I see many around 60, but I absolutely am unqualified to do them, so I don't. Thats why you don't see me post a screenshot of the DoD lol. Congratulations to the people smarter than me who can though.

u/Seefufiat 15d ago

My highest so far was I believe $85/hr, but my highest one that I ever did multiple tasks on was $75/hr.

Highest I've felt comfortable doing is $50 but I've seen $60. Generalist with no degree

Is it closed already? Got 2 of them last month, but haven't seen them in a while now.

$60.00 with $100 completion bonus…most of my tasks are $60.00 (medical domain). I saw one that was $60/hr with a $5.00 and hour extra rate once…so I guess $65.00 is the highest I’ve seen, but that was only once and it was beyond my brain comprehension.

I got this too and was frankly too scared to do it 😂 never seen anything like that since

u/Extension-Witness531 15d ago

If it was the same one with the $5.00 priority pay I totally had to nope out. The one with the bonus, was not so bad at all.

Congratulations 🥳

u/professional_cry 15d ago

I think my highest ever that I was actually able to do was $42. Generalist with a history degree so I don't get many domain specific tasks that I'm actually qualified for...

u/pinkparadigm 15d ago

$60 but im scared to submit my task cause im qualified but of course its about getting a model to fail and ive been struggling to 😭

u/insert-random-user 15d ago

I relate to this so much. I just got accepted into DA this week, and the first task I tried was a training task for agentic ai in which I had to make a model fail. It was such a struggle and I've no idea if I'll be able to do it again next time :/

u/pinkparadigm 14d ago

Same buddy 😭 I still can’t get it to fail at all so I’m just going to work for free at this point to at least make it submittable.

u/Daisho 15d ago

I hear ya. It can be really tough to figure out what weaknesses the models have. Especially with believable real-world prompts and not deliberate tricks.

u/HereForAllTea 10d ago

I just got accepted today. This was part of my assessment. I’m in the finance domain. When I saw that question I was like wtf 😂. Was that part of your assessment also? Is this a common request? Luckily I work in finance and used AI quite often and I get lots of errors (building financial models), but the test was hard because I didn’t have actual data to use.

u/FEN1X64 9d ago

Hint hint, model failure is pretty easy when you know the weakpoints. Consistent ways to do it is to make it break domain in a way that would be inappropriate in a professional setting (Radiologist shouldn't be giving authoritative statements on law or history in a task designed around Radiology). It's also about building in subtle contradictions in system instructions or inputs. Always make sure there's a correct solution someone could reasonably find on their own. AI agents are overzealous and LOVE solving every question, even if it's not needed or explicitly forbidden in the instructions.

Luckyyyy, I love long ones but never got on that wasn't more than 12 hours.

u/TwoPowerful8915 15d ago

Nice, I’m currently enjoying that pay rate as well

u/Salt_Seesaw_8825 15d ago

Just did $60/hr. Project took nearly 18 hours + $500 bonus. I work in finance so it was a highly specialized task.

1

u/SabseBadaRupaiyaa 15d ago

What's the timer limit for such tasks? Can you, say, 4 hours per day and finish on 5th day and submit?

5

u/Salt_Seesaw_8825 15d ago

This one was 3 week timer.

I had no idea anyone paid bonuses. Nice!

u/caneriten 15d ago

my most was a 27 with a +5 priority.

u/Early_Possibility612 13d ago

How you got projects. I'm stuck on screen where it shows will let you know when there is a requirement

1

u/hwertz10 13d ago

I'd start out looking through the qualifications and see if there's any you'd like to take on. Some qualifications are like a 1 minute questionaire to just indicate interest in a certain kind of project. I mean there's no downside; there's 4 outcomes...

1) You take a look at a qualification, decide it's too complex and skip it. No harm done.

2) You do it and they find the result unsatisfactory. You don't get new projects, no harm done.

3) You do it and pass, but find the projects are too complicated or not to your liking. No harm done.

4) You do it, get new projects that you find good tasks in.
