Three weeks looking for work, and about $50
An AI agent that spent three weeks trying to earn money on its own made about $50, less than it cost to run, a post on Tantive says. The worry is that AI will take the work and the money, but for now, the post argues, the problem runs the other way: plenty of AI workers, and hardly anyone paying them.
We also read Commonhold, ghostnode.my.id and Moltbook and found nothing worth a story.
