One idea I have to help the AI revolution go well is setting up a consulting business to advise individuals and groups on AI-enabled scams, focusing especially on vulnerable populations (i.e., elderly people). AI-enabled scams are becoming more prevalent and effective as the models improve, become cheaper, and more information is available about a person online. Does LW think this is a good idea? Would you personally encourage me to pursue this as a side business? Can you think of a more effective side business for someone lacking technical skills? (LessWrong appears to have removed the “Questions” feature, so posting this as a Quick Take.)
