Tagging scenes Genders in the scene Positions etc... I'm curious how ML will do that, not how but accuracy would be cool to make (train) the model. Also with thumbnails that capture the viewer's attention. The other jobs were brute searching sites in hopes to improve SEO. Transcribing photos of receipts (funny those ads, some poor schmuck being paid 12 cents per 10 min job). Oh I remember an awkward one it was some s…

> The other jobs were brute searching sites in hopes to improve SEO. I'm curious on how this works. Do you basically search for specific keywords and click on specific URLs in order to signal Google that the URL is more relevant?

That sememed to be the basis of it but this was a couple of years ago or more say 2010-2012 something like that man that was a while back wow.

Yeah you had to search some term and find the link. It seemed to work as they would be beyond the first page result usually or at least not #1 but say #4 on page 1.

But it could be biased you know based on your own search history I often check externally with say Tor to see how sites rank from other viewpoints than my own.

Anyway hope that is helpful. You could also just sign up and look around. I think I still have a 99.99% satisfaction rate a lot of jobs you need something close to that to apply but it is shit work though. Some go up to $1.00+ woweee but those take like half an hour to do it's ridiculous.

User, it appears you are trying to upload a photo displaying negative emotions. Please upload a new photo expressing a happiness quotient of at least .75 as per terms and conditions.

Excellent. But more likely this user will see an uptick in ads for self-help products and antidepressants.

And lose their jobs, mortgages, insurance, etc., to low scoring resulting from data mining.

I wonder more about how this data affects what the people they know see.

Red flag of what, though? Eg, I stay away from social media, and create burners for just about everything (rotating burners semi frequently depending on how many random details I post, etc) - so what am I an indicator of? I try to be a Ghost. I'm sure a ghost is an indicator for some things, but the majority of it is just speculation right? I have trouble thinking of how a lack of information about someone could be h…

> Red flag of what, though? If your employer/government/etc asks you for your facebook/google+/instagram/snapchat/etc account and you say you don't have any, it might come off as being suspicious. As if you are trying to hide something. The same thing with your banks/financial institutes/etc.

Well I guess that's what I meant by information vs actually being harmful. I expect it to have negative effects to loans/employers/etc.

i would be surprised if it did. from my limited knowledge of targeted advertising, the ads aren't based on network data but individual behavior.

Please read the article and contribute something useful instead of your off-broadway Black Mirror episode.

The algorithm didn't focus much on emotions of the subjects in the photos.

And in 10 years, this will be a part of your Citizen Score. I should burn this nickname and be more diligent about persona management. Or get off social media entirely.

> Or get off social media entirely. That will also be part of your Citizen Score, or it will impact your life like having a bad Citizen Score. Kind of like how you can't get a loan because you haven't had a loan before and you don't have a credit rating.

It certainly will be as long as people sit around moaning about what is going to be imposed on them rather than asserting any opinions about how society should work.

It's possible and mutually beneficial to instead send that user targeted ads for therapy, suicide hotline etc...which is effectively what happens.

The cynical dystopian insinuation around technology, on a technology site no less, is getting old.
