Wages aren’t set arbitrarily, they are set by market rates.
They could pay $30, but they’d rather have those people do more productive time than waste their skills labeling stuff. Paying skilled people to do unskilled work is a recipe for sadness and depression.
Why not suggest they pay $200/hour. I mean OpenAI has the money, right? $15 is high pay to sit at a console and label stuff. People literally make the same for cooking burgers and most retail jobs pay less. And these jobs don’t require a lot of training or skill, that’s why they pay so low.
”They’d rather have” has nothing to do with though. They do it because they can and want to. Obviously those cooking burgers or working in retail would deserve to earn more but if even ”new”, ”revolutionary” companies won’t do it, there’s really no hope.
