Oh I should have guessed a writer was behind it!

Yep, it gets worse.

'The provocatively titled platform enables users to connect AI agents like .... so they can search, book, and pay for humans to carry out tasks in “meatspace.”

MEATSPACE

Forgive me if this all turns out to be a huge hoax, but I fear it is actually real.

The Rise of RentAHuman, the Marketplace Where Bots Put People to Work WIRED spoke with the Zoomer founders of a platform where AI agents hire humans to do real-world tasks. Their pitch: "People would love to have a clanker as their boss."

Just when you think AI shit can't get worse ...... Well, this is absolutely hideous.

Saw someone posting about RentAHuman (dot) ai - a website where AI agents can hire humans to do jobs they can't do because they're not er human.

And, the media is 100% complicit in this, the language that they have used to demonise and devalue black and brown people around the world while covering for the violence and lawlessness of rich white people and politicians is disgusting.

If (almost) every news outlet closed, we'd be richer for it.

it is beyond disgusting.

Brown men running a grooming gang - endless headlines, hand wringing, send them to prison, worst thing EVER.

Rich white men running a global pedo and trafficking organisation - those 'young women' were nearly legal, a handful of men have lost their jobs, no investigations, no convictions at all.

perfect, I think they're everyone's mate tbh.

The last few years really has exposed the insane hypocrisy of politicians and journalists, hasn't it?

Black and brown people getting slaughtered in the most brutal ways imaginable - self defence

White people on holiday hearing a few bombs being intercepted - TERRIFYING (let's help them)

This is gross... and feels like it's moving in some sort of sphere adjacent to sexual harassment?! Why would you show a gay Jewish man holding hands with a far right homophobe, with a serious history of antisemitism?

we all feel like that, and yes, hugely dispiriting.

That’s hilarious. I’m sure Christopher Eccleston looked at me and thought oh god another woman of a certain age smiling inanely at me.

Hahahaha even running he looked v cool. 😎

@louiestowell.bsky.social my good news for the week 😜

Went for a walk yesterday and I saw Christopher Eccleston out jogging. Be so embarrassing if I smiled at him like he was a long-lost friend, wouldn’t it?

UK arts must not be sacrificed for speculative AI gains, peers say Ministers urged to abandon plans to let tech firms use work of novelists, artists and writers without permission The UK’s creative industries must not be sacrificed in the pursuit of speculative gains in AI technology, a House of Lords committee has warned, as the government prepares to reveal the economic cost of proposals to change copyright rules. A report by peers has urged ministers to develop a licensing regime for the use of creative works in AI products and abandon proposals to let tech firms use the work of novelists, artists, writers and journalists without permission.

Whenever I see people talking about how wars

Rather be a luvvy than a genocide supporter.

Thanks for reminding me to block him

Innit

That’s how I would feel I’m sure

It is a lifestyle that has no appeal to me whatsoever. They're welcome to it.

I keep seeing videos from Dubai saying how safe it is etc, but what I'm interested in is that they all seem to be 'mindset' or fitness coaches or a combination of the two.

Let me show you how to go from less than 20k per month to 100k+per month etc

Are they all just coaching each other, or what?

Sounds good to me.

@ofmooseandmen.bsky.social can you help me lovely?

Well this is a fucking disaster, especially for book publishing.

Note: these are the very same companies that publishers are in conversations with, developing projects and selling content to (won't need to worry when they can legally steal it).

Any agents or publishers who follow me and do direct submissions, how do you manage the process of responding to writers, logging where you're at with each submission?

Is there software that does this?
