The Uber and Lyft Moment for AI Training
·
Two weeks ago I opened the Mercor dashboard and stared at a screen that said, essentially, nothing. My active projects had paused. This was not a surprise, exactly. The AI training data market is more volatile than anyone talks about publicly. Projects get funded, data buckets fill up, evaluation cycles close, and suddenly the pipeline that was paying $100 an hour last week goes quiet. Then it reopens. Then it pauses again. If you are new to this world, the instinct is to assume something is wrong with you, with the platform, or with the entire industry. None of those conclusions are usually correct.
