies is not a reliable source.

Can Scale AI scale the growing poverty in the world?
i think you mean help with reducing poverty?
@@DarkModeDigest Yes, my idol, "help" is the right word.
Imagine america nukes your country. then you go and improve its military like a simp.
Did not expect to see a human being being bombed in a tech video. You shouldn't use b-roll that spicy, especially when isn't needed to tell the story of ScaleAI.
time stamp?

You're right i shouldn't have done that. I apologize for that. i got carried away with trying to show real clips of war that i didn't think about the sensitivity of the clip.
Not that big a deal dude, I honestly didn’t even notice it

“You don’t get to a billion dollars company without some shady stuff happening behind the scenes” - that’s a stupid statement. You are young and obviously don’t realize that Scale will soon replace most of its low-cost labor with AI automation. Based on your statements you don’t believe this is possible, so you will have to just wait and watch what happens and be surprised. I have been in AI since the early 90’s and DL for almost 9 years.
Still, if u want to be a billionaire u have to do shady things, that’s facts man
Just like Uber replaced its drivers with Self Driving Cars.
boy that company a real scam they promise you 45 h an hour only to get cents later on or nothing. stick to real job fellassss

@@DarkModeDigest Why? Please explaine more about it. I've just been accepted to work for them.
@@vicenteraulfernandezcastan7871heard a lot of people complain about poor working conditions for little pay. They promise you certain pay but don't actually deliver on promises
Goofy to wine about “less than a dollar a day.” Some people/areas a few dollars a day is livable wage. World is not beverly hills 🙄

thank you! appreciate the love 🙌
paying your employees $1/hr is altruistic. You're just giving them an option. These people would be working for free or less than $1/hr otherwise because if they could make more than $1/hr, they would just do that. Capitalism 101.
This is true. But i'd also argue that the company has a responsibility to treat its employees (even contractors) fairly. These are people working for you. But unfortunately, many companies don't. This is indeed capitalism 101.
@@DarkModeDigest what does that even mean lol? Treating employees 'fairly'? Only people who have never made a deal in their life use a term like that. At the end of the day, we make deals with people. If you don't like the deal, you can decide not to take it, or leave. 'Fair' is subjective and nonsensical.
@@geneherald8169 Things like providing a little better work environment or paying a little bit more. But I agree with you at the end of the day it's business. As a worker, you're choosing to work for these companies.
@@DarkModeDigest I know the smaller the communities, a socialist mindset is better which is largely why people have it. But frankly this trend in the West towards socialism needs to stop. People are brainwashed. A good resource is 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harrari, chapter 16, 'the capitalist creed'.
This aside, I appreciate the hard work you put into this video, we need more of that in this country.
@@geneherald8169 I appreciate your comments and thoughts. I will look into Sapiens! :)
Sounds like a glorified manual labour hiring company.
HA right! But in all seriousness, they are more than that. They have a whole annotation service as well as a whole platform for LLM apps
So not just manual labor hiring :)
the president of ch1na is coming for him. haha!
lol maybe

What happened?
You can't have an oppinion on the work conditions unless you speak with someone who's been there
i spoke to a few people. And many have commented here about their experience as well :)
Welcome to capitalism

All this anti-china rhetoric when many American innovators are of Chinese descent, It's hilarious.
stop it with this AI will be sentient sooner than you think speak. Not only is it overdone its incredibly untrue. AI is essentially a glorified guesser that takes inputs and maps them to an output. Yes its incredibly powerful but also incredibly ignorant into what its learning and doing. So please for the love of god stop talking about AI in such a manner and stop quoting Elon Musk cause believe it or not, a man that hasn't done any formal research into AI and is too busy tanking two of his companies is not a reliable source.
I’m not saying this at all.
