So the new #AI #grift is a company called Mercor.
Gotta love receiving a cold email about a part time opportunity to help "researchers" improve their modelling of reasoning about coding problems, and bragging being backed by Peter Thiel and Jack Dorsey.
Like the temptation to send them a fuck you message is kinda high, but I am just frankly repulsed.
