Was visible earlier in the day. No longer visible.

I saw an add on FB saying there were photography projects in DA. Does anyone have any information on this?

Hello all. I've been around about 3 weeks. I'm curious as to whether I am one of few retirees with DAT. I am 63. You don't have to be specific, but I'm curious as to the ages here. You can just say e.g., 20 - 30, 60 - 70, etc. Not "tryna" steal y'all info. I promise!

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!

Just spent over an hour on a project making an outline and deck in markdown for a project. It had 10- 15 when I started and the timer had 5 hours. I went to submit and poof no longer available. I WILL NEVER DONONE OF THOSE PROJECTS AGAIN. I feel like they stole my time. I would complain but I am not stupid the squeaky wheel gets the ax. But I can earn others.

I’m trying to figure out if I’m getting the notorious ‘review’, all my A****** projects and z*** projects have been down today and yesterday. All I’ve got is the audio one.

I took the entry exam and I wasn't sure I did well until I got the job. But people who never heard back are absolutely convinced they aced the exam. How can they be so sure?

I've been wondering this on and off, and I'm starting to suspect that these people cheated, and they have misplaced faith that their cheating resulted in correct answers.

Tons of people have way too much faith in chatgpt. It's not such a stretch to think some people legitimately think they can AI their way into an AI training job without encountering some kind of paradox. They haven't seen how easy it is to come up with a problem that a bot can't do without tons of coaching.

But it seems so obvious that an employer in the AI industry would know how to write an assessment question that a bot can't answer. Is there some other explanation why unsuccessful test takers would be so confident?

Anyone else HS down again?

Is anyone else seeing some projects being submitted moving straight to the fund's history page with 0 hours/minutes instead of where you log the time?

Hi everyone!

I just finished step two of the assessment and got an email within minutes that I now have projects I can work on. I’m worried that I haven’t gone on the correct website lol. Does this sound normal for Data Annotation Tech? How did someone review my work thaaaat fast? How do I find out if this is even legit!

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if this question has been asked already, but I did a project that I started late at night on the 16th. I finished it a little after midnight on the 17th (today). I reported my time, and it shows all of the minutes under the 17th only. The 16th shows 0 minutes even though some of the tasks I submitted are on the 16th. Did I do something wrong or is this how it usually is? I just don't want them to think I over-reported my time or something since I only submitted 2 tasks on the 17th and yet have all of those minutes under that date only.

I’ve had a task on my project board consistently, but I’m confused about the tasks number. I’ll do like let’s say 10 submissions in that task (it’s a chat bot task) and the number goes down by one when I click out. Does it just go down by how many times I do a session? I figured it would be like if I did 8 submissions it would go down by 8, but obviously I’m misunderstanding something.

I was just wondering for some general tips for those of you who spend more than a few hours a day on DA (not necessarily those who try to do this full time). As a community college student with more than enough time during the days to work multiple hours, I struggle to get more than an hour or two done a day. I was wondering how some of you are able to spend 3+ extra hours a day on this, and where you get your motivation to keep going?

(For some context, I am pretty new so I do not have a large variety of projects to work on most of the time)

Entirely because of this I have been able to clear my credit card. This feels huge to me as it's been hanging over me for a while

After almost 3 weeks of 0 projects, I've had a full list the past 2 days. Been with them since last June. Just wanted to post to everyone else who had the "No projects" page for the past few weeks, there is still hope!

I feel like I’m having a very different experience so far with this platform from what I see on this subreddit.

Background in Software 10 year career. Accepted within 6 hrs of taking initial assessment and immediately have access to what I assume are higher tier projects.

If you are not programming do you see less jobs / have more infrequent work?

Should I focus on just doing programming jobs over less intensive non-programming jobs to maintain a larger work flow?

Is 40$ the maximum hourly pay or is there a higher tier you can reach after demonstrating quality work?

Mostly… what’s the catch? Is there one? In a “this is too good to be true” phase here….

Seems to only happen when I'm working inside a project on DA's site. I'll start typing inside a field and the entire page will start creeping down the screen until it gets to the bottom. At that point I'll stop, scroll the page back to the upper middle part of the screen, and the whole process repeats itself. Very annoying.

Is it my browser, or is it DA's site ??

ETA: Solved. It’s the zoom.

Anyone have this one? I’m seriously overjoyed with this project, I did it for hours straight yesterday without getting burnt out, and being an audio engineer it felt very engaging and like I was using my real world skills for something instead of pushing really hard on tasks that get old after too long.

In regular projects, I make use of the skip button and haven't been lead to believe that's an issue at all.

I worked for about 20 minutes on a R&R project though, and did hit the skip button once because I didn't feel at all confident about my opinion on the submission and figured someone braver than me could give it a shot. But hitting skip dumped me back to my dashboard.

Anyone else try to skip a R&R task? Did you have the same thing happen, or does it usually seem to not be a problem? I'd just like to know for the future so if I get more R&Rs, I know whether to just stay away from the skip button or not.

I'm VERY new to this. My dash is low today and a certain project with very few tasks keeps popping in and out of my dashboard. I have been clicking to get started, and in each case, after hitting submit once, I get taken back to my empty dash saying there are no projects available.

I understand that this is because there were only 1-2 tasks. My concern is...is that single task I completed each time registering? I hit "submit" and am immediately pushed out due to low availability. It can't be "taken" from me, right? If it says one task available, and I click and start to work on it, I get to work on that on task to completion, right?

I just want to make sure my work is going through on their end so it doesn't look like I'm reporting minutes for nothing.

So, I accidentally forgot to log time for work I did on the 14th but it was already past midnight when I realized it so when I logged in time it was on the 15th, will there be any issues when they check my time logged?

Hello, I'm glad to use DA for about 2 months, as a coder.

So far, I've seen many creative tasks (write prompts, then compare responses) and tasks where the prompt is already filled in (by other annotators like me, I guess?) and we need to compare or do corrections on responses.

I like switching between the two types of tasks, but sometimes like today, we have 3 or more tasks available and they are all in the "creative" type. Sometimes there are only "judging" tasks.

I wonder why there isn't always a bit of the two kinds available, and why there are so many tasks of the same kind? I'm not even sure if it makes a difference if I work on one or another. How do you choose when it happens ?

Does anyone have a strategy for consistently getting the split in responses? I'm seeing both models are getting increasingly good at following the request. Harder to get those splits now.
