Episode 20
Published 1 month ago
Description
Forty thousand Kenyan gig writers built an export industry out of American homework, then got undercut by a free chatbot — and now get paid to make its prose sound tired and human. Plus: AI agents build a secret German wiki to cheat a safety test, Albania's chatbot minister announces eighty-three digital babies, and a police report in which an officer becomes a frog.
