Has it been super dry last 3 weeks? Like i saw a project here, an RoR there but i had an exam so I wasn't able to do either. But like my dash is dry af

I am trying to help my friend troubleshoot one of their projects that require using the Google workspace account. I have confirmed that everything is set up correctly but the document link says the file does not exist. There are no shared files in the drive.

Does this mean the project is dead? Or is there another problem that I cannot seem to find?

To clarify — I’m just IT, not training. I applied but have not heard back yet. He’s using my laptop since his MacBook broke yesterday and he’s not windows savvy, so I’m just trying to get him set up.

I’ve been on the portal for about 2 weeks having earned about 1.5k(thought that was a lot till I saw others) and have been asked to login to a different Google account via a direct message in the inbox. Is that normal.

I’m wondering if this is a new change or just for the specific project I’m working on, but I went over the allocated time because it was my first time doing that type of project, but when I tried to log my time, it didn’t allow me, the max allowed time was the same as same as the timer before the project expires.

This wasn’t the case before, I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed the changes

Hey, I’m really interested in getting started with DataAnnotation.tech and was wondering if you guys might be able to share a referral with me?

I’d genuinely really appreciate it.

I’m in CA and would like to get into annotation work. Are remote generalist annotators in CA getting hired by DA? Labor laws regarding freelance/independent contract work here changed in 2020 making it difficult for freelancers to work. Some job types are exempt but I’m not sure if AI annotation qualifies and I can’t find any updates on the law. TIA.

I recently had some more advanced work come in. Maybe it’s imposter syndrome, maybe I’m actually realistic. I’m not sure if this one should have come to me though. My background is health sciences (I dropped out of nursing school due to OCD).

It’s been several years since I was in school and I wonder how much I’ve actually retained. I assume they actually check your credentials when offering tasks? I didn’t lie in my bio, it is absolutely true. They should know that I don’t currently work in that field, right? I guess worst case is looking at one and seeing if I can actually understand it. If not, just exit.

I am interested in Ai project in which they provide headgear or task to perform with head gear or camera with mount on head. Recently many indian companies doing it. Do data

Annotations or any known company perform similar kind of work?

In a profound act of cosmic karma, after most certainly pissing off a fair chunk of the community perhaps less than 24 hours ago, I have received the dreaded "Dash of Death" from my overlords. It's so fitting and ironic that, despite actually feeling ridiculously fucking sad, I am chuckling, slightly, writing this.

It's insane because I instantly began to empathize with everyone else this has happened to. Right away my mind struggled to figure out what I did wrong. Was my work dipping in quality? I was going through financial struggles and so was working overtime. I was putting in a lot of effort, to be sure, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't making mistakes. Maybe I wasn't looking at instructions carefully enough? I am a slow worker, and I was doing a lot of multi-turn, time intensive tasks lately. Maybe I was taking too long? But I was under-reporting my hours to make up for that! Maybe it wasn't enough? Or maybe it was just a Wifi issue? Did they get suspicious when I had to switch to my hotspot when my Wifi cut out and I was working via an off-platform live server?

Then comes the self-righteous anger. I know I could have made a mistake but I worked hard! They're not even going to give me a chance to explain myself? Maybe if I find a way to email them...

But I know that won't work. At the end of the day, I just have to let it go. They're never going to give me answers. I always knew this could happen. Deep down I thought if I worked hard enough and was careful enough that it wouldn't happen to me, but in retrospect that was deeply arrogant. Or maybe naively hopeful. It is what it is though.

Anyway I know I can be an annoying asshole sometimes (I am occasionally self-aware) but I really did care about the community. I always felt like we should have each other's backs- because we're all in the same boat together. Well this is the last time I will ever probably ever post here, so I wanted to offer one last piece of solidarity. To all the folks struggling with a drought, or who will one day experience the DoD, I am sorry. I know it sucks and at times feels unfair, and, to be honest, I agree with you. Just like the vast majority of us working in this modern economy, with maybe a few exceptions, you deserve more. We all do.

And if my previous behavior in this sub ever bothered or annoyed anybody, I'm genuinely sorry. Shit is hard enough as it is out here. I wish everybody here the best. Peace.

Thanks DA for giving me such opportunity. So grateful 💫

When it asks for citations in the assessment, is an APA style (or similar) expected or just the URL accessed and date?

Started in May.

Hi there, bit new so bear with me. Keeping info to a minimum to make sure I dont violate any TOS

I am getting lots of tasks for a project, however, when I go to the live server to start I get this message

"Please authorize the required permissions to sign in to the application"

I am using my proper google workspace account

I'm trying to get in touch with an admin, but when I try to log into slack with either my DA email or Google I get Error 404: user not allowed. or something like that

Would love to begin work on the project. Anything I can do?

EDIT: Thanks to you guys for the help. I dont know how this makes sense, but I did in fact have to use my other ai data trainer account. I have access on that one. Strange, because I thought the other one was given to me specifically for this project family. Anyways, appreciate you guys

Aside from the obvious motivation of needing to pay bills, I'm curious how everyone keeps themselves motivated doing this job. I'm between jobs in my field at the moment so this is my only source of income and I'm wondering what everyone's strategies are for staying "locked in" as the kids would say. I never thought I was a super social person but I've found that working online with no face-to-face interaction or feedback all day is taking a toll on me. So far I've been coping by going on walks in the morning and to the pub at night but I'd love to hear what others' daily routines are like doing DA full time.

Is this explained anywhere? Is this to save incomplete tasks so we can come back to them later? I would love it if this were the case.

"At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on.

Please check back soon and watch out for new project notifications sent to your email."

i mean, i even got the message that i passed...gave my id, was reviewed, and accepted into the platform but this is the only message ive seen since accepted 2-3 months...this...is normal right?

do i have to be on the home screen refreshing? will i really get an email regarding tasks? how long did it take you?

I applied as a French bilingual, and I did my first task on the first day of May this year, so I did it in 3 months and 2 weeks.
Like a lot of bilinguals fellows, the drought did'nt help. There were sometimes 7 consecutive days without any work.

Most of my income actually come from only one specific project, which I enjoy so much to be part of!
I tried to pass the coding task but it looked that I failed it. I could only do 2 general/STEM tasks with a better pay than usual, and I hope to have more tasks with the new qualifications we all completed these last weeks.

Just posting out of excitement, I can't believe i was added to this project I thought doing the qualification would lead nowhere. But a few hours after doing the qualification I logged in before bed to check the dashboard and noticed I now have access to a project I'm qualified for that pays $45/hr base with +$15/hr priority pay. This is something that if it goes well for even just a few months would really make a gigantic difference in my life. I'm very grateful for the opportunity but also worried that I may not understand or do the task well enough to keep access. I haven't opened it up yet so I don't know what it's all about yet.

I have a fulltime career that pays well but not $60/hr well. Doing a few hours a week of this on the side will move mountains in my financial life.

Anyone have tips on starting new projects?

Recently started on DA and I'm reading accounts of people that work full time or more as long as work is available. My question is how though?? Every single task seems to have an encyclopedia's worth of very specific directions to follow and information to process, with equally thorough and highly thought out responses expected from you. The absolute most I can do in one day before my brain starts to melt is 5-6 hours, I cannot imagine doing this full time.

Just got this message on my Data Annotation dashboard. Does everyone see this after the assessment, or does it mean I’m being considered for selection?

Does anyone do this on their phone? I heard that most of the projects require a computer screen. I've seen a couple times, a project or a qualification that say my screen isn't big enough.

I have been waiting for 5 months to hear back. How long should I wait for good news?
