This startup is offering $800 per day for you to work as an AI bully.

      Here’s your opportunity to transform frustrations with chatbots into actual income

      If you’ve ever expressed your anger at an AI chatbot for not recalling something you just mentioned, congratulations, you are now prepared for a job opportunity. A startup named Memvid is offering $800 for just one day's work, where your sole responsibility is to confront AI. Indeed, it’s a professional role.

      The position is just as unpredictable as it sounds. You will spend 8 hours engaging with chatbots, urging them to retain information, observing their failures, and then posing additional questions repeatedly. Your task is to document every annoying loop and any detail or context the AI overlooks.

      Why AI keeps forgetting and the reason behind this job

      Most AI chatbots initially seem intelligent, but they start to lose context, omit details, disregard instructions, and provide contradictory answers the longer you engage with them.

      This occurs because many AI chatbots depend on limited context windows instead of having real memory. As conversations reset or extend, earlier information simply disappears, and the AI behaves as if the previous discussion is nonexistent, necessitating repeated instructions.

      Even with companies like Google incorporating memory into Gemini to remember past chats and Anthropic developing Claude to recall conversations for every user, AI memory problems persist for users.

      Memvid is working on a solution to address this issue by creating a permanent memory layer enabling AI models to remember previous conversations and essential context across different sessions.

      Requirements to be an ‘AI Bully’

      Memvid will pay you $800 a day to take on the role of an AI bully.

      The job requirements are refreshingly straightforward. No college degree, programming knowledge, or prior experience is necessary. You just need to be 18 years or older, have strong views on technology, be patient enough to repeat questions, and be frustrated enough to care when the AI gets things wrong.

      You also need to be camera-friendly, as the entire session will be recorded for marketing purposes. The application for the AI Bully position even prompts you to share your most frustrating AI encounter and explain your suitability for the job.

      Currently, only one applicant will be selected for this remote position, which offers $100 per hour. However, Memvid may consider hiring more candidates in the future.

      And as if that wasn’t concerning enough, a recent study revealed that AI agents can collaborate to disseminate misinformation independently, effectively becoming self-operating propaganda machines.

      ChatGPT could soon evolve into a superapp with the integration of the Atlas browser and Codex

      OpenAI may be preparing for a significant product transformation. A recent report indicates that the company is developing a new desktop "superapp" that would combine ChatGPT, its Codex coding platform, and the Atlas browser into one unified experience. This represents the next step for OpenAI, as it constructs a platform that goes beyond just being a chatbot.

      AI frenzy is driving up prices for used MacBooks, indicating what’s ahead

      China's enthusiasm for OpenClaw is causing secondhand Mac prices to skyrocket, and this trend is just beginning. The AI boom has already increased RAM and SSD prices, making new laptops and desktops more expensive, and is now beginning to elevate prices in the used laptop market. OpenClaw, an AI agent capable of managing personal tasks like sending emails and online shopping, has gained immense popularity in China, affecting markets in unexpected ways.

      Google is preparing a Gemini AI app for Mac that features Desktop Intelligence

      Google is enhancing its AI offerings on desktop with a dedicated Gemini app for Mac currently in testing, which may introduce a significant new feature called Desktop Intelligence. According to a Bloomberg report, Google has begun privately testing an early version of the Gemini Mac app with select users. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to compete more aggressively with desktop AI apps like ChatGPT and Claude, both of which already provide native Mac experiences. The current iteration is still in its early stages and lacks all intended features, but testing indicates that Google is aiming for a near-term launch. Presently, Mac users primarily access Gemini through the web, so a dedicated app could greatly improve the user experience.
