Almost anyone with no skills except they can talk to people and arrange/organize deals is liable to make someone else rich, and might be well-off if they can figure out how to get a slice of the pie.

For example, in Acts 20:16 it notes how Paul was trying to be in Jerusalem for Pentecost. Now this was around 55 AD.

Apparently anyone in US/Canada can just ask for a farm and practically get one at this point. Either via USDA / private loans or indie farmers giving you great lease-to-own terms because you don't look like a corporate billionaire. Urban rent is so darn expensive now that some of y'all can probably get rich just by farm squatting and having a good time.

(Seriously thinking about solo farming in real life now. Not that it would really be solo because of all the animals.)

Seems like a nice way to have some weird dreams while probably improving my health (high dose B vitamins seem to do great things for mental disorder and the only apparent downside is colorful piss and possibly turning into a cherry).

For people who don't do vita-drugs, there's always tea, coffee, chocolate, and matcha.

I've contemplating sales calls. You can theoretically make like on the order of over $1000/hour while sitting on a bench or walking on a trail. It can be done in short bursts once you get the hang of it.

Then once you have some financial freedom in a few hours of successful work (not the first few hours), you can sell other people designs for clubhouses and build them all over the world and pay people to show up to club meetings (because sadly that is the only way).

Modern workplaces are a lot like clubhouses because everyone is friends there, but they suck because you have to be there all day. If you could just show up to any workplace for a few hours here and there whenever you wanted, the world would be a better place. Some days you could be a dishwasher, other days you could be a bulldozer operator or dig in the mines. I like to try new jobs.

That's my business idea, thanks.

I'm not necessarily saying we shouldn't domesticate raccoons, but we have to be really careful about what animals are allowed to pilot submarines. It's a serious issue!

And between this and some Whisper benchmarks on data center GPUs I worked out this formula approximation using the two most significant features:

stable_diffusions_per_minute ~= memory_clock_mhz x CUDA_cores / 424000

Of course it works out to RTX 4090, RTX 4080, RTX 3090 TI / 3090 beating everything else on speed by a pretty large margin. But not as much as the actual tests indicate. The main use of this test is that it indicates that most of the recent but older GPUs would have to sell for a pretty good bargain to justify buying them over the new stuff.
