Mechanical Turk was for humans to rent a human, which is not a new idea

mTurk has an API (and I guess it had it since the beginning). It is, of course, very AWS-que, but LLMs should be able to use it just fine.

which is not a new idea

I don’t think “[x] but for agents” counts as a new idea for every [x]. I’d say it’s just one new idea, at most.

I mean, the entire name of Mechanical Turk plays on "packaging up humans as technology", given the original Mechanical Turk was a "machine" where the human inside did the work.
