Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I've heard that there are some options to run AI agents or similar on local and I think you shared them, but I guess coming from MS would be more reliable, right?
Boring Niches, Real Money: How Faceless YouTube Channels Actually Scale”
Most YouTube channels don’t fail because of bad content. They fail because the niche was wrong from day one. This is what a strong automation niche actually looks like: Evergreen topic. Long watch time. Repeat consumption. No personality dependency. History “for sleep” works not because it’s exciting but because it solves a problem at scale People want to learn and relax. The algorithm rewards that behavior. Here’s the rule most creators ignore: If your niche can’t be systemized, outsourced, and monetized beyond views it’s not a business, it’s content creation. The goal isn’t virality. The goal is predictable demand + retention + automation. Question for you: Does your niche meet these standards or are you hoping effort will fix bad strategy?

Apart from the fact that marketing, advertisement and sales are forbidden here, the thing about a youtube channel is content creation: searching a topic you like or you know about and explain aspects of it, one video at a time. Not everything has to be a business and not every business makes you rich. The only ones that get rich with this stories are the scammers that, behind the promise of riches, sell courses and guides on how to do things a certain way.

SCAM ALERT: This person🔥👉 @Neal Michea 👈🔥 is a piece of shit scammer. SCAM ALERT: LOL I got all your screenshots and the proof you fucking piece of shit scammer. This person needs to be reported to Skool, not the admin here. Please look at the screenshot proof below: @Neal Michea 🖕 🖕@Neal Michea, His profile pic is stolen from Instagram. And subscribe to over 100 free Skool communities just to spam and scam. 🖕@Neal Michea He tries to get you to telegram, pretends to send $30k crypto, then says he received an email saying that you have to send him $200 to receive it. 🖕@Neal Michea He/she is very clever and has everything aligned as so-called proof if you're stupid. And he is over a hundred scammers in this community. But he is the most dangerous so far. You will see all the proof in the attachment. His fake profile image is of a real influencer from Instagram. This is he thread just spamming the same BS on all comments. He also goes to the most popular post like mine and then spams it. https://www.skool.com/@peace-peter-5024?g=data-alchemy @Neal Michea 🖕

@Pierre-Henry Isidor So true. I wrote him a few weeks ago volunteering for admin and he gave me no answer. I also sent him a screenshot showing that from 28 post on the first page of the community, more than 20 were scams, clickbait or marketing. He remains silent. Plus the only admin that did something, Lucia, has disappeared. I am also thinking of deleting my account but the classroom content keeps me from doing it, despite I haven't been there for a long while. Don't know what to do. The thing is that he pays $99/month for that. I would take a lot of care for a community I pay this much, but he probably makes loads of money in other businesses so gives no shit for this. It's sad because it was a great community.

@Asieh Harati He has reasons to sound and be angry. We have seen that place fall from a thriving community to a decadent space full of scammers that roam free. He has fought vigorously against scammers and spammers, way better than admins have. My suggestions were simple. Some yes/no ideas that take five minutes to implement. If Dave didn't want mine he could've simply said "no, thank you" and I'd be okay with that. In the end it's his space and his business what is on stake. I appreciate you kindness and good thoughts, but we've got experience here and have our reasons for what we say.
“AI isn’t replacing data analysts — it’s turning everyone into one.”
A few years ago, “data literacy” meant knowing SQL, dashboards, and how to read a report. Today, AI changed that completely. Now, anyone who can ask the right question can extract insights that once needed a full data team. But here’s the paradox — AI gives everyone access to insights, which means data itself is no longer the advantage. The advantage is now in how you interpret and apply what AI gives you. The winners won’t be those with the biggest datasets — but those with the sharpest sense of what to ask, test, and act on. AI democratized data. But human intuition still decides what matters. The new data alchemist is part analyst, part strategist, part storyteller.

I don't agree in the fact that AI is turning everyone into a data analyst and that phrase ("anyone who can ask the right question can extract insights that once needed a full data team") of yours proves my point. The relative clause after 'anyone' is important. People that know how to ask questions and what questions to ask are the ones that can pretend to be data analysts. If you have a bunch of data and don't know how to wrangle and arrange it, AI won't help. Or won't be as useful as it can be when you have the knowledge and skills of a true data analyst. A Colab Notebook and some help from Gemini may produce a cool output with lots of fancy graphics and such, but if you don't know what the figures are saying you're off and a couple of questions from a customer or your boss can reveal the trick. Whatever task you are in, if you don't know what you are doing but you use some shortcuts or cheats, the true will surface sooner than later. Be honest. Not knowing things is still acceptable in the AI era.
“Insight isn’t found — it’s designed.”
People talk about “finding insights” in their data as if it’s a treasure hunt. But real insight doesn’t just appear — it’s engineered. Every valuable data insight starts with a great question. - What are we really trying to understand? - What variable actually drives this outcome? - What pattern matters, and what’s noise? AI helps us see faster, but not think better — that’s still on us. The best data teams don’t wait for magic moments. They build systems that generate insight consistently. In the end, insight isn’t luck. It’s design, iteration, and interpretation — the real alchemy of intelligence.

I like how your posts reflect some truths about data analysis that to me are obvious but for what you share it is not. This Summer I was trying to get insights from a wide table of data and despite I could do some great graphs and extract some conclusions, I was lost. And it wasn't until I asked myself what I was looking for that all started to make sense. It's true that I fed the raw data and the questions I was trying to answer to an AI chatbot and asked a few questions, but it didn't tell me what to do but how to look for meaningful ways of working with the data. If you don't know where are you going, any path is a desert crossing.
