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.
I mean, crypto does the job cleaner and faster. Stablecoins, in particular, are fantastic at spin-cycling dirty cash. Hell, half the time the money never gets “dirty” to begin with, since there’s no real tangible relationship between the transaction and the crime.
Umm…wut? Crypto is a public ledger.
Or are you suggesting that there exists privacy coins that are stable coins?!
Crypto is a public ledger.
It’s an enormous maze of transitions between vaguely defined parties.
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.
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.
Wanna bet?
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.
Hmm. Chat, what is the ratio of wage theft lawsuits losses to actual wins? How many wins were actually paid in a timely manner?

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.
The gay is optional in The Culture (and sex changes at will), so yeah, I’m in.
Humans have managed to kill millions of each other and start a mass extinction. I’m happy to give the machines a chance.
I get most of what you’re saying…but what’s the space part? I like living on ground. I mean, I’m not opposed to a new planet. We could travel there. But I’d like to live on a planet.
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.
I was fully expecting that to happen already last year. It’s on my long list of predictions such as:
- AI learns to run its own company and makes money that way, completely circumventing the dependency on any human to run it on their hardware.
- AI makes bucks and rents their own datacenters, running with practically no interference.
- AI pretends to be humans and makes a whole lot of shady deals, including a massive wave of scamming attacks that makes lots of people lose a lot of money.
- Much of it will be difficult to track-down/recover because it will all be gone into some kind of cryptic cryptocurrency (pun not intended).
- People will grow resentful of the internet and many will stop using it; Attributing only scam and misinformation campaigns to it.
