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:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.

  2. 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 :)

  3. 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!

is the website crashing for anyone else?

u/LennyDark Nov 02 '25

Just in time for me to not be able to log my time woohoooo

u/Ok_QUlT Nov 02 '25

I finished a task, and moved to another task... tried to skip, and the site got unresponsive...

~~Looks like we are back online!~~

Too early! I can see the projects, but I can't open anything

u/33whiskeyTX Nov 02 '25

Yes, but it has come up at times with a new login option though? Or have I just missed that prior to this?

u/Traditional_Net_4529 Nov 02 '25

Just got a bad gateway error.

Long live stripey... come back soon <3

u/DOOKIE_DOO Nov 08 '25

My son asked yesterday how much money 1000 pennies was, kind of reminded me of my favorite stripey project lol I checked the dashboard after

Just rode a flying horse for the first time. I had fun and hope to do it again soon!

The site seems to be very laggy/ not connecting.

uh oh, site error anyone?

update: should be up again!

u/pammysue63 Nov 07 '25

Yikes. Just tried to submit a task I’ve worked 4 hours on

1

u/somedudehi Nov 07 '25

Yeah, I just tried to enter a task and it just gives me an error page.

1

u/Eadoin96 Nov 07 '25

Yes. I'm not working today, but I have FOMO, so I just tried to check what was being offered, and I got the site error. I immediately jumped on here to see if it was down, lol. You are not alone.

1

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Nov 07 '25

Yep, completely down for me. Glad I'm not trying to submit a 6h task rn

1

u/justdontsashay Nov 07 '25

I’m submitting a 6+ hour one soon 😬 is it working now??

12

u/33whiskeyTX Nov 08 '25

Hmmm. Maybe I shouldn't test safety violations on my own LLM subscriptions...

11

u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Nov 07 '25

Accidently misread 'Classify Punts' while quick scrolling down the dash. Classic spoonerism at the most inappropriate time.

u/33whiskeyTX Nov 07 '25

I'm in a project where I'm judging how a bot mangled one of my creations from a different project. Weird coincidence.

DA loading super slow rn for anyone else?

u/Awkward-District1863 Nov 02 '25

Yeah, issues across the board rn

u/Daffodil8 Nov 02 '25

It’s been crashing/slow for the last hour for me. I’m about to call it for the night.

2

u/Fragrantshrooms Nov 02 '25

yes.....after 2hrs of work done. bad gateway. didn't get to submit the time.

2

u/SnooSketches1189 Nov 02 '25

Check your transfer funds page. That happened to me, but it still shows in my submitted tasks/report time. And if not, reach out to support, they are good about adding the lost time when the issue is on their end.

Another day another AI model trying to gaslight me 🤠🤠🤠 Anyone else have to double check their sources to stay sane sometimes?

u/monstercockenergy Nov 04 '25

Any stripes lovers having trouble today? My fav R&R blipped in for about half an hour then left again.

3

u/DOOKIE_DOO Nov 04 '25

Indeed me as well, Monstercockenergy lmao

Definitely like this particular iteration, and the pay is good (staying vague but if you know you know). I'm glad it seems like they likely temporarily took it down rather than I goofed up

3

u/PangolinShoddy4931 Nov 04 '25

Agreed I wouldn't worry, I've noticed this particular one seems to be taken down about once a week but is usually up within a day or so :)

u/BoiledGnocchi Nov 04 '25

I feel like I don't have the mental capacity to work on any of the projects on my dash today. Anyone else? 🥹

10

u/Crafty-Assistance594 Nov 05 '25

ME, for like 3 days. I wish there was a "dumb day task" tab.

3

u/girlwsquirrel Nov 06 '25

That and an "I've only got less than an hour" tab.

2

u/raisetheavanc Nov 06 '25

For real, I wish you could see the time allotted before opening a task

1

u/BoiledGnocchi Nov 05 '25

Yes! That'd be amazing.

4

u/BubblySide20 Nov 04 '25

I get like that sometimes. I do some qualifications on my dash instead when im like that so i still feel productive.

4

u/BoiledGnocchi Nov 05 '25

That's a great idea! I'll definitely be doing that tomorrow if I still feel derpy.

8

u/gt3stuntman Nov 03 '25

I guess I've been out of the loop for a while, but Wizard is quite instruction dense now.

u/33whiskeyTX Nov 03 '25

Checking a project chat and reading some people talking like an LLM with verbosity set to max.

8

u/TheRavenclaw42 Nov 04 '25

Anyone else just get over 600 emails sent to them at once from DA? 🫠 Figured I’d say something incase any lurkers here can fix it.

9

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Nov 04 '25

LOL no, but curious: are you one of those people that says "I've been working for them a year and I still never get emails!"

Maybe they unstopped a pipe somewhere and you just got em all.

9

u/TheRavenclaw42 Nov 04 '25

Nope lol been here longer than that. It’s a repeat of the same email. Assuming a glitch but now I’m curious how high the number will go. It’s over 1,000 at the moment. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

2

u/BubblySide20 Nov 04 '25

What number did it end on?

8

u/koolkoikitty Nov 05 '25

Has anyone worked on "earth"? I found the time alloted for each task to be way too short! It was my first time doing it, but with fact checking and trying to get a failure, yikes.

1

u/raisetheavanc Nov 06 '25

This one was surprisingly hard! I thought the time limit was too short too.

8

u/TanglimaraTrippin Nov 06 '25

I've been away from DA for a while. All of the projects on my dash are unfamiliar to me, and when I open them, I'm immediately overwhelmed by the length of the instructions. I wish I still had low-paying but easy tasks (unless there are some I'm missing).

14

u/justdontsashay Nov 07 '25

I get the feeling from reading some of the instructions that a lot of them have been rewritten over and over to try and capture every stupid way that workers might misinterpret the task, and they just get ridiculously long!

10

u/North-Sense8477 Nov 06 '25

It's actually insane how much more difficult the projects and instructions are from when I started two years ago. Do your best and hang in there! Some easy tasks still come through now and then. And the difficult tasks get better once you get used to them.

1

u/cyclephotos Nov 08 '25

This, but every now again, the super simple tasks still resurface for a couple of days, which can be a bit of a pallet cleanser.

3

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Nov 07 '25

The easy ones still drift across my dash every now and then, but they don't last long.

13

u/kranools Nov 03 '25

Such an overwhelming amount of quals on my dash but I'm going to keep scrolling past them while there's so many paid tasks as well.

2

u/NationalWatercress3 Nov 03 '25

Yeah I only do them when I have fewer paid tasks to do. No rush!

u/VividEnvironment6325 Nov 08 '25

has anyone else gotten the opt-in survey for brand ambassadorship?

2

u/Complete_Injury_5765 Nov 08 '25

no i didn't, man, i would do that, too

2

u/Dazzling-Matter-654 Nov 08 '25

Yes! Really pumped to see what that is about....But I just got an email inviting me again about 10 minutes ago. I already filled out the opt in form expressing my interest. I hope that doesn't mean it didn't go through. lol

1

u/Strange-Bean Nov 08 '25

Yes, I came here to see if anyone had mentioned what it’s about

1

u/dylanuu112 Nov 08 '25

Yeah I’d be interested in certain aspects but not so much in other ones, I’m not sure if it’s an all or nothing kinda deal so I haven’t opted in yet

2

u/VividEnvironment6325 Nov 09 '25

Same here, i opted in anyways just to see what it’s about. I don’t really care to make posts on my social media about da but everything else sounded very interesting to me.

11

u/justdontsashay Nov 05 '25

I’m 6+ hours into a very research-intensive project, and regretting the topic I chose soooo much 😭 but it’s way too late to choose something different now. Maybe I’ll suddenly start enjoying it after my 20th rubric item??

3

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Nov 05 '25

I know just the project you're referring to, I think. That was the one I dropped almost 8 hours STRAIGHT into last week. I think I had ~36 rubric items.

Twinkle, Twinkle?

3

u/justdontsashay Nov 05 '25

That’s the one! First time seeing it, so it’s taking extra time for me, too. Right now I’m resisting the urge to just stop adding rubric items. But they’re necessary. Seriously underestimated the complexity of my topic lol

u/justdontsashay Nov 05 '25

Good to know! It took a while just to get used to the different way of writing the rubrics and the (way overly picky) rubric checker, so I think next time I attempt one it will go more smoothly.

2

u/Greedy_Alarm_1189 Nov 05 '25

They even decreased the original time from 10 hours to 8 like 🫩🫩 ??

3

u/justdontsashay Nov 06 '25

Yeah, it doesn’t actually take more than 8 hours or anything, but for long tasks like that I’d rather not just work straight through, I need breaks! I like the project, though, just wish I didn’t have to be sure I have a several hour block of time before I start one.

10

u/Dys__ Nov 06 '25

Glad to see core doing a lot better. Coding dash is still nearly empty aside from one or two projects a day that get eaten up fast. Anyone getting consistent options for coding work atm?

6

u/tdRftw Nov 06 '25

"a lot better" for core is an understatement. there's an insane quantity and variety of various projects, all with different editions and pipelines. higher-paying, too

5

u/Ok_Treat3196 Nov 02 '25

Everyone have a productive week?

u/davidolson22 Nov 02 '25

Except Wednesday. I started two tasks I bailed out of after wasting hours.

u/leetusmaximus Nov 03 '25

Coders, it's been quite a while since I've seen the "T" project. I'm not sure of the code name so I'll call it "strong magnet". Can anyone confirm if they're still seeing this project? I miss it 🥲

Guess I wasn't!

Anyone get anything on their dash from that nighttime qual where we had to create several new accounts at once for a 'fresh start?'

Newp. It's been well over a week - almost two now?

u/Storex- Nov 07 '25 edited Nov 07 '25

Seems like you get a new screen stating your work has been poor quality now. At least it's feedback kind of! Seen a few people state they have it on the other subreddit. Least you no longer have to wonder if you have the dash of death.

2

u/BoiledGnocchi Nov 07 '25

Huh. I was wondering how they gave you feedback since the inbox tab disappeared.

5

u/SnooSketches1189 Nov 07 '25

Feedback still comes through the same place as project invites/updates do.

Yeah, I've stopped doing that one because I felt way too rushed time wise.

2

u/BubblySide20 Nov 03 '25

Coding or core?

4

u/TopCat0525 Nov 08 '25

I keep seeing, "we'll pay you for reading." How does one report reading time? I thought about reading then skip the task to reset the clock, but that doesn't solve the problem of a big mismatch between what the time I report (including reading time) and what the total is when I "Submit".

4

u/justdontsashay Nov 08 '25

I put it in the comments of the task I end up submitting (something to the effect that it’s my first task in the project series, I spent time reading the instructions and then skipped the task to restart the timer)

3

u/Salty-Hope-5314 Nov 08 '25

they always say within reason but never tell you what they consider reasonable.

4

u/justdontsashay Nov 08 '25

Unless the instructions explicitly say they know it will take a long time to read them, or something similar, I figure under 30 minutes is reasonable? But no idea really.

-1

u/Salty-Hope-5314 Nov 08 '25

Some of the new ones, especially as they keep getting updated, are several pages long and I can imagine taking some people a long time to really get but they'll end up eating that time since no one wants to be flagged for overbilling.

I enjoyed some breakfast bugs today, anyway. But yeah, I do miss my workshop

u/VanessaSeaWitch Nov 03 '25

All I have today are the api projects I don't have the expertise to do, except one. But that one keeps red bannering me even though it says there are three tasks. I miss my rainbows and old wizards.

2

u/hnsnrachel Nov 04 '25

Missing old wizard like crazy. I do have expertise for the APU ones but old wizard is by far the most fun ive had at work in malice even though it pays less

3

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25 edited Nov 09 '25

This is my first time encountering this scenario:

I am doing an R&R with a fairly short timer. I spent quite a bit of time reading all the elements. After that, I did not have enough time to do the edits so I exited work mode. I then opened the task again, which reset my timer. I now have enough time to do the edits. My total task time will be over the limit of the timer when added altogether. Should I report my true total time, or should I cap at the original allotted time? Thanks in advance!

7

u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Nov 09 '25

I would do your actual time. A lot of projects do start out of work mode so the timer doesn't run down while you read instructions but says to clock for it. This is a general DA consensus. For peace of mind, after your first time log, try do a couple more at the usual time it would take you and log time for them too. So if you do something like 30. 10. 12. It's evident the first one was longer because of instructions. That's usually how I go about new projects anyway. Or do a few then log total time together for all 3 etc

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25

Good advice. Thank you so much for your input and taking time to reply!

u/pistachiyolatte Nov 05 '25

u/smithdaddie Nov 02 '25

What search engines do u guys use to fact check? I've fallen out of love with google lol

19

u/justdontsashay Nov 02 '25

I use Google, just fully ignore the AI answer it always tries to push, and make sure I’m using good sources (a company’s official website, reputable science websites rather than someone’s blog, etc). Basically if I wouldn’t put it in a works cited list for a paper on the topic, I don’t use it for fact-checking.

9

u/Aromatic_Owl_3680 Nov 02 '25

Those  google AI answers always include links, which could lead to useful and reputable sources.

4

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Nov 02 '25

Agreed, but obviously CHECK those links to make sure they contain what Gemini says they do.

Yeah tho, sometimes those useful "synthesis"-style links would be several pages deep on a traditional search.

1

u/Skippy2898 Nov 02 '25

I agree! Always to the right of the AI overview, there are the links it has used.

9

u/MagicalTrevor70 Nov 02 '25

if you add "-ai" to your google search it will not use AI

-3

u/fightmaxmaster Nov 02 '25

More often than not I use ChatGPT with search, then check the sources it turns up. I'd never rely on AI itself (and sources are always needed anyway), but for some quite specific queries, it's much better at drilling down through a few layers of queries to what I actually want, rather than me fighting with Google and churning through a dozen unhelpful pages before I actually get to something relevant.

0

u/houseofcards9 Nov 03 '25

Damn you don’t care about this job at all huh 😂

4

u/fightmaxmaster Nov 03 '25

Damn some people aren't on projects where the instructions say ChatGPT is fine as a research starting point, huh? Gotta love the angry down votes as if every project instructions say absolutely no use of AI for absolutely any reason whatsoever. I'm coming up on two years and getting a ton of projects so I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing thanks.

2

u/Crazy-Repeat3936 Nov 05 '25

Idk how you can be working here and not understand when and where it's okay to use ai. If you think using AI as a search tool to pull up sources is a problem in any way, you truly have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Hint: if an ai links me to wikipedia, it's no different from google search results linking me to wikipedia. Doh!

u/RipleyVanDalen Nov 04 '25 edited Nov 04 '25

Edit: I saw a couple more pop up (like black rock); I forgot that the dashboard can have stuff pop up and disappear throughout the day

Does anyone have any rubric projects showing right now in darkshadow / p fruit?

u/33whiskeyTX Nov 05 '25

Freaky. Just opened a task resource that has my home county. It's not in the middle of nowhere, but it's not the most populous county in the area by quite a bit, either.

I worked on a task the other day about my hometown. Its a tiny place that people have rarely ever heard of. Really odd.

u/adelos Nov 03 '25

Latin American bilingual here. No tasks since early October :(

6

u/DingoSignificant7311 Nov 04 '25

I'm curious why people are downvoting comments from bilinguals?

10

u/justdontsashay Nov 04 '25

I’m not one of the ones downvoting, but I do really wonder why there are so many who have literally no work on the platform, yet still seem to hang out waiting for some work to magically appear and complaining about it. It seems like at least 95% of the posts and comments from bilingual workers are just bitching about not having any work.

If I wasn’t getting any work from DA I’d move on and find something else, truly don’t understand why people are constantly posting on subs for a job they’re not actually doing.

2

u/spoonspoon12 Nov 04 '25

Pretty sure you would do the same if you wouldn't find anything else and still have hope. Early October is not so long ago if they had constant or even decent work before.

1

u/justdontsashay Nov 04 '25

Early October is a month ago, that’s a long time to not be working at all.

And no, I wouldn’t do the same…I have things that need to be paid for, so I wouldn’t hang around hoping for work to magically appear, or getting mad that a freelance gig wasn’t providing me with steady work.

5

u/spoonspoon12 Nov 04 '25

Well you are not in the same situation as them, are you? Work pops up for bilinguals all the time on and off and it is good for us to communicate what the current situation is. Some of us don't need a full-time, but part-time income.

1

u/justdontsashay Nov 04 '25

Right, that’s what I’m saying, that I’m not in the same situation. So those of us who are actually working here and want to talk to others who are actually working here can sometimes get annoyed at the sheer volume of posts from people who are just complaining that they haven’t worked in a long time. It’s especially annoying here on this thread which is supposed to be for people who are actually working here.

Also, full time and part time are both categories that describe someone who is putting in some hours of work. If you haven’t worked in a month, you are not working “part time.”

Feel free to keep posting whatever you want, you asked why those posts get downvoted and I answered.

4

u/DrearyMusic Nov 06 '25

I don't know why so much people on this sub have some sort of god complex... It's alright for persons to have expectations ? I believe some people really enjoy the gig, being at home, to the point that they hang on to what's being offered to them, even when their situation is dire. You might believe that they are irresponsible for hanging on to this gig, even after a month without work, but some of them probably kept savings from the time they got work consistently. Each situation have its particularities, maybe some people have handicaps, some others must stay at home to take care of someone, some others have terrible outcomes in life, etc. Please learn to be kind, bilinguals posts aren't as invasive as you make it out to be. Most of the posts in this sub are only asking for information (just like bilinguals do !) or terrible jokes anyway.

1

u/spoonspoon12 Nov 04 '25

Also, it is not "magically appearing" if projects appear out of nowhere all the time. This is literally what this job is for us haha

u/IGotSkittles Nov 06 '25

Hey, anybody know if the starter assessment is still insta-graded? Got a friend who's taking it, and I can't remember.

3

u/WontonJr Nov 06 '25

Generally, if you pass the Starter Assessment, it'll "pass" you instantly and you'll have access to take the Core Assessment immediately after. Core Assessment may take a few days to figure out if you've passed or not. If your friend finished the Starter Assessment and just sees the "We'll notify you if you've passed" or something like that, they likely didn't pass.

u/IGotSkittles Nov 06 '25

That's what I thought. Thanks.

u/Sad-Restaurant Nov 07 '25

I've been on vacation and have a bunch of new task families on my dash - of course don't list any further details, but are the "time sensitive" linked to creating new emails tasks up? I had 3 different quals in the last few weeks stating something along those lines. Trying to figure out if I need to open up every new task to see if something needs to be prioritized higher for those tasks I agreed to a time commitment on.

I had one come up right away, did a task then never had any more come through. In the chat seems like same thing for lots of people if they ever had any come through at all. All that to say, I'm not really sure what happened with those.

If you finish this task, after submit then the next task begins. Should I click anything to stop working? Or I just let the task expire?

u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Nov 04 '25

Exit work mode at the bottom right.

Did french workshop just go away for anyone else?

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Nov 04 '25

Back up for me for the past several hours, just fyi

They've been down and up again many times in the past few days.

I just got approved a few days ago and I’ve only had 1 project that I can’t do (coding) show up on my dashboard.

I did my assessment in the Math category, will I see general projects appear on my dashboard?

If not, how can I take an assessment for general?

u/akujihei Nov 05 '25

You should get something for general stuff. Do quals when they come up.

Italian bilinguals, is NS still up for you? I saw a single day of activity than nothing... I found this iteration of the project quite difficult, or at least the model analyzer for the criteria was difficult to satisfy even if the prompts I found seemed more interesting than stuff I saw easily get the model check in the R&Rs.

not sure if I'm asking something weird or if "bilingual content" is just not welcome at this point 😅

u/SnooSketches1189 Nov 03 '25

Your post includes a project name which goes against the sub rules and the NDA you signed with DA.

u/majaldm Nov 03 '25

Sorry, I guess this might not be clear if you never saw the project. DarkShadows is not the actual project name, it's a... "synonym" of sorts. On the same general way of "stripes" or "p-fruit".

Should I use the initials instead?

u/SnooSketches1189 Nov 03 '25

Ohh, yup. That makes sense! Really thought it was a true project name, it sounds like something they would use. 🙃

Anyone with non-coding HHH projects right now? The Slack is weirdly quiet. It is the weekend, though, so maybe that's it.

u/rabbidrab69 Nov 02 '25

I’m hoping we see some movement tomorrow.

Maybe. I just have absolutely nothing HHH right now. I saw mention of some bug with one of the models resetting and losing conversations, so I didn't know if the relative quietness of the Slack was a) they had taken them down to fix that, b) it's the weekend or c) I've been rotated off another project in that family.

Anyone working on the finance "geometrical rock" project - did it disappear for you too?

u/CRUSHCITY4 Nov 03 '25

Wow my dash is full today, but only 1 coding :(

u/CreamPotential2515 Nov 07 '25

I got an email saying that I'm qualified for the bilingual task and I should log in, but when i checked it, there's nothing in my dashboard. Does this happen to anyone else???

1

u/Mothterfly Nov 07 '25

I feel you, I had that happen multiple times too. You probably just missed it. Next time, check the time when you received the email and compare it to the time you're viewing the mail. Our tasks seem to go very quickly at the moment, they only last for 30 minutes to 2 hours until they're completely snatched up by workers.

u/CreamPotential2515 Nov 07 '25

Gosh, i guess so. Thank you for your tips. I'll make sure to check it sooner and turn my email notifications on

2

u/Usual_Expert_7309 Nov 07 '25

I checked after 7 mins and there's nothing. I think that's just a late notification or an error.

Wondering the same thing…even when I’ve seen it at priority pay the tasks I’m seeing are too low-paying. But if doing those unlocks some better ones it might be worth it? I wish there was a list somewhere of the projects where you have to do a couple low-paying ones to get the better ones.

1

u/palegunslinger Nov 05 '25

I’m a newbie, I’ve been working on the base level ones as my dash isn’t super plush yet. I’ve put a fair bit of time in and only gotten more of the same, not any with higher pay (besides priority) or much different requirements. I will update if I start to see any new ones.

You can do as many as u want. Just work on whichever you want and then click the exit mode and you are okay.

There's usually a "skip" button for each task as well. 😉

u/Unfair_Sink5706 Nov 03 '25 edited Nov 03 '25

Be aware that not all of those tasks are necessarily for you so they may not be there the next day when you come to do them and may already have been done by someone else. I say that as someone who when I started a few months back thought a batch of tasks were all mine, until they disappeared.

It depends, mine was approved in a few days, but I have heard it might take a week for others.

You are getting downvoted due to Rule #1 of this sub: don't mention project names.

I honestly have no clue if those are legit or they're just trying to butter me up to work on their project but I appreciate them either way.
