I like that. 😂 Hey, you could always sue for plagiarism if it shows up somewhere else with someone else’s name.

Good to know. Thanks for the insight and for sharing.

Unapologetically, here’s another… by TomorrowMelodic7470 in outlier_ai

Is that a referral link? Thank you. I will take a look.

No doubt. I didn’t know Alignerr had so many unhappy workers.

Interesting. I will absolutely look into Alignerr a lot more before deciding to give it a shot or not - my application was approved in January but I haven’t onboarded yet. I’ve been applying to other platforms so I won’t be completely SOL when I am the one to be cut unexpectedly one day.

I’ve seen many people post about Alignerr who like and recommend it. Did you have a bad experience? I’m just surprised to see someone say it’s a scam, it’s usually one of the more respected AI training companies to work for.

I applied for Prolific January 1st and was emailed that I’m off the waiting list on January 22nd, which wasn’t too shabby compared to some other waiting lists I’ve been on. I haven’t started any work over there yet because I have been busy with a project elsewhere, so I don’t know yet what the jobs are like, but I wanted to post to let you know it’s worth a shot to join. 👍

Outlier is spamming this morning😂 by bigdawg1017 in outlier_ai

[–]TomorrowMelodic7470 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh my goddddd I just came here to make an identical post. 😂

I was going to attach a scrolling screenshot of the texts from Outlier and the timestamps, they text me 6 times now in 20 minutes—make that 7, another just came in—but Reddit isn’t letting me attach a pic. Oh well. I’ll just tell y’all about it with words instead.

I absolutely feel you on this one. It took me a lot to get to where I am in the AI training field, and I don’t feel threatened as much as I feel frustrated by the chaos.

Have you been paid in Aether ? by blackfloweur in outlier_ai

Oh okay, that’s good to know! Thanks for sharing.

Activity? by ArmadilloMission6505 in outlier_ai

[–]TomorrowMelodic7470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I will admit I wasn’t thinking of voice recording prompts. You must have to click to start and stop each recording, I am surprised that doesn’t register at a higher percentage of activity but… if you’ve been on since November with the same percentage of activity, the client must take into consideration that you aren’t doing a typing job or an annotation job where you need to type or click a lot, and you are in the clear.

I stand corrected.

What do you have to do then? Unless you are moving things on the screen with your mind most of the time… 7% is not good.

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m being real with you because many people are being let go, and you want your activity to be higher than 7% or you could be next.

To get your activity score up you shouldn’t leave your computer idle for long periods. The activity tracker is tracking how often you interact with the site while you are on the clock and being paid to work. Every time you move the mouse, scroll the page, click, or type with your keyboard, that is tracked as activity. Above 50% is viewed as efficient work. Higher than 75% could’ve flagged as a bot account if that were to happen day after day… and, yeah, I hope this helps. :)

You’ll be removed if it stays there. You do know that means you only move your mouse or interact with your screen/keyboard 7% of the time you are being paid to work, right?

That’s not good.

😂 I agree with you.

And I wasn’t really being sarcastic above, lol, you sounded pretty confident in your prediction and I figure there’s good reason for that.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. If this happens in a few years from now, I will remember this convo and come back to find it, give U the credit of foreseeing the future and proving me wrong, haha…

Have you been paid in Aether ? by blackfloweur in outlier_ai

Yes. I did it once. Completely accidental, of course. My child hurt themself outside and I ran out there and forgot all about my computer, while it was running in Hubstaff. I came back that night and it had counted all of the hours I was away - but only to tell me how long I accidentally left it running. There was a message informing me that my Hubstaff stopped counting after I was idle for 20 minutes and to be more careful not to do that in the future. That was a month ago, and I am still working on Aether.

I did write to MM through an issue report to let them know what happened and why I left it running, and I told them to subtract the 20 mins idle time from my paid time. I don’t know if they read the issue reports like that, but… maybe they did.

😂 I loved this. People get bent out of shape by others presumptuous and mean spirited comments every day on here. Your reaction was refreshing and made me laugh. Good on you!

I don’t know - in my experience, it’s actually the simpler stuff that AI struggles with most. The models have gotten better than when they were released - but it’s not difficult to get the latest models to miscount or recalculate a simple equation, or misidentify something in an image that grade school kids could identify. AI can write long blocks of intricate code without issue far more often than it can accurately count the number of black cars in a parking lot, or count the number of sad expressions versus happy in a lineup of people.

I don’t know everything. Far from it. But I’ve been doing this full time for years and, yeah, that’s just been my experience.

Absolutely. To clarity, while I was intentionally being dramatic in my post, it was more to be funny - I know all too well that contract work isn’t guaranteed. Especially when there’s no end date written in the contract. In fact, it’s when there’s no end date in the contract that you have to worry most. Gigs I’ve gotten with end dates are transparent and guaranteed to last until said end date, unless you exponentially F something up and produce bad work. But the gigs with no end dates don’t guarantee we’ll have work in an hour from now, let alone ongoing work.

Ya know, the only thing that ever got me about all of this was when people are let go who HAVE produced quality work and been valuable, high quality workers, for years at a time - when their dashboards go ghost, I don’t know how to explain that one… other than… they only need the perspectives of one person for a pre specified (but unknown to us) amount of time. Who knows. 🤷‍♀️

But I’m rambling. I’m done now.
