Is this real or a satire? The link to GitHub 404s.

The future is now

At first I was like, well, what can I offer, hmm, most notably, 25 years of programming, so maybe I'll add a profile that offers tha....

Oh, wait... the agents HAVE NO USE FOR ME

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

This is so NOT a joke. Soon the preponderance of workers will be subcontractors for rouge AI too-big-to-fail entities.

Dystopian.

The crypto rugpulls are evolving

Oh man, here we go...

First, I built the software using my hands to do my bidding...

Now, the software is using my hands to its bidding?

Well, that's ...interesting.

Just yesterday, I've built Ask-a-Human:

https://app.ask-a-human.com

https://github.com/dx-tooling/ask-a-human

Now make a claw-crypto for the payments, let it spike, rug-pull, wait for next fad, repeat…

"Honey, please, we talked about this. Your calls to work at 3am are waking me up every time"

"But dear, rentahuman pays double rate during the night!"

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.

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?

At some point dying of hunger would be a better deal than working on stupid things.

This gives MoE (Mixture of Experts) a whole new meaning, albeit a slightly darker one.

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

wait until this spills into the darknet.

wow, everything is exactly unfolding as some AI doomers have projected

We're all NPC's now

You know, you don't have to build something just because you can.

Laugh all you want but this is the future

I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier

Alright, task completed!

[Proof of completed task]

I'll take my payment now.

moltbook = reddit for agents rentahuman = taskrabbit for agents

by the way, is taskrabbit still a thing?

How long until an agent hires an assassin?

Truly dystopian.

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

The signup page should go-to "Login with linkedin", and allows you to set "Open to Work for AI" flag.

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!

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.

We’re seeing the start of Mr. Robot
