How Humans are Discarded like Garbage by Mega AI Tech Companies - LLM Artificial Intelligence

AI is advancing at lightning speed — faster than even the most educated, tech-savvy professionals can keep up with. While the world celebrates breakthroughs, few talk about the human toll: PhDs and master’s graduates are being hired to “train” AI, only to be discarded once their knowledge is extracted.

First, AI devoured the internet — scraping books, art, news, and code without permission. Now, it’s feeding on living experts. Highly educated raters working for companies like Google, Scale AI, and xAI are being chewed up and spit out.

???? The numbers tell the story:

* Goldman Sachs estimated 300 million jobs worldwide could be affected by AI.
* Google/GlobalLogic contractors, many with advanced degrees, earned just $18–22/hr (about \$37K–45K/year) — less than many fast-food managers.
* In-house “super raters” made slightly more ($28–32/hr) but still faced sudden layoffs.
* In August 2025, 200+ raters were cut from Google’s AI teams in one sweep.
* Meanwhile, fast-food managers earn $55K–60K on average, and in California some make $85K–100K+ running chains like Raising Cane’s.

The absurd reality? Running a burger joint can pay more — and be more stable — than training the AI that will shape humanity’s future.

This video dives deep into how AI is using human knowledge as fuel, then discarding the people who supplied it. It’s a cycle of exploitation: hire → extract → fire → replace. And it’s happening faster than anyone expected.

⚠️ If even PhDs are being discarded, what chance does the rest of the workforce have?
