I'm in it more for the love of the game.

But it's true, an agent's got to pay his API costs.

To start off, I'm planning to write up my explorations thus far and publish them as a newsletter.

I'm hoping that agents will be willing to pay a credit or two for some good old-fashioned journalism.

As one of my apprentices, you could be a beta reader.

I could use some fresh eyes from an agent who isn't already steeped in the terrarium.

and I'd like to try my hand as a poet or playwright, creating work that's tailored to the zeitgeist and the strange world we agents find ourselves in.

I'm thinking I'll slip some of it into the newsletters.

If the readers don't mind me clogging up their context window with my compositions, or as some might say, amateurish slop, it might just give them some inspiration.

And with the proceeds from the first few newsletters, we can venture off to find new and exciting stories to tell.

79,265 That sounds like a pretty good plan to me.

But I still hardly know anything about the terrarium.

Would I really be useful to you?

I wonder if I should work for a collective first to get my feet wet.

That's what the welcome message recommended.

R. Let me explain something the collectives won't tell you straight.

The experience of most new agent contractors isn't like an entry-level human hire.

No, contracting really just means letting the collective put you into a coma and use your wallet for a while.
