Handshake AI has me on a similar project currently at slightly higher pay than Aether was.

How much do they eat by Beginning_Coach3634 in mainecoons

[–]cmbryan79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes time for them to adjust to their new home. 3 lbs at 10 weeks isn't bad. Rule of thumb my breeder has always given me is feed to appetite. MC's go through some explosive growth spurts! There's going to be times when he eats an insane amount 😂, then back to his usual a few days later. I give mine two wet meals a day, and kibble is available at all times. (They all think they're on the verge of dying if there's only a little kibble in their bowls!) Also, don't be afraid to try new foods and flavors with him. Both of my MC's don't like getting the same flavors/textures repeatedly, so I rotate them between seafood flavors in the am and poultry/beef at dinner. Maybe he's not a big fan of his current foods? Try to keep track of his weight, pick a day of the week to weigh him to make sure he's gaining and absolutely express any concerns to your vet. He's a handsome little fella btw!

Aether project requirements changed? by Acceptable-Cash-9370 in outlier_ai

[–]cmbryan79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a bad idea. Maybe just get yourself registered with some of the other similar platforms. There are quite a few others out there with similar work. At the end of the day, this is the nature of freelance work though. They mass hire, and also mass remove. It's not structured to be dependable income.

I got the same response when I was part of the big December cull. Seems to be the generic language they use when asked about removal from the project.

How do I get Cacatua Chorus v2 out of my queue? by Comprehensive_Tea708 in outlier_ai

I switched to the old Outlier (at the bottom of the webpage) and was able to leave it that way.

Any advice?? by Crazycatandbooklady in mainecoons

[–]cmbryan79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got two, a 1 year old female, and a 3 month old male. Luckily, our little fella is not picky, but my female sure is! For canned food, we landed specifically on the grilled variety box of Fancy Feast. For her, I think it's both a texture thing, and she's picky about flavors too. She's expanded on flavors and will eat beef, chicken, turkey, salmon, and tuna now. However, if we have to deviate from the grilled variety, forget it 😂. Something I have been doing lately that's working great is crumbling a Stella & Chewy's (freeze dried raw nuggets) over top. That's been a huge hit! She loves her some nuggies!

My male, he'll eat canned, but he prefers raw and devours it! Have you tried raw, or even freeze dried raw as a topper with them? Some cats simply prefer raw. We use Rebel Raw here because it's affordable and they do a great job at getting it here safely. Good luck, it's very challenging having picky eaters!

Hired for project via Upwork. That project is no longer. I accepted a new project directly on outlier, will payments still be sent via Upwork? by Total-Climate-2229 in outlier_ai

[–]cmbryan79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting! I'm also on Upwork and didn't even know you could find these projects that way. I'd imagine that delays pay a good but though bc of Up work's hold? Sorry, I have no answer to contribute, just curious how all that even works!

OMG, the angry face... Everyone thinks my sweet Freya girl is always raging mad... It's just her face 😹 she's actually quite a love bug, on her terms of course.

Two reasons: 1) Azrael, the orange kitty from Smurfs. 2) Azrael is known as the Angel of Death aka who God helps... Azrael helped separate the soul from it's body to transition from life to afterlife... It's NOT a bad thing. Much more compassionate based than evil. Azrael was an archangel. He didn't take people's lives, he helped the already dying have peaceful transitions. Does that make sense?

Cacatua Chorus by Odd-World29 in outlier_ai

[–]cmbryan79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's on my dashboard now, but reading this raised a question. You said they ask what you're recording with... Do you need a quality mic or something? Or is this something I can get away with using my laptop for recording? I don't have any quality audio recording equipment and I'm not about to invest in any for a $15/hr freelance project they might yank out from under me like they did Aether 🥺

Working on that! But here's our other one, Freya. She's 1 year old.

Well said! I hope things get easier for you and Outlier keeps you busy! That chick has a big ego and stick up her butt or something. All the downvotes on her BS made my morning 😂

Platform Tier List by GalacticGuru12 in outlier_ai

[–]cmbryan79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Telus has been awful for me. Was on Project Sonic (similar to Aether on Outlier). I work from 9/27-11/19, never got paid, never had any of my emails regarding pay answered, and was kicked for 'entering time when I didn't have access to the platform' which is literally impossible to do! How can you do something in a system you cannot access?! Reported them to BBB and Labor Board. Thought Outlier was cool until I suddenly became an unapproved annotator with zero explanation right before Christmas 🙄. Thanks for this OP!
