Not all the way. At the bottom are a bunch of unpaid writers and artists and a horde of low-paid mturk workers in Nigeria.

That's ok. AI will kill those off soon enough, and like all winners, rewrite history enough so that that inconvenient theft never happened anyway. It's manifest destiny, or something.

I love this comment. It made me laugh.

    > mturk workers in Nigeria
Serious question: Has anyone tested how much money you can actually make doing a month of Amazon Mechanical Turk? (It would make for an interesting YouTube video!) I am curious if it is middle class wages in very poor countries (like Nigeria). Some light Googling tells me that middle class salary in Nigeria is about 6K USD, so about 3 USD/hour (assuming: 50 weeks/year * 40 hours/week = 2000 hours/year). Is this possible with MTurk?
