Working From Nowhere
Gaming AI to dupe large corporations to create the ultimate passive income streams.
Let’s go now to Good Citizen, how is your share of the project coming along? Why don’t you bring us up to speed on where your team is at?
LLM API, automated for Good Citizen during meetings. The visual of Good Citizen in the Zoom Meeting is AI-generated. The voice is AI-matched, and connected to an LLM response automation, programmed to always be positive, on schedule, and meet whatever benchmarks and cover all bullet points and talking points for the weekly team Zoom meeting.

Sound crazy?
It’s not.
A midwit acquaintance of mine was hired by IBM six years ago for “project management.” Before that, he was an English teacher with zero useful work experience.
Before ever becoming an AGILE certified PM at IBM doing next to nothing, he bounced around from meetings and spent half his weeks “working from home” which included logging into his laptop now and again to pretend to be working. He replied to emails as needed and maybe worked a total of two hours in the morning and an hour in the afternoon.
At large corporations, nobody gives a shit. The overhead is tremendous. Nobody is watching. New employees are given leeway to “train” and become useful and future productive worker bees. All that investment in an individual’s growth and learning will rarely pay off any meaningful return.
People come and go. There’s zero accountability. Everyone pretends to be working on important matters when in fact 90% of the people are useless middle managers, managing or pretending to manage other useless middle managers.
The corporate entity is so vast and distant from the individual human desire to value their work and care about contributing to the soulless corporate parasite—disinterest and apathy reign. People want to get paid while doing the bare minimum work and making as few waves as possible.
When this happens and goes noticed on a large scale—the geniuses at human resources are charged with organizing team-building and morale-building exercises to get their employees to pretend to give one iota more of a shit than they do which would bring their total of iotas of shit given, to exactly one. Sometimes they spring for parties and swag and holiday competitions, but most of it is useless nonsense.
No matter how much money the soulless corporate monster spends on its cogs, they won’t stop feeling like useless drones in something that they will look back on later in life with tremendous regret for having squandered so much of it in the service of such an asinine enterprise.
How much did they pay you to first give up on your dreams?

But things don’t have to be this way anymore. Forget working from home. That’s for lazy underlings of the pampered pajama class who tell the blood and sweat working classes of the real labor economy to “learn to code.”
Well, the time has come, for everyone to “learn to code” and with Artificial Intelligence doing coding for them, they don’t even need to do that.
In the past six months, I’ve used GPT-4 to create crypto trading bots that trade while I sleep using Pine Script. I’ve used it to help guide me with Java and Python, in the development of an AI-connected quiz game for Android, including the backend with AWS. Until that point, my coding experience was limited to CSS, HTML, and deciphering media propaganda. Anyone can develop anything with a little time, prompt patience, and discipline using AI.
During the hoax pandemic—WFH—“Working From Home” became a way to keep the masses safe from the repackaged and repurposed “flu” bug. Government workers, educators in Blue States, tech pansies, executives, and media sluts were all able to exercise their right to sit at home and pretend to work while attending online meetings part-time in their underwear, some of them at CNN forgetting to shut off their cameras before rubbing one out for their co-workers.
Working from home has gotten a lot of flack, but it shouldn’t. It has created one of the greatest money-making opportunities of 100% Passive Income Streams in our lifetimes.
With the power of Artificial Intelligence to fabricate human characters, imitate human voices, and replicate real-time video of oneself, the future of work for the most ingenious and courageous man (or woman) will be Working From Nowhere.
Since working from nowhere is essentially not working at all, this individual could potentially work from nowhere for many companies simultaneously, drawing in mid-six figures annually.
During the hoax pandemic, there were endless stories of tech bros, software developers, and engineers, who openly bragged about taking multiple six-figure salaries from big tech firms. They said the work was so easy, expectations so low, that they could do two and sometimes three jobs at once that they applied to work simultaneously at multiple companies.
During the pandemic, one engineer who was bored with his job at Google, tired of not being challenged and being sent floating around as another cog in a big, indifferent, machine, decided to apply to other tech companies.
He was quickly hired at one and found the work a joke, so he tried for a third salary. All the interviews were distant, not in-person, while the entire job was work from home with the occasional weekly meetings—remote, online, some not even requiring video camera, only audio. He could simply unmute his mic and make a few statements concurring with whatever some middle manager said. He outsourced half his coding work to Indians.
Before you judge me on this idea, I’d like to dispense with some moral quandaries that may have tickled your conscience. Some of these may include:
This is fraud
This is dishonest
This could be considered criminal
It isn’t fair to the corporation
If you’re stuck on the last one, feel free to stop reading, and go devote your life to one and see where it gets you.
Go out of your way to make yourself indispensable, irreplaceable, completely useful, earnest, and pleasing, and when the next recession hits, enjoy that meeting with George Clooney where he hands you a redundancy folder and tells you “Thank you for your service and good luck.”
A corporation is a soulless parasitic entity only interested in extracting time, labor, and dollars wherever possible (especially through magic accounting, theft, fraud, share buybacks, and illegal activity) and always at the expense of whatever is expendable, especially humans.
A corporation cares about its workers in the same way that a pimp cares about his bitchez, especially in the U.S. where PTO is a joke, health care is barely covered, and workers are expected to put their lives on hold to race the other rats around the wheel at ever-increasing speeds, for ever-shittier compensation.
For a family to barely maintain a middle-class existence this now requires BOTH parents to do this shit show full time while ignoring their kids’ upbringing, slowly degenerating society into a feudal hellscape of increasingly maladjusted (mentally ill) future generations.
As for the first three points.
Maybe.
Who cares?
Probably not.
Details matter so let’s start with the problem of tax reporting and Social Security Numbers on multiple W2s. If one company can see from a background check that an individual is already employed at another company, the individual has a few options.
Admit they will resign from their current job when brought on to the new company, but don’t do it. This is like playing for two sports teams at once, except one is in baseball, and the other is in hockey, and neither franchise will ever know because everything is remote anyway.
Create a consulting firm LLC (good for tech specialists) and request to be hired as a contractor billing the company via their LLC. This negates the SSN and allows the employee to provide a Tax ID number instead, while deducting expenditures from income—everything from rent if WFH, to supplies, desks, computers, etc.
Find multiple contractor opportunities for the consulting firm and outsource the work to India or low-fee skilled workers on sites like Upwork or Fivver
The penultimate step for not working at all is to outsource all the work to a single contractor in India or Romania who handles everything, a glorified executive assistant. Their role would be to handle the day-to-day automated email responses which are AI API automated. Any super-specific emails that the AI cannot answer are forwarded to the assistant who replies with the correct answers. If they don’t know, then it’s forwarded on to you and you might have to do some work.
The final step is the most clever but will require someone with giant balls. If done properly it should evade detection for a few years or more. One could conceivably work for five or six companies at once in similar roles without ever attending a single meeting or spending more than a few hours each week managing the actual “worker” who does the job for them.
Find only large companies with excessive overhead and lots of useless middle management positions where employees have never met and are spread out over the globe. Where there is no sense of community and nobody gives a shit about Pablo the Java coder from Lisbon, or Harry the python kid from Coventry. Nobody has ever met. Everyone is a decentralized cog. This is the perfect place to insert yourself as another decentralized cog, except one who Works From Nowhere. A phantom. An apparition. Casper the friendly cog.
Create your own AI video avatar using existing videos in different outfits, some with glasses, some without, some with different hairstyles, and maybe a hat. Offer the machine a lot of real options. Talk for hours so it can draw on a wide range of facial expressions, ticks, and mannerisms until it can match you pretty well.
Match your voice as you did with the AI video generator “avatar” you created. The more data you feed it, the more it learns to match your intonations and style of speaking.
Utilize one of the most accessible (API) LLMs to be prompted by others during meetings if called on by my meeting managers. Program it in Python (It can help you do it) with parameters that are typical for business meeting bullshit speak: a nice mix of general and specific. Make sure it is always positive and encouraging, excited and enthusiastic, but not too much to draw suspicion.
Example: "Good morning, everyone. This week, I've focused on optimizing our database's query efficiency and indexing strategy. This involved reworking complex SQL queries and enhancing indexing to improve data retrieval speeds, especially for our reporting module. I've also addressed data redundancy through database normalization, enhancing performance and data integrity. Next, I'll implement and test these changes in our development environment before deploying them to production. I'll provide a detailed progress report in our next meeting. Feel free to reach out with any questions or suggestions."
If a specific additional question is asked by a manager the LLM will be optimized to answer that the employee is working on it, or will work on it this week, all based on how the question was framed. If uncertain, the LLM will ask how soon the manager wants it done and that they’ll get right on it. The “avatar” is always presumed to be you—the person or contractor they hired.
Everything in the meeting will be recorded, and every transcript memorized by the AI so that it knows what has happened in every weekly meeting since the human “avatar” was hired at that company and the human can query the AI to get up to speed on what’s happening at that particular company where they’ve been hired to work from nowhere.
Artificial Intelligence will be making millions of human jobs redundant soon.
Despite the delusional manifestos of tech billionaires responsible for those Silicon Valley shitshows Facebook and Meta, technology never puts humans first. Shareholder expectancy doesn’t have time to wait for considerations of human well-being, it simply pushes forward in a deterministic fashion with no consideration of human privacy, autonomy, health, or wellness. Humans are forced to keep up or simply get the hell out of the way.
If you question this model of technological determinism, you are labeled a “Luddite” or “communist.”
As soon as AI, robotics, and automation can displace and replace workers in any industry, these industries will not hesitate to kick people out the door.
That door is already halfway open, and soon millions of highly skilled workers will be getting a swift boot to the ass.
Why not use AI to one’s advantage to beat these corporations to the punch? Why not game their systems before they swing their boot?
Why not create worker avatars, Artificial selves at multiple companies to do the jobs that many already-demoralized humans who hate their jobs already do, but do them better?
More importantly, do them from nowhere.
Sooner or later this will be the dream of some crafty, clever, and enterprising individual.
They’ll succeed for years and make millions doing it. They’ll bounce from company to company keeping the ruse up, perhaps creating multiple avatars in the process, of differing genders, perhaps even a non-binary Latinx Lesbiatrix with purple hair to insulate themselves from firing.
They will go down in history as a legend.
And whoever that is, I salute you.

It’s disgusting to work with people who spend more time avoiding work, or their supposed purpose at their place of employment. I was taught and raised to work hard. This was to show accomplishment, appreciation, and value of work. This creates character. This fake work attitude shows an abysmal decline in character. I’ll stick with my hard-earned work ethic and be proud that it was passed down to my sons.
Assuming that you meant for this to be taken at face value, I, for one, will take a hard pass. Morality aside, I take great pleasure in doing actual work. I've spent my life building, designing and remodeling homes. I'm not rich, but the money I have has been earned honestly. I work exclusively with actual humans who appreciate my efforts, and sleep well at night. Dirty hands, clean money.
