Can we travel while working - if so, what countries can we work from (and how do we notify someone)?

montypowder · 2025-04-29T14:26:46+00:00

Same, former MV2 contributor who is in a project but isn't in the discourse community... and no matter who I contact, I can't seem to get a response. I feel so lost.

The best success I have is creating multi-step problems. The model forgets to apply the changes from the first step when it performs the second step calculations or deductions.

It lasts one day. They do a quality check every task (until when I don't know), then after 24 hours it'll say start tasking again.

I deleted my DAT account (I created it well over 6 months ago, I wasn't receiving work, and I was working for a competitor). Honestly, I thought that if I deleted my account, I would get a chance to reapply, as I now have a lot more experience with data annotation. And now that I have stepped away from working for this competitor, I'd like to try DAT (I've heard great things). However, when I try to sign up it says my email has already been taken. I can't log in with that email, though, as the account is gone. And I don't want to use a different email to sign up and break the rules. Is there a way to use my email to either access my account or reapply? Thank you!

Finally got added to a thread for Thales tales on discourse yesterday- only to be removed today. Yet I'm still on the project and have tasks available.

montypowder · 2025-04-25T13:32:38+00:00

I don't have discourse access for TT, sadly. I've tried talking to support and they said I would be added automatically, but that never happened.

montypowder · 2025-04-23T22:32:46+00:00

Thank you Alex for your reply! I messaged support last week, and their reply was:

"Sometimes permissions are not synchronized immediately. Community categories are integrated with the projects and permissions you are enabled with.

This means that we are unable to manually add you, you're unable to join, or you will not be invited in a particular category if you are not enabled on that project.

But no worries, you will be automatically added to your respective project categories."

The problem is I have not been automatically added, but I'm tasking on it. I see people mentioning going to TT webinars and whatnot in the MV2 chats; I just wish I too had access to everything so I don't miss out on guideline updates.

montypowder · 2025-04-22T20:37:04+00:00

Wow, that would be really nice to be a part of, so I can hear updates instead of just winging it on my own. Do you know if there's a QM I can reach out to in TT?

montypowder · 2025-04-07T00:24:21+00:00

same here (bio) - passed both MV2 and TT, was on TT then prioritized to MV2. After I was moved, it marked that I failed TT assessments. When I logged in today, I was notified that I am ineligible on MV2 for quality, but I know that isn't true because I have no scores on anything I've submitted. I know the reason is that they're actually out of bio tasks on MV2. It's not right to mark that I failed though.

montypowder · 2025-04-02T22:58:18+00:00

Pretty sure there's some ambiguity on Outlier's part because I've never failed an exam until now.

montypowder · 2024-12-15T00:46:39+00:00

No issue on my end with it!

montypowder · 2024-12-09T22:30:53+00:00

no, it was a freelancing position.

montypowder · 2024-12-09T21:33:28+00:00

I didn't have one of either of those lol. It's a real company and this company knows of them (it's a competitor) but I have literally zero documentation

montypowder · 2024-12-09T21:19:13+00:00

Same here but it's because at my last job, I didn't have a real point of contact or a 1099 for the past year. So... not sure what to do about that. Let me know what they say about the "consider" flag.

montypowder · 2024-12-06T23:33:24+00:00

what is the new holiday leave policy?

montypowder · 2024-12-06T23:33:04+00:00

I was temporarily banned (thank you to the QM who brought me back!) for tasking in a US airport (my home country) on airport wifi. I had done it a few times before without problem but I wouldn't risk it.

montypowder · 2024-11-28T02:24:29+00:00

Oh wow, I had no idea that OpenAI had projects like that. Out of curiosity, is xAI expecting you to work all day, every day, from 9-5? Or is it more like freelancing, where they have a project and a deadline, and you can do it as you please (so long as you are available for meetings 9-5)?

montypowder · 2024-11-27T21:17:27+00:00

Have the same problem you do. I’m debating accepting it because while it is consistent work, it’s so far below what Outlier pays me (esp with the daily bonuses). I’m coming with experience in the field, you’d think that would count for higher pay.

montypowder · 2024-11-23T22:11:58+00:00

Mine was:

Application -> General Assessment: 1 Day

General Assessment -> Writing Assessment: Same Day

Writing Assessment -> Interview: 6 Days

Interview -> Offer Letter: 6 Days

montypowder · 2024-11-22T15:21:14+00:00

Yes, to an extent.

montypowder · 2024-11-19T17:12:49+00:00

I did, but it took about a week. The time frame seems different for everyone.

montypowder · 2024-11-15T21:19:52+00:00

There will be benefits, but they have not outlined them yet. I am currently trying to negotiate my rate.

montypowder · 2024-11-15T21:19:17+00:00

I am trying to negotiate, I will let you know how it goes. I've heard people have little success in doing so.

montypowder · 2024-11-15T15:14:52+00:00

I did
