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.
$30 an hour to poison their data while I'm doing my actual job sounds tight to me idk bruh
They can fire me but they can't not pay me.
They pay you in AI dollars.
What if the AI are better employers than capitalists and we just end up working for them?
Have you read "The Culture"? Because handing over power to the AI Minds is how you get utopian hedonistic gay space socialism.
Do you want utopian hedonistic gay space socialism?
I fucking do.
Humans have managed to kill millions of each other and start a mass extinction. I’m happy to give the machines a chance.
At the moment, they want to start nuclear war. Maybe we need to convince them otherwise, before we consider "giving the machines a chance."
At this point I want a nuclear war. At least I won’t have to wake up early tomorrow.
Destroying all nuclear weapons is definitely a prerequisite.
Then you're just left with genocide, like AI did in Gaza
I dont care much for the gay part, but as long as it is voluntary i'm game
(Needs some actual fucking ai tho, not probability guessing machines)
Fucking AI? I think pornhub has that....
The gay is optional in The Culture (and sex changes at will), so yeah, I'm in.
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.
It's probably a system for laundering money, then.
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.
$30 an hour? uhh... Where do they offer these jobs again?
Just hit the big button marked "I'm a sucker who is about to get stiffed at the end of my shift".
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.
Suarez rightfully notes that daemon had a better grasp on security
TIL he's on mastodon. Of course.
This is so, so cursed
Computer, end program.
Computer, exit.
…
~fuck~
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.
Counting pigeons sounds nice. Out in nature, lots of fresh air, and you can afford food because you’re making twice what you make at the grocer.
Oh sure, I'd be happy as a peach counting pigeons for an afternoon. Trouble is it's only for an afternoon where the grocer had me on a two week schedule.
Then again, might not be hired to count pigeons again when I put twelve million pigeons on my tps report haha.
Do you want to eat or do you want to afford rent next month? Maybe the machine has more pigeons to count.
Bring a second set of clothes and a hat.
How is the AI actually paying the human? Last I heard AI’s lack you know, money
I heard corporations are throwing trillions of dollars into AI.
And plus Mark Zuckerberg is rich. We can all agree that Mark Zuckerberg is AI, right?
I think he’s a lizard person, maybe a lizard person AI?
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.
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.
There is an interesting video on this by Upper Echelon.
Well researched video.
So you are hiring people to to odd/temp jobs. Why does ai need to be involved here?
Halfway to the plot of Eagle Eye
Where are they getting real money to pay people?
When chatbots die away they will qualify for government subsidies by showing the employees as excuse.
so like fiver but with ai?
faiver
do me a faiver, guv? lol
