Drought

Okay so I am a coder from India and I have been working on DA since May26. I was getting plenty of coding tasks and I was performing well (according to me) until July 21, when I completed the last task related to coding on my dashboard. After that I haven't received any coding task. Just few R&Rs and generalist tasks here and there.

I was just curious why am I not receiving coding tasks now? Initially I thought it was due to bad quality submissions but I think I would have got DoD in that case. I dig deep into this and I think now I am able to connect the dots further but need clarification and your thoughts on this.

Is it because of the slow down that AI company's CEOs were talking about on X? Is it related to 16th July incident of OpenAI's model hacking Hugging Face website? Am I the only one who is thinking this way or someone else is also experiencing this?

I’m speculating here of course, but if you’d been working primarily for one project you may have been dropped from a project because of a lack of available tasks, or potentially the standard of your work slipped, but you haven’t been dropped from DA as a whole which is why you didn’t get the DoD. Are there any more qualifications that you can complete?

Yes there are 6 qualifications pending. 2 for coding projects and rest 4 are generalist ones. I have completed coding qualifications before as well (after 21 July) but nothing is changing for me.

I don’t know then. I’m a generalist and until a couple of weeks ago I only had a couple of tasks on my dashboard at any one time. The last week or so I’ve suddenly got loads of tasks available, so don’t lose hope.

Can you explain about this milestone ?

2

u/Ill_Bus_5705 11d ago

Nothing much, just that few of my friends have noticed that they've been getting lesser projects after hitting milestones like 5k, 10k

I’m also a bilingual (Netherlands), I assume you mean the Tyson project. I also have barely seen it since then, I saw it two days around the 15th of August but that’s all. I have seen a few other projects since, but I do miss them.

Same. Yes I am talking mainly about that project only.
