I’ve never heard of Visora before, so let me make sure I’ve got this right.
Visora is kinda “Mechanical Turk” broker for paying people (a pittance) to build data sets for training slop machines, right?
Are they saying that someone somewhere is paying people through the Visora platform to get them to create/provide footage of house cleaning being done from the perspective of the person doing the cleaning? (I’m guessing in order ostensibly to… I dunno… train robots to clean houses or something?)
Or am I missing the point Visora is trying to make entirely?
I mean, I too am unemployed currently, and I’d be more than happy to just do something like this every time I clean anyway, if that was a possibility. That’d be two-ish hours a day, and while not very much per week, less than 15 hours, that’s still some 45€ or so more per week I’d make otherwise, while not doing anything extra, just the same things I would’ve done anyway.
But this is something that gives pittance to betray working class as a whole long term, since it’d feed the machines taking away even the menial mechanical jobs at least I thought would be safe.
So I for one am not doing this or equivalent work, even if I can fully see why it’d be even life changing potentially. For some, me included, that’s money that crosses the threshold of getting to buy new shoes for the kid instead of having them get wet feet with worn and torn ones months longer than you’d want just to save up…

“I’ll pay you $3/hour to show me where the valuable things in your house are.”
You are correct. There are sweatshop workers in india who do something similar to this.
I’m in America and I’d do it. Being unemployed is hell.
If you did 80 hours a week and tools couple weeks off a year, you could make a cool $12,000 before taxes.
