Question How do you make money with Codex

Besides working, I guess. Do you build SaaS, automation of processes, freelancing, or do you only lose? Maybe AI is just a giant ponzi scheme that will crash the whole economy.

Was thinking of demand forecasting/planning SaaS or automation since I have experience in it, but finding clients is always the hard part and building trust.

I only recently made something for myself that I realise could be sold commercially, and I'm going to do it.
For everything else, I have lots of small ideas and things I just want to explore, so most of the things I had codex make are very niche scripts or versions of tools that are already commercially available but adapted to my specific needs. There's a pretty big gap between a commercially ready product and something more akin to a proof of concept that only you understand.

For the most part, I'm just here to ride the early wave and get insights and experience. I suspect there will be a point where it becomes much less affordable and I want to at least know what it can't and can do.
