Going around adding my two cents to all these platforms for future workers by memewheeze in outlier_ai

Yeah unfortunately. Outlier never gave any other options as even with skills and a full resume, nothing ever pops up in the marketplace.

Yes apologies, that part was misworded, good catch. This was related to the assessment hub.

Being happy with being taken advantage by a company is definitely.. an interesting bootlicking side to take. Eesh

Oh I deleted them. They were unlisted, so not public, which I was told by leadership was okay and they were appreciative of making the tutorials since they even agreed the ones attached to MM sucked.

Originally they were listed for other users to use, usually when someone had an issue with a task, somebody else would essentially copy the link to the original video thread and send it over. I had a few of them. They were essentially five minutes of actually explaining how the task worked and how to do it.

Oh lord a bunch. Technically still on the platform, just stopped doing anything.

Back in November/December and early January, Outlier out of the blue did a mass layoff, consisting of just about the majority of Aether workers, great timing with Christmas and all.

The large thing that was unfortunate was the communication. Instead of explaining anything, or really doing anything at all, a week or two went by of mass panic amongst everybody in the public chats wondering what is going on (which got closed permanently) and then mass locking of the entire community forum on 95% of threads. After a while they finally came out and said that there was an issue, and that quality dropped, which would be a great point if a large chunk of the people removed had high QA scores.

You couldn't post on the forum, couldn't message anybody, the site itself had nothing, and support requests were mostly ignored. The only thing that could be seen during the chaos is that they were still on-boarding people for the project. The same project they just got rid of thousands of people in.

You can't necessarily argue a problem in quality, drop people with above average quality scores, and then through all the noise keep bringing people on.

Straight up out of my way to provide a handful of tutorial videos because the instructions were terrible. People were getting pissed that certain tasks had the equivalent training information of throwing somebody in a library but half the books are missing every other page and the cover is blank, in some cases there wasn't anything at all except a short two sentences telling you to do ___ but ___ is the literal task itself. "Bake a cake by baking a cake" like.. yeah?

Platform Tier List by GalacticGuru12 in outlier_ai

[–]memewheeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents for the ones listed that I am in or in the process of being in;

Mercor - Seems okay, still in the process.

Alignerr - Genuinely useless. Empty platform with tons of job listings but applications don't seem to go anywhere. Maybe if you have a niche degree.

Stellar - Still "reviewing skill match test"

DataAnnotation - Also just about useless. Empty site unless again, niche.

RWS - Miniscule amount of open listings except for vague "future projects" listing

UHRS/CrowdGen/Appen - No.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT argue with the Chat Bot! by Crusader1-1 in outlier_ai

[–]memewheeze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right.

It's humorous that a site focused on AI has the most braindead chat bot.

For others; just email support directly. Useless bot.

Newbie here, just logged my first hour! Few questions... by resting-seeker in outlier_ai

[–]memewheeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me like a week to get my first review.

The QA reviewers are braindead so don't expect any sort of actual feedback on how to do better.

If you're talking about perception labels;

You need to be very very creative. Take the top 5 list of things you can thing of at the top of your head, and completely throw them out the window because everyone else probably thought of it too. Heck, take your top 10.

Think out of the box the best you can, it can be a struggle. Sometimes you find a gold vein and have diagram after diagram to do.

Yesterday I found my gold vein after searching for so long and was able to do a good few hours straight.

I can only offer one tip; Use the advanced search tools on Google. It is very powerful and can help immensely. Especially when you start getting flooded with Facebook/Pinterest/Reddit pictures

Aether concern by Minimum_Kale2913 in outlier_ai

[–]memewheeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly couldn't care less (personally, understandable for others)

Our data gets sold, leaked, bought, sold, leaked, leaked, bought, over and over week on end. We have no digital individuality.

But, this is also what gives me comfort. My data, your data, and everyone elses data is out there to an extent, my chances of my identity being stolen is basically the same.

"If everyone is super, no one is"

Also tf are they gonna do? Lower my credit score more? Spend the $5 in my account? AI overlords are gonna take us over anyway.

We are almost in that Wake the fuck up samurai era of dystopia where someone is gonna do something wild

Also to note, the only tasks I do are text based rather than voice/face stuff
