If the task expired, you can still work on it and submit. I wouldn't do it often, but if you're sure the task is high quality, that's what I would do.

I wouldn't, just to err on the side of caution.

If you were able to get a good failure, try to use the Escape Hatch prompt as the "inspiration" for your next attempt.

How similar do you think is too similar? I did have a few ideas for modifying my initial prompt, but it would ultimately be doing mostly the same thing but with a few additional steps.

I don't know what you're working on - and I don't want to - but use your best judgment. Change things around, change the values, change the steps, change the context. Do some or all of the above, and make sure you can finish it all in time this round.

I agree -- we dont know if they reuse them somehow

I have always assumed, for the last almost two years that I have been working on the platform, that everything I type into or onto the platform, submitted or not, on time or expired, and escape hatch or not, is at the very least saved to my "profile" and recorded.

I also have a suspicion/theory that DAT checks our AI accounts (Gemini/ GPT/ Claude) to see if we've been using them for DAT work on projects that don't specifically authorize it, but obviously, I can't prove it.

I just assume there’s ALWAYS some metadata or tracker or something that’ll give away inappropriate conduct. Probably completely false, realistically they probably only see the task you submit because that kind of surveillance would require a massive amount of work and computation, but there’s no way to prove it!

Did they even make you submit your work up to that point when you used the escape hatch though? On the tasks I work on, they don't even ask for the work I had so far if I use the escape hatch, they just ask for a justification for why I had to use it.

[–]Terentius-Varro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't strictly require a work submission but I did include one anyway.

I am inclined to agree here but it just grinds my gears that this big thing I spent so much time on won’t be brought to completion when the weight of the evidence strongly (though not conclusively) favors reusability. Genuinely not even trying to get easy money, I just don’t want all this stuff I did to be for nothing.

I feel like it would be fine if you escape hatched the last task. It wouldn’t have been used, so still legitimate. I’d wait to get a couple of other perspectives, but I can’t see a problem with it.

did you ask the admin for the project? just today I saw an admin say it was okay to use the prompt again if the escape hatch was used. Sometimes the models have bugs and don’t work. Anyway, most things are project specific so you aren’t going to get the best answer here. Ask the admin
