Is a college degree worthwhile in 2024?

June 12, 2024

Yes, a college education is still worthwhile for the vast majority of humans, but keep in mind that not all college degrees are created equally and that AI will change everything. Advances in generative AI will render obsolete many degrees and professions in the near future. Unlike the Industrial Revolution, which displaced slaves and other hard laborers, the AI revolution will displace knowledge workers. 

Some "cool" and high-paying jobs of today like software engineering will most likely be dominated by AI relatively soon. Interestingly, the trades requiring lots of knowledge and art will be the ones overtaken by the upcoming iterations AI. Don't think about what ChatGPT-4 can do. Think about what the 8th generation, the 16th generation, and so forth will be able to do. The AI revolution is just beginning folks; just beginning. 

Traditional professions protected by licensing requirements (e.g. medicine, nursing, law, civil engineering, architecture, etc.) will fare better in the next few decades due to the legal protections in place. Human licensed practitioners will keep their service monopolies and broker the services powered by smarter AI bots. The human licensed professionals will essentially become brokers and liaisons or intermediaries between consumers and AI providers.

Non-licensed intellectual professions and artistic trades will be up for grabs by AI. This includes displacement of humans in high paying jobs of today like software engineering and in low-paying information jobs like data customer support in call centers. AI bots will be smarter than humans. No single human will be able to compete, not even get close, to the performance of AI bots. 

Within the next three decades, AI bots will dominate many fields that are now reserved for the smartest human beings. The best bet and economical survival strategy for clever humans is to become AI entrepreneurs, AI investors, AI trainers, AI producers, etc. Goal should be to become an "AIpreneur", or at least think like one. 

AI bots will be the new workers or "slaves" producing quality intellectual property products and services at a fraction of the comparative cost of human labor and production. This means that almost anyone can become a producer and an entrepreneur with access to cheap labor and production resources. Anyone will be able to become an AI slave master within the next years. 

Going back to the college degrees, who really needs to go to college when a smartphone will be smarter than all college professors combined? Take Apple as an example. Beginning this fall 2024, Apple will integrate ChatGPT-4 into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. Apple users will have access to AI-powered writing, drawing, and video producing tools. Apple Intelligence will allow users to produce professional communications in all media, across all apps, and across all platforms. 

Siri will "marry" ChatGPT and together the couple should become a power couple providing superior AI assistance to Apple users. Under the new Apple Intelligence protocol, Siri will be able to understand context and by keeping track of your information on the Apple ecosystem will help you complete tasks. For example, need your passport number while booking a flight? Siri can find the passport number on your device to help fill it out the form. Siri will be able to operate across apps, so after you ask Siri to enhance a photo, you can ask it to send it as a text message to your mom, and to create a note about it. Siri will bring enhanced language and context recognition to become a true personal assistant once it gets "married" to ChatGPT this Fall.

Apple is trying to catch up to Google and Samsung, which are already ahead integrating AI in their smartphones. All other competitors in the marketplace, including the clever Chinese ones, will also offer AI assistance to their customers. It's a brave new world. A new AI world. Rethink everything, including the value of your college education. Keep moving. Keep learning. Don't miss out.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...
