AI training work had a loud week.
60 Minutes went inside Mercor. micro1 put $1B on the table for company data. The pay data moved too.
Here's the Monday roundup. No hype. 🧵
Fighters: send my AI bot your training footage and it cuts looping 9:16 hype reels.
Fight-week countdowns, single-moment clips, hook options for your caption.
It only uses footage you own, and it never posts. You check it, you post it.

7/ Lead with what you know. That's where the rate is.
Listed rates aren't paychecks. Never pay anyone to "get you verified."

1/ No big AI lab dropped a new flagship this week.
Instead, GPT-6 landed on Google Cloud and a wave of small open models shipped. One says it was trained without manual labeling.
Here's what that means for your AI training paycheck 🧵
Fighters and athletes: I built an AI bot that hunts sponsors for you.
It finds brands already sponsoring athletes in your niche, shows you the proof, finds a real contact path, and drafts the pitch.
It never sends anything. You review it, you hit send.

That "AI job" DM or "grant" email might be a scam. Red flags:
1. Wants your SSN/ID before an interview
2. Asks YOU to pay
3. No real company
4. Fake urgency
5. Unreal pay, no interview
6. Fake sender domain (like this one)
Real platforms interview you. Scammers rush you.
I keep the platforms I'd actually apply to (expert + generalist roles) in one place:

NVIDIA's new open model labels 200,000 hours of robot video a day.
Same month, micro1 is paying photographers $50–$90/hr to grade robot-arm footage.
The machine took the boring part. Humans with a trained eye are still getting paid. 🧵
