I'm pretty sure the lemon lime game referred to in the article is supposed to be some trick where it always says you're wrong and you have to cheat (maybe in browser developer tools) to get a 7/7

Sounds like LemonLime is a recipe for burnout.

And in-office the whole time? Your power-trip and/or real estate portfolio is showing.

optimizes your existing data to work with AI

I think they are saying that if AI were able to ingest data without being massaged by people working non-stop or with minimal tweaking by the end-users then the need for this company to exist would vanish over night? Just my naive opinion but this seems like a risky investment as one model update could end their purpose.

Yeah, I used to work with a ton of “unhinged” people willing to take risks because it was the literal job requirement, being willing to jump out of a perfectly good airplane behind enemy lines, yet was completely optional as one has to both volunteer for jump school and could always refuse to jump with no real punishment... well, as long as you did the jump refusal on the ground and were willing to go wherever they decided to reassign you (Korea).

Even they didn't expect anyone to work seven days a week forever, we trained hard and were given plenty of downtime so nobody went (too) crazy.

Seems like they're trying to go back to the days of serfdom without the Sundays off bit...
