This is needlessly dehumanizing. Why call this 'renting'? Why not just say 'hiring'?

#103This 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 la…
Not AI but I've heard car thieves operate like this - as a loose network of individuals, who do just a part of the process, which on their own are either legal, or less punishable by law than stealing the car. One guy scouts the vechicle and observes it, another guy is called to unlock it, and bypass the ignition lock, yet another guy picks it up and drives away, with each given a veneer of deniability about what the…

This is why conspiracy charges exist.

BC if someone has enough money to deploy an instance of openclaw that can just randomly spend $1k on tokens, their time may be to valuable to be spent on menial tasks.
Oh, ok, so other people who’s time is worthless should just do it for free, got it.
...yes?

Not ai but there was the 2017 assassination of Kim Jong-nam which was a similar situation and something which could have been organised by an ai. Two women thought they were carrying out a harmless prank, but the substances they were instructed to use combined to form a nerve agent which killed the guy.
one even returned to scene of the crime wearing the exact same clothes she wore the day before, not understanding the implications

If these people act without knowledge of each other, its hard to charge them with conspiracy.

Why aren’t they asking the person who deployed them? This is just out-sourcing free labor.

Bro just run it with a local model don't act like it's a requirement to use a provider and spend $1k

#110Love how we went from "AI will replace all jobs" to "please rent a human to help my AI" in like 18 months :-D
Par for the course: AI is automating all of the high-level thinking before the manual labor first, which is the biggest tragedy of it all. At this rate our score on the Kardashev scale will be lower than the proportion of humans doing low-level meatspace stuff.
It's highly abstract(!) thinking and in contrast to a calculation now comes with no clean explanation too.
