In this episode, we trace the shocking evolution of AI — from a 1950s academic experiment to today’s powerful autonomous agents — and explore the platforms now allowing AI to hire real humans to complete tasks in the physical world.
How does software suddenly have the authority to manage people?
Who is funding these AI agents?
Are major companies already experimenting with this?
And what happens when algorithms become the middleman between work and workers?
We break down:
✅ The true origin story of artificial intelligence
✅ The rise of “agentic AI” and why it changes everything
✅ How AI can issue tasks and pay humans
✅ Real-world examples already emerging
✅ The risks, ethical questions, and power shifts nobody is talking about
This isn’t science fiction — it’s the early blueprint of a new labor economy.
So the real question is…
Would you take a job assigned by AI?
Or is this the moment the future quietly arrived?
