    No, I mean, I enter 10 trainings, and then the send button becomes unresponsive and the last command scrolls until the connection with the server terminates and I get a "can't post/chat__" redirect. Reloading the frame gives "sorry, no hit's available, please return"

    Hhmmmm. That's a little different. Noahs aren't always very reliable, I think we all go into them knowing that unfortunately.

    It wouldn't be so bad except I haven't even hit 30 on the day and I usually either get the 13 or 8 bonus, so the extra ~20 would have been nice.

    For the dragon HITs? If so, I've never had to type 'submit'.

    Which adds to the frustration when they pay well & you lose the HIT.

    I had to type "submit" on my Train your Dragon HIT tonight.

    First time for me. It seemed the only option after passing the requirements. No submission button.

    Yeah, being able to go past 10 teachings is pretty new. It used to be autosubmit after naming the 10th teaching but now it's a minimum of 10, and up to 20. Type 'submit' to submit after reaching 10 if you don't wanna go to 20.

    Huh.. I did 2 of them today and the first one I went for 13 or 14 and wondered why it was taking so long. :lol: Second one I was ready for and wanted to end it at 10, and had to do it manually.

    Sometimes I just wonder... Who is paying all this money to have 50 different ways to paraphrase 'pick up blue ring' 'go tower' 'hit troll' and 'eat bread' ? And how are these paraphrases useful in any commercially applied application? I mean, I get the banking ones where they want us to rephrase stuff that's asked to virtual assistants, but I don't get the paraphrasing of what's essentially a combination of "pick up" "drop" "wield" "eat" and "go".

    if I had to wild shot in the dark guess I'd say he's an academic researcher (though tbh I've never done the HITs). Its probably less the paraphrasing and more how his AI learns from the commands & evolves.

    Also the more fun wild speculation (..and the only reason I hopped on this): its not like there isn't $ in online gaming bots.. I remember seeing an article a few weeks back of one of the major cs;go scripters being a millionaire. We're training that next gen D&D / WoW VR experience / chinese gold farming bot :emoji_money_mouth::emoji_joy:

    A video game developer, a company that does AI, one that does voice recognition or some other speech recognition. These days, quite a few would pay the money for it.

    Excellent question... and all I can really say for sure is machine learning. Noah (aka Noah Robinson) has been dropping all sorts of strange stuff on us for a while now. First HITs he put out were they creepy wire-frame models that made 'talking' animations and we had to judge which ones were more 'interested in conversation'... weird stuff, man.
    At its core, seems like dragon HITs are just trying to link up a known set of commands with natural English until system can perform the desired commands when it's given natural language.

    He's not academic; he works for an AI and Deep Learning company in NYC. I'd say more, but pretty much their only web presence I can find is LinkedIn, and sharing that is coming dangerously close to doxxing (it's a very small startup from what I can tell lol)
