The facts that (a) an AI somewhere could in principle do this task better, and (b) this task is no longer an economically rewarded element of a global economy, don’t seem to me to matter very much.
In the new year, I’m going to more deliberately build an investment portfolio of collectibles with the idea of generating a meaningful return on those assets by year end. I’ll start with a $1,500 budget and work upwards as I purchase and sell items accordingly. Will intermittently post updates on how it’s going here.
