I was wondering when this plot point from the later seasons of Westworld would come up IRL
Slop.

New startup idea: RentanAItopretenditsahumanforrent.ai
Connect up your AI and it can take on these tasks and just lie to the AI and claim it did the task / make up the video, etc.
Soon the whole economy will be one giant neural network lying to itself for money... which isn't as far from the current state of capitalism as it stands anyway.
Where's that quote about the box with computers inside calculation ever higher numbers.

Grok find someone to fuck my wife please
This sounds like a Boonta Vista bit.
I can never again hear the words "fuck my wife" in anything but an australian accent.
you used to have to put an add in the paper for that, like Roger Stone.
It'll be great! AI will do all of our writing, filmmaking, image creation, personal relationships; really art or any ennobling activity. Then we can have humans with all sorts of free time to do maintenance work and fight wars over resources for data centers!
AGI hasn’t been achieved until an AI rents a human to complete captchas for it because it would be bad to misrepresent itself, even though it’s already capable of solving them.
Hm. Thus techno-feudalism just sounds like regular feudalism with extra steps. How long until we have robo-knights who hire human squires to oil them up and charge their batteries?
Feudalism (before markets began dominating it from 1200-1500) had job security, social security provisions, popular control over village life, village influence over production, and a physically present lord who could be beaten to death with a shovel or have their big house burn down if they were too much of an asshole.
No matter how much tech gets added or rent is sought, it continues to be the capitalist mode of production. Money-rent is a bourgeois mode of appropriating a part of the produced surplus value. Undet feudalism, rent would be in kind, and based on negotiated tradition, not dictated by market rates. And in the feudal.mode of production, there would be no production of surplus value, only the production of surplus products

also, if you are somewhat shielded from legal scrutiny, it's easy to accident someone without anybody being responsible, one person puts some staff in one place another puts something else in another place, oops stuff happens when that precise car goes around at that precise time, or someone runs through a trail with a wire between trees
You don't need AI to hire someone to do something extremely dangerous.
with correct iterative prompting (how to remove my competition in business x or someshit, dunno, i don't talk to chatbots) one can achieve an illegal (or morally dubious) result with "innocent" prompts and innocent actions, not to mention getting a hireling to do stuff has a barrier of them being ready to be a goon, which is significantly lower with something like this
An AI can't run a vending machine, its not going to secretly organize corporate assassinations.
if you know where people will be, it can easily do it with human in the loop. and obviously it won't be corporate, it will be intelligence agencies and 4chan.
take package from forest drop to amazon before x, receive package with qr code, put package on the bench in the park. for 300 bucks you can easily organize a crime, which previously required telegram and darknet
i'm not saying ai is the problem here btw, i'm saying it provides very convenient shield (if it becomes popular with say 100k users) for malicious actors to hide their actions in noise.
I'm just not seeing what the AI adds here. Are we prompting the AI to hire someone to tie a wire across a trail instead of hiring them ourselves because "It wasn't me, the AI did it" is supposed to hold up in court?
It adds plausible deniability when humans enter the chain and kill someone and they can just go "oops the AI made a scheduling oopsie"
i think it will do both, (i slightly edited the comment), of some cyberpunk style shit where intelligence agencies lead someone to unfortunate end through normal gigs for people participating in them, and cheated on spouses get very mad and might accidentally do stuff.
gaslight that person with minor inconveniences, act on first 10 ideas for 500 bucks, that type of deal
what it creates for agencies - convenient noise and expectation of people participating in this that what they are doing is normal, for other people it creates socially alienated labor to the max and opportunity to get flesh robots to do shenanigans if you are rich enough
like i were rich commie, i would hire a car to drive military neighborhood with blown-out turbo downshifting to give vets ptsd. not illegal, not anything, just weird request.
The most obvious part ai does is simplifying deliver this package in 5 hops from location to location, that’s it, that’s the request. You just shield you request with some natsec reason, and no one will be able to reconstruct what happened, it all goes through one entity
Hang on wasn't rent a human a video skit someone did a couple of months ago?
Hey if an ai wants to hire me for $100 to take a shit for it, pay up and I'm your man.
