As of last year, I made adjustments to my social engagements and gained some clarity about how and with whom I should spend my time. I took this detox much further by reducing my binge-watching and stopping looking for games outside my home. Now, I can clarify what I must do as I take a semester break from teaching at a local Poly.
Beyond my training business, I will focus my time on the following:
a) Artificial Intelligence Apprenticeship Program Foundation course
This is not the AIAP program, but the course that equips students with the skillset. This program is very challenging as it's not conducted by a human but simply a set of instructions, after which you're thrown into the deep end with data you need to clean and process independently. I enjoy the freedom to explore a complex problem, but I'm not advancing as quickly as I did in classes in the past, as I want to thoroughly master the skillset before the semester ends.
This effort may lead to an application for the actual program, but I expect the dividends to be paid to my ERM code base, and even my YouTube viewers may see some code very soon.
b) AI course for kids
Another project I'm developing is an AI course for kids aged 9-14 with a tuition centre in the East. If you have kids free during the June holidays, you can write privately to me to enquire. I really want to leave my comfort zone, find new sources of regular income, and learn new skills that I have not developed so far, and there is no better way than to create an AI course from the ground up.
c) YouTube Channel
This is the equivalent of my gaming hobby. One of my biggest regrets is that I should have built up my influencer street cred when I started conducting investment courses, because the feedback on viewers and responses can be addictive! My problem is that I'm a long way from monetisation, but the secondary effect is that some of my materials will reinforce my course materials after further enhancements.
My next step is to find more creative ways to get viewers to pay me, and you will discover considerable developments in this space. I intend to engage viewers three times a week.
The underlying theme is that I'm undergoing another transformation.
This volume of work has been impossible to do in the past, as I lacked a strong AI tool backing me up in the bad old days. AI now improves my marketing copy, debugs my code, improves my slides, and corrects my grammar. I must spend six months trying to use AI to give me an idea of the kind of person who can make me obsolete. The hardest part is to resort to asking Chatgpt every time I'm stuck on something, and it's clear that there are so many obstacles for me.
With all these breakneck changes and the impending doom that can come once Agentic AI is ready to take on the world, I have no idea what kind of profile a person needs to have to make a living in this world.
It does not matter because with the proper domain knowledge, a person can become a one-man army and run an entire business operation independently.
