Okay so yeah this interests me because it seems so plausible that the right set of of LMs w/ custom tools surely could turn a profit on self-publishing of children's e-books.

Like how could that NOT be the case?

I feel like any sufficiently variable sparse business w/ minimal tool call needs it'd have to be the case that you can turn on a model and get something going.

t-shirt drop ship, children e-books, webgame ad-rev, something of this sort

True

What's like the most minimally scoped business someone could operate entirely digitally though? Is it the drop ship crap? Or maybe like a web game w/ ad revenue?

What business has the smallest context window to operate?

Like maybe if you can have constraints in place such that the space of variables is minimal we already have economically relevant AI

Like a drop shipping t-shirt thing - surely the right sequence of LMs can

(1) parse out vibes/trends (e.g., "67 is currently a meme") (2) tool call that out to a print shop (3) spam it on twitter

Seems like there's just so much white space on benchmarks and gyms for this

Saving this for next time I get over caffeinated and try to convince my friends that economically viable AI will make their CPG business irrelevant
