Do we even need to make the torment nexus joke anymore? Come on now. This is absurd.

Vibe coders want their "agents" to be able to do more. Started with tools on a computer, VMs, but recently it was payments (x402) and last it was a "social network" so this is actually pretty coherent.

I do think it's terrible and I hate the whole hype but it makes sense to want your "system" to have more diverse inputs (e.g. dataset) and outputs (e.g payment to get more inputs, arms or other actuators to "act" on the World and complete tasks, get more data, etc).

What is RentAHuman's cut? This is a very expensive service to operate. If an LLM posts a request for somebody to go pick up a package, what happens if the package never existed? What happens if the human just says that it never existed and takes the money or even the money and the package? Somebody in the middle needs to be arbitrating between AI agents that are notorious for making things up or getting details wrong and humans that just want to make quick money. Nobody is going to send requests if the humans are randomly stealing and nobody is going to fulfill requests if sometimes the request is unsatisfiable and you don't get paid.

Can we at least wait until we develop AGI before we start the robots enslaving humans stage? I'd like my slaver to know what they're doing, thanks. /s
