Scale AI: Mastered the art of not-quitting, just breaking.

It appears Scale AI has truly outdone itself, moving beyond mere data annotation to pioneering software capable of discerning the precise stress point at which a human contractor will break, but not quite quit. Sources – entirely fictional, naturally – suggest their new proprietary AI system, playfully codenamed 'Optimal Resource Allocator 3000' (ORA-3K), has achieved unprecedented efficiency in identifying exactly how much unpaid overtime an individual can endure before considering legal action.

This groundbreaking technology promises to revolutionize the gig economy by eliminating the costly guesswork traditionally associated with maximizing labor output while minimizing compensation. No longer will businesses have to rely on crude, human-led methods of employee classification or salary negotiation; ORA-3K provides data-driven insights into the optimal misclassification strategy, ensuring peak profitability. One can only imagine the sheer brilliance of an algorithm that learns from past "misunderstandings" with independent contractors to prevent future, equally costly, "misunderstandings." It’s a remarkable leap forward for anyone looking to optimize their balance sheet at the expense of human dignity.
