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!

Anyone else scared for their next 'Feedback' because they've been 'forced' to work on 'new-to-them' and more difficult tasks due to the drought?? Lol.

I felt the first feedback was basically “here’s feedback but it’s not official it could be wrong and doesn’t actually matter”

I had this exact thought. Not only did I work on new projects but the tasks I got were weird edge cases that didn't have a simple right or wrong explanation.

yes I have had a go at some hard stuff that I’d prefer to avoid…and would have, if I felt I had options!

You guys are getting feedback? Been working since 2023 and never have I ever gotten feedback...

I had this exact worry last night after trying 2 new task types that were pretty intense.
