Antiwork 2: No One Is Getting A Pay Raise

Been working on 2 separate deals with a customer for ~2 years each. They've had their separate paths and challenges, and completely coincidentally after all that time both deals closed on the same day last week, which will bring an additional $3.9B (with a B) of revenue to my company.

Early days yet, but so far, nobody has said, "thank you." Apropos of the thread title, I'm definitely not getting a raise.

0.5% commission would be nice ;)

Speaking of AI....

From my inbox just now
We are creating a community of people who will complete tasks for the training of AI.
Examples of tasks are, photograph a receipt, take a screenshot of an email or text message, or photograph a business card or event advertisement.
Tasks typically pay $0.15-$0.40 per task. There is no limit on the number of tasks that you can complete.
To be considered, click the button below to confirm your interest and answer a couple of brief questions about the language(s) you speak.

I wonder if I could sabotage this....
 
I get those occasionally as well. It's usually pitched as a part-time remote/moonlighting gig and now they often aren't even mentioning that the job is training AI, but you can read between the lines when they say things like, "no meetings or calls, just step-by-step guides you follow when it suits."

I love that there are many extremely intelligent and savvy people out there who are working hard and creatively to poison LLM samples. Evidently it only takes a fractional part of the training set, these people are clever enough to make their efforts undetectable, and obviously ingest is automated so there's no effective human oversight.

Luddites FTW! Burn the tech bro fasc alive.

How to poison the data that Big Tech uses to surveil you

Algorithms are meaningless without good data. The public can exploit that to demand change.

Interesting but not overly helpful. Helps for people who are major users of online stuff. But I’ve never done FB, and have avoided using the cloud for privacy reasons already. The adnausium extension sounds interesting, but does it work if you already have an ad blocker running?

And the data strike thing isn’t described well enough to know what I can do.
 
A positive work thing for me recently. A book that I helped co-author a chapter on was recently published. Fish Hatchery Management, 3rd Edition may sound boring to you all but to me and many others, it is a super valuable culmination of several years worth of work to update and expand on the previous edition published in 2001. This one adds several chapters including several focusing on specific species commonly farmed in the United States and Canada for sportfishing or food. I got to co-author the chapter on Rainbow Trout and Steelhead after the other authors approached me needing help expanding on the sections covering Broodstock, Breeding, and egg and sac fry culture. Its the first time I have been a book chapter author and the the first publication I get to add to my CV since 2013 (working in private industry, I get less opportunity to publish).
