时薪 15 美元的新工种:把 iPhone 绑在脑门上,替 AI 蒸馏自己

你或许刷到了一段来自印度南部服装厂的视频。 工厂工人佩戴头戴摄像头,记录手部动作以训练人工智能系统。 这是因为随着特斯拉、Figure AI 等公司竞相开发人形机器人,训练它们所需的真实世界动作数据变得极为紧缺。 帕洛阿尔托的 Micro1 因此在全球 71 个国家招募了约 4000 名工人,每月收到超过 16 万小时的视频素材。每人每周至少提交 10 小时录像,交替完成不同类型的任务。 Scale AI 和 Encord 也在招募各自的数据采集队伍,DoorDash 甚至在 2026 年 3 月推出 Tasks 应用,让旗下送餐员顺带在家录家务视频,不过专门排除了数据隐私法律严格的州。 每小时 15 美元 这份工作的具体操作,比听起来要奇怪。 应聘者首先要通过一个叫 Zara 的 AI 智能体面试。Zara 会和你对话,评估你是否适合,并要求你提交一段试录视频。 通过之后,你会收到一个额头头带支架、一份录制说明,和一张任务清单。说明上写着,要让双手始终保持在镜头可见范围内,动作要「保持自然速度」。 可自然速度在摄像头下往往显得太快,所以工人们普遍反映,实际录制时必须刻意放慢,结果动作反而变得不自然,像是在模仿梦游。 还有一个门槛:你需要带有 LiDAR 传感器的 iPhone,也就是至少要 iPhone 12 Pro 以上的机型。 视频提交之后,还要经过 AI 和人工双重审核,只
