    Well researched video.

    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.

          Yes. I will absolutely take you on that bet. Will you do crypto? I’d prefer Monero. I will provide wallet address and receipts.

          I will happily take your money on top of theirs.

          Let’s say 7:10 dollar for dollar. Will you match every dollar I successfully earn 7:1? I’ll pay you 10x what I am owed if I am not paid what owed for my work.

          To be clear, if I need to sue to get this income, it may take as long as 36 months in extreme circumstances.

          Something tells me you won’t take this bet.

              Joke’s on them… even if they don’t pay it’s not like I valued the time I spent on it anyway.

              And I certainly didn’t do a good job.

        Have you read “The Culture”? Because handing over power to the AI Minds is how you get utopian hedonistic gay space socialism.

            At the moment, they want to start nuclear war. Maybe we need to convince them otherwise, before we consider “giving the machines a chance.”

            The ‘space’ part is just what happens in “The Culture” book series. They tend to stick to gigantic ships or space stations that have ecosystems, mountain ranges, and seas.

            Though really it’d be classified as more anarcho-socialism I suppose.

            I’m with you, Earth is better than we deserve and we should be focused on the problems we have here.

              we should be focused on the problems we have here.

              Such as restoring earths beauty. There is ZERO reason why something absurd like 40% of America is just…parking lots. Or abandoned warehouses. Or abandoned malls.

              This may surprise most people, but, this country is naturally beautiful! And it can be again!

              We just gotta kick this bad habit we’ve had for 200+ years of forced slavery, and profit chasing.

              Oh, and also, no more pedophile presidents.

    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.

    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.

  2. …credible sources, with…
  3. …their original headlines, that…
  4. …would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.
