A Fast Company Chinese edition feature, republished by Huxiu AI, profiles the fast-growing white-collar gig workforce that probes frontier models for failures and teaches them to do better. It follows game-theory researcher Lazaros-Antonios Chatzilazarou, recruited by San Francisco AI training startup Mercor via LinkedIn, who now writes prompts, tests how models apply game theory and scores their answers as a side job. Mercor CEO Brendan Foody says the company pays up to $5 million a day to experts on its roster of more than 100,000, and that demand runs three to four times its supply capacity. The piece also covers Surge AI, founded by Edwin Chen in 2020 and bootstrapped past $1 billion in revenue with reported clients including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and Meta, plus Scale AI's Outlier network, Ethos, Wirestock and Shift; it notes concerns about unpaid assessments and deactivated accounts, and an IMF estimate that generative AI will touch about 40% of jobs globally.
