I was literally just reached out to this morning about a contract job for one of these “high quality datasets”. They specifically wanted python programmers who’ve contributed to popular repos (I maintain one repository with approx. 300 stars).
The rate they offered was between $50-90 per hour, so significantly higher than what I’d think low-cost data labellers are getting.
Needless to say, I marked them as spam though. Harvesting emails through GitHub is dirty imo. Was also sad that the recruiter was acting on behalf of a yc company.
- apical_dendrite 1y agoThe latest offer I saw was $150-$210 an hour for 20hrs/week. I didn't pursue it so I don't know if that's what people actually make, but it's an interesting data point.
- antonvs 1y agoWhat kind of work was involved for that one? How specialist, I mean?
- Der_Einzige 1y agoDang - such a great opportunity for anyone which knows how to tweak their LLMs sampling settings. Whatever tricks they are using to try to detect folks who just answer with other LLM outputs will be defeated at high temperature with the weird settings and steering adapters I apply. If regular samplers still keep it getting detected, I can use https://github.com/sam-paech/antislop-sampler https://github.com/sam-paech/antislop-sampler to guarantee that it won't look AI generated. Send these my way. I'll be one of their most productive data labelers :)
- apical_dendrite 1y agoSure - where can I send you a referral link?

- nitwit005 1y agoI've noticed the price offered in reddit ads rise, which made me suspect this approach will simply cost too much. If they reached out like that it means they probably realized they weren't getting good results with people hired off of ads as well.
