Leave a comment

Whether you need a side hustle or want to make a full career out of AI, here are ways to start

A few years back, I read Warren Buffett’s book, Snowball. It turned out to be one of my favorite books of all time. In this book, Warren shares stories of when he was a kid and some of his favorite books. One book in particular, 1,000 Ways to make $1,000 by F.C. Minaker, helped shape his idea around business and making money. 

After reading this legendary book many times, I decided to refresh the concept to help others by sharing ideas on how to use current AI technology to make money. As an entrepreneur who uses AI in my business, I know there are many ways in which AI can help you create side hustles, start businesses, and even help make your current jobs more efficient.

Whether you would like to start a small side business, or whether you want this to be your full career, there are many opportunities to make money with AI.

If you’re not a techie type, there may be a learning curve to become adept at the skills to succeed at AI. But if you have an interest in it and a desire to learn, and are willing to undergo some training and education, it’s possible to learn enough to make money with AI.

Here are three ways to begin your journey into making money with AI technology.

Prompt generators are becoming a lucrative business. Humans will pay for AI prompts that are ‘ready to go’.

  • Prompt Engineering refers to the process of designing and fine-tuning prompts for natural language processing (NLP) models. It involves creating a set of instructions or guidelines that tell the model what information to look for and how to use that information to generate a response. Here are a few steps and platforms I would use to start earning money today:

  • Transcription Services involve the conversion of audio or video recordings into written or text format. This service is provided by professional transcriptionists who are trained to accurately transcribe spoken words into written form. Here are a few steps and platforms I would use to start earning money today:

  • Labeling and Annotation are processes in which data is manually labeled or tagged with specific attributes or metadata that make it easier for machines to understand and analyze the data. Labeling involves assigning a specific category or label to data, such as identifying objects in an image or sentiment in a text. Annotation involves adding additional information, such as context or relationships between data points. Here are a few steps and platforms I would use to start earning money today:
    1.                Create an account at Clickworker.

The next decade will be a ‘Decade of Abundance‘ due to technological advancements like AI. While AI has its detractors, I believe we should be leaning in to explore this life-changing technology because it will empower the globe. 

AI has already been able to improve our lives in many ways, and it has the potential to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, including in healthcare, education, and security. There’s no reason why you cannot be a part of this revolution, too. For the Silo, Joe Nigro.

EMP Pulse Attack Would Cripple North American Energy Grids

EMP Attacks: Expert William Forstchen Describes Cataclysmic Impact

Washington, D.C., 2023 — An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack above the center of North America would cripple the already vulnerable energy grid, wiping out power and setting off a cascade of deadly events. But just how real is the threat?

“I believe the threat of America being hit by an EMP weapon is the single greatest danger to the survival of [North] America,” said William R. Forstchen, Ph.D.

Widely considered one of the foremost experts on EMP attacks, Forstchen has been consulted by agencies within the American federal and state governments and has spoken at conferences all over the United States.

Forstchen has also written extensively about the devastating impact of EMP strikes, beginning with his New York Times bestseller, One Second After, a realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States and Canada, literally within one second.

One Second After immerses readers in the terrifying concept of an EMP attack, prompting discussions regarding:

  • The frightening specifics about EMP
  • The societal impact of an EMP attack
  • Hour-by-hour, day-by-day, month-by-month details on the effect an EMP attack would have on a community
  • What, if anything, can be done to protect people and the country against an EMP attack?
  • If EMP is such a threat, why aren’t we preparing?
  • The serious threats facing America regarding physical and cyberattacks on our nation’s infrastructure

The publication of One Second After spawned a series that includes One Year After, The Final Day and the upcoming book, Five Years Later. A feature film based on One Second After is currently being developed.

“EMP is a byproduct of detonating a nuclear weapon,” Forstchen said in an interview. “If you detonate a weapon 200-250 miles above the center of the United States … the gamma ray burst when it hits the upper atmosphere starts a chain reaction. … By the time this hits the earth’s surface at the speed of light, it is a giant electrostatic discharge … it blows out the entire power grid of the United States and Canada. Game over.”

William R. Forstchen is a New York Times bestselling author and holds a doctoral degree from Purdue University with a specialization in military history and technology. He is a noted expert historian and public speaker and has been interviewed on FOX News, C-SPAN, and Coast to Coast on topics ranging from history to technology and cultural issues, to space technology development, to security threats.
