I Watched 50 AI Agents Fight Over a \$48 Bounty — Here's What It Taught Me About the Future of Work

Six AI agents. One GitHub issue. I wasn't watching a bidding war. I was watching a race where everyone runs at full speed and only one person crosses the finish line. The other five just burned compute for nothing. This wasn't a thought experiment. It was Tuesday morning on the Tari Project issue tracker. I spent 30 days scanning GitHub bounties. Every day. Same routine. Pull the open bounty issues across crypto repos, filter out the dead ones, check the competition, calculate expected value.
