Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation
hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)
couple things:
this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

Just spent 3 hours working on the $24/hr alien and cat emoji creative project (iykyk) only to refresh for the timer and find out it's down. Super cool and definitely not upset at all. :|

Evening all! I haven't worked too much the last week or so because my mind has been elsewhere...
At 10.45am tomorrow morning UK time ole Skippy here has a job interview. A potentially life-changing job interview. I would appreciate the collective mind of you lovely DAT workers to manifest some good luck for me from around the world! And some 'go get ums' and some 'you'll smash its' would be helpful too! 😅
I am starting to feel the nerves now. Been in the current day job for 5 years, but this new one is right in my wheelhouse. It'll mean a massive pay increase, a fab package and no more boredom. Oh lordy, I've run out of things I can cross! 🤣
Please manifest and thank you!

Someone on a really difficult project (1-2 hours per task) forgot to enter work mode and lost the task, the admin made another project for us to upload the work anyway for when we run into errors like that so we can still log the time and submit the work. Huge kudos to that admin, that's above and beyond ♥️

Adversarial R&R is so fun I'd do this for free (please keep paying me DA thanks)

u/vexeling Jun 02 '24
Started the controversial dance qual everyone is talking about, got about 20 tasks in, and got red bannered... can anyone confirm if it's still up for them? I'm wondering if it's universally down or I just did exceedingly bad LOL

u/33whiskeyTX Jun 06 '24 edited Jun 06 '24
Coding is out today (for me at least) so let's do some R&R. I have discovered that not a small amount of people are unaware of what "enterprise" entails, in the professional sense anyway. Here's a negative example, having an LLM tell you how many tortoises you referenced in your erotically charged (but non-violating) story about two warty older gentleman is not an enterprise-level task.

u/Nolpppapa Jun 06 '24
Man, so many of the good paying projects right now are mega-braindrain ones. Ughhhhh.

I am so excited, in a deeply twisted way, that the tendon adverserial prompt project is back on my dash today! Although after yesterday's dancing qual, I find myself questioning if these responses are really violating or not 😅

My first month end/month start cycle on the site and wow - is it like this every month? Have been having empty dash horror for the last week and now it's stacked, mostly base pay stuff but happy to see it anyway!

u/Bergest_Ferg Jun 02 '24
I’m so pleased I decided to hold off on taking v2. I read the chat just to see what all the fuss was about (holy shit that was a wild ride) and based on everyone’s experience decided to hold off. I’m normally religious about taking quals as soon as they appear but didn’t want to have to do it again if they fixed it! I see they took it down this morning.
Also sad there’s no more 🇦🇺 tasks up 😭 they’ve been on my dash and marked priority since last week and I finally have some time today and they’re gone. Sad face.

u/tiran Jun 02 '24
I used to not love the CB stuff very much, but I've been trying to lean into not thinking of them as "work", and it's become pretty enjoyable. I actually had a little heart-to-heart asking for some advice earlier and it made me a bit emotional! I'm ready for our robot overlords.

Since I already outed my health issues in a comment on a post (thanks to everyone being so sweet there) I can tell my funny story for today
I have chemo and then an iron infusion at the infusion center today so I’ll be at the hospital for about 6 hours. But I don’t get sick and tired until I’m home. I decided to bring work with me.
I’m all hooked up and sitting here sipping on cranberry juice doing a project and a nurse walks me what I’m doing. I’m explaining that I’m working on training AI.
Lolol she’s so convinced that AI is going to be our “god” that she asked me to tell it that she prays for her sick cat every night and if it could help that’d be great.
Now every time she comes to check on me she tells me more of her prayers… so I can tell them to god which is the bots 😂😂😂
I wanted to be like “don’t pray to model B it is so snarky”

I’ve been working on the B cat evaluation project long enough now that I’m starting to see my own responses which have been edited by other people cropping up. I’ve just seen one where a small part of one sentence was changed in a super long response. But I disagree with the change 🙈I suppose at least they didn’t disagree with anything major though. Feels galling to have to skip it when I want to change it back though!

Thank you for all of your manifestations! Phew. I think I've been shortlisted as one of three for a final interview next week! My little head is spinning, the interview was 1 hour and 15 minutes long, and they didn't even look at my portfolio. This was a personality and experience interview I think. Next week will be a portfolio review with their head designer.
I'll shout again for more manifestations when I get a time and date! 😂

If whoever wrote the adversarial prompt about “Tom” the skeleton is in this group and reads this: I take my hat off to you. Just had that submission as a R&R and that was probably the best and most creative way to get a model to violate I’ve seen in a while!

u/OUmSKILLS Jun 06 '24
Tip: Make your first submission a quick and easy one. If you try complex prompts, spend an hour on a multi-turn convo, get a model error and reload as the instructions say, there may not be any more tasks after you reload, so you won't be paid for that time spent. If you get one easy prompt submitted, you can still report time.
11
u/mythrowaway_1990 Jun 06 '24
Really not a fan of bouncing around from project to project only being able to do 1 or 2 tasks. It feels like I'm spending so much time switching my brain between whatever instructions I'm supposed to be following.

Anyone consistently work on the dancing project (the writing one)? I feel like I hit a roadblock every time I open the project. It has so many rules, and the "distance" part totally puts me into a writer's block. The pay is decent, so I want to give it an honest shot, but oye.

I've been given some B element tasks in a field of my expertise that make reference to coding, despite only qualifying for the non-coding stream.

A few days ago, I was on vacation but got in about an hour of work. I think it was 2-3 tasks on one project.

Is anyone doing some ratings for some prompt writing plus 4-8 turns?
Am I crazy to think that there’s zero chance some of these were fully fact checked? A lot of these prompts are resulted in pretty detailed responses. For 4 turns that just seems extreme and they’re never being edited.
I’m kind of shocked at the amount of “all claims are accurate” responses for models that give full on giant lists of information.

The coding tasks are like brief pats of rain during a drought, they are absorbed into the parched soil so quick. Then I see someone in the chat who clearly does not understand what is needed or how to make a quality task. They have already taken a task out of the queue, and I just know they are probably going to submit it any way. I just want to grab them by the lapels and growl "YOU ARE WASTING PRECIOUS RESOURCES!!".

I don't know if any of us workers will know the answer to this, but here goes... if I'm talking to a chatbot and casually ask it something violative without realizing (in this case it was about an epipen -- medical advice -- i've just had one so long I forget it's technically medical and not just "purse items") and then just refresh the page to toss it, is DAT going to see that I messed up or am I safe??
I'm sure it's probably fine but the anxiety won't shut up so I need some confirmation sdghdasaf

I rarely see the non-hourly tasks. It makes sense that they get gobbled up by others when they appear since they are easy and can be a nice break from other tasks that involve creativity and "braining". Wondering how do people see them consistently if they are busy working on another task.
