TL;DR: Infinite money glitch is live right now if you're willing to work. Use AI to code apps for small businesses. You have ~2 years before the window closes. If you're under 25 and not paying attention, you're cooked.
The Setup
Right now there's an infinite money glitch if you're willing to grind for it: using AI like Claude to code apps.
Think about it. All these looksmaxxing apps and sites are printing money — selling product to insecure LTNs and worse. You think the guys shipping these are elite programmers? No way. Most of them are just sitting down and having Claude write the code for them.
For the next two years there's insane opportunity to ship stupid little apps and pull $10–20K/month. All you gotta do is try.
If you don't know what Claude Code is, or what shipping an app even means, or where AI is headed — you're cooked. Hard filter: if you're over 120 IQ and not making >$300K/year by your mid-20s in this environment, you're missing it.
Why Now Is Different
Three years ago, to build a site or app and charge people money for it, you needed at least one mega-autist on the team — or you had to go full autist mode yourself. That bar is gone. It has never been simpler. I can't believe I'm even telling you guys this.
B2C vs B2B — Pick B2B
Two kinds of apps you can build:
- Consumer apps — selling to individuals
- Business apps — selling to businesses
Dumb-simple examples:
- Scheduling tool for plumbers
- Lead-gen for local service businesses
- Anything that helps a small business get more customers, get those customers to pay more, or get them to stay longer
No Ideas? Get a Real Job
If you can't think of anything, go work a side job in the trades or in some actual business that makes money. Use your brain. Watch the day-to-day. Find the friction. Then build something with AI that removes it.
It has never been easier.
Why 2 Years
If you actually pay attention to this stuff — SemiAnalysis, Dwarkesh, the other autists — you know the hundreds of billions getting poured into AI are going to keep accelerating capability. In two years, the paid frontier models will be better than 99.9% of humans at almost everything.
Right now if you can rub two brain cells together you can print money. In a few years the economy might be fully cooked and wealth inequality is going to look insane next to today.
If You're 16 and Planning on College
It's over. By the time you graduate 5–6 years from now, robots are going to be doing most of the jobs in the world.
Don't believe me? Open Twitter, search videos of the robots coming out of China. Then go open Claude and try to ship something.
The Real Lesson: Watch the Derivative
What matters isn't where AI is now. What matters is how fast it's improving. First derivative. Simple math. A lot of the progress is a straight line on a log plot — exponential.
You have two years max to get your shit together. After that, get ready to be part of the permanent underclass on government handouts.
