Everything Happens for a Reason
When I felt the swift pain of my badk "giving out" the other day, my immediate thought was - WTF?! What did I do that caused this?! Now that the dust has settled, here is whatI think: 2026 is the year. AI is going to split people into 2 classes: the haves & the have-nots. The upper class & the lower class. It will change the landscape completely because escaping the lower class will be impossible. You won't be able to "take an extra job" or "change careers". "hard work" ain't gonnn produce shit. The Government will be paying everyone a "living wage". No idea how much that will be, but you won't be free to dream of earning more - getting that vacation (or vacation home). Your freedom is gone. No "bettering" yourself - or your life. The blast in my back was the Universe telling me that it's time to go completely psychotic. You have all the tools right in front of you. Do anything and everything possible to excape the permanent underclass! Become a moster at vibe coding. Become the person everybody thinks of when they think about AI and coding. Become a dev. An AI dev. Build your empire! AI are your employees. Start "Michael Shields Global Enterprises" - MSGE Work on every idea simultaneously. Perfect each idea to the point of earning additional income - or get rid of it. The minute you think of a new idea - strike! No matter if you sit on your ass or get after it - time will keep on ticking away. MOVE!!!
