Human Intelligence Tasks
I came across a random internet tool today. Human intelligence tasks (HIT's) are those tasks that only a human can do. Artificial intelligence can not replicate these tasks. Much like laws requiring Home Owner Associations to have annual audits of records secure jobs for accountants in Nevada, HIT's give job security to thousands of human beings throughout the world. So what are these tasks? How much do HIT workers get paid? The answer to these and other perplexing questions like "How do you place value on a human life?" Can be found on Amazon Mechanical Turk. That's right Amazon has a corner on this all important market and you can become a turk and earn between $.01 and $30 per completed HIT! Wow! Now I can quit my day job and really do something meaningful with my life...Thanks Amazon!

What?!?!?!?!?!? There will be no quitting of any job until we've discussed this a little further.
Yeah it looks fun and those of us who only work part time and have a tendency to play on the computer will enjoy making 20-30 cents a tv show BUT sadly I doubt it'd make a good full time job. The better paying ones take skillz. Although there are some 3 dollar ones for anyone with a blog over 3 months old. You should tell your wife.
Do you ever actually work when you're at work? I'm starting to wonder...
