I found out pretty quick that they want a yes man who always says yes to their superiors ideas and makes their superior look like a hero at every opportunity. There is literally no other secret to working in a corporate.
You're better off telling people to feel solidarity with their fellow workers, collectively organize, and collectively bargain through unions.
That is something more easily done.
They're alive but I wouldn't call it a life worth living, more like subsisting. If they didn't know me they would likely be homeless but since I can help with a few bills they aren't losing their home and can get 3 meals a day.
How can this person start a company with AI? Honestly. Your suggestion is devoid from reality for tens of millions of people. It feels like a troll because it's devoid of any empathy.
Starting a company using AI still requires significant innovative skills, and is not even for the random 20 or 30 or 40 year old. It requires offering a competitive service or product that no one else offers. AI is never a substitute for putting your brain and body to work in clever ways that others don't.
The only troll here is you for letting working age people rot in jobs that they will bring them to their knees in their retirement age.
20% of people in the "retirement age" still work dude.
If you also read my comments, this person isn't actually working and they have zero savings and while they get social security and medicare they still need to pay a mortgage, insurance, utility bills, and food. They want to work but can't.
According to you they should simply start a business with AI, what business who the fuck knows but apparently AI is enough to make him whole.
If the idea of his age bothers you, it wouldn't really be different if he was 55 or 45 or 35.
The issue I take with your comment is you don't really know what struggle is or how people live below the federal poverty line. Telling them to simply create jobs is akin to "let them eat cake."
A baffling statement made with no compassion.
If the person has no savings, they should be pressing the local government, social services, and local politicians for more assistance. They might get lucky.
I have compassion which is exactly why I ask deserving people to take the route away from wage slavery toward doing something where they feel a greater sense of freedom and autonomy.
is it for anyone? I don't know even one business that was started 'using AI'.
do you know any that actually make money?
You are not on to some “secret” here, all who participate in corporate work know it’s ridiculous. Seriously, open up a bit, and get to know some of these “terrible bosses” outside of work— they will shit talk with you like anyone else.
This falls apart around the VP layer, as from there up it’s actually insane people living in a different wealth reality than ours.

I can't remember the exact quote but his suggestion was that everyone needed a "sponsor" or patron above them and that patrons chose people who would otherwise not be successful. This way the patron had a number of junior protogees who owed them everything. When your patron rose up you would rise up.
I noticed this in at least one company that got into trouble eventually.
In others the yes man culture is very potent. Where I am now nothing is that bad.
There are companies and bosses that know how to value employees contributions. I have heard it referred to as herding cats.
There are situations that are not good. Sometimes it is intentional when they have decided they want someone out. Sometimes the boss as you say only wants as yes man. Sometimes there are good intentions and without the needed skill.
I've made progress in my career being a suck up. I never contradict my superiors. Even the stuff i come up with i make it look like it was originally their "vision" that led to it. I always convince someone above to put their name as primary author on my proposals at work. This extremely simple "trick" has always led to me getting more money and promotions at work.
Its not a joke.
