I just need to rant somewhere. I’ve been looking for work for a long time, and so LinkedIn is part of the sites I regularly check for jobs.
Today I had a message from some asshat saying they’ve launched an AI marketplace and behold, they need my help to improve it! I could be making thousands a week detecting fringe cases that AI isn’t yet good at solving! And I could be making friends with like minded assholes I mean creative experts helping AI!
Doesn’t it sound like a dream???
The worst part is that I don’t think it was a scam. For sure one wouldn’t be making thousands per week, I’m sure that’s misleading, but the rest of the platform sounded believable enough. Which means there’s going to be plenty of “experts” flocking to it.
I’ve worked for those. The hourly rate is real but you barely get any hours and you have to fight like dogs with other contractos to click fast enough when work becomes available.
