1) Pourquoi DeepSeek aurait été si performant pour une fraction du coût de Chat-GPT? Il faudrait jeter un oeil du côté du... cheap labor (généralisé dans le monde de l'IA faut-il le rappeler, c'est vraiment peu connu). Nouveau mémo du Diplab par @casilli.bsky.social diplab.eu/diplab-relea...

How does DeepSeek's hype reflect the AI industry, national strategies, and hidden human costs? In our new DiPLab policy memo, we offer recommendations for navigating inflated claims from tech giants, unaccountable governments, and ambitious startups.

Google, Meta, and Co. are developing AI companions mimicking emotions. Is delegating human connection to machines worth the risk? What's the cost of machines “with a soul”?
Register here and join me for a new DiPLab seminar with philosopher Evan Selinger on May 23 at 5pm.

DeepSeek: "matches ChatGPT's capabilities
for just 1% of the cost" Translation? Government-subsidized data-labor hubs in tier-3 Chinese cities. Human annotators don’t run on electricity alone. Sure, it’s cheap, but at what cost?

En 1950 Turing invente le Test du même nom. Dans le même texte il imagine aussi une IA comme une "machine-enfant" qui apprend, ressent, souffre. Le 23 mai à Paris, Evan Selinger explorera cet héritage dans notre séminaire DiPLab. 17h, Maison de la Recherche. Inscription👉 tinyurl.com/diplab-selin...

Another "AI" company faces fraud charges, as Filipino workers powered its app. #DiPLab has been documenting cases like this since 2027. Not just small startups cutting corners: Google, Amazon have been caught doing it. Not just a few rotten apples, either. This 💩 is systematic.

🚨In today's French newspaper Libération, I speak about an important aspect of the research we've conducted with #DiPLab over the last few years: what are the career prospects for AI workers? Let's stop calling them "unskilled" and acknowledge their qualifications. www.liberation.fr/societe/peti...
