If you were given something like $10mil, invested in index funds over the last 10 years, in nontax advantaged accounts. And your wife has health issues.

No kids.

Not to mention, a world where nature is taking a beating year after year.

Do you think you'd be interested in working in front of a computer day after day researching, script writing, etc. for people you don't know and probably will never meet?

Now take that answer, and ask yourself - if you were a content generator for your career, and your content got consumed into every AI model early on. Now making any submission have the added hurdle of being content flagged for possible AI usage. Ultimately taking a huge hit to your revenue model...

Or perhaps, spending your time with your wife. Enjoying nature. And just generally disconnecting from the rat race. Especially the rat race 3.0 (Now with AI!)

Like yeah, do some projects here and there for yourself. But do you really want the added burden of pleasing others?
