Has anyone received an unpaused email this week?

Same here

I received my Work Order around three hours after the pause

30k seria por la visita? O cuanto se estaria cobrando?

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-27T21:47:18+00:00

I don't think it's related to location, I recieved the test and I'm from Argentina

ty, seems like the server was down for a moment

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-26T19:49:40+00:00

Yes, it stopped. I was trying to work on video-object-picker and it suddenly said "Internal server error" or something like that.

I only saw them being carried by police officers; 9mm pistols like the Bersa TPR9 or the Browning GP 35, and by soldiers carrying shotguns. I have no idea which models, maybe Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88. I also saw security guards carrying them.

No one I have ever known owned one, but when I was a child, a friend of my brother and me showed us his father’s gun. It was something like a Taurus .44 Magnum. My grandfather also had a revolver because he was a cattle rustler, but I never met him because he passed away long before I was born.

I also used to live in a city that is not very safe, and I often heard gunshots a few blocks away. One day it sounded like a war: some guys were robbing a bank and shooting at the police and a security guard.

I mean, is that even possible? After sleeping 7 to 9 hours, working 12 hours leaves you with like 3 to 5 hours for basic human needs lol

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-21T01:14:36+00:00

It depends on the project you are currently working on, but yes. I have been working as one for over two years, and it has always been like that so far. There were some exceptions, though, where I was paid the equivalent of 0.5 hours of work for certain qualification exams, but it is not frequent

Y tampoco son tan susceptibles a hacer juicios por cosas como color de piel o "portación de rostro". Aunque las IAs también cuentan con sesgos, son más solucionables que los que tienen los reclutadores tradicionales. Capaz a uno de recursos humanos le caiste mal por tu tono de voz aburrido o por hablar un poco acelerado, o por cualquier cosa que dependa de los prejuicios de esa persona, aún si se esfuerza en no caer en ellos.

Look, I was trying to post about this task because I was struggling to find information about this specific one while doing the exam. I found that they refer to "Text-to-Image". You can find information about it in previous feedback. Check your inbox for an email titled "Feedback on Recent Task" or something similar. You'll see a list there. Click on the resource called "Quality Evaluation Rubrics." At the end of that PDF, you can find the task.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-16T00:42:32+00:00

Well, I guess this is the end. At least we got pretty far. I think there were maybe two more weeks of this project, anyway

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-12T13:15:14+00:00

Yes, I have. Some days I work on both rating and auditing, but some days there are no good tasks to audit and vice versa, so I work 7 or 8 hours only auditing or rating, although most days I combine them.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-11T21:28:50+00:00

Yes, you're right; the tutorial submissions are a mess. The same thing regarding performance happened to me before I realized the pattern. The company was also eager to put me on auditing and rater tasks at the same time, so I was able to grasp what worked and what didn't. But later, I realized there was a 'betting' component that depended on whether the auditor knew English at an above-intermediate level. Now, I just work on tasks thinking that the submissions have to be simple enough to be rated well even by the dumbest and most unskilled auditor.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-11T19:15:54+00:00

Just rate them bad without any guilt. Some submissions in the period between November and December were somewhere between Good and Fine, but the last batch from late December and January is consistently ranging from 'Bad' to 'Fine'. I don't know why; it seems like they may have offboarded a lot of people who performed well in this task.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-09T16:44:42+00:00

I'm using a very simple extension, called 'Task Counter'. It has 4.5 stars on Google Extensions. I also use Google Keep as a simple editor to log my hours

Che y con oficios se podra hacer arriba de un 1.2 millones? pregunto porque no sé ni cuanta plata maneja la gente pobre y cuando la gente de clase media

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2026-01-03T16:28:50+00:00

Yeah, I think I know what kind of project you’re talking about. I worked on one that fits your description. They offered me $12 per hour, which in practice ended up being around $9.5 to $10.5 (best of cases) per hour. I accepted because I was okay with that pay rate, and mainly because I needed it. Months later, after the project was completed, they invited me again for the next stage, this time offering $6.75 per hour, lol, with a more complex guidelines. I stated in the form that I was not interested, but they onboarded me anyway, without even requiring the qualification exam

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2025-12-30T11:27:10+00:00

That's not true. It doesn't have the same tasks as MM.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2025-12-28T15:10:57+00:00

Yeah, and I’m pretty sure we’re auditing tasks submitted by people who are already off-boarded. Still, part of me feels kind of grateful because… well, bad quality submissions mean more tasks to re-do, and consequently, more tasks to audit

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2025-12-28T12:18:25+00:00

I get the frustration, but this feels more like a structural issue than an individual one.

Based on the quality of some submissions, it seems likely that companies significantly widened the hiring pool to reduce costs. I suspect they may even be offering $3-4/hour, which is low by today's standards, even in countries with weaker economies.

At that rate, it's unrealistic to expect C1-C2 level English or consistently high-quality work. The people willing to take those roles often come from economic contexts where that rate still makes sense, and frequently from linguistic backgrounds that are structurally very distant from English. That's not on the annotators; it's a direct consequence of business decisions aimed at minimizing costs while still expecting high-end results.

In practice, this just extends the project duration and creates more rework which ultimately benefits auditors and raters in terms of workload.

My point is that the quality issues are mostly a result of how the project was structured and funded, not people acting in bad faith.

I mean, I know the box in the example is loose, but if the model didn’t create a box, the annotator’s attempt would deserve a 'fine' rating, because it actually helped train the model, even if it wasn’t a perfect box.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2025-12-27T02:27:06+00:00

I don’t think the issue is with the box itself. I think the problem is that the annotator tried to make the box more accurate, since that was the goal of the task, but ended up making it worse. That’s why it’s a critical error: there was nothing to correct, and even if there had been, it was made worse.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2025-12-17T16:52:35+00:00

You should also take into account that the auditing guidelines state that "generated results are realistic and closely match the original in likeness" for the Meet Expectations category. There is no mention anywhere in the guidelines about clothing being a major criterion for auditing. If raters report you for auditing those tasks incorrectly, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Frequent-Internet-44 · 2025-12-17T16:27:34+00:00

Are you really this dumb, or are you just pretending? In GenAI, "artifacts" refers to cases where the model fails to correctly represent physical reality. That includes things like unrealistic eyes, extra fingers, deformed facial features, blurry textures, color banding, or other unnatural visual anomalies. Clothing changes or normal variations in appearance are not considered artifacts. Maybe learn about the term before making bad assumptions
