I assure you, an AI didn’t write a terrible “George Carlin” routine

There are only TWO MORE DAYS left in the Kickstarter for the audiobook of The Bezzle, the sequel to Red Team Blues, narrated by @wilwheaton! You can pre-order the audiobook and ebook, DRM free, as well as the hardcover, signed or unsigned. There's also bundles with Red Team Blues in ebook, audio or paperback.

On Hallowe'en 1974, Ronald Clark O'Bryan murdered his son with poisoned candy. He needed the insurance money, and he knew that Halloween poisonings were rampant, so he figured he'd get away with it. He was wrong:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Clark_O%27Bryan

The stories of Hallowe'en poisonings were just that – stories. No one was poisoning kids on Hallowe'en – except this monstrous murderer, who mistook rampant scare stories for truth and assumed (incorrectly) that his murder would blend in with the crowd.

Last week, the dudes behind the "comedy" podcast Dudesy released a "George Carlin" comedy special that they claimed had been created, holus bolus, by an AI trained on the comedian's routines. This was a lie. After the Carlin estate sued, the dudes admitted that they had written the (remarkably unfunny) "comedy" special:

https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/01/george-carlins-heirs-sue-comedy-podcast-over-ai-generated-impression/

As I've written, we're nowhere near the point where an AI can do your job, but we're well past the point where your boss can be suckered into firing you and replacing you with a bot that fails at doing your job:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/15/passive-income-brainworms/#four-hour-work-week

AI systems can do some remarkable party tricks, but there's a huge difference between producing a plausible sentence and a good one. After the initial rush of astonishment, the stench of botshit becomes unmistakable:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/03/botshit-generative-ai-imminent-threat-democracy

Some of this botshit comes from people who are sold a bill of goods: they're convinced that they can make a George Carlin special without any human intervention and when the bot fails, they manufacture their own botshit, assuming they must be bad at prompting the AI.

This is an old technology story: I had a friend who was contracted to livestream a Canadian awards show in the earliest days of the web. They booked in multiple ISDN lines from Bell Canada and set up an impressive Mbone encoding station on the wings of the stage. Only one problem: the ISDNs flaked (this was a common problem with ISDNs!). There was no way to livecast the show.

Nevertheless, my friend's boss's ordered him to go on pretending to livestream the show. They made a big deal of it, with all kinds of cool visualizers showing the progress of this futuristic marvel, which the cameras frequently lingered on, accompanied by overheated narration from the show's hosts.

The weirdest part? The next day, my friend – and many others – heard from satisfied viewers who boasted about how amazing it had been to watch this show on their computers, rather than their TVs. Remember: there had been no stream. These people had just assumed that the problem was on their end – that they had failed to correctly install and configure the multiple browser plugins required. Not wanting to admit their technical incompetence, they instead boasted about how great the show had been. It was the Emperor's New Livestream.

Perhaps that's what happened to the Dudesy bros. But there's another possibility: maybe they were captured by their own imaginations. In "Genesis," an essay in the 2007 collection The Creationists, EL Doctorow (no relation) describes how the ancient Babylonians were so poleaxed by the strange wonder of the story they made up about the origin of the universe that they assumed that it must be true. They themselves weren't nearly imaginative enough to have come up with this super-cool tale, so God must have put it in their minds:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/29/gedankenexperimentwahn/#high-on-your-own-supply

That seems to have been what happened to the Air Force colonel who falsely claimed that a "rogue AI-powered drone" had spontaneously evolved the strategy of killing its operator as a way of clearing the obstacle to its main objective, which was killing the enemy:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/ayyyyyy-eyeeeee/

This never happened. It was – in the chagrined colonel's words – a "thought experiment." In other words, this guy – who is the USAF's Chief of AI Test and Operations – was so excited about his own made up story that he forgot it wasn't true and told a whole conference-room full of people that it had actually happened.

Maybe that's what happened with the George Carlinbot 3000: the Dudesy dudes fell in love with their own vision for a fully automated luxury Carlinbot and forgot that they had made it up, so they just cheated, assuming they would eventually be able to make a fully operational Battle Carlinbot.

That's basically the Theranos story: a teenaged "entrepreneur" was convinced that she was just about to produce a seemingly impossible, revolutionary diagnostic machine, so she faked its results, abetted by investors, customers and others who wanted to believe:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theranos

The thing about stories of AI miracles is that they are peddled by both AI's boosters and its critics. For boosters, the value of these tall tales is obvious: if normies can be convinced that AI is capable of performing miracles, they'll invest in it. They'll even integrate it into their product offerings and then quietly hire legions of humans to pick up the botshit it leaves behind. These abettors can be relied upon to keep the defects in these products a secret, because they'll assume that they've committed an operator error. After all, everyone knows that AI can do anything, so if it's not performing for them, the problem must exist between the keyboard and the chair.

But this would only take AI so far. It's one thing to hear implausible stories of AI's triumph from the people invested in it – but what about when AI's critics repeat those stories? If your boss thinks an AI can do your job, and AI critics are all running around with their hair on fire, shouting about the coming AI jobpocalypse, then maybe the AI really can do your job?

https://locusmag.com/2020/07/cory-doctorow-full-employment/

There's a name for this kind of criticism: "criti-hype," coined by Lee Vinsel, who points to many reasons for its persistence, including the fact that it constitutes an "academic business-model":

https://sts-news.medium.com/youre-doing-it-wrong-notes-on-criticism-and-technology-hype-18b08b4307e5

That's four reasons for AI hype:

to win investors and customers;

to cover customers' and users' embarrassment when the AI doesn't perform;

AI dreamers so high on their own supply that they can't tell truth from fantasy;

A business-model for doomsayers who form an unholy alliance with AI companies by parroting their silliest hype in warning form.

But there's a fifth motivation for criti-hype: to simplify otherwise tedious and complex situations. As Jamie Zawinski writes, this is the motivation behind the obvious lie that the "autonomous cars" on the streets of San Francisco have no driver:

https://www.jwz.org/blog/2024/01/driverless-cars-always-have-a-driver/

GM's Cruise division was forced to shutter its SF operations after one of its "self-driving" cars dragged an injured pedestrian for 20 feet:

https://www.wired.com/story/cruise-robotaxi-self-driving-permit-revoked-california/

One of the widely discussed revelations in the wake of the incident was that Cruise employed 1.5 skilled technical remote overseers for every one of its "self-driving" cars. In other words, they had replaced a single low-waged cab driver with 1.5 higher-paid remote operators.

As Zawinski writes, SFPD is well aware that there's a human being (or more than one human being) responsible for every one of these cars – someone who is formally at fault when the cars injure people or damage property. Nevertheless, SFPD and SFMTA maintain that these cars can't be cited for moving violations because "no one is driving them."

But figuring out who which person is responsible for a moving violation is "complicated and annoying to deal with," so the fiction persists.

(Zawinski notes that even when these people are held responsible, they're a "moral crumple zone" for the company that decided to enroll whole cities in nonconsensual murderbot experiments.)

Automation hype has always involved hidden humans. The most famous of these was the "mechanical Turk" hoax: a supposed chess-playing robot that was just a puppet operated by a concealed human operator wedged awkwardly into its carapace.

This pattern repeats itself through the ages. Thomas Jefferson "replaced his slaves" with dumbwaiters – but of course, dumbwaiters don't replace slaves, they hide slaves:

https://www.stuartmcmillen.com/blog/behind-the-dumbwaiter/

The modern Mechanical Turk – a division of Amazon that employs low-waged "clickworkers," many of them overseas – modernizes the dumbwaiter by hiding low-waged workforces behind a veneer of automation. The MTurk is an abstract "cloud" of human intelligence (the tasks MTurks perform are called "HITs," which stands for "Human Intelligence Tasks").

This is such a truism that techies in India joke that "AI" stands for "absent Indians." Or, to use Jathan Sadowski's wonderful term: "Potemkin AI":

https://reallifemag.com/potemkin-ai/

This Potemkin AI is everywhere you look. When Tesla unveiled its humanoid robot Optimus, they made a big flashy show of it, promising a $20,000 automaton was just on the horizon. They failed to mention that Optimus was just a person in a robot suit:

https://www.siliconrepublic.com/machines/elon-musk-tesla-robot-optimus-ai

Likewise with the famous demo of a "full self-driving" Tesla, which turned out to be a canned fake:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-video-promoting-self-driving-was-staged-engineer-testifies-2023-01-17/

The most shocking and terrifying and enraging AI demos keep turning out to be "Just A Guy" (in Molly White's excellent parlance):

https://twitter.com/molly0xFFF/status/1751670561606971895

And yet, we keep falling for it. It's no wonder, really: criti-hype rewards so many different people in so many different ways that it truly offers something for everyone.

Mastering HIT Scraper For MTurk The Complete Guide

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a popular platform for earning extra income by completing micro-tasks, known as Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs). One of the most effective tools for maximizing your productivity and earnings on MTurk is HIT Scraper, part of the BZTurk extension. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about using HIT Scrapper for MTurk, including setting it up, using it strategically, and optimizing your workflow to earn more money in less time.

What is a HIT Scraper?

A tool designed to help MTurk workers (Turkers) find and accept HITs more efficiently. Unlike manually refreshing the HITs page and searching for tasks, HIT Scraper automatically scans for new HITs that match your criteria and accepts them for you. This automation saves time and increases your chances of grabbing high-paying tasks before they disappear.

Setting Up HIT Scrapper for MTurk

To get started with BZTurk, follow these steps:

1. Install the BZTurk Extension: HIT Scrapper is part of the BZTurk extension, a comprehensive toolset for MTurk workers. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store or the Firefox Add-ons page.

2. Access MTurk HIT Catcher: Once the BZTurk extension is installed, click on the BZTurk icon in your browser’s toolbar. From the dropdown menu, select “HIT Scraper for MTurk.”

3. Configure Your Settings: Before you start scraping HITs, take some time to configure the settings. You can set the search interval (how often HIT Scraper checks for new HITs), the number of HITs to scrape simultaneously, and other preferences. The primary role of the Hit Scrapper is to find HITs. go to the settings and update them. Then, Start Hit Finder. Auto Hit Catcher will work in the background.

Using HIT Scraper Strategically

1. Set Up Watchers for High-Paying HITs: Use HIT Scraper to monitor specific requesters or types of HITs that you know pay well. By setting up watchers, HIT Scraper for mturk will prioritize these tasks, increasing your chances of catching them as soon as they become available.

2. Adjust Search Intervals: The default search interval might not always be optimal. Experiment with different intervals to find a balance between frequent searches and not overloading the system. Shorter intervals can help scrape HITs faster but may also increase the risk of getting rate-limited by MTurk.

3. Use Custom Watcher Groups: If you work on different types of HITs, create custom Watcher groups to organize your searches. For example, you can have one group for surveys, another for transcription tasks, and another for data entry. This organization helps you quickly switch focus based on the available tasks.

4. Monitor Your Queue: While HIT Scraper can automatically accept HITs, it’s essential to monitor your queue to ensure you’re not overwhelmed with more tasks than you can handle within the allotted time. Managing your queue helps maintain a steady workflow without risking expired HITs.

Optimizing Your Workflow

To maximize your earnings on MTurk using HIT Scrapper, follow these optimization tips:

1. Prioritize High-Paying HITs: Focus on scraping and completing HITs that offer higher pay rates. Use HIT Scraper to monitor these tasks and prioritize them over lower-paying ones.

2. Track Your Performance: Keep track of your accepted and completed HITs to analyze your performance. Use this data to adjust your strategies and identify which types of HITs are the most profitable for you.

3. Stay Updated on HIT Availability: Join MTurk forums, subreddits, and social media groups where Turkers share information about high-paying HITs and active requesters. Staying connected with the MTurk community helps you stay informed about new opportunities.

4. Take Breaks and Avoid Burnout: Working on MTurk can be intense, especially when using tools like HIT Scraper. Remember to take regular breaks to avoid burnout and maintain productivity.

Conclusion

HIT Scrapper, as part of the BZTurk extension, is a powerful tool that can help you increase your earnings on MTurk. By setting it up correctly and using it strategically, you can make the most of your time and earn more money in less time. So why wait?

I’m Looking For Legit MTurk Alternatives

Hello, everyone. I'm going to share a short story followed by a question.

Around 10 years ago, I started doing various tasks on Amazon MTurk. It was a nice way to make a little extra money, even if it was just spare change. There were even times when I could find short writing-related tasks. Basically, I enjoyed my time there because it was nice to change things up every now and then. Then one day, I was told they couldn't verify me, so I couldn't use MTurk anymore. I even contacted them a few years later to try again, which they allowed, and they still couldn't verify me. I honestly have no idea why because I sent everything they required, but unfortunately, I figured I should just throw in the towel. So here is my question, does anyone know of any legit MTurk alternatives? I'd prefer websites over apps (but I'm open to apps) that pay via PayPal. I'm not looking for anything that I need a paid membership to use (I don't know if that's a thing with MTurk alternatives, but I just wanted to clarify that one). Please, I'm looking for serious, legit answers only. I'm not going to respond to any spam. If anyone knows of any alternatives, thank you in advance. I'll also search for alternatives on my own, but I thought I'd see if anyone has any experience on any of the websites or apps. Thank you so much, and I hope you all have a great weekend! :)

Combined my two tiny side-hustles into one, by setting up my tiny Mechanical Turk account to wire transfer directly into my tiny E*Trade account.

I love that the process for setting that up was actually quick and simple to do, just using the Mechanical Turk website and the E*Trade app.

I love the fact that I can work as hard as I can manage with a broken tooth and a dying tooth (one on each side, I've been chewing on the cavity for a year) and I still cannot save even $10 towards getting dental treatment (2 impacted wisdom teeth, + tooth broken off under the gum, + bad cavity) because I barely make enough to cover my food and board and the insane energy bill

How to Earn $50 Per Day on Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing marketplace that enables individuals and businesses to outsource tasks to a distributed workforce, known as "Workers," to perform tasks that computers cannot easily do. Tasks, known as Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs), can include data processing, image labeling, transcription, and more. Workers can browse available HITs, complete them, and receive compensation for their work. MTurk is often used for tasks that require human judgment or intelligence and is widely used for research, data validation, and content moderation, among other purposes. Types of Work Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) offers a wide variety of tasks, known as Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs), that workers can complete for compensation. Here is a list of common types of HITs found on MTurk:

1. Surveys: Completing surveys for academic research, market analysis, or customer feedback.

2. Data Entry: Entering data from one source into another, such as transcribing receipts or copying text from images.

3. Transcription: Listening to audio recordings and typing out the spoken content, such as transcribing interviews or podcasts.

4. Content Moderation: Reviewing user-generated content, such as images or comments, to ensure it meets a platform's guidelines.

5. Image Tagging: Adding descriptive tags to images to improve searchability and categorization.

These are just a few examples, and the types of tasks available on MTurk can vary widely depending on the needs of Requesters (those who post tasks) and current market demands.

1. Focus on High-Paying Tasks: While it's tempting to complete as many HITs as possible, focusing on high-paying tasks can significantly increase your earnings on Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Tasks like surveys, transcription, and data analysis often pay better than simpler tasks. Look for HITs that offer a higher pay rate per task and prioritize these to maximize your earning potential.

3. Work During Peak Hours: Working during peak hours, such as during the day on weekdays, can increase your chances of finding lucrative tasks. Requesters often post more HITs during these times, giving you more opportunities to earn money. Keep an eye on the availability of HITs and try to schedule your work hours accordingly to maximize your earnings potential,By using the "bzturk" extension to identify peak hours, you can optimize your work schedule and maximize your earnings on Amazon Mechanical Turk.

4. Diversify Your Tasks: While focusing on high-paying tasks is important, it's also beneficial to diversify your tasks to find what works best for you. Trying different types of HITs can help you identify tasks that are more profitable or enjoyable for you to complete. Experimenting with different tasks can also help you discover new opportunities to earn money on MTurk.

5. Set Realistic Goals: Setting a daily earnings goal of $50 per day is a great way to stay motivated and focused on MTurk. Break down your goal into smaller, achievable targets to track your progress and celebrate your achievements. Setting realistic goals can help you stay motivated and maintain a positive attitude towards your work on MTurk.

6. Stay Active and Consistent: Consistency is key to success on MTurk. Regularly checking for new HITs and working consistently can help you maintain a steady income stream. The more active and consistent you are, the more opportunities you'll have to earn money on MTurk.

7. Build Relationships with Requesters: Building relationships with Requesters can lead to more work opportunities and potentially higher earnings. Some Requesters offer bonuses or prefer to assign tasks to Workers they trust. By providing high-quality work and communicating effectively, you can build a good reputation and increase your chances of securing more work from these Requesters.

8. Utilize Qualifications: Some HITs on MTurk require specific qualifications. Working on obtaining these qualifications can open up higher-paying tasks and increase your earning potential. Keep an eye out for qualification opportunities and complete any necessary tests to improve your qualifications and access more lucrative HITs.

9. Keep Track of Your Earnings: Tracking your earnings is essential to monitor your progress and identify areas where you can improve. Use a spreadsheet or other tracking method to record your earnings, the tasks you've completed, and any feedback you've received. Analyzing this data can help you identify patterns, optimize your workflow, and increase your overall earnings on MTurk.
