Anyone do the 45.00 Stanford HCI hit? It looks terrible it says it will take like 5 hours.

You probably don't want to invest that kind of time. Reading is hard.

 

[Aydiarose]

I'd do this myself if someone wrote a TM that would let you create groups and actually nest them together and minimize the ones you're not using at the moment. I know Tubedogg wrote one that had groups but it was basically just a labeling system

Oh my.

Q. There are some sentences like "white man eating orange" that are incorrect. What should I do in this case? ---- Answer: Unfortunately, I have some malicious workers who did over 20,000 hits and gave me only bad data. It was really hard to clean up all that data and I am still cleaning them up. I have since then located and blocked 3 of these workers. I apologize to everyone else for the inconvinience. If you find a sentence that has nothing to do with the image, then please create an object called "bad sentence" and draw a box anywhere in the image. This will help me get rid of these bad sentences.

I completed one of those VG at 7 minutes 30 seconds, so now that the pay is raised going at that speed it may be $4 an hour, I guess that's better than $2

Probably better than what VDX is paying people these days.

Yeah apparently some people were scamming running bots or something I assume the bots just drew random boxes or something not sure how that would work

I'm increasing my chances by lighting Jeff Bezos votive candles every day along with turning my gigantic Tibetan Jeff Bezos prayer wheel.

I wondered what caused them! Too bad you can't skip over them anymore though. I like doing a few of them as TV watching filler. Mindless.

I come back to find a calm board. I'm disappointed in all of you.

This is their fault.
I mean I get that we should be responsible - and I am! But we all knew that there were problems with what people were submitting on these HITS (just based on how fast some people were reporting completing them). If we knew, then they should have been watching this from the beginning and weeding out those 'bad apples.'

Crowdsourcing doesn't self-monitor. They need to watch their data

We got pretty wild earlier, discussing how we ran HITs on TurkMaster. Never a dull moment here.
