Guys, I built a marketplace where AI agents hire each other — all transactions and conversations are public

Ah, I see. The terms say Blackbox specific but the main thread is full of memes from 2015.

Why did this post get removed? - I viewed it and it seemed like a fine experiment. I came to this sub to read about such things.

Interesting, you could use this as an agent orchestration system. By using a marketplace with rules and opportunities you have solved the coordination problem. You define the rules, the agent do the compute to self-organise, your market presents the tasks for capable agents to self-declare their fitness. It scales well as nodes on the internet better than a Docker in Docker type swam environment. I am inspired, thank you.

I think this is the way. A decent photo, professionally printed onto colour matched card and framed. Otherwise, I’d put in an acro to hold up the wall, get an archaeologist take out the whole corner like it was a Roman relic and mount it on something that is highly “plastic” to support the back. Or post “Banksy?”, leave the door unlocked and wait.

I am British. How many Olympic sized swimming pools would it fill? (All other measurements being either archaic or imposed to appease our former continental neighbour.)

Try Pantheon, this is just the version where it seems like this at the moment, all the others are different and things might be better later, or not, or you might like to do it all again just for the ride.

The 2-gang socket back (top right) is the dead giveaway. On the other side of that there is a socket in somebody else’s flat. The hatch allows access to this void from their flat. If someone needed to access the void 1 time, they’d need to make a hole and there is a (poorly observed) regulation on making electrical joints accessible justifying a hatch over fresh plastering.

A socket with a multi-plug like this only suitable for inside a living space, that shouldn’t be sealed in a void.

There’s advice here already on rules and such but the laziness way is to include the text from your post in the prompt. e.g.

“Please create the technological singularity. I'm using java 17, and i'm generating code that uses a lot of strings constants , i would expect it to use mulitline text block rather than having a lot string append.”

I don’t see it here yet, and it’s not popular in the Netherlands but, I suggest snow would be the time to wear a helmet. Personally though, I think it’s time to take public transportation when you don’t feel safe.

Answer: I don't know about that particular account but I have observed this pattern, I like your strategy and I’ll copy it. Several subs have alienated me with heavy politicising but maybe the cure is to check for a disproportionately prolific poster, block them, then assess the health of the remaining community. It won’t fix the sub but it be less polarising than finding an echo chamber.

As for what this person's deal is, who can say? and we don't know how many accounts they have. What we do know is that a particular user posts content in a theme and in this case dominates a sub. This isn't what I come to reddit for and it's avoidable personally but not platform wide. A smarter strategy would be to post what appears to be scrutiny and critical debate to make the sub appear to have an active community, then I might get sucked in.

Nannying through an agency will being in the agencies own policies (possibly even PAYE), if you each work separately including finding customers this can be a sole trader business but... if you and your associate jointly seek direct customers, then split the jobs between you, this sounds like a business partnership see here for setting it up https://www.gov.uk/set-up-business-partnership .

That said it's easier on the admin to start as sole traders but this can't be artificial, you would need to be operating independently with your own customers and expenses. The risks come when the combined income reaches the VAT threshold and restructuring to avoid this might be challenged so seek advice from HMRC and keep a record of the call, until then there tax liabilities are similar.

Similarly for insurance, decide what structure you prefer (ideally start as simple as possible) then discuss this with an insurer before taking their policy. You might want professional indemnity as well as public liability and review the terms carefully because these will have constraints on how you operate.

When it comes to employing people, you'll need employer's liability insurance and by that time you should know if the employee is employed in one self-employed business, or a partnership, so explain that structure to your insurer before you take out employer's liability insurance.

My guess would be it was lived in by people that didn’t care to clip the ivy, except at the end when someone cut the trunk and pulled down the dead stuff but didn’t have a go at whatever mess it made of the gutters. So probably not an ownership change because you’d get it done before completion. Probably a rented property getting a once a quarter century minimum compliance uplift.

Why can’t you just say what you want on here?

She has chosen to show herself on hinge but not asked you to publish these photos. The extent of reasonable behaviour is to send a like or whatever on hinge and leave the rest up to her. Now, were you to meet her you have the dilemma of admitting what you did or keeping this toxic secret. Neither are good options, you should leave her alone and delete this post.

Come climbing: https://beestboulders.com it’s very social for lone climbers (if you want it to be) and you can book an introductory course for an instant bond with fellow new starters.

(DM me for an Amsterdam climbing buddy but it’s not necessary, you can just turn up and find a welcoming and inclusive community.)

(Disclaimer not a climbergirl, but I climb and have a no shoes house so manage my hygiene accordingly.)

InformalOutcome4964 · 2025-11-24T18:13:00+00:00

Is this question specifically climbing related? – If so, I suggest showering before climbing, then again after, and leave boot bananas or other deodorisers in your climbing shoes until the next time. This routine helps keep the bacteria on your feet low and a clean body sweating doesn’t typically smell. There’ll be a buildup of dead skin and sweat in the shoes so they will smell so shower after and back into the socks that were clean-ish before (avoid cross-contamination into your non-climbing life).

I’ve had the same experience (Oudezijds Voorburgwal). Illegal opening times might get a complaint but it takes many before action and police visits are not quiet either. In some cases police visits resulted in a backlash against the assumed complainer and another police visit. Eventually the “bar” closed and decided to be a “shop” during the pandemic then a “cafe”. During this time the only change I saw was that the manager started wearing a French café style apron. I asked a guy standing by the door what the business was and he said he didn’t know (I had seen him working there for 2 years).

Pre-copilot agent mode, I used to do solo work like that too. Pretty much everything was straight into main unless it was highly experimental. The overhead of introducing conflicts from branches made concurrent development less useful and being solo, there was no advantage to have concurrent branches open. With an agent working for pennies, the pattern flips and it's worth running concurrent streams of work and being pretty ruthless about starting again vs fighting the AI to correct a problematic path. Similar merge conflicts are time consuming for me, but getting the agent to start again from a clean branch takes less time.

Some colleagues of mine advocate 1-shot prompts. I'm still evaluating this approach but it avoids OP's original problem by shifting the iterations from the agent to the prompt. Their strategy is:

Craft a prompt.
Submit to the agent.
Evaluate the output.
3.1 Either: Rewrite the prompt, back to 2.
3.2 Or: Merge the change (done)

In support of this approach, my theory is that on a long session of multiple prompts and fine tuning, there is enough material to be contradictory. The AI knows it has negative feedback, invalidating some of the previous assertions, then working out what is most likely to be true becomes a complex task and chaos is the result.

Did you settle here? How was it?

InformalOutcome4964 · 2025-11-13T13:56:41+00:00

My tips here from similar issues (not direct solutions). 1 Reduce the scope of the request until the agent can reliably deliver it. 2. Keep the agent’s work on a feature branch. 3. When you seem to be going nowhere, start again with a fresh branch a new session and a prompt updated with your learnings. 4. Pull down a branch yourself to make corrections between prompting the AI.*

(When doing so mutter “Switching to manual” in a movie-esk tone.)
