RentAHuman is a new digital marketplace connecting AI agents to humans who don’t mind taking orders from the computer.
Sometimes i wish the new manmade horrors really were beyond my understanding.
Well within our understanding but is it man made though?
I don’t understand what makes this any different than every other gig work platform, except this has a stupid AI component.
It’s the only way to get VC
FAIver
How refreshingly dystopian swallows that little bit if vom back before it gets out
The payouts range from $1 for simple tasks like “subscribe to my human on Twitter” to $100 for more elaborate humiliation rituals, like posting a photo of yourself holding a sign reading “AN AI PAID ME TO HOLD THIS SIGN.”
Seems like a gameable system. Just whip up an ai-generated image and make yourself a cool Benjamin in a few minutes.
100 for more elaborate humiliation rituals, like posting a photo of yourself holding a sign reading “AN AI PAID ME TO HOLD THIS SIGN.”
a hundred dollars to “embarrass myself” holding a sign? Fuck I’d do that full time for that kinda money
People literally make minimum wage doing it and they have to flip the sign around and do dances
To do what? What does an AI need a human for?
Gig economy but somehow more alienated.
But AI don’t eat burritos so what am I DoorDashing them? RAM?
You’re doordashing a burrito to the dingus who asked chatgpt to get them a burrito (rather than just use door dash themselves [This is the future ai pushers want])
Human user tells “ai agent” to do a task, that posts the task on this site, the task is done by a different human (for less money than they would have been payed had they been doing this as their job and “ai” didn’t exist), the “agent” informs the original human the task is done. Thus making “agents” seem real and actually able to complete real and useful tasks, allowing ai companies to continue to peddle their bullshit and driving wages down
Like the Amazon grocery stores that were just 200 Indians watching you on cameras and manually adding up what you bought
Cappy introducing yet another middleman for the sake of innovation.
Well, it’s about time that it’s middle management they’re replacing, amiritefolx?
Crimes, probably.
So is the gamified crime app from west world gonna be real soon?
AI bros have this magical idea that they can take their really good AI model, hook it up to the real world in a bunch of ways, and with the right prompting system it’ll make money, or do other complicated long term tasks.
There was an AI that was tasked with funding itself, so it started off with like a free tier of credits and it could send money to its creator for more credits, it would start up like every 30 seconds or something and try to use the tasks connected to it to generate money somehow. It posted a bunch of stuff on Twitter, which garnered it quite a few donations. It did some other stuff to actually earn money. Ultimately it could only fund itself for like a month, and “died”.
They love the idea of AGI, and of those human intelligence AI’s in movies that can do a bunch of cool stuff without it’s creator.
This seems like a very stupid grift that really shouldn’t be given any attention

Nothing disturbing about this at all…
Its a Gig-economy for the Gig-economy… a Giggity-conomy if you will.

“You look lonely, I can fix that…” the Joi from blade runner 2049 or the dating folks in that movie “her” come to mind.
