It’s the AI model that looks like a more generic/“professional” xkcd. All the most useless Powerpoint presentations are wearing it these days.

If you can't pay $20k to have a guy in India pilot a humanoid robot around your house to collect training data, you can cut out the middleman/bot.

I've never heard of Visora before, so let me make sure I've got this right.

Visora is kinda "Mechanical Turk" broker for paying people (a pittance) to build data sets for training slop machines, right?

Are they saying that someone somewhere is paying people through the Visora platform to get them to create/provide footage of house cleaning being done from the perspective of the person doing the cleaning? (I'm guessing in order ostensibly to... I dunno... train robots to clean houses or something?)

Or am I missing the point Visora is trying to make entirely?

You are correct. There are sweatshop workers in india who do something similar to this.

In order for that data to be usable, it needs to be cleaned up, categorised, and labeled by a human. They aren't lying about that, they're lying about how the finished product is supposed to be used.

If you did 80 hours a week and tools couple weeks off a year, you could make a cool $12,000 before taxes.

I mean, I too am unemployed currently, and I’d be more than happy to just do something like this every time I clean anyway, if that was a possibility. That’d be two-ish hours a day, and while not very much per week, less than 15 hours, that’s still some 45€ or so more per week I’d make otherwise, while not doing anything extra, just the same things I would’ve done anyway.

But this is something that gives pittance to betray working class as a whole long term, since it’d feed the machines taking away even the menial mechanical jobs at least I thought would be safe.

So I for one am not doing this or equivalent work, even if I can fully see why it’d be even life changing potentially. For some, me included, that’s money that crosses the threshold of getting to buy new shoes for the kid instead of having them get wet feet with worn and torn ones months longer than you’d want just to save up..

The funniest thing about this is that it's grifters grifting people in order use the data they collect to grift other grifters. I cannot picture the "training data" they acquire ever being worth even the pittance they pay the low level marks this ad is aimed at.

the latest fad is to use other ais to do classification, which is why we're getting model collapse.

We're working towards a reality where if you don't monetize every waking moment of your life you will fall behind on what the algorithm sets as the minimum payment threshold to survive.

Particularly since it is rooted in the fallacy that chores are purely vision based.

Driving a car has been tricky, but at least vaguely plausible because alit is a vision/audio based task with course inputs. General manual labor gets into more complex dextrous manipulation and feeling, and machine learning isn't great at extrapolating vision to things that aren't vision based. They don't watch a steering wheel with a camera, they track exactly what forces are provided. Watching a hand do something isn't that helpful to make a machine move a hand in a similar way.

It is why despite the stocastic parrots making for some incredible looking interactions, human shaped robots still look useless in the most advanced demos they have mustered.

Can I just spoof it with some found cleaning footage? at 0.8 speed so it just looks like I'm slow.

a 10 hour video could be a career!
