The pay is not even close to the most outrageous way to headline this article: it uses "toxic" as a euphemism for, e.g., not generating CSAM, rape, and other sexual violence.
IMO, the headline ignores the crux of the article: that OpenAI contracted with this company to collect and label data for "a safety system" that would classify and filter out "child sexual abuse, bestiality, murder, suicide, torture, self harm, and incest." In the course of doing that, workers were (naturally) exposed to source data in those categories from the internet until the contracting company cancelled the contract.
> The data labelers employed by Sama on behalf of OpenAI were paid a take-home wage of between around $1.32 and $2 per hour depending on seniority and performance.
I didn't technically buy a Sodastream, but it's been a great addition. We used to regularly buy pads of Lacroix from Costco. Now it's just the plain fizzy water (with occasional home-made flavor experiments).
I'm a pointy-toed runner. When Saucony stopped producing my favorite zero-drop shoes (the Virrata), I bought a pair of Altras but ended up donating them after two short runs because it felt like I was wearing clown shoes thanks to that that broad toe-box.
That said, I definitely appreciate that the running apparel market has expanded to accommodate the broad diversity of human shapes and sizes.
Is it possible that your new employer has prioritized making accommodations for folks with ADHD, leading to more of them joining? Many companies don't have a compatible environment/culture.
Regardless, I should have included the phrase "depictions of" or similar.
