Google to cut thousands of search quality rater jobs after dropping contract with Appen::Appen says the termination notice goes into affect on March 19, 2024.
Google was paying people to rate their search quality?
Was the one requirement that they had to REALLY love pinterest?
Paying then to rate it is not the same as getting them to improve search.
Good, they weren’t doing a great job. Maybe Google is going to move this in house.
They'll probably try to use AI
Let Google fail.
Postscript. A Google spokesperson told us that the quality rater work contracted with Appen will be moved to other suppliers and away from Appen.
I was just looking at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and it listed appen as a site that breached my details. I had no idea who they were or why they had my details. I guess this is related?
Appen: In June 2020, the AI training data company Appen suffered a data breach exposing the details of almost 5.9 million users which were subsequently sold online. Included in the breach were names, email addresses and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. Some records also contained phone numbers, employers and IP addresses. The data was provided to HIBP by dehashed.com.
Well, there goes Google for real this time.
wow how could this have appen-ed
