Get Paid to be Human

Well, sort of. Chris just pointed this out to me. It’s sort of a mass outsourcing agency created by Amazon, in which humans are organized like computers to solve problems that computers aren’t good at. I’m sure there are applications for this that are more practical than this project but, on the other hand, how else could you gather 10,000 drawings of sheep facing left?

I checked this out a while ago.
The tasks available worth more than a few bucks are also very time consuming to complete, so totally not worth anyone’s time unless your time is not actually worth a dime.

I took a very brief look at the listings of completed tasks and arrived at much the same conclusion. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would find it attractive, unless perhaps they lived in a foreign country with a very low standard of living. Still it’s kind of hard to imagine that the income would even offset the ISP fees.
