Remember in the movie Elysium there's a machine that scans you and immediately determines what wrong? Well, the guy that founded Spotify (Daniel Ek) is trying to create something similar.

Nice article on ScaleAI, which creates the sweat shops of the AI world. We all need labeled data, and companies are willing to pay for it.

Someone's gotta do it. Those data aren't going to label themselves, you know.
