i didn't know that platform still existed.

a requester used to post on mturk at 9 am. they posted porn pics and we had to write a description. pretty fun. They somehow got locked out of their mturk account or some shit, and decided to make their own platform.

I did the other platform for like a week, and then they stopped posting work. i didnt know they still post work these days

Ooooh, now I remember doing those porn hits years ago. I remember when I was at Starbucks a week ago thinking, "if those hits show up, I can't do them because I'm in public."

does anyone see the irony in being forced to read a consent page?

I did a survey yesterday where it combined the consent and description of the task on one page, then the next page asked about the description. Didn't read it. Good thing it was obvious from the HIT title or I would have been AC'd out.

 

[Punkle]

Yes, but I believe it was intended. I don't want to get too into survey content here, but they start you there so you have 10 periods of history to look at.

Ohhhhh, for some reason I was reading it as a page counter; It being connected to the starting data makes much more sense.

Is today's poll also porn related?

 

[TabethaC]

I was doing some of the MLDataLabeler data labeling hits and I realized I was doing them wrong. It gave you a website for a business and it asked to find phone number and address for the business. Some how I didn't notice that it asked for address and only filled in the phone number before submitting. I'm such an idiot. At least I only did 2 wrong, so that's only 2 rejections coming my way. I still can't believe I made such a stupid mistake.

bread depends on what I am eating.. a lunch meat sandwich, wheat. a pb&j, white. toast with eggs, doesn't matter. I really prefer rye and sourdough bread for lunch meat sandwiches though.

All I think about these days is a good sandwich on rye.

Is today's poll also porn related?

if so, then it's racist
it left out other breads

 

[aveline]

What you do with your bread is none of our business.
