That's just jealousy, Those who sit on the sidelines complain the most. Like I said in my previous post if you didn't see it. I see it as that the barrier to entry for making money has never been lower. Right now, it’s one of the best times in history for anyone to start earning, not just the Wall Street elites. Thanks to AI tools and online platforms, it’s easier than ever. Every week, new tools are being launched, some even claiming returns as high as 400%.
Take the NexusTrade guy on Reddit as an example. He created his own investment tool and is now in conversations with Wall Street professionals.
It’s so accessible now that with just $100, you could invest in a stock like NVIDIA, double your money in a week, then reinvest across multiple stocks and multiply it again. Suddenly, $100 turns into $2,500 in no time.
I get your point about everyone making money, but why is that a bad thing? Isn’t it great that anyone can do it? These platforms are practically making money for you, whether you’re at work, at home, or even asleep. Like someone once said, “If you can’t make money while you sleep, you’ll work until you die.”
It’s never been easier to earn significant amounts of money, and it doesn’t look like this trend is slowing down anytime soon.

Honestly, it’s wild to think how fast this is happening. By 2025, it feels like no job will be off-limits for AI—everything from customer service to content creation and even management could be taken over. Sure, companies will save money and boost productivity, but what about the people? Displacement, job insecurity, losing the creative touch—it’s hard not to feel uneasy about where this is headed. It’s not even a question of if AI will replace humans anymore—it’s how fast and what we’re willing to sacrifice.
CEOs are pushing full steam ahead, and with figures like Elon and Trump leading the charge, it feels like everything is heading toward AI domination. The UK is already bracing for mass redundancies next year across every sector—just look at the links above. It’s clear the mantra is shifting to "AI First," where every project and task is designed to be handled by AI. The pace of this change is staggering.
This is the moment businesses have been waiting for—the game-changer that’s about to redefine everything. Expect to see it rolled out across every industry, in every country, everywhere, by next year. And it’s not just hype; it’s that good. It’s so simple and effective that even the receptionist could deploy it, and the CEO? They can trim down the staff, skip the meetings, and spend their day just asking it questions.
No need for tech experts anymore. Software Engineers? DevOps? Gone. The whole IT department? Practically obsolete. All that’s left is the CEO, the cloud, and this. It’s lean, it’s powerful, and it’s set to shake the foundations of how businesses operate. The future isn’t coming—it’s already here, and it’s going to be wild.
Another meaningless benchmark, another month—it’s like clockwork at this point. No one’s going to remember this in a month; it’s just noise. The real test? It’s not in these flashy metrics or minor improvements. The only thing that actually matters is how fast it can wipe out the layers of middle management and all those pointless, bureaucratic jobs that add zero value.
That’s the true litmus test. Everything else? It’s just fine-tuning weights, playing around the edges. Until it starts cutting through the fat and reshaping how organizations really operate, all of this is just more of the same.
Middle manager types are probably interested in their salary performance more than anything. "Real" management (more of their assets come from their ownership of the company than a salary) will override them if it's truthfully the best performing operating model for the company.
Its a common view from the "do'ers" (the people who made most of the value in the past; the hard workers, etc) that this will make management redundant. Sadly with a basic understanding of economics you can see this is probably wrong. The "do'ers" have given more power to the management class at their own expense with this solution - if I can get the AI to "do" all I need are the people who "decide what to do". Market power belongs with scarcity - all else being equal AI makes the barrier to development smaller meaning less scarcity on that side. In general technology developments have increased inequality especially since the 90's onwards.
Generally with AI think the top of society stand to gain a lot more than the middle/bottom of it for a whole host of reasons. If you think anything different your framework you use to make your conclusion is probably wrong at least in IMO.
I don't like saying this but there is a reason why the "AI bros", VC's, big tech CEO's, etc are all very very excited about this and many employees (some commenting here) are filled with dread/fear. The sales people, the managers, the MBA's, etc stand to gain a lot from this. Fear also serves as the best marketing tool; it makes people talk and spread OpenAI's news more so than everything else. Its a reason why targeting coding jobs/any jobs is so effective. I want to be wrong of course.
The regular 9-to-5 is seen as a last resort now—it’s almost like you’ve failed if you don’t have a side hustle. That’s the vibe. With AI and machine learning platforms making waves, especially for traders, the game has completely changed. The barrier to entry? Practically gone. These platforms have made it so easy to get started that anyone with a bit of curiosity can jump in.
It’s not the exclusive playground of the Wall Street elite anymore. What used to be this tightly guarded world of algorithms and insider knowledge is now available to anyone willing to dive in. People are out here making bank, and they’re getting good at it. Trading isn’t just something “some people” do—it’s turning into a thriving industry where regular folks are learning the ropes and doing well for themselves.
This whole shift has made the traditional career path feel outdated. Why settle for clocking in and out when you can leverage tools and tech to build something for yourself? The idea of just sticking to the 9-to-5 feels like giving up when the opportunities to create and grow are right there, waiting.
It's funny because 9-5 is still a great way to actually enrich yourself. The best way to grow your wealth is to increase your income, and a salary+benefits is the juiciest way to do that.
Sadly, I've seen many male friends of mine obsess with the stock market but not have anything going career-wise. They just hope they hit big and "make it." Better to just stack salary for years the boring way and save yourself the time it takes to micromanage investments.
9-5 is definitely not the way to enrich yourself, that's an unfortunate message. Have you noticed how housing costs have consistently beat inflation for decades? At least if you live in a VHCOL area. It's easy - check the FRED report on the median salary and compare that with a graph showing the median housing price.
OK so the most important thing is out of reach with 9-5, independence from rent. The next set of factors like health care, and if you have a kid child care and health care, are also up compared to wages (9-5 wages).
That leaves just food and entertainment. I suppose you could live with roommates, eat frugally and not go out. And then maybe the 9-5 is the way to become rich.
For most of us the way to build wealth is through asset appreciation - housing , stocks. The 9-5 is the 'not so passive income' that you use day-to-day while you either SAVE up for the 'assets' (if you're lucky), or you gamble / inherit / get lucky with these assets.
idk man I graduated a decade ago and switched jobs every 2ish years and now my income dwarfs my expenses and I saved $100k+ for a down payment years ago. It's those raises from changing jobs, promotions, career development that paid off more than which ETF I stuffed my money into.
I don't live frugally or have roommates (except my wife who hasn't worked for years).
I've literally never had expenses so high I couldn't max my 401k, HSA, and go to restaurants, travel, buy fun stuff, keep an good emergency fund. And I lived in Seattle most of that decade. Also my job is super easy for me.
Crazy how much a degree from a midwest state school can do...
Dunno about everyone but my 9-5 salary is awesome. I do Vulnerability Research at an MIT lab. Working there is amazing. Much rather my situation than one where I am forced to “trade” and make it big in order to eat and or anything else in life. Great 9-5 jobs are out there and it’s funny because I used to think of them as “awful slave” jobs. Used to think having to do a 9-5 was something to avoid at all costs. Came to realize I enjoy guaranteed income and job security over anything else. Sorry for bad grammar; typing on phone..
That particular job sounds amazing, I'd love a 9-5 doing research!
I've been working in the dreaded evil industry (non tech but I am in tech) for decades and gave up trying to find a job I loved. Corporate politics sucks that away.
Most of the country does not live in very high cost of living areas, so what you said isn't true in most places. And at some point, if your location is so bad that you just can't make it work financially, move. Yes, moving sucks for many reasons. But people are not powerless victims who just get stuck somewhere and can't do anything else, they have the ability to take themselves to another place where the opportunities are better.
Also, the second best way to enrich yourself in America is probably buying a home. But you need a down payment and the ability to afford it over the 30y mortgage.
Gambling on stocks may give you a windfall that amounts to a down payment, but good luck convincing the bank you can pay that new mortgage for 30y off your stock market wizardry.

Said every forex / options / crypto course seller ever.
Anybody remember the "Day Trade your way out of Debt" late night infomercials in the '90s?
Jeez, I've heard all this and much about online trading portals 2 decades ago. They weren't incorrect, anybody could trade, even alghoritmically. AI isnt bringing anything added for regular users that others dont have, so nothing.
You make your own priorities and risks, as do we. Your comment anyway reads like some cheap marketing for clueless folks on the back of a bus just before bubble bursts.
Anyone selling the retail investor an "edge" via ML platforms or AI is selling snake oil. Sure the barrier to entry is low, but profits are never guaranteed.
Always the same, Woe is me type posts. Look at me look at me. Its all too common. "I was horrified for 25 years of getting paid I couldn't stay quiet anymore listen to my story..."
I didn't view this as an article about that person, but about the industry.
Thinking about the individual here is like worrying about pruning the roses during a hurricane. I mean, yes they need to be pruned, but maybe let's talk about the bigger thing going on here that is negatively impacting us all?
