02/13 - Waggin' Tail Wednesday!

Holy shit again... I think I found Yi Luo. She's a phd student for the neural acoustics lab at Columbia University and I'm like 95% sure she is posting her phd work as tasks on mturk. The hits she posted were having you rate quality of audio recordings.

I just emailed her at her university email to ask if she was the same person (she totally is).You guys think if this is confirmed, I should email her school's organization to tell them she isn't being ethical about her phd work? I mean it seems pretty serious to pass of work to turkers and then scam them out of their money. idk

 

Gonna try for a record on mturk for me tomorrow. Things need to change.

This is the creepiest shit I've seen all day.

Ran into profile picture tags on FB today. "Woman in living room with lighting behind her, wearing a wide brimmed hat." in blue text before her photo loads.

 

I suppose I could have just linked to the article instead of reddit http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2019/02/12/vocal-bursts-human-sounds-communicate-wordless/

 

I slept through all day so not doing that would be an improvement.

 

That goddamn brick strikes again.

 

Sometimes just existing is exhausting. I feel it.

 

Why are you striking people with it?!

WHO HURT YOU?!

 

Well that might actually make a good new use for it.

 

I've been in "oh you will have a new job soon" zone for like 2 or 3 months slowly working through phonetag hell. I mean I appreciate what my uncle is doing but I hope that I'm moved out and working at a proper job sooner rather than later.

I like to dress it up and call it my boyfriend. Great for those pesky dinner parties!

Oh? Alone again? NOPE! THIS IS MY NEW BOYFRIEND, BRICK BRICKLY! And he has a jealous streak.

 

I like you.
