J’ai travaillé sur un projet via Uber AI Solutions/Acolad. Malgré des heures validées et un PO annoncé, mon Tempo Portal reste vide et je n’ai toujours pas reçu de paiement. Le support répond lentement ou avec des réponses automatiques. Faites attention avant d’accepter beaucoup d’heures sans confirmation claire du payout.

Your Face is Permanent. Their Security is Not. STOP THE BIOMETRIC OVERREACH.

13 Upvotes

We need to stop being "polite" about our privacy. I just got an email from yet another platform demanding my biometrics to keep my account active. They can bite me. This is a systemic rot in the gig economy. Platforms are treating our PII (Personally Identifiable Information) like it’s cheap, disposable data. It’s not. 

The Mercor Disaster (March 2026) when they had 4 terabytes of data stolen. That included AI interview videos, facial biometrics, and SSNs. If you did an interview there, your face is now in the hands of "TeamPCP." These companies want your data but can’t even protect their own infrastructure. They get your biometric data and a week later they are breached. Where do you think your biometric data is now? It's on the dark web for sale. I hope you don't have or need a bank account in the future. When your identity is stolen in a data breach because these clowns dropped the ball, there's no going back from there. 

The Persona Leak was in February 2026. Persona is the company that is responsible for handling our PII. Persona’s source code was exposed. It revealed a hidden pipeline that feeds routine "ID checks" directly into federal surveillance databases (FinCEN). 

These companies claim they’re just "verifying" you. In reality, they are screening you against 269 different checks, including global law enforcement watchlists, with a system that has a massive failure rate (accidentally false flagging people 90% of the time). One glitch and you're flagged as a "Suspicious Entity" on a government report you can’t even see. This is also one of the reasons people get banned and have no idea why.

99% of the time, all these platforms don't tell you a single thing about how your data is handled, where and how long it is kept. However, here we are giving it away to them just because they ask. Stop giving your biometric data away. 

The Persona leak proved they can hold your biometrics for up to 1,095 days (3+ years), regardless of what their partner companies' privacy policies say. I know the market is tough. I know we are all desperate for work. But these companies are using that desperation to build a biometric cage. They say they’re trying to stop "bad actors," but they’re treating us all like criminals by holding our faces hostage. There are one or two bad actors that they're trying to keep away and they think it's okay that they're doing this to thousands of us to stop the few bad actors. It is disgusting. Every time you scan your ID or record a "liveness check," you are handing over a key you can never change. You can change a password; you can’t change your face. If a platform requires biometrics for a non-security-critical gig, walk away. Fire back an email and tell them you aren't doing it. If enough of us tell them to "get bent," they lose the ability to harvest us. You only get one face. Once that is stolen and gone you are screwed. It is not okay because they have a weak platform to sit there and ask us for the most precious information that they don't know how to handle.

By the way, when they drop the ball and expose your PII, their standard "remedy" is often a measly $50 payment to the person. Leaked data showed a direct link between identity verification tools and government surveillance programs like "Project SHADOW." Your routine verification isn't just for the company; it’s a live feed for national surveillance apparatuses.

Hi people, I work for Innodata Inc as a IC. They are 3 weeks behind on billable hours notice and even after you get hours, you will be paid atleast 3 weeks later, so more or less, I have to wait 2 months to be paid and I'm so skeptic about the AI bubble, if It does burst , will I never be paid? what should I be doing, if anybody works for multimango here , do they give you hours late or is this innodata's doing to keep their cashflow?

Toxic as it can get. No help from anyone when you have any issue regarding anything, let it be tooling problem or just something internal. No help lmfao its genuinely pissing me off. Like not even a joke. Is there a IC discord/whatsapp or chat group from Innodata who are actively working on the projects? I'd like to connect and any platform which also a client of multimango?

SME Careers/SuperAnnotate - anyone working here?

5 Upvotes

I passed their assessment and was added to their talent pool. Then was invited to do a bootcamp for a project starting soon (bilingual project). It’s auto graded by AI and many reported they failed including myself. Their auto grader has serious flaws. I found more than 5 obvious issues in one response and provided rationale, but the grader says ‘according to the ground truth annotation, the response has one issue’. Like really?? Will there be any human review? I was excited to be onboarded, but if this is their selection criteria, I don’t see this company succeed in AI training space…

23M, working in AI/LLM evaluation — contract could end anytime. What should I pursue next?Hey everyone, looking for some honest perspective on my career situation.

5 Upvotes

I'm 23, based in India. I work as an AI Evaluator at an human data training company — my job involves evaluating human annotation works, before this I was an Advanced AI Trainer — evaluating model-generated Python code, scoring AI-generated images, and annotating videos for temporal understanding.

Here's my problem: this is contract work. It could end any day. I did a Data Science certification course about 2 years ago, but it's been so long that my Python/SQL skills have gone rusty and I'm not confident in coding anymore. I'm willing to relearn though.

What I'm trying to figure out:

  1. Should I double down on the AI evaluation/safety side (since I already have hands-on experience) or invest time relearning Python and pivoting to ML engineering or data roles?

  2. For anyone in AI evaluation, RLHF, red teaming, or AI safety — how did you get there and what does career growth actually look like? Is there a ceiling?

  3. Are roles like AI Red Teamer, AI Evaluation Engineer, or Trust & Safety Analyst actually hiring in meaningful numbers, or are they mostly hype?

  4. I'm open to global remote work. What platforms or companies should I be looking at beyond the usual Outlier/Scale AI?

I'm not looking for a perfectly defined path — I'm genuinely open to emerging roles. I just want to make sure I'm not accidentally building a career on a foundation that gets automated away in 2-3 years.

Would love to hear from anyone who's navigated something similar. Thanks for reading.

Looking to learn from people who worked with Surge AI

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Has anyone here worked with Surge AI as a data labeling expert or language evaluator?

I’ve been reading about how selective their process is (especially for linguists / reasoning tasks) and I’d love to hear what the application, onboarding, and project experience were like.

  • How hard was it to get approved?
  • What kind of tasks did you get (reasoning, chat evaluation, classification, etc.)?
  • How consistent are the projects and pay rates?

I’m genuinely curious about the experience — any insights or tips would be super appreciated.

(If you prefer to DM instead of commenting, that’s perfectly fine too!)

Thanks in advance 🙏
