    I did it years ago when I was a teenager with no real job. There were a bunch of higher-paying jobs like lecture transcription that would be a few bucks each. I made enough to buy a GPU off Amazon (~$80, some of which was from a leftover gift card).

    Now I’m sure that ML-AI can do those jobs much faster and cheaper, for about the same accuracy.
