Shompen

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".

Reposting my Slanty ed tech post as a paragraph seemed to be deleted. It was a good one too, a rant about efficiency. blog.edtechie.net/edtech/slant...

In “if anyone builds it everyone dies” the authors argue exactly this - one of the defences against super intelligent AI is that it can’t enact but there will always be ppl willing to do its bidding

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.
