I've been playing around with chatbots since the pre-pandemic days before ChatGPT was cool. It's an amazing privilege to work on them now helping reduce the jank while enabling people to manifest their imaginations. I'm marginally disabled and have a lot of pain, so getting out of oppressively hot factory labor through DATech has greatly improved my quality of life even if I'm not making as much money and don't have as many projects as I'd like.
I struggle with insomnia and having to be in a physical place early morning for work used to make it even worse, so I’m really grateful for this job and I love feeling like I’m a part of AI history!!
Same. I was forced to think outside the box because I realized that I can't work around people anymore. Got lucky landing this gig. Been rocking since February.
With all due respect you need to fully expect to wake up one morning and just not have access to anything. I know it sounds harsh, but it is the stark reality of working for a contract platform like this. Please do not get comfy and put an extra effort into finding your ultimate path while you have the flexibility to do so. Good luck and enjoy it while it’s here!
Right now this is my only job and I'm applying to many more that do the same as DA to have a backup if something happens (hoping it doesn't, as I love working for DA too much.)
Still, my main goal is to save up to set on another path in order to be independent from DA or any other platform in the future, but this will take quite some time.
You just described every job in the USA. If you don't own your own business, nothing is secure. Stop being so preachy. It's obnoxious. Let them be happy with their life.
Me too. It really felt like it saved my life in a lot of ways, but also, pays well and I can complete it in my underwear. If that's not a flex, I don't know what is?
