**Summary:**Mercor, a startup founded by Brendan Foody, is revolutionizing the AI industry by connecting AI labs with former employees from various sectors, such as banks, consulting firms, and law offices. These experts provide valuable insights and knowledge to train AI models, earning up to $200 per hour. Mercor has rapidly scaled, now pulling in $500 million annually and valued at $10 billion. However, this trend is not without controversy, as traditional companies fear their proprietary practices may be exposed. As AI models become more effective and affordable, the future of work in sectors like law, finance, and medicine could be significantly transformed.
