You’ll have the flexibility to work as much or as little as you choose - 20hrs/week is suggested, but not a limit.

@aud Outlier AI is the company they mention as their client: https://outlier.ai/

The post still looks sketchy, but they're not choosing your hourly rate based on a machine learning model.

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@[email protected] ahhh. Jesus, they really need to stop adding “AI” to their freaking names…

Alright, not quite as blatantly sketchy regarding their payment… but definitely still garbage. Still! Thank you for bringing this up. I absolutely assumed it was an ML model deciding pay.

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@[email protected] ah yeah, I read the more recent reply first, but that does seem to be the case.

With them positioning themselves as an entire “AI hiring pipeline”, they’re not leaving much doubt to give them the benefit of.

@aud I'm just so used to startups called "foobar AI" that seemed the obvious reading.

That's marketing techbro speak for "this is not a place of honor".

@aud @hipsterelectron I can't believe (yes I can) that they're out there fucking citing Lombroso?!

[wen@types.pl]

@aud @hipsterelectron what I genuinely cannot believe is that someone published new translations of Lombroso's writing in the early 2000s, and that's what they're citing

[wen@types.pl]

@aud @dalias @hipsterelectron @cthos we'll never find out who, but I'd like to have a word with their accepting reviewers more than anything

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@[email protected] @[email protected] whoa WHOA what the FUCK

Jesus, I didn’t bother reading it because… you don’t have to read it to know it’s trash. But they actually fucking cite him!? And with that language, no less! Not even really trying to hide it, are they? What in the fuck was anyone thinking with this paper. What the fuck happened??

[n1xnx@tilde.zone]

@aud
Gonna say, NOT better. If I don't get to know and agree to my final hourly rate and weekly hours in advance, then fuck them and the digital horse they rode in on.

That's my best and final offer.

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@[email protected] RIGHT? That's how I feel, too. Like I'm not gonna make an account or whatever the fuck without knowing what the hell I'm gonna earn. Fuck that noise.

@aud @Binder Some companies are crazy about this stuff. Someone who was just housesitting for us needs to file paperwork to say where they will be working remotely each week, and their pay is adjusted based on the local cost of living of wherever they happen to be while traveling.

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@[email protected] @[email protected] ... what the fuck?? As if the cost of their existing rent + a hotel (or whatever) = less than just rent alone and therefore the COL is less for that week?

what in the hell.
