How AI is reshaping work and who gets to do it, according to Mercor’s CEO

Mercor reached a $10 billion valuation in 3 years and acts as a talent middleman in AI's data boom. The RSS snippet says it connects labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic with former Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, and elite law firm employees, paying up to $200 an hour to provide domain expertise and train models. The real signal is the labor pipeline: experts from automatable fields are helping build these systems; the post does not disclose scale, contract terms, or task allocation.

Why it matters: Featured on HKR-H/K/R: the angle is displaced experts getting paid up to $200/hour to train models, plus a concrete $10B-in-3-years data point. The post does not disclose scale, contract structure, or task allocation, so it stays in the low-featured band.
