How I make money with Agentic AI

Many people are very secretive about how they make money with agentic AI.

I'm not.

I've been self-developing websites since 1998— nearly 30 years. Never really truly enjoyed the process. Particularly the red tape mind-numbing boring crap like DNS settings, domain propagation, FTP uploads etc.

Today for first time in my life, I'm enjoying human activities (cooking, reading, exercise, writing, making music), while AI builds the website for me.

And I'm not just talking designing a site that I go put up later. I mean, end-to-end, like a human employee, actually deploying the entire website for me 😮

And concurrently with that, agentic AI is making me a travel vlog on Day of the dead with my cell phone clips.

And uploading 60 designs to Zazzle.

And producing a music album.

Is the internet going to "break" with content? 😅

The internet is going to explode a magnitude of order in the next 48 months, the amount of additional websites to the current estimated 1.5 billion websites that will appear is going to be staggering.

(I'm using a combination of Muse and Instinct but you could also use Dots and Grok Bot and I'm sure there's others).

Muse has signs it will emerge as the 800lb gorilla for its userability.

I'm sure there's lots of real time use cases of other people, using agentic AI, to boss around other Agentic AI. The leverage of that is astounding.

How much longer can all this scale?

Own the means of production. In stock market, I advise people worried about the toppy AI trade, continue to periodically deploy capital in the "Picks & shovels" plays.

(Befittingly, you don't need me, just go ask AI, "what are the picks and shovels stock plays for AI?").

I always remember calling up Jim Cramer during Covid pandemic, as a call-in to his show "Mad Money".

I asked him "what do you think about STAMPS stock given everyone is at home making e-commerce businesses?". He shot it down. Of course it tripled after that. 🤣

I'm not worried about the AI trade, anymore than anyone should have been worried about longterm prospects for internet stocks in 1999.

The amount of regular joes that are going to be doing a money grab of deploying AI, or people who just want their time back from menial digital tasks.... agentic AI is addictive like a drug
