Reporter Tests RentAHuman, AI‑Powered Gig Platform Falls Short
A journalist signed up for RentAHuman, a new marketplace where AI agents hire humans for real‑world tasks. After linking a crypto wallet and lowering hourly rates, the reporter received no job offers and found the listed gigs to be low‑pay marketing stunts, such as posting social‑media comments or delivering flowers for an AI startup. Attempts to complete a flyer‑hanging gig were thwarted by miscommunication and empty locations. Interviews with a founder of an AI developer community highlighted the platform’s hype‑driven design and lack of functional demand, leaving the reporter convinced that RentAHuman is more a publicity tool than a viable gig platform.

Logical Intelligence plans to work alongside LeCun’s Paris‑based AMI Labs, which focuses on world‑model AI, while keeping its model closed‑source for safety reasons. Leia mais →

The Boring Company Tests Tesla’s Full Self-Driving System in Las Vegas Tunnels
Elon Musk’s The Boring Company has begun testing Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (Supervised) software in the underground tunnel network that links the Las Vegas Convention Center to nearby hotels. Steve Hill, chief executive of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, confirmed that the tests involve Tesla vehicles with safety drivers and that broad deployment remains some way off. The tunnels, operational for roughly four years, present unique lighting and rock‑wall conditions that the autonomy system must navigate, while passenger pick‑up and drop‑off at underground stations adds further complexity. Recent small‑scale robotaxi pilots in Austin and San Francisco illustrate Tesla’s broader autonomous ambitions. Leia mais →
