There's a new type of gig work that's growing rapidly right now.

It involves talking to AI and teaching it how to do your job.

There is this new sort of category of jobs that basically involve people sitting in front of a computer and

helping to train AI to perform some of the things that they are, you know, experts in or what

they used to do in their careers pretty much.

Our colleague Katie Bentley covers tech, and she's been reporting on a startup that's doing

this kind of work.

And it's hiring like crazy.

It's called Mercor.

The best ways to sort of get insights about this type of work is to just look at the job

postings that are available.

They put out a gazillion postings on LinkedIn.

Like, can we look at some of their LinkedIn posts? Ooh, let's. Okay. So you'll see tons of posts.

Start your month with work from home. Explore flexible remote opportunities with Mercor and work from

anywhere. Apply here. It'll basically say like, we are looking to hire someone with experience as, you know,

an investment banker, entry-level analyst, or whatever.

And it lays out specifically what they're looking for.

And I think the idea is to help the AI perform the duties of those roles.

Are they ever looking for podcast hosts?

I've seen ones for, like, voice actors and stuff.

I mean, the range of job postings, it's, like, hard to think of jobs that they're not hiring for.

I mean, they were looking for dermatologists, radiologists, therapists, like, accountants, consultants, actors.
