Being a Turk myself: what do I have to do, to get my money?
After looking into this: is this name racist?
Amazon Turk pays like trash too. Though, if you have a favorable currency conversion ratio, might not be bad for you.
Looked into it a few years ago to see if I could use it for some extra spending money when I was bored. Wasn’t worth it.
Yeah, I played with it a couple of times to see what it was like. I now have about eighty cents in us currency sitting in my PayPal. Woo.
I did it years ago when I was a teenager with no real job. There were a bunch of higher-paying jobs like lecture transcription that would be a few bucks each. I made enough to buy a GPU off Amazon (~$80, some of which was from a leftover gift card).
Now I’m sure that ML-AI can do those jobs much faster and cheaper, for about the same accuracy.
What’s a turker? I’ve never heard that term before, aside from final fantasy viii.
If you can’t guess it, you could read the first sentence of the article.
“A workers rights group for Mechanical Turk workers says that at least dozens of MTurk workers have been suddenly locked out of the Amazon-owned microlabor platform, suggesting a widespread issue that is denying these people the ability to work and in some cases denying them access to money they have already made on the platform.”
Yea, that really helped (it didn’t).
