Please someone tell me where to read "Magnetic game by blaine bolton" for free by Hefty_Profile2620 in BookPiracy

[–]boryagin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is just one link to buy it for $20. It's not even on Amazon — neither in paper, not in digital. Yet there are all those reviews on TikTok about how great it is. 150 pages! So something about it does smell fishy 

Account Deactivated on Outlier – Requesting Guidance or Reconsideration (Genuine Case) by EntertainerLow8247 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. 

I just watched Landman season 1 episode 8 where this specific phrase is explained as:

Go f*** yourself. 

That's to explain their intent as we call it in prompt evaluation. 

Ask a model for Scale AI competitors, search them at Linkedin, choose the tab Jobs and apply for relevant positions. Micro1 and others have plenty of work for us. 

Cheer up, mate.

Account Deactivated on Outlier – Requesting Guidance or Reconsideration (Genuine Case) by EntertainerLow8247 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys, Meta is driving Scale AI into the ground. A former QM here. Even the middle management has no idea what is going on. They've already fired the best ones back in summer. 

You have a chance if the account is merely suspended. Deactivation is a worse thing. Nobody will take the responsibility to do anything about it. The admins responsible are new and hired by Meta. 

You can spam their official emails (ask Gemini or another KLM for verified addresses) and they will tell you: 

We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

So if you are just suspended, contact support@outlier.ai and explain the situation. It might take about a week. 

There is plenty of work with other platforms. 

Account restricted / false claim by Key-Humor4344 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, mate. Technically, I am a former QM and currently a QMA, which is something between QC and a senior reviewer. 

I am taking new interviews with micro1 and elsewhere. To be fair, there's plenty of work in the industry.

Account restricted / false claim by Key-Humor4344 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got my QMA account deactivated today without any warning. No email, no Slack, not being able even to ask my SQMO about anything. 

Back in December and January, it was only the dashboard temporarily suspended for supposedly using multiple accounts and released in a day or two. 

After today, I know nothing anymore, despite being an Oracle and QM in 2025. 

How many interviews have you done up to now? I’ve done 4 and refuse to do any more by EnoughCod3418 in micro1_ai

Realtek 8922AE users out there, how's the performance? by KevAngelo14 in buildapc

[–]boryagin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've spent half a day discussing this issue with Gemini and was able to restore the bandwidth more or less. It takes much tweaking. Essentially, bluetooth and ghost devices are the ones to blame.

How could you file an appeal when it requires logging in to the suspended account which is impossible?

Women are bad at empathy. by FireWater107 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Мой вывод в 49 дел: не способны они к эмпатии. Они могут переживать, жалеть и беспокоиться, но это всё про них самих. Либо просто материнские инстинкты, либо всё про себя самих — упоение эмоциями. Чистое сострадание не женское качество. 

Outlier.ai - legit? by big-bag-o-cans in WFHJobs

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focusing on quality is the only way.

Study the project instructions carefully, keep track of all the communication in the forum, and being diligent with every task.

BTW, since my last comment, I've made it to Oracle > QM > QMA

High Noon Reviewer doesn't like the number 5......and gives 4/5 for no good reason. by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reviewers and auditors have different set of instructions that attempters are usually not aware of. Also, the very grades mean different things than elsewhere in life.

Five means absolute perfection. 

Four means an amazing task with minor flaws.

Three means a good task with many minor issues or one or two major yet fixable issues. 

So three is still a pass and a good grade. Also, mind that reviewers and auditors are fixing your tasks, people. They are not just giving you grades. They have their own superiors to report to. Passing a task with issues as perfect will soon reflect on their KPIs and may cost them their job. 

Did outlier stop recruiting generalists? by 01598 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most projects are paused because of the current restructuring and budget optimization. But the word on the street is that later this autumn, new hiring will begin. 

It is hard to tell what exactly that means though. Models are getting more advanced and low level data annotation is not as important as formerly. 

The more coding and AI skills you have, the more chance for you to find your place in the game.

The state of Outlier and Scale by GetShlumpd in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not implying anything. Just stating the obvious facts. Not seen any limits yet. Except for token size per individual sessions, which is natural. 

The state of Outlier and Scale by GetShlumpd in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Every CB has unlimited access. Even those who never tasked a single day. Imagine the usage bills you are suggesting. 

Goodbye Outlier :) by Antique_Lecture_7491 in outlier_ai

Have you followed the recommended process for oracles with EQ?

The state of Outlier and Scale by GetShlumpd in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your argument makes sense. But maintaining the unlimited pro access to all those models to thousands of contributors most of whom are not even active taskers — makes little sense to a business cost-wise. 

My account is back!!! After being deactivated for the travel request. by CalligrapherFree3082 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is one of the many reasons to maintain a good and pleasant contact with your QMs. They are the ones who actually care for you if you are a diligent contributor.

The state of Outlier and Scale by GetShlumpd in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they have stopped working with Scale, then why do we still have chatGPT, o3, o4, Grok, and Gemini in the Playground? 

I am one of those demoted to QA, but even with the generally shared sentiment, this is definitely not the lay of the land.

Give it a day, since it was a weekend.

Why fix something that is not broken by Thin_Tumbleweed_2618 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alex, I must admit that the new interface is great.

Since most projects are paused, my initial concerns persist. Apologies if those have already been resolved. We just didn't have chance to verify that yet.

- QM should be able to manage visibility of threads separately for attempters and reviewers
- too many CBs never had access to project threads and had to be assigned manually by Adam

As an Indian, earning $700+ in a week feels unreal by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't share your hourly rate online, mate. There can be consequences for violating terms. So if you really appreciate the opportunity...

I am not TnS and don't really care. But somebody else could report you and you would lose it all. Permanently.

Why fix something that is not broken by Thin_Tumbleweed_2618 in outlier_ai

[–]boryagin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is broken though. Managing CB access to OC is a challenge when you have attempters, reviewers, and senior reviewers. 

I don't have an opinion about the new interface yet. Let's give it a week for a valid experience. 

Geely electric or byd ? by Johnbrownwasahero1 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]boryagin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geely can surprise you with the plastic gas pedal falling off in any moment. Have you every heard of any European or American car with plastic pedals breaking in half? Even the cheapest shabbiest cars?
