benchturn wants to pay the people whose work trains AI

Field notes

benchturn describes a workflow in which experts select work they already perform with AI, after which the material is supposedly verified, de-identified, and structured for licensing to AI labs. The proposed package includes provenance and informed consent, with contributors able to track usage and earnings. The homepage currently surfaces a “data episode 0001” marked “reward +0.00” with seed 4211, so the visible project reads as an early public experiment rather than a demonstrated marketplace.
