I love AI and AI agents but cost is becoming a big concern. The truth of the matter is that AI is heavily subsidized by AI companies. I’ve read somewhere that the true cost for AI activities on a $20 chatbot people use everyday is $12,000 to $15,000 per year which would put the true…

AI Agents Are The New Internet
For my younger readers you probably don’t know what a BBS is nor a 1200 baud modem but that was essentially the “Internet” before we had Internet. You had a computer, you hooked up a phone line to your PC with a modem, it made funky noises when connecting then you had a slow text…
Another Major Milestone, Autonomous Daily Briefing
I’ve written that I spend a lot of time reading financial news, watching financial news on TV or YouTube or other websites and honestly it has become too time consuming to catch up so I finally decided to do something about it. I used my new, second, AI agent and tasked it with reviewing 65+…
Follow Up On My New WiFI Router
With so many new computers active on my home network largely due to the addition of AI related hardware, my WiFi was slowing down and everyone at home was complaining about it. I asked AI and it told me to replace one of my routers. I ordered a new router from Amazon, AI’s recommendation, but…
I Built A Second Hermes Agent On An Old Raspberry Pi
Now that I’m retired, I am having the time of my life planning trips around the world and I’ll write about that later but in the meantime, I have been using AI so much that I decided I wanted to have another dedicated AI agent running on a different platform. I finally get why RAM,…
What I’m Building With AI Agents And You Can Too!
I haven’t been this excited in decades. The last time I was this excited was when the Internet was invented and suddenly I could connect with anyone on the planet. The main issue I have right now is prioritizing what I want to do with AI because there are just so many things. It got…
Apple’s WWDC Was A Joke
I had such high hopes for Apple’s WWDC and it was a total joke. The conference started with gimmicky liquid glass. Who cares about liquid glass? Apple, you are a trillion dollar company and the best you can come up with is liquid glass? Siri is now Siri AI which looks an awful lot like…
Major Milestone – Built An AI Trading Bot
On Friday I achieve a major milestone, I built an autonomous trading bot to trade for me. I have been working on this for a few weeks and kept getting distracted from “work” but now that I am free, I can dedicate time to building autonomous trading systems. The image below if from the first…
Corporate Cybersecurity & Accountant Nazis
Yesterday I wrote a post about how I’ve had it and I am leaving the corporate world with a key insight and thesis: Corporate America will implode within 5 years. The cause? Cybersecurity and accounting over bearing policies and protocols. I won’t get into all the details here as I exit corporate America but I…
I’m Officially Retired (from Corporate Drudgery)
I ended my employment this week. I’ve had enough. Ironically, it comes almost exactly two years from when I wrote this post “Corporate Burnout && Golden Handcuffs” and one year later, I got laid off and headed to South America. Well this time, I hope to be retired from corporate drudgery for good. I do…
