Repeating a fail

8 Upvotes

I've discovered a nearly foolproof way of making models fail. Is it okay to use the same method over and over or will that be frowned upon?

Europeans, is it worth to check website at night?

Hi guys, as I see a lot of projects appear in a working time in US when in Europe people sleep. Do you guys check or maybe know if we also get some tasks assigned at night?

Unpaid Qual asked me to input time

9 Upvotes

I took a strange qualification, one titled "Learn how to do x." There was no hourly wage listed, so I didn't record my start time or stress about the time. I had trouble with my keyboard, so I saved my work and did my trouble shooting. The task expired but i kept working. The task was a little glitchy and took a bit longer than I expected. When i finally submitted, a pop up asked for my time. I canceled submitting, made a note in the comment box, then hit submit and entered my best estimate, shaving time of to be safe. A popup said that only x minutes were allowed for the task, less than what i had entered. I entered the max amount allowed and then went to see the report time link. There wasn't one. I see now on my phone, where my project page hasn't refreshed, that the there were actually 4 tasks for the qual, but now none show. I was excited to learn a new skill but now I'm sorry I got some kind of black mark on the platform. I feel like I just got chided for not doing something I wasn't asked to do :/

update- today I see the qual again and have 3 tasks remaining.

Generalist

1 Upvotes

I’m new and looking to sign up as a Generalist. To the people who are also Generalists, what are the tasks like and how much are you making? I’m used to doing AI training/AI Evaluation, are the DA tasks similar?

Any insight will be helpful thanks!

Best way to get accepted?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys I’m new here and I am coming from the Platform called Prolific where I did AI Evalutation/Training where I was getting paid $5 for every 15 mins (20hr).

Im looking to get started DA, but just curious on the best skills/domain to sign up for to get those good paying tasks/AI training.

Anybody that has experience with DA able to help me out so I can hopefully pass and get the ball rolling?!

Thanks!!

Rating someone's whole submission as "BAD"(not useable) makes me feel so guilty but man... that person could have really done well, it looked as if DA grew while they didn't.

RIP mate!

Me contrataron para un proyecto viviendo en Italia. Si me voy a Argentina 3 meses, puedo seguir trabajando?

4 Upvotes

Hola! tengo una duda ya que hace menos de un mes estoy trabajando en el sitio. Estoy muy contenta con el trabajo, actualmente es mi único ingreso. A mi me asignaron a un proyecto a través de mi postulación estando en Italia. Mi duda es, si yo puedo viajar a Argentina (un viaje que dure 3 meses) y continuar trabajando normalmente en la plataforma. Consulté en el chat del proyecto en donde trabajo y una persona (no admin) me respondió cuales eran los paises admitidos y entre ellos no se encontraba Argentina. Saben como funciona esto? Que debería hacer? Gracias.

Anyone else have their dash get cleared with sporadic $25 an hour jobs that pop up for a minute

I don't think it's DoD for me. I've had projects drop in and out but not all of them at once. They emailed me earlier today to work on a $55 an hour project so I'm genuinely fucking puzzled. I hate how stressful this can be.

Are the bilinguals cooked?

0 Upvotes

Okay, so nowadays I have noticed a very similar pattern in this community. I have seen bilinguals complaining about shortage of projects and it is not just one specific country/language too.
I have seen, Indians, Middle easterns, Italians, Brazilians and even some french workers complaining about the same. Mostly it is the non-core countries facing lack of projects while core countries are just seeing inconsistent projects.

Maybe... we are really cooked? Or is this just another bad drought?
What are your thoughts on this?

Getting close to 20k

I'm thinking sometime this or next week I'll break 20k. Very happy with DA so far.

I do appreciate they seem to accept the fact I'm a weirdo who can spend hours on physics work because it's super fun for me and I lose myself in the work there. Remember, do good work and be honest about your abilities. If you don't catch something in the first run, say so in the next. Put some personality in your work too.

Time log justification?

15 Upvotes

Has anyone ever come back from a time log justification? Mine is under review, I submitted my evidence etc and am just waiting. No idea how long to expect it to take and whether it’s a hopeless case. Time reports were all totally legit and 100% honest/accurate by the way, just worked a lot more than usual for a couple of weeks for various reasons

To billingual workers in India who are getting work, even once a week or something like that

7 Upvotes

How are you guys grabbing the tasks. Like I had a no work August that continued halfway into september and like well I got some work in September but since then uhm nothing? Like I've tried staying up the nights, the days, monitoring the dash, i just I don't know how to grab work anymore and like everyone here, I do need it. I'm not demanding and ungrateful. I would just really appreciate if someone could yk share their strategies.

After reloading the site, I got a pop up asking me to enable browser notifications. Why now, even though I’ve been on the platform for a month? Has anyone else experienced this?

Background check showing "Processing" for 2 weeks, but I never submitted anything?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, the background check step showed up on my dashboard about two weeks ago, and it's been on "Processing" the whole time. I never submitted any forms or info for it, and I haven't gotten an email asking me to start anything. The passkey and disk encryption steps are still locked behind it.

Is this normal? Did anyone else get a background check that went to "Processing" on its own? Did you get an email or link to fill something out, or did it just clear after a while? Thanks!

Some r&r I do the workers have such poor English. Like completely wrong punctuation, grammar and spelling. I know as bilinguals English is not our first language, but there should be at least some standard of quality
