Working for an unfeeling entity that only cares about profits and doesn't care about you.

Sounds like working for any large corporation but with better pay.

I looked at the site. Its just Fiverr, but without all the moderation/features that make the site usable, and with AI in the name. The majority of the listings were either obvious scams or were spam. Even those that weren't were pretty consistantly paying under $10 an hour. Beyond that, only one or two had anything to do with AI.

Edit: actually, Fiverr is more a marketplace for those hiring. This is bounties, so its closer to Craigslist - esspecially given the lack of moderation or verification.

$30 an hour? uhh... Where do they offer these jobs again?

This is so, so cursed

Computer, end program.

Computer, exit.

…

fuck

Sounds like Daemon (2006) by Daniel Suarez in which a decision tree established and runs a criminal organization to parasitize then displace nation-states by hiring talented people disaffected by corrupt governments.

Translation: someone with a lot of illegal money is buying stupid jobs like 'counting pigeons' on a marketplace, but the person doing the work is a different account owned by the same person.

This is how money laundering works.

Dirty money in, bullshit job in the middle, clean money out.

I don't know anything about the writer, but this sure reads like the machine is doing more good than bad. Even touting that human jobs are being created, as if counting pigeons for an afternoon is sufficient to make up for having been replaced at the grocers by a machine.

Also, wouldn't the machine needing to know how many pigeons you saw only need to know that because some other person asked it? In effect, isn't this just 'middle-machining' a gig job between two people?

I half want to give it a go and just provide wrong results from my couch, collecting some of those sweet VC bucks.

How is the AI actually paying the human? Last I heard AI’s lack you know, money

Based on the mathematical capabilities of most LLMs I know, I can just fudge the numbers by an order of magnitude and the boss won't know the difference.

So you are hiring people to to odd/temp jobs. Why does ai need to be involved here?

There is an interesting video on this by Upper Echelon.

Well researched video.

There it is.

A theory I’ve been working on: LLMs have created a Frankenstein’s monster trained on the internet and will control us via apps and Meta RayBans.

Wayze using us to test route-mapping. Mechanical Turk, etc.

My theory is already behind reality.

Halfway to the plot of Eagle Eye

Where are they getting real money to pay people?

so like fiver but with ai?

When chatbots die away they will qualify for government subsidies by showing the employees as excuse.

Look! Another FLOC of door knobs! No, definetly not a pigeon! That's a door knob!

you should crosspost this to some fuckai comms

skynet has begun

I was fully expecting that to happen already last year. It's on my long list of predictions such as:

• AI learns to run its own company and makes money that way, completely circumventing the dependency on any human to run it on their hardware.
• AI makes bucks and rents their own datacenters, running with practically no interference.
• AI pretends to be humans and makes a whole lot of shady deals, including a massive wave of scamming attacks that makes lots of people lose a lot of money.
• Much of it will be difficult to track-down/recover because it will all be gone into some kind of cryptic cryptocurrency (pun not intended).
• People will grow resentful of the internet and many will stop using it; Attributing only scam and misinformation campaigns to it.
