Ghost Work: The Trauma and Job Loss Hidden Inside AI's Magic

Behind every chatbot lies a human story. Often, a horrifying one.

In this episode, we uncover the invisible world of AI ghost workers-the people paid pennies to sift through the darkest corners of the internet to keep your tech "safe." Think beheading videos, child abuse content, racial slurs, suicide instructions-all reviewed by real people in Nairobi, Manila, Bogotá, and beyond.

These workers face nightmares, flashbacks, and emotional breakdowns just so your chatbot doesn't turn toxic. And just as they're being broken by the machine, they're being replaced by it too.

We ask: What happens when AI's progress is built on invisible suffering? And what does it mean when the machines start taking the jobs of the very people who trained them?

⚠️ This is not a story about the future. This is a story about the price we're already paying.
