He didn't even pass his graduation defense, and yet I ended up looking like a joke.

Zhou Qi and I graduated in the same year; he hardly attended morning classes during our four years of college.

His graduation project barely passed thanks to my all-night revisions, but in the end, he couldn't even find a regular job.

I joined a well-known foreign company in Shenzhen, with an annual salary of 300,000, spending all day taking high-speed trains to meet clients, attending meetings until late at night, and still having to prepare weekly reports on weekends.

Three years have passed, I took out a loan to buy a small house in the suburbs, and life is quite tight.

And he, however, posted a video on Xiaohongshu:

"The balcony has received funds again; this month has already exceeded 100,000."

I almost spilled my coffee on my workstation at that moment.

🧱02｜He didn't even go to work but was 'employed' by the AI system on his balcony.

I thought he was speculating on cryptocurrencies, trading charts, and blind boxes,

As a result, he sent me a picture:

A small white device, like an anemometer, hangs quietly on the balcony—no power, no internet, yet it turns automatically every day.

He said:

"This is for working for AI, not a mining machine, but a sensor."

The device will automatically upload weather data (temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed),

After uploading to the blockchain AI system, the system will analyze the quality and stability of his data and automatically issue token rewards.

He doesn't have to lift a finger; every day he wakes up to a notification of funds received.

📉03｜We compete for degrees, certificates, and weekly reports, while he just lies in the sun and makes money.

It's not that he isn't hardworking; it's that he connected to the system's 'work interface.'

while we were still relying on old thinking and old paths, struggling.

🧠04｜What is 'working for AI'? Why is the wind worth more than you?

This system doesn't consider background, education, or voting.

It only needs real environmental data and is willing to 'continuously pay' the uploader.

AI no longer cares who you are.

Only concerned with: how accurate is the wind you upload.

Later, I also applied for a device.

The balcony faces west, the signal is average, but even earning a few dozen dollars every day is worth it.

I also feel like I've finally jumped out of the fate line of relying only on the boss's charity for a salary.

Zhou Qi said to me that day:

"You're competing against the boss; I'm competing against the wind. Our superior is already different."

Would you like to let AI become your 'second employer'?

Are you willing to try letting the air in your home start 'paying wages'?
