My birthday was Saturday so I've taken the last three days off. Back to it around 3 hours ago and I've already put the wrong age in at least three times... Maybe I should just stick to the AI stuff today...

 

What could a few thousand braindead robots need to scrape a 10 year old mturk forum for on a pleasant Monday morning? Who the hell knows, but I'm excited to see what ridiculous endpoint they swap to 5 minutes from now.

 

At some point it just sort of becomes a range and anyone asking for specific numbers is the one in the wrong.

 

I'm insanely tickled to know this recipe still lives on almost a decade later :emoji_sweat_smile:

Here is my new daily base meal (it gets 8oz of shredded crockpot chicken & eggs/the same canned salmon thrown into the rice cooker for it, I sub kale for spinach and corn for peas occasionally so it doesn't get boring):


I mix all this into 5-10 containers (including the broth) and freeze 'em then just dump the whole thing raw & frozen into a rice cooker. Those things are like magic way cooler than a crock pot (though can't do bulk sadly)

Some things never change :emoji_grin:

 

gonna be real honest i'm doing a lot better now than in the past but for a long long time there all the academic attention/drama really did a negative number on my mental health lol.. which was triply ironic cause growing up i always consider mental health to be kinda flimsy flamsy bs so yknow cows coming home to roost or w/e.

then it just became shameful to log in and not really know what to do with this place, weird waiting game always expecting mturk to finally just shut down and it seems to just never happen

sorry y'all (or those of you who still check in).. feels lame to be all debbie downer lmao but i swear not dead HOWEVER on the flip side when stuff does nuke no one really yells at me :emoji_joy: the last big thing the only thing i see is a DM from SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT BE NAMED (but will have their avatar only barely blurred for funsies) that just said 'hi' LMAO


least i think it was major, mturk just banned literally everyone? solid if so lol

 

banning 90% of people right before they stopped taking new requesters was real fun... we thought it might have been the most spotlighted shadow ban ever... nope probably just another intern pushing something to the production db...

 

This is what these studies provoke in me trying to interpret how you would even answer one way or another.

Thanks for keeping the forum going I prefer forums to reddits and discords.

 

@ChrisTurk also if you do decide to ever shuffle off this digital coil... you better let us know in writing at least 7 days in advance... signed, notarized, and delivered by chippy.

 

@ChrisTurk I would donate to a kickstarter or gofundme to keep the site running. I think others would too. We're all common souls.
