4 Dystopian Examples of Remote Work
Weird examples of remote work people have been tweeting about recently…
- Remote mining machine operators
- Cashier at a store in NYC zooming in from the Philippines
- Remote security woman in South America
- Dentist's receptionist on video from the Philippines
Brett Goldstein writes that this feels dystopian…
We're monetizing human interaction by having customers tip workers making the equivalent of $3/hr across the world just for taking an order. It displaces local jobs and feels like outdated labor arbitrage run amok in the digital age.
Taking it further…
Today, this is a Filipino woman behind a screen, controlling a POS system — but it’s not crazy to believe that probably in the next six to twelve months, this could be an AI avatar doing all the same things.

Built a $5 Browser Extension Without Knowing How To Code
📝 From a recent post on Reddit…
I have no coding knowledge but have constantly shipped different products since I was in college. All my ideas usually were not tech focused but focused more on operations, expertise and physical products or services.
Recently… I decided to find a problem to solve and ship something even with my limited expertise.
I listed down all the problems I had and finally decided on one to work on.
Full disclosure, the first 3 failed with hardly any sales.
But with the 4th one, I just got my first sale!
It's a chrome extension that helps you find and navigate to your desired Chrome tab in one click.
The extension is priced at only $5 for lifetime access, so not a huge success story 😕
But it's still impressive, especially considering this person – unclear if male or female – doesn't know how to code.
So how did he/she build the extension? 🤔
I used Gemini Advanced and Replit to make it.
Got all my instructions from Gemini and followed it to the T on Replit.
It was a bit tedious as I had to keep coming back for each change I wanted and uploading the new version to my Chrome to check how it looks.
By the time I was done I had made over 20 versions of my extension.
Gemini = Google’s AI, basically their version of ChatGPT.
Replit = a code editor that works in your browser.
Now for the twist in the story 👇
Redditors were quick to point out that…
Chrome already has this feature built-in. Click the down arrow on the top right corner
So yeah, not much of a future for this project 😢
But that's besides the point.
Along the way, this person has learned…
- how to leverage AI
- how to build Chrome extensions
- persistence
- what it's like to make a sale
That's a lot 💪
And it makes his (or her) future projects way more likely to succeed.
How about trying something like this yourself?
Make a list of all the problems you have and then pick one to work on 🎯
Alternatively, here's a database of 33,000+ Chrome extensions that…
takes the guesswork out of deciding what to build next. See which popular extensions get bad reviews so you can create improved versions.
Find an idea there and use AI to build a solution 🤖
Or, if you have the budget, you could hire someone to build it for you, like Joe Davies did…

AI Made a Theme Song For This Newsletter in 20 Seconds
The latest AI tool that's blowing everyone's mind: Suno AI 🤯
You basically give it a text prompt and it will create a song for you.
I fed it this prompt…
An upbeat song about my twice weekly newsletter, e-Biz Insider, all about online business ideas, insights and opportunities. Great for aspiring online entrepreneurs. In the style of modern hip hop.
It came back in ~20 seconds with this.
Really impressive, though the lyrics are pretty cringe 😬
I refined the prompt and tried again…
Upbeat song about my 2x weekly newsletter, e-Biz Insider, all about online business ideas, insights & opportunities. Great for aspiring online entrepreneurs. Modern hip hop style. Tone down the hype.
Give it a try yourself.
A free account lets you generate 5 songs per day 🤖
Listen to lots more examples here.
Incredible stuff.
My buddy Thomas Sorheim wrote about it 👇
AI is pretty much killing Google. Now Spotify is up…
Imagine what Suno and Sora will do for music and video. Stock images, stock video, stock songs, etc.
Crazy stuff!
Where will this all be in 2-3 years???
So much disruption coming!
(Sora is the AI video generator we featured a few weeks ago.)
This also got me thinking about another feature from the archive…
That guy was writing and selling custom rap songs on Fiverr, and making a good living doing it 💰
I guess those days are quickly coming to an end.
