We are still in the early stage of AI and already I struggle to tell what is real or fake on my Twitter feed. It will only get better in its deception with time.
You know those incriminating Epstein photos with his associates? A few years from now a common defense from people like that would be that the photos were AI generated, and it would be difficult to prove them wrong beyond reasonable doubt.
People in previous cases already attempted to dismiss incriminating pics of themselves as being the work of clever Photoshop artists.
Lol, you asked this question exactly 84 days ago [1] and I responded then. I wonder if you've experimented with anything since that initial question was asked because I'm also interested in getting rich. Maybe we could exchange ideas via email.
I'm going to repost my answer in that previous thread, but with an addition.

There is no secret.
You either need to have a very valuable skill that people are willing to pay you for, or you start a business selling a product or offering a service (basically having a valuable skill) that people are willing to pay you for - and you scale with time.
Or, you find a very rich person (there are lots of wealthy people out there in the world) who takes a liking to you and gives you life-changing money—either as an investment in a business you’re interested in pursuing but lack the funds for, or as a grant.
Or, you get lucky like if you had bought Bitcoin back when it was worth a negligible amount and then you check back years later (2026) to find out that forgotten investment is now worth a lot of money. But that's likely not going to be the case for you.
I also wish there was a secret I could learn about to make me rich, because I'm not rich, and I really wish to be.
P.S. Don't do anything illegal in your quest to make money. It's more fulfilling to win a game without cheating.
I know literal kernel developers who can handle drivers and race conditions any day of the week who can't wrap their mind around Outlook, let alone GUI updates.
Myself. Forth it's easy, 9front C it's manageable but POSIX it's hell and managing both Unix descendants are a piece of cake.
GUI interfaces for the enterprise came from Dante's hell themselves. I hate them, they are like the Madhouse from that Asterix movie making satire of the European bureucracy of the day. The often are oddly designed and they are not documented at all, you must guess the meaning by chance of with a senior tutoring you.
The same with anything corporate from Microsoft with AD roles/group policies and the like. Or anything coming from IBM.
lol you guys are being too nice. Building CRUD apps is just implementing business logic by gluing APIs together, there is nothing to understand except the business domain, which is only done through exposure, because business logic is random. And then the APIs which are all essentially a kludge because of the shifting business logic.
Understanding low level code puts you on entirely different level because you can reason about a problem using logic and how systems operate.
No disrespect to any crud devs here but from my personal experience they just know a particular implementation of their domain and rarely even consider how the code base even operates as a whole

It isn't "random", a as business process develop over time to various business/customer/regulatory needs. The business process evolves over time typically.
When you take a business process, you are often formalising it. The fact that you have no appreciation of this, tells me you don't really understand what you are talking about.
> Understanding low level code puts you on entirely different level because you can reason about a problem using logic and how systems operate.
You have to do this in high level languages as well. It isn't something that only low level devs do. In fact to be able to write any good code you need to understand the problem domain.

You are literally disrespecting them by saying this. It is also false, what you are describing is developers having deal with incomplete/poor specifications and poor documentation. BTW this is rampant through the industry. I wanted to do some stuff yesterday with Docker and Go, the documentation is non-existant.
this seems to rely on assumptions on what a soul or a ghost would be, and that it would be perse something physical that needs to adhere to these laws.
