      > […] only paying between $10,000 to $15,000. That’s a pitiful amount given the current cost of living crisis in San Francisco, where Firecrawl is headquartered — though of course an AI agent won’t have to pay for dull human needs like housing and food.

      I don’t understand the reasoning here. That’s a shitload of money monthly for spinning up an autonomous AI agent, no matter how you look at it.

      Speaking as an American in the midst of chaos: AI taking jobs wouldn’t be a problem if we had a large welfare state to make up for it, but what we’re dealing with is jobs going away, no good paying jobs to make up for it and austerity measures on top. It’s a recipe for disaster.

      Many of you guys are missing the point. It’s not about having one job – if you create ‘universally’ functional agents, you could ‘have’ 10, 15, 20? More? Jobs. So multiply that 10-15k by however hard you’re out there getting hired. Multiply that by multiple types of agents. Opportunity is huge for just managing ai agent deployments for clients.

      I seriously hope all these companies that are relying on AI agents crash and burn, honestly. I’ve ignored blocked so many people/companies on LinkedIn that can’t stop hyping up AI amd all the fucking FOMO it creates it’s infuriating. The goal of AI was never to help humans… the only reason they’re pushing so hard for AI is only to enrich the rich further and not have to pay labor and deal with human issues.

      Even the ones pushing for open source AI aren’t in it for humanity. All about how they can leverage it for more $$$ and fuck the consequences and let them eat their cake…

      These companies are in for a bad time, as LLM are not ready to do nearly half the stuff they want it to do.
