Fun article to write. I crowdsourced all those images on Mechanical Turk in about an hour. Best $2 I ever spent! :)

- dmils4 15y agoNice one. And that's awesome. Do you have the mturk job writeup? Curious to see how the description matches the actuals.
- tansey 15y agoI didn't save them. They were something along the lines of: "Draw a man in a cave being chased by a fire-breathing dragon. He is desperately trying to remove a bunch of stones that are blocking his path. A fairy and a forklift just appeared beside him." I can only hope that I made the turkers laugh a little bit when they saw that. :)
- dmils4 15y agoCool. Yeah, my favorite part of turk is using it for more creative jobs like this, had to ask. You should make this a habit with your blog posts - I'd read every post, just to see how a turker interprets your startup experiences.
- tansey 15y agoI actually am planning on doing that! I had an idea for one today that I'll probably post later next week.
- gwern 15y agoI actually thought this was kind of boring and wasn't going to upvote, until I read that the images were from Mechanical Turk and your instructions.
