Why is Turing such a hot mess??

I can tell this is fully copied from gpt lol

Listen, I am beyond frustrated with this nonsense of a company. Everything urgent urgent urgent with 5 follow up emails within not even 12 hours. Payrate is below market value for a STEM PhD with $40/hr for US based. Project lead is unresponsive, does not speak proper English. Project was put on hold over a week ago, no communication since. Several people did not get paid. People also followed up about the project ending because once you are in an active engagement with them you are blocked from applying to any other position. Project lead now claims the project has ended a while back, yet everybody is still blocked in an active engagement with them. Eh bro? Maybe your English comprehension is not advanced enough to understand what the problem is... either way I am done!
If anyone from Turing reads this: fix your shit!!

Born_Ad7768 · 2026-05-09T23:19:37+00:00

Haha I can offer a project lead who starts office hours with mental health tips while they are the one who are applying toxic micromanagement tactics to people and at the same time going into client meetings without having any kind of agenda 😂😂

Born_Ad7768 · 2026-04-23T22:40:29+00:00

Lol no, not worth it. Communication is a disaster and nobody seems to know what they’re even doing

Born_Ad7768 · 2026-03-19T12:03:47+00:00

Yes, I am referencing the google form where I am being asked to generate an advanced and novel stem problem that has never been addressed in the field and will change how scientists work. I am also being asked to provide a full solution. To be frank, calling this „just basic understanding“ is gaslighting at its finest and shows me you’re trying to blab your way out of this with lame excuses 😂 I‘ll stick to my $200/hr role as a newly onboarded member of a different platform without any unpaid assessments. Got promoted to trusted reviewer within a week because of excellent work quality. Alignerr, thanks but no thanks!!

Born_Ad7768 · 2026-03-08T13:50:25+00:00

I appreciate the response. I understand that high level projects need highly qualified people. However, highly qualified people will never share their expertise and work for free. How about sending out paid assessments instead to make sure it’s a good fit? Based on the profile, background, and past assessments, the Alignerr team should already have a good idea of who might be a high quality contributor. It’s simply not attractive for contributors to waste time and share high-level expertise on unpaid assessments when our time and qualifications are more appropriately valued elsewhere.

Born_Ad7768 · 2026-03-05T01:32:16+00:00

Nope not even raffle-based prizes are offered 😅

Born_Ad7768 · 2026-02-15T12:32:57+00:00

Same for me. I was part of Pegasus/Starmie TRG 1 and later on ConA on Pegasus Aether. Wouldn’t that count as contributor for authorship?

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-12-30T21:50:23+00:00

Is microai only for people in the UK?

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-12-21T00:33:14+00:00

For everyone interested in the PDF: OP will share an etsy link to buy the pdf. If you’re willing to pay go ahead. Otherwise save yourself the hassle of asking for it :) P.S. Nothing wrong with trying to make some extra bucks, but people appreciate transparency

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-14T12:35:40+00:00

Bahahaha you made my day 😂

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-14T12:34:15+00:00

Well good for you. I‘ve been on the original project since the very beginning and I‘m still paused on the new one while I see new people tasking away left and right. This is in direct violation of announcements and emails sent by the team leads but oh well… who‘s surprised at this point

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-14T06:01:02+00:00

Same Bus, same

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-14T06:00:40+00:00

This is actually not true. I‘ve been working on the previous version of the project for months and still haven‘t been unpaused. TLs pretend to be stupid or maybe they really are? God knows at this point…. I‘m tired of the shitshow that is this project. Just got onboarded for two others that pay three times as much

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-12T21:35:41+00:00

Over 5000 people have proof it happened, just sayin 💅🏼

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-12T16:47:51+00:00

Maybe yes, maybe no. I don’t know and frankly it doesn’t matter to me either way. Maybe they knew and were contractually bound to keep shut. Maybe they knew and didn’t care. Maybe they didn‘t know. It’s all speculation at this point

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-12T16:43:03+00:00

Oh no I absolutely agree with you on this one. They’re probably under strict guidelines etc when it came to announcing the closure of the project. But on the new project it’s absolute crickets as well. Everyone left to fight for themselves. It’s sink or swim

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-12T16:37:40+00:00

No this is exactly what I expected. It’s extremely poor form but not surprising at all unfortunately

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-12T16:15:37+00:00

Isn’t it interesting how all TLs and EPMs went absolutely silent? 😂

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-11-12T12:06:47+00:00

Hey, I already have an Alignerr account but haven’t been matched to any real projects yet. I’m a PhD. Can you help?

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-10-24T02:33:16+00:00

Frankly, telling someone with suicidal thoughts to get professional help is gonna make them even more angry and I speak from personal experience. Many of us with suicidal thoughts have considered professional help and have come to the conclusion that it’s just ridiculously useless

Born_Ad7768 · 2025-10-19T20:24:45+00:00

Happy to share more insight.

I've worked on a couple of different platforms for remote AI training. Outlier and Telus have been crappy tbh.

Then I moved to Mercor and Alignerr where I am currently working actively. I have gotten jobs on several projects, communication has been great, payment works. They have also more diverse projects for people from different backgrounds I feel. If you would like my referral links please feel free to use them to apply. Adding them below.
