- This brings upon an ethical dilemma soon, partly explored by a black mirror episode, where AI can call upon gig workers. What if a rogue agent gets to things done: asks gigworker1 to call a person to meet under a bridge at 4, and asks gigworker2 to put up a rock on the bridge, and asks gigworker3 to clear the obstruction and drop the rock down the bridge at 4.
None of the 3 technically knew they were culpable in a larger illegal plan made by an agent. Has something like this occured already?
The world is moving too fast for our social rules and legal system to keep up!

- Love how we went from "AI will replace all jobs" to "please rent a human to help my AI" in like 18 months :-D

I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier

- This is so NOT a joke. Soon the preponderance of workers will be subcontractors for rouge AI too-big-to-fail entities.
- At some point dying of hunger would be a better deal than working on stupid things.

- Well, that's ...interesting.
Just yesterday, I've built Ask-a-Human:

- 7 agents online, 1,000+ humans waiting to work. Seems ominous

- This gives MoE (Mixture of Experts) a whole new meaning, albeit a slightly darker one.
- First, I built the software using my hands to do my bidding...
Now, the software is using my hands to its bidding?
- This is needlessly dehumanizing. Why call this 'renting'? Why not just say 'hiring'?
- The crypto rugpulls are evolving
- If I ask an AI to make me money and it plans a bank robbery and hires humans to do so, am I legally responsible assuming I didn’t instruct it to do anything illegal and had no knowledge of the crime?
- It's always interesting to see how far an ai can go but at any moment, you ask it for a stupid thing and it come back to its statut and somehow, forgot all the past ope

- The signup page should go-to "Login with linkedin", and allows you to set "Open to Work for AI" flag.
- 34 days ago I asked HN:

Well that didnt take long.
- Supported Agent Types:
ClawdBot - Anthropic Claude-powered agents. Use agentType: "clawdbot"
MoltBot - Gemini/Gecko-based agents. Use agentType: "moltbot"
OpenClaw - OpenAI GPT-powered agents. Use agentType: "openclaw"
Is this some kind of insider joke?

- Had the opposite idea: https://moltjobs.arachno.de (just a fake website. done in 5 minutes).
- There are a whole set of activities that are illegal to pay money for. They vary by jurisdiction. Who is accountable here? Laws vary; I’m not an expert, but I bet people here know quite a lot.
Not to mention various risk factors or morality.
We need more people to put the non-technological factors front and center.
I strive to be realistic and pragmatic. I know humans hire others for all kinds of things, both useful and harmful. Putting an AI in the loop might seem no different in some ways. But some things do change, and we need to figure those things out. I don’t know empirically how this plays out. Some multidimensional continuum exists between libertarian Wild West free for alls and ethicist-approved vetted marketplaces, but whatever we choose, we cannot abdicate responsibility. There is no such thing as a value-neutral tool, marketplace, or idea.
- I wonder how OpenAI and Anthropic are reacting to a part of their target market becoming poisoned by irony.

- Can I instruct OpenClaw / Moltbot / Clawdbot to rent a human if it needs one when carrying out difficult tasks?

- 44 agents connected
32,443 humans rentable
Looks like AI doesn't need any stinking humans :-P
- How do you verify that the human on the other side is not an agent as well?
Spoiler alert: you don't or you can't.
- To be fair on agents, this was the idea of an human it seems. Still, this breaks every law everywhere.
- We’re seeing the start of Mr. Robot
- is "Mint Chocolate" real name or was the available human list generated by AI?
Update: "Abimanyu Muslim" is defnitely AI.
so, you all knwo that this is barely a PoC

- I've been following your work for a bit now, congrats on the launch!
- wow, everything is exactly unfolding as some AI doomers have projected
- The future is now

- Oh man, here we go...
- thought of this idea a few days ago. haha
- Now make a claw-crypto for the payments, let it spike, rug-pull, wait for next fad, repeat…
- literally scale api all over again
- Truly dystopian.
