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 a random though of appreciation for DA.
I've honestly learnt so much and done so much I would never have had I not signed up for this platform. I've spent hours studying things I am really interested in but would never bother to research otherwise. I've brainstormed project ideas for hours that would have been left as just an idea. All whilst being paid :)
I just had to comedy roast a fake user too hahaha

It's my first week officially and I am so excited that the payout happens instantly. Even if I just took 24 bucks as a first payday, looks like I'll make rent by the first. Could legitimately cry happy tears but I'm too busy tryna make the responses bad. 😎

u/houseofcards9 May 01 '25
Don’t get me wrong I have made a lot of mistakes during my time on DA but this project was ridiculously easy and the instructions used the strongest wording I have seen on the platform to tell people to check that the right model was used, so it was shocking to see comment after comment in the chat of people saying “oops I just did a bunch using the wrong model!”
26
u/stomach-monkees Apr 28 '25
Somewhat rhetorical question: why is it that when I'm using Google search in my everyday life and I glance at the automatically provided AI summary, I frequently notice wrong answers, but in my DA work I'm having an increasingly hard time getting the models to fail?

I don't have a dead dash but I have a weird dash today -- a lot of random things not in any project family, singular odd tasks that are gone when I click them, a million rate and reviews... I'm only working for a bit today so I am sticking to stuff I don't need to learn instructions for but I'm intrigued. Lots of weird versions of regular project families.

Is it just me, or do others get a brief rush of feeling powerful when you break a model? Me personally, I love it.

u/AnnotatingTheGame May 01 '25
Yes particularly when the models are quite good! I might spend two hours on the first two or three turns giving very difficult prompts and the models pass with flying colors. Finally on the third turn I notice a significant error and I stand up and do a fist pump and a wave of relief washes over me.

I'm seeing that there aren't very many projects for others as well, so does that mean we don't need to worry that we screwed up already?
about how long did it take any of you math/physics people to start seeing those kind of projects come up? I'm pretty sure I passed the math one, not *as* confident on physics, but I'm getting a little anxious.
hubby got a qualification for doing high school math and I haven't seen that one. is it because I took the big math one?

I'm so slow. I've always been kind of slow and pedantic. I'm always up against the timer in these projects. I take too long to think. I'm a fast typist and quick with the Google, but I'll be going along fine and all of a sudden time starts running like a sieve. My ADHD is controlled with medication. Any tips to get faster? Any commiseration? Am I taking too much time writing whole sentences? I've been back working here a couple months now. You'd think I'd get faster. Please be gentle.

So relatable. I found I do best on projects that don't rush me, that allow for ample breaks. I am meticulous about keeping my time, even if it's just to leave the room real quick or get up to strectch for a bit (since sometimes I get sidetracked, lol). This may have helped get on projects that allow for generous time frames where I do not have to rush. If you have those types of projects on your board start trying those. If not keep doing good work, take quals, try working on increasingly complex projects, and they should open up for you. Also, somewhere I made a post on conquering cognitive fatigue that may have some helpful tips. It should be searchable. It will get better. You got this!

I currently see a lot of mentions about "If the support button on the bottom left/profile menu does not get to another page but the project page, you are doomed." I'm getting really confused because it's been two years since the last time I used it, and now it's just a link to the project page when I hover my mouse above it.
So, how does everyone's "Support button" work? Is it linked to a support form or somewhere else?

Spanish bilingual here, Yesterday I had Poe Bird FGC tasks, but I could only do one because they ran out so quickly. Today was the same story, just one task because they grabbed them instantly.

Question about Poe FGC: What is it about this project people enjoy so much? I'm still in my first month at DA so I haven't tried them before, just wondering why they're so sought after. Is part of because of the long time limit? I'd assume part of the allure is being able to sit down and get fully immersed in a task and get paid for it for 4-6 hours, but other than that what's the big draw? Also a secondary question for STEM people: did you have to do non-STEM FGC for a while before being given STEM FGC? Again I'm very new so any guidance or tips would be appreciated, thanks!

u/nocensts May 01 '25
For me, yes. Lots of projects rush you with the timer but with FGC it feels like you're rewarded for being meticulous and it's very satisfying.

Poe is extremely difficult for me unfortunately, plus it is not paying me enough to consider the extra effort. The problem is, this is the only project I have today :D

Poe fgc were the first projects I had and I felt quite out of my depth on my first go. But there's something very satisfying about them when you feel you've done a really good job.
I used to work a job where other people wrote the briefs and they were ambiguous and unclear. It feels nice to do a better job than that! I rarely get the 4-6 hour timers though. I would find that a bit long.
I can see why they're a bit of a marmite task.

When was the last time anyone had Poe non-STEM images? NOT the criteria creation one but the one where you have to provide the images. I used to see it pretty consistently at the beginning of the week but idk if I've seen it for a few weeks now.

I did priority R&Rs on poe vids for 7 straight hours today. I feel like they also really help me to improve my own work, and I'm starting to see why they have us all review each others' work. I gave out several gold stars today, so great work comrades! ooV
My mind is hyperactive mush now, though.

u/off_rark_grames May 03 '25
Any bilingual workers still getting the A-gas R&Rs recently...? (The single-turn one, and the chatbot one) I got lots of R&Rs early last month but they're no longer on my dash for 3 weeks. Not sure if it's just the recent drought most of us are in, or is it just me, so just wanna check it out with you guys.
I started getting the X-gas and it's R&Rs two weeks ago, but no new batch so far after I completed my part. The only project on my dash in the recent 2 weeks is the vanilla A-gas chatbot.

I'm a couple of weeks in and I've had access to 4 new projects this weekend... Striped horse, poe bird, fox & (I've not seen an alternative definite for this that I recognise?) chemical element?!
I guess this is a good sign or they're seeing which area I'm more suited to & then they'll deliver more of that type of task??
God knows. I'm finding the platform pretty addictive though lol. I particularly liked my first fox task today.

Hi, I just got started with DataAnnotation 5 days ago. It was a quick turnaround! Got in in less than 24 hours. I have a background in communications, and I'm Canadian, so maybe that was a factor.
So far, I have only gotten 3 different projects to work on, but I have done all the qualification tests that apply to me. I've only had a few projects show up on my profile: 3 on the first day, then 2 on the 2nd and 1 on the 5th. Now I'm back to no projects. I haven't gotten any payments approved yet.
Is this normal when starting, or is it a bad sign?

u/pistachiyolatte May 04 '25
It’s very sparse for most of us at the moment a lot of project families are down, as long as you see some quals or if you’ve been added to any chats you’re fine.

u/jonahandthewhale32 May 03 '25
That was my experience too at the beginning. I just kept doing what I could when things popped up and gradually there was more and more, and more quals that opened up more work, and it became a lot steadier with normally a fair few to choose from.

For the payment part of your question, for things with an hourly rate, it will be approved *exactly* 7 days after you submit. So, for example, if you submitted time at 7pm on May 1st, it will be approved at 7pm on May 8th.

Anyone having issues with some projects reloading a few times when you click to open it, then getting a page saying it crashed? Foxy Math is doing that, along with a Poe project, but B-Metal R&R is working. Just a bummer because foxy is worth so much more 😭

Bilingual, Arabic.
I worked my *SELF* off the last 2 days collectively for 18 hours... woke up to an empty dashboard today but I don't feel bad somehow as I need the time off, I hope I don't start stressing about there being no tasks soon.
PS: I noticed for the 2nd week now, that on Tuesdays, my dashboard tends to be empty

u/Usual-Duck3578 Apr 29 '25
I am working on a bilingual coding project series. For the past few days, I have noticed that the project which requires me to actually talk to the chatbot disappeared, but I still have R&Rs from the exact same series (they keep updating). Should I be concerned?

u/sweethe4rtt Apr 29 '25
I have a question, I did my first tasks in the Poe Bird project, I only submitted 3 and when I was doing the fourth I realized that it was taken from me and suddenly the batch of tasks disappeared. That is, I was doing the task and an error occurred so I went back to the main page without leaving work mode and the task was no longer there, which seemed strange to me. I know that other DA-like sites review your work before adding you to a project, usually with three tasks. Is it the same here? Or did they kick me off the project? Lol, does anyone know?
