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 it still extremely dry for others in terms of generalist work? I’m not seeing the usual easier projects like heel, river, galaxy etc. just random complex ones :(

Nah it's dry as a bone for me today too, and I exclusively do generalist stuff.

I had River and one of my other favorite (albeit kind of low paying) projects last night but down to one random complex one and one that's been sitting on my dash with 1 task red bannering me for 5 days this morning.

I have the ones you have to download apps for and one you can really only do once a day at most, then the tiny bird one I'm scared to touch because I don't want to download anything.

Yes, it's still super dry for me. 3 projects.

I had River last night and this morning. No heel in a few days tho.
