Ah yes, Sama, I knew I'd heard that name before. The same Sama that paid its workers $2 an hour to be traumatised through tasks like labelling of harmful images, up to and not limited to '“C3” images (including bestiality, rape, and sexual slavery,) and “V3” images depicting graphic detail of death, violence or serious physical injury'.

This was under a contract for OpenAI, which was paying Sama $12.50 an hour for the work.
