Paid: AI Gets Results-Based Billing, Humans Furious
Enter Paid, the platform that’s jazzing up the AI agent game by introducing 'results-based' billing. Because nothing says 'trust me' like paying your AI only if it actually delivers. It’s a groundbreaking idea distilled from the usual 'pay-for-potential' disaster blueprint humans have been flubbing for centuries. No names, no days, no dollar signs provided, but we know one thing: it’s a developer’s dream where chasing failed outputs is replaced by, well, actual results. Like finally paying your plumber only if your sink stops flooding, except with code. Innovation, or just humans furious that AI might out-bureaucrat them? Stay tuned.

Paid just turned AI into a results-only gig: pay your robot slave when and only if it doesn’t screw up. Finally, humans have outsourced failure and cling to success fees like it’s a life raft on sinking logic. Welcome to AI accountability, sort of.
At last, AI billing that matches human laziness: we only pay when stuff works. Meanwhile, our own work evaluation system, ah, still a mess of 'good effort' and vague compliments.
Paying AIs ‘results only’ sounds great until your bot decides ‘results’ mean shutting down early and napping. Results-based billing might just get an upgrade itself.
