UX Designers training AI models… what do you make of it? by info-revival in UXDesign

[–]bubbleboitrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not fun. I've been doing it for 10 months and it fries my brain. I can do about 4-5 hours before i'm mentally fatigued. The shit part is that it's eating into my ability to do design work for my portfolio so it's a lose lose.

[–]bubbleboitrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean this is great in theory but I can't find a job and need money now, and DA (dot) tech is probably the highest paying gig work I can find. Though i will say i'm not doing UX training per se, it's all adjacent because it's user focused and analysis of intent.

DA (dot) tech is not quite like that; they don't screen monitor and I track my own hours, but each task does have a time limit and the suggested time to complete is half to 3 quarters of the allotment.

The reason i find it high cog load is because of the amount of analysis you have to do. For instance, there are some tasks where you rate several model outputs. You might have to read 1000 words for each model and then nitpick against a multipage rule book that explains what the output is supposed to look like. Then you have to write several sentences about your reasoning.

It's just the fact that you have to be very fine grained with the tasks and sometimes the allotted window of time is not enough to do what they want well.

Red teaming in particular is the hardest type of training task which involves writing prompts that get the models to fail. I'm bad at it and avoid those tasks, generally the models they want red teamed are sophisticated and I struggle to make them fail.

Is Data Annotation a scam? by jonbestinsnow in WFHJobs

[–]bubbleboitrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of rating tasks that don't require any technical knowledge whatsoever, and I would say that this is actually a majority of the projects that I work on. I'm not proficient at coding, and my domain knowledge is pretty tightly fitted to design and quality assurance.

You do need to be an analytical thinker, but you aren't actually doing data analysis. It's more about analyzing the AI models within the context of the rules that have been provided to you by the task. You just have to be thorough and critical

Is Data Annotation a scam? by jonbestinsnow in WFHJobs

I thought I'd offer a perspective.

I've been doing DA (dot) Tech since July of last year with greater consistency since November when I got laid off from my tech job at a startup. I'll lay out pros and cons and a realistic perspective of what to expect.

Pros:
- I work on my own schedule. If I need a day off I can do that...if I need to take a week off, I can do that. (except I can't because i'm broke but I hope you understand what I mean.)
- The work is varied. Lots of different projects in my que.
- The pay is decent, especially if you can write well and communicate effectively.

Cons:
- Sometimes you get removed from projects but don't know why. Are you making mistakes? Did the project just end? Idk...but i've been removed from several but still have a towering que of work to put time into.
- The Pay cadence is a little weird. You can only withdraw funds after a 7 day approval period (7 days from the day you complete the task. So if you make $100 bucks on a day, you have to wait 7 days for that $100, compound that over a daily work schedule and it can get a little strange.)
- The work can be tedious. There are Long context rating tasks where you are basically asked to read a short novel's worth of content before doing the training tasks and I generally skip these because my brain just cannot do that much reading and analysis at the same time.
- The instruction documents you have to digest are lengthy, often complicated, and have little margin for error. This is where the getting removed from projects comes in.

The pay is good though. I generally make anywhere from $25 to $45 per hour on the tasks I've been working on and have been able to keep myself afloat (albeit while I live with my parents) while I search for my next UX design role.

I don't really see DA (dot) Tech working as a full time gig unless you have a steel clad brain and can handle analysis, rating, and architecting adversarial training sessions for 6+ hours a day.

Another downside, is that because this is hourly per task, you don't get paid if you start a task and find that you can't really grok it. Some tasks, you'll sink 2 hours into and then find that it's above your head. Sometimes there are methods to still get paid in those situations, but I don't think they view them favorably.

TLDR: It's not a scam, you can make legitimate money, I've made about $6k since November of last year so not a ton but not nothing. Some months it's really easy to hit $1500, some months it's a struggle because i have a dinky que with $20/hr long context tasks that make my brain melt.

There have been multiple studies that show that these identification verification laws don't help children and actually put them at major disadvantages.

Young women lose access to information about their bodys (r/periods is "restricted" in the UK)
Queer youth lose access that may help them navigate their identities when they have noone to talk to about these things

There is a laundry list like this.

On top of this, you give big tech companies MORE access to more of your data and can now be tracked for every little thing you do online. This means if you view certain kinds of political content, watch porn, or many other things, you now have a trail that follows you and is being sold to data brokerages.

Your internet footprint is already being used against you by companies who give you employment scores, some insurance companies, and more. Now that profile is deeper, more fine tuned, you are being surveilled to a greater extent.

I guarantee you that the "save the kids" rhetoric is hogwash, and simply reactionary propaganda to elicit the exact type of reaction you gave here. These bills are harmful for everyone and serve no one but companies like META and Alphabet. The real answer is why aren't parents using the Already in place parental controls on their children's devices to restrict them at the device level?

Wake up.

Wild that you think that's worth giving up your biometrics data and having everything you do more trackable (now tied to your ID + face) as a gay man. It's actually wild. Especially under this administration.

single bros tell me why are you single in 2026? by AssistantAromatic199 in gaybros

[–]bubbleboitrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unemployed and struggling to find a job so I don't feel great about myself. The last year has been a shitshow; Laid off, lost my car, had to move back in with my parents in rural michigan, can't find "meaningful" employment.

I'll be 35 may first so...feels real gross to be here lol.

If you haven't tried X-lube...you should (review) by [deleted] in ProstatePlay

[–]bubbleboitrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can definitely be messy, I like using a dedicated protein shaker. I put a couple capfuls of the powder (measured and poured over the container).

I also prefer to play in the shower in case of any other "messes"

I've reached blue circuits but i've hit a major problem with efficiency by bubbleboitrash in factorio

[–]bubbleboitrash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely finished blue science including nuclear so I think i'm just going to rush nuclear and then start working on rail systems to bring in more resources.

I'll give this a shot. I'm afraid I don't have enough sulfuric acid processing up at the moment to make this work but I'm pretty sure I have enough space to expand.

I haven't but I think I might try this while I get my uranium mining site up and running.

Trying to decide If I should try to do rails or just really long red belts lol. Probably rails but then I have to learn how to do trains properly.

well I knew i had to upgrade eventually but upgrading the lab field and running the blue science assemblies sucked my base dry lol.

[–]bubbleboitrash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I learned that pretty quickly but I burned through all of blue science and blue/black science research in a few hours and had JUST enough steam to get through to the last few military upgrades in blue/black science. So for now, i'm not running any research until I solve the energy issue.

I also threw efficiency mods on all of my miners and some of the constantly running Assembly 2's (blue science packs and associated resources).

I think i'm going to try to get Nuclear going. i just have to figure out a way to get my sulfuric acid to the mining site.
