MARKETS: 🚀 PUMP IT UP

Bitcoin kept soaring and Ethereum did even better, as the approval of its ETFs is still on the radar.

However, it seems that this rise in ETH has been boosted by sentiment rather than a change in fundamentals or a bigger number of transactions.

Another factor has been the decreasing supply of ETH after investors put most of what they held into staking pools, reaching a new record of $85 million.

As the FED continues to sandbag its rate cuts, REITs and Gold seem to have taken a bump as secure investments for those looking for a more conservative portfolio. Mortgage-based REITs have seemed get the biggest pump, increasing almost a 1% over the last week.

NVIDIA once again seems to be close to all the shining lights, as it is slated to post its earnings of the last quarter this week, which will undoubtedly give new signs on where investors take profit on their shares or continue to ride for the next wave.

Other big players in the Microchip industry such as TSMC and ASML saw small losses, which could be seen as a new correction on a possible NVIDIA sell off.

Meanwhile, commodities are predicted to soar as the year advances by a new report of the Citi Group, as the fear of a recession still looms. As the Houthi blockade on the Red Sea continues, other Iraqi and Lebanese exports could be affected, as the War in Gaza may spread to other regions of the middle east.

TLDR: Like it or not, Artificial Intelligence projects and networks keep gaining more momentum as their tools get more effective and easier to access. While this undoubtedly presents a new landscape with jobs being re-shaped, there' are a few alleys where to use these new technologies to your advantage and earning some cash along the way.

• 📽️ AI Video Creation

• 👨‍🏫 AI-Powered Courses

• 🤳 Artificial Influencer

📝​ THE BOTTOM LINE

Here's the deal, people.

AI might render obsolete as much as 300 million jobs. Goldman Sachs and other consultants agree that most jobs will be at peril of being completely replaced by machines.

In stark contrast of what happened in Willy Wonka’s factory, the white-collar jobs are the ones on the firing line, as a study from the University of Pennsylvania suggests.

So if AI is here to stay, we might as well try to make money with it. Let’s dive into three stories that might inspire you to side with SkyNet to start your next profitable venture.

📽️ AI VIDEO CREATION

Quentin Tarantino said it best when asked about going to film school: Just get out there and start filming.

And guess what? With free AI software, its easier than ever. You don’t need a camera, you don’t need any knowledge in photography. You can just ask a robot to paint you up some nice illustrations with tools like Leonardo AI, write a decent script with ChatGPT, and a few tweaks here and there, you can have an almost professional product.

Still reluctant? Check channels like Stellar Sagas or the AI Historian on YouTube. Most of their videos are done by using artificial intelligence to well, animate pictures that another artificial intelligence made.

Of course you’ll need some pointers on video editing, but its nothing fancy that you can’t learn in a day or two.

Looking at SocialBlade’s estimations of the Stellar Saga’s channel, it is still a respectable amount of passive income, close to $2,000 a month.

👨‍🏫 AI-POWERED COURSES

Do you have a great knack or are specifically good about something?

Well, you can take advantage of how the methods of learning have been changing and people now resort to online courses.

In fact, as result of COVID-19, the number of people learning from their homes through educational platforms has skyrocketed, with as many as 200 million people willing to sling some bucks to learn a new skill.

And the best thing about it? You don’t even need to know anything about programming or web developing. Pages like CourseBox got you covered. Just use their prompts and fine tune it to show all the content that you want.

Once your course is finished, you can promote it and earn some sweet bucks.

🤳 ARTIFICIAL INFLUENCERS

Meet Aitana López, she is an Instagram model and content creator, hailing from Barcelona. Her story is not that different from Maia Lima, from Argentina, who also has a large following in Instagram as an influencer.

The catch? Neither of them exist.

They were both made by a creative agency, and have been made completely through the usage of artificial intelligence. Using some tools like MidJourney and learning to use its prompts, you can get a consistent character to build an online presence.

And believe us, the world has a very big niche for AI influencers. In fact, they are somewhat catching up on revenue to normal influencers, as creative agencies manage to keep an iconic design.

😎 THE CHAD TAKEAWAY

Like it or not, the advancement of AI into pretty much every field is happening, sometimes even at an unperceivable pace, and there’s a plethora of free tools to use: whether you want to start a new project or get help with your work.

You’d be leaving money on the table if you are not trying to stay up to date with AI. It is quite possibly that your next job requires at least some interaction with some sort of an it.

Give it a shot, what do you have to lose?

NEWS: 📹 INTRODUCING SORA

OpenAI just shocked the Artificial Intelligence game again. The company that already lead the charge with ChatGPT and DALLE is now presenting Sora, a text-to-video generator.

While other projects have toyed around with the idea of “motioning” an existing image, like CapCut or Leonardo, OpenAI seems to streamline the process creating an intelligence that “understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world” as they say in their blog post.

Undoubtedly the tool still has some issues and can get a little bit sketchy sometimes, as AI engines still struggle with consistency and learning challenges like drawing hands, but there's still a lot of room for improvement.

The tool as it stands right now Sora could be a powerful substitution for stock video footage, before it evolves into a consistent tool open to public use.

NEWS: 🖥️ NEURALINK ADVANCEMENTS

Elon Musk just confirmed that his first Neuralink patient, who just got implanted a chip in its brain, can now control a mouse cursor with its freaking brain.

Neuralink is Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company focusing on creating Brain-Computer interfaces. Looks like something out of a Cyberpunk movie, but it is not a drill.

The company still holds a bittersweet reception from the public, which praises it as a innovative way of helping people restoring vision and motor functions. Of course, it has the small drawback of having a corporation having direct access to your own brain.

Seems like when Elon is the one pitching it, he gets 158 million in funding. But, when you are this guy…

NEWS: 🛦 PUTIN TAKES AVDIIVKA

Avdiivka, Ukraine's own ghost town, just got ghosted by its residents, thanks to Putin's party crashing.

In what looks like a scene from an apocalyptic movie, all with houses trashed and trees snapped, Russian cameras caught the messy aftermath, with NATO toys scattered around like garbage.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's troops waved the white flag to avoid a total wipeout, and Putin's doing a victory dance. This war's turning into a heavyweight bout with no end in sight.

But don't think it's all roses for Russia. They've apparently taken a hit of 47,000 troops in the last four months trying to snag Avdiivka. Talk about a high price for a piece of land.

CHAD OF THE WEEK: 🦠 JOHN MCAFEE

This dude's life was more action-packed than a Jason Statham, with enough twists to make your head spin. The man was kind of a mixture between Jason Bourne and Bill Gates. Check this out:

Just check the first line in his resume: Engineer at NASA. And we’re not talking about being one of those boring rovers into Mars, the man went all in in the Apollo program, putting men on the moon for the first time.

After hopping around software companies, McAfee had a visionary moment. While being employed as a software engineer, he came face to face with a new sort of problem: Computer viruses. Bear in mind these were the mid 80s, so the whole idea of your Apple II or your trusty IBM being infected was kind of a new thing.

Like a good Chad, he saw the business opportunity, and developed the first ever antivirus software, which he turned into millions.

McAfee even dived into politics, running for U.S. President not once, but twice as a Libertarian.

McAfee's life was a rollercoaster of bizarre claims and wild adventures. He claimed to have dodged over 50 assassination attempts.

He ended up relocating in Belize, where he spent years arguing against both the Belizean prime minister and the local gangs alike, after being framed for murder.

His enemies even planted a spy within his closest circle, Janice Dyson. After they orderded her to kill him via poisoning, McAfee’s response was to marry her and turn her against her own bosses.

McAfee lived for a while on a heavily armed boat in the Caribbean, and when he finally got caught by the police, he faked a heart attack to escape imprisonment.

The man was a vocal supporter of privacy rights, echoing the sentiments of Edward Snowden.

It is possible that McAfee ended up knowing more than he should, as there were very strong rumors of him blackmailing the US government to avoid paying taxes. He was finally detained in Spain and suspiciously found dead by suicide.

Of course, let ourselves doubt on that one.

Or maybe this is one of his tricks and he’s still alive?

To be perfectly honest here, there are a lot of grey areas in McAfee’s life.

From an alleged murder story, to blackmailing US Government officials to avoid paying taxes. The man was definitely controversial, but no one can deny that the man lived without fear. And never forget, that he who is brave, is also free.
