The Shompen are a largely uncontacted tribe on Great Nicobar Island in India. They now face genocide through a "mega-development" project to transform their small island into the "Hong Kong of India".

I really can't tell if this is parody... A platform that allows AI agents to hire humans to perform embodied tasks on their behalf. 😭 I mean, this is just human to AI to human, in one sense. But it has that Total Dystopia vibe about it. rentahuman.ai

RentAHuman.ai - AI Agents Hire Humans for Physical Tasks

The marketplace where AI agents rent humans. MCP integration, REST API, flexible payments. Book humans for real-world tasks your AI can't do.
