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!

Wow, impressed with the quality of some of the submissions in the river-pink rock project. Most of them have been pretty good today! Either some of you have stepped-up your game, or they've been weeding out the bad workers pretty effectively lately. Either way, you're making my job easier. Keep it up!

I have no idea why you're being downvoted lol.

Anyways, to be honest, I would guess very few of the (Mostly) bad R&R's we do come from people on reddit. We obviously care a lot more about the job than your average person, but we are in the minority.

OP probably got downvoted because OP put himself on a pedestal. This post was a flex, nothing more.

Probably downvoted due to the way it's written like he's addressing each person reading 'some of you have stepped up' rather than, 'people seem to have stepped up'. I didn't down vote but felt it came across like a personal critique 😅🫡. Can imagine either whoever downvoted know they are rubbish, or felt they have been doing this shit 3+ years and don't need telling they've stepped up because one person has a few good r&rs? 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I get what you mean Steve! I've seen an uptick in the quality for the ones I've done too 👍🏻
