@avipat_ Kled is for everyone

There's been a long-held assumption that gig work is for lower-income households. We're watching that change in real time with Kled. We survey 5,000 users every month. Middle-income users have grown from 2.2% at launch to nearly 6%. Steady, consistent, and still climbing. As we've made the platform more frictionless, it makes sense. The effort-to-earning ratio on Kled is fundamentally different from Uber, Fiverr, or anything else out there. We think Kled's live to earn experience can comfortably own more of the gig economy than any other platform, across every income bracket.

@0xmeowfr should be rolled out this quarter

@useKled where is the task for 500 selfies for 1000$? 🧐

AI data collection companies like Kled are paying up to $10,000/month for U.S.-based college students and graduates. No CS degree required. This quarter, we're doubling down on U.S. opportunities by slowly introducing over $30,000,000 in task rewards for qualified, KYC'd users. Tasks are built around everyday human activity: upload 500 selfies for $1,000, record a quick video of yourself taking out the trash for $5, or upload your tax return for $150. All data advances leading AI models, with full consent, anonymization, and fair compensation. Download Kled on the App Store and join the fastest-growing gig economy.

Fraud detection is the single biggest problem with data marketplaces. Kled currently works with most of the large foundation models on extremely sensitive consumer projects. 30 min out of every 30 min initial call has rightfully been focused on questions regarding how airtight our licensing rights, data anonymization, and fraud detection systems are. 2 out of 3 of these problems are not hard to solve, our TOS is airtight and we've spent a lot of time working on BIPA, GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, etc. regulation control. Users on our marketplace are very well aware of their rights and what they get in return. Anonymization is also a mostly solved problem across different data modalities, we can confidently remove any sensitive information and non-user generated content from any dataset. Fraud is a much harder problem altogether. It requires a combination of device fingerprinting, duplicate upload cluster detection, behavioral analysis to identify coordinated submission rings, ML systems to identify bad submission quality across tasks, etc. We've invested heavily in building these systems and it's the problem we're most obsessed with solving at scale. The UFDP is one of the many tools we will need to solve this problem. It is a step in the right direction. I will always opt into building slower and giving 100% perfect data to any of our customers while we ramp up speed over time. This is our moat and this trust will single handedly make Kled 1000x more valuable as a business compared to any other data marketplace in existence.

The entire captcha network is fully decentralized. Payouts are powered by $KLED. We already have a user base in early testing. The whitelist is open today. ufdp.ai by Kled.

Traditional captchas are becoming worthless. AI can now solve any fixed image grid automatically. reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, every major service on the market pulls from a pre-labeled problem set. Once AI learns the set, it is over. UFDP has all the same standard bot detection built in. But the captcha itself is unsolvable by AI because it is never the same twice. Every question is a brand new real world data point pulled live from a pipeline of 5 million daily uploads. There is no problem set to train on. There is no pattern to crack. The only thing that can answer it is a genuine human judgment call.

We created the world’s best captcha. The first captcha that is: free for companies, pays you to solve it, impossible to bot, and instead of showing you images of random traffic lights, you’re shown real AI training data to validate. Data is provided exclusively by Kled, and once validated is sent directly to the leading foundation models and robotics companies to further the advancement of AGI.
