Next was “Feeding the Machine” by @jmuldoon, Mark Graham and Callum Cant, who deliver a rigorous sociological review of all of the labor that drives the modern AI ecosystem, centering the exploitative and psychologically damaging conditions of data labelers. The deep investigations here show both the costs of our current model of AI development. Highly recommend

Last was “Corporate Crops” by Gabriela Pechlaner. This is an incredible sociological and legal dive into the corporate crop Industry, analyzing its effects on farmers, how governments and the courts have strengthened industry's power, and the systemic effects that the rise of this method of farming is creating.
