[kwlug-disc] is AI profitable?

[Jason Eckert]

Of course, everything is relative and perspective is important.
AI *can* be profitable. For example, Menachem Rabinowitz posted the
following on LinkedIn recently:

One guy was sitting there at the beachside bar, with no less than 5 screens
set up. I had to ask.

He told me he makes £15K a month just sitting at the bar. When I asked him
to explain, he laughed. "You're like the tenth guy this hour to ask. Go get
a drink and sit. I'll show you."

I bought a ridiculously overpriced cocktail for us both, and listened:

- Screen 1 is running Claudebot, which scours for any Reddit queries
related to travel
- Screen 2, 3, and 4 are running really basic AI agents. They're all logged
into different airline websites, and reload the pages every 4 seconds.
- Screen 5 is running Copilot, and is constantly generating new code for a
travel software.

"So how does this make you £15K a month?" I asked.

He pointed to the cocktail.
"The owner gives me commission for every drink I sell."
