How many hours did outlier allocate to budget-related tasks today?

Hey everyone,

Just received this email from Outlier inviting me to take their "Generalist SFT & RLHF screening" assessment.

Has anyone else gotten this email recently? And more importantly, has anyone already taken this screening test?

I'm curious about:
- What kind of questions/tasks are on the screening?
- How difficult is it?
- How long does it take?
- What happens after you pass (or don't pass)?
- What kind of new tasks become available?

The email says it's optional and won't affect your current standing either way, but I'm trying to figure out if it's worth taking and what I should prepare for.

Any insights would be appreciated!

Woke up to an email from Outlier saying today’s collective limit on Aether had already been reached, but starting tomorrow they’re opening 3 high-priority projects:
260317-omni-t2v-elo
251209-text-to-audio-video-h2h
250909-text-to-video-h2h
They also mentioned that starting Monday, access will mainly be retained by contributors consistently meeting quality standards.
Looks like they’re tightening access and prioritizing quality contributors more aggressively now. Could be good news for people who’ve been maintaining strong reviews and careful submissions.
Anyone else receive this email?
What do you think these projects will focus on — especially the text-to-video and audio-video ones?

Hi ***
We want to inform you about a change in how your payments are processed for your work on the Aether project.
From now on, there will be a 48-hour processing period before your Hubstaff hours are finalized and reflected in your earnings. This is slightly longer than before.
Because Aether operates outside the main platform, we need extra time to review and confirm your logged hours to ensure everything is accurate before updating your earnings.
During this period, your hours may appear as “pending” in your earnings dashboard. This is expected, and your earnings will be updated within 48 hours.
Thank you for your continued contributions to Aether.
— The Outlier Team
