🧠 Core Insight
Everyone’s trying to ride the bubble up.
You’ll ride the collapse down.
While quietly positioning for the next frontier.
💼 The Business Model:
→ High-Trust AI Disillusionment Content + Niche Arbitrage Funnels
You’re going to:
- Build a media footprint as “the guy who called the AI collapse”
- Sell profitable alternatives (AI inference infra, edtech, biopharma tools)
- Affiliate shill surviving AI tools or chips
- Flip traffic via Parasite SEO + niche newsletters
- Snipe talent, products, or domains from collapsed hype brands
⚙️ Your Side Hustle Engine
1. Brand Yourself as the Realist in a Delusional Market
- Write X threads like:
- “OpenAI Just Became AOL”
- “Why The Claude vs GPT War Will End in Tears”
- “3 AI Startups That Will Die This Quarter (and What They Missed)”
- Turn these into:
- Parasite SEO articles (“GPT4 Killer? Here’s Why It Doesn’t Matter”)
- YouTube shorts/TikTok rants with punchy captions like:
“The AI Tools You're Still Paying For? Pointless.” - Medium/Substack newsletters with domains like
bubblewatch.techorpost-LLM.com
🧠 Tone: Anti-hype. Calm. Dissecting. Sound like the guy who saw this in crypto.
2. Funnel into Surviving Products
Position surviving AI apps and frontier sectors as “anti-bubble” plays.
Affiliate angles you can ride:
- 🔬 AI + Biotech:
- Jasper is dead, but BenchSci lives.
- Affiliate push: “AI that finds drugs, not tweets.”
- 📚 AI + EdTech:
- 🧠 Local AI Inference Hardware:
- Sell affiliate links to
tinybox.ai,groq, or even refurbished GPUs on marketplaces - Push “cheap inference at home” movement
- Sell affiliate links to
3. Monetize Layoffs + Panic Talent
From the LLM collapse, there will be:
- Great engineers laid off
- Great domains dropped
- Great abandoned content (ghost Twitter threads, dead YouTubes)
Your play:
- Build an AI Exit Jobs Board — “Escape the Hype Cycle”
- Monetize with resume software affiliate
- Monetize with recruiter partnerships
- Scrape and squat expiring domains (like
smartgptlabs.com, etc) - Reach out to laid-off founders → offer to buy their email lists or brands on the cheap
4. Niche Parasite SEO Stack: Post-LLM Edition
Create hyper-specific parasite posts:
- “Claude vs GPT5: Why It’s All Noise” → Medium
- “Top 5 AI Tools That Still Matter (2026)” → Google Sites + Substack
- “Best AI Teaching Tools [2025 Collapse Edition]” → Notion page
- “Where To Work After Anthropic Fires You” → Reddit + SEO redirect + cloaked affiliate
Monetize via:
- Resume SaaS
- New chip startups
- Token-gated “Bubble Vulture Watchlist” newsletter ($)
- Paid job board for AI refugees
5. Snipe the Next Frontier
Once the noise clears, you’ll own the distribution.
Target:
- Bio-AI
- Teaching agents
- Infra tools (LLMOps, local inference)
- Edge compute chips
You’ll be early because you:
- Already built the audience of disillusioned AI pros
- Already own the SEO keywords
- Already control the panic narrative

👹 Bonus Degenerate Tactics
- Sell LLM obituary t-shirts via POD (e.g. “RIP Jasper 2020–2024”)
- Launch an AI graveyard site like
deadprompt.tools→ plug affiliate tools that still work - Run Reddit campaigns in ex-AI tool subreddits shilling “cheap Claude alternatives” via affiliate links

- “openai dying?”
- “what to do after ai layoff”
- “jasper ai refund trick”
Final Thought:
Everyone’s building hype stacks.
You’re building the collapse stack.
And when the masses pivot, your distribution will already be there, waiting — with the affiliate links locked in, the traffic indexed, and the new frontier scoped.
You don’t have to be early to the party.
Just early to the funeral.
