"Missing Persons Return, Hahaha"

It's been a while since I wrote an article, so I'll just chat casually.

Next month will mark one year in Thailand, and my visa is about to expire. However, I should consider staying a bit longer until I have new arrangements. After all, moving is quite a hassle, especially internationally, and I have a cat to think about.

Many friends have been asking me how I make money. I tell them I’m not making any, mainly relying on some savings from before. But there will come a day when I run out of money, especially after the new administration took office this year, which wiped out my investments. This gives me a chance to think about what to do next.

A couple of days ago, I was chatting with a friend, and he suggested I quickly send out resumes to look for a job. I told him that recruiters are asking for my highest degree, and with the current job market being so competitive in China, I had anticipated this last year. I just overestimated my own learning ability; last year I mostly took it easy, and my English only reached a conversational level, which is far from meeting job requirements.

In the past few months, I started playing with AI and created some small projects, but they were just for fun. I’ve also dabbled in developing bots to monitor the cryptocurrency market, but when the market cooled down, those projects became less useful.

Two weeks ago, I saw that OpenAI released the image generation API, gpt-image-1, and I got a new idea: why not create a set of stickers for myself? After I launched it on Line, a friend asked me to make a set for him too, so I created a website using AI.

However, the website hasn’t gone live in China yet. Friends who are interested can message me for the address and redemption code.

In the future, I will periodically resume updating articles on my public account. Let’s set a small goal: at least one article per month.
