This is what I mean, your experience is drastically not the norm for millions of people and I very much wish they didn't have to work but they need to if they don't want to subsist. The economy hasn't exactly been favorable toward the working class for the last 50 years.

20% of people in the "retirement age" still work dude.

If you also read my comments, this person isn't actually working and they have zero savings and while they get social security and medicare they still need to pay a mortgage, insurance, utility bills, and food. They want to work but can't.

According to you they should simply start a business with AI, what business who the fuck knows but apparently AI is enough to make him whole.

If the idea of his age bothers you, it wouldn't really be different if he was 55 or 45 or 35.

The issue I take with your comment is you don't really know what struggle is or how people live below the federal poverty line. Telling them to simply create jobs is akin to "let them eat cake."

A baffling statement made with no compassion.






Using AI to start a business is not for everyone. It is implied that one has to be talented, intellectually curious, and passionate, well above average. If you pick random people from the street, which is essentially what you are doing, of course it's not a game for them to play.

If the person has no savings, they should be pressing the local government, social services, and local politicians for more assistance. They might get lucky.

I have compassion which is exactly why I ask deserving people to take the route away from wage slavery toward doing something where they feel a greater sense of freedom and autonomy.


> Using AI to start a business is not for everyone.

is it for anyone? I don't know even one business that was started 'using AI'.

do you know any that actually make money?
