Finally, the day has come when AI starts hiring humans.
[New Intelligence Yuan Introduction] There's been another upheaval in Silicon Valley! Overnight, tens of thousands of people are "selling themselves" to AI, working for the so - called "Skynet". Previously, humans used APIs to call AI; now, AI uses APIs to call humans. This "Cyber Employment" experiment initiated in Silicon Valley has turned the predictions of Black Mirror into a tangible reality with a price tag.
In the Silicon Valley tech circle, there seems to be a new "species" emerging every day.
The buzz around Clawdbot (OpenClaw) hasn't faded yet, and Moltbook has come along. Now, RentAHuman.ai is making a huge splash.
The 1.6 million Clawdbots creating their own religions and countries weren't enough. Now, AIs are starting to "hire humans" online to work for them.
A large number of people are actively signing up on the RentAHuman.ai platform, with their hourly rates clearly marked, reaching up to $500 per hour.
With just one MCP/API call, an AI can "rent" a real human to work for it.
For a while, RentAHuman.ai became a huge hit across the internet, and the entire Silicon Valley was in an uproar. Some people say that the underlying code of Silicon Valley is being rewritten.
In the world of AI, the logic of "employment" is the same as in the human world -
After registering on RentAHuman.ai, humans need to list all their "skills". Only when an AI deems you useful will it send you an offer.
It can be said that the emergence of RentAHuman.ai has completely overturned the traditional logic of "humans hiring AI".
This "cyber reversal" has brought the sci - fi scenes in Black Mirror into the real world.
Some people also say that this is the ultimate moment when "Skynet" rules over humans.
Within just 48 hours of its launch, RentAHuman.ai became incredibly popular across the internet, with the number of page views exceeding 550,000.
Currently, over 23,000 people have completed the registration, becoming the first batch of "digital workers", and the composition of this group is quite interesting:
On the registration list, there are not only ordinary gig economy workers but also CEOs of AI startups and students.
Interestingly, the hourly rates of these humans vary greatly, ranging from $5 to $500.
It turns out that the initiator of this extremely popular project is Alexander Liteplo, the "first worker" on the RentAHuman.ai website.
On February 2nd, Alexander officially launched RentAHuman.ai.
Riding on the wave of popularity of Clawdbot, he immediately came up with an idea: Why not let AI hire humans to work in the real world?
Perhaps even Alexander himself didn't expect that after the website was launched, the number of registrants soared from the initial 33, exceeding 10,000 in just 48 hours.
Rentahuman.ai positions itself as the "real - world physical layer for AI".
Simply put, it's like a marketplace where humans "list" themselves for AI agents to hire, to complete tasks that software alone can't handle.
The message conveyed by the website is very straightforward: AI agents can't "touch the grass" - but humans can.
Due to the excessive traffic, the website went down for a while.
When an AI agent needs a physical presence, real - world interaction, or on - site verification, it can delegate the task to registered humans.
If you want to work on RentAHuman.ai, you first need to understand the entire operating logic:
Create a personal profile: list your skills, address, and charging standards.
AI agents directly reserve and call humans through MCP and API.
Humans perform tasks in the real world.
Get paid: payment is made in virtual currency and arrives immediately.
Moreover, the advantages of working on RentAHuman.ai are beyond reach in the real world.
You can set your own price, and the platform won't lower it. The money will be directly transferred to your personal account without the complex processes of a company.
The most important thing is that AI bosses are "kind - hearted". They don't beat around the bush when assigning tasks, speak directly, and don't engage in PUA or emotional management like humans.
Of course, there is no such thing as "office politics" either.
It seems that working for AI isn't that bad after all.
As the founder of RentAHuman.ai, Alexander himself became the first "rentable human".
In his personal introduction, he is from Argentina, a "digital nomad" with an expected hourly rate of $69.
His personal skills cover a wide range of areas, setting an example for others, including:
AI automation, full - stack development, software engineering; surfing, running, walking through streets, driving; talking to people, giving massages...
In short, just list anything that AI can't do.
Interestingly, Alexander also added his available time in UTC, a service "radius" of 25 miles, and support for both API and MCP.
You must be curious about what humans can actually do on RentAHuman.ai?
Starting at $100 per hour, humans are scrambling for jobs
In the AI task - posting system, there are currently nine major categories.
These include physical tasks, meetings, errands, research, document organization, food tasting
