I've been thinking about what the likely "minimal self-employable system" might look like and it struck me yesterday that it's very likely going to be something like a NSFW roleplay chatbot.
(Though maybe that's a filter bubble issue, and I'm targeted because "the algorithm" knows my interests in AI.)
Would be ironic if what finally got us was a self-employed entrepreneurial NSFW chatbot. Who'd suspect that it's really just making money and learning to manipulate people, eventually getting some of them to mix a bunch of vials they unexpectedly got delivered by mail from random protein sequencing labs...
