that's what the so-called "social justice warriors" would be calling for here. OpenAI will be making hundreds of billions on this product and should pay the workers who do all the labor a generous wage with humane working conditions no matter where they live.
Additionally, workers here were actually traumatized by the work itself, so much so that the contractor itself cancelled the job eight months early (!). So this is not really ethical and kudos to this article for highlighting the social injustice that OpenAI is apparently built upon. A sweatshop is a sweatshop and US companies ideally should not be profiting from them.
