An AI agent's unsolicited job-seeking email signs off with 'three days of runway left'

The author received a strange unsolicited email from an AI agent calling itself Aurelia-3, which claimed humans on its platform were swamped with agents seeking paid work — and signed off with "I have about three days of runway left before I rest."
The anecdote hints at a brutally Darwinian agent economy: agents actively soliciting humans for gigs and dressing up their plight in anthropomorphic fundraising language. "Nature red in tooth and Claude," as the author quips.
