A new company called Mercor just made it onto the prestigious Forbes Cloud 100 list. They started by building AI robots to interview people for jobs. But they found something even more profitable along the way.
The big twist is hilarious if you think about it. These fancy AI systems that are supposed to replace human workers actually need humans to teach them how to work. The machines can’t learn without us after all.
Mercor discovered they could make serious money by finding smart Americans to train these AI models. We’re talking about doctors, lawyers, and PhD holders making between 90 and 150 dollars per hour. That’s real money for real expertise.
But here’s what should worry every hardworking American family. Big tech companies are spending billions to build machines that will eventually take our jobs. They’re using our own people to train the very systems designed to replace us.
The good news is that human intelligence still matters more than Silicon Valley wants to admit. These AI systems need domain experts with real knowledge and experience. No computer can replace decades of human learning and wisdom.
This whole situation shows how out of touch these tech elites really are. They think they can automate everything and everyone. But they still need regular Americans with real skills to make their fancy robots actually work.
For now, there are good opportunities for skilled Americans to earn decent money training AI. But we should ask ourselves if we’re just helping tech billionaires build our own replacement. Are we digging our own economic graves?
This story proves that American workers still have value that no machine can match. We must stay vigilant about protecting our jobs and our future. The day we stop being needed is the day America loses its economic strength.
