Looks like scale introduced new labor hiring site (other than remotasks.com): https://outlier.ai/
Interesting jobs to train generative AI models. Interesting comments here:
They likely do use mapbox for rendering maps, as their SDK is really customizable, is designed to work with the OSM data format, and you don't need to pay mapbox to use it (at least for older versions). But mapbox is not necessarily a good solution for all of the routing requirements Lyft has. For example, at SFO ride hailing drivers are required to wait in a special parking lot outside of the airport, and then dispatching for rides is done based on which driver has been waiting in that lot the longest. You could probably make this work with mapbox, but it isn't necessarily a matter of just plugging it in and calling it done.
While Scale is very good at marketing, I wonder if companies using scale ai genuinely understand how their data is being labeled. They have been completely obfuscating that they primarily do crowdsourcing through https://remotasks.com/. The brand of remotasks is entirely different than scale ai for apparent reasons. I don't think major companies would opt in for crowdsourcing if they knew it. There are plenty of managed labeling service providers who provide a guarantee that the labelers come to a facility without phones to label data. There's a reason why they exist.
