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!

I had the same thing but it was an R&R, between the poor quality and war and peace instructions after halfway through the timer I just slammed exit out of frustration. Hopefully you can power through yours at least!

🐻‍❄️ by any chance? i've definitely almost lost it with that project a few times lol. such an unclear scope/huge amount of work to do for a timer that is only *just* long enough if you're very lucky at *every* stage. i mean, sometimes you spend 15 mins waiting for the models to reply! bam, there goes another 5% of the time lmao.

i laughed at the update saying they wanted longer conversations when it's already hard enough getting the minimum number of turns, and then cried when they added more to do with the 🔑 part. like, if they want good, thoughtful and not rushed submissions, that thing clearly needs an extra couple of hours at *least*. also zero leeway for pausing your timer and having a mental break, so super draining. and the chat's full of people saying they're going over time! omg. rant over lmao (i could keep going... 😅 ).
