40% of Workers Are Drowning in AI “Workslop” — and It’s Costing $9M a Year

A new Stanford + BetterUp study shows 40% of employees got hit with “workslop” last month — AI-generated filler that looks polished but wastes hours. On average, workers lose nearly 2 hours cleaning it up, which adds up to a $9M annual productivity drain for a 10,000-person company. Meanwhile, AI adoption has doubled since 2023, but 95% of organizations admit they’re seeing zero ROI. Translation: companies are spending big on AI, but their teams have no idea how to actually use it.

That gap is the opportunity. You don’t need to be McKinsey to profit from this — you can create lightweight, high-value products teaching the basics of “AI done right.” Think online courses on workflow design, playbooks for AI quality control, or team training packs companies can roll out themselves. With demand this high, even small creators can land corporate buyers or bundle courses for B2B marketplaces.

Here’s what that means for you:

• $9M pain point = demand is proven. Enterprises are bleeding money from sloppy AI use.

• Zero ROI epidemic = companies are desperate for fixes they can implement fast.

• Creators win first = online courses, playbooks, and workshops are low-lift but highly sellable to teams that need immediate help.

Key Takeaways:

• Training goldmine: Corporate AI adoption is broken, but creators can package the fixes.

• Practical > complex: Simple frameworks on “AI augmentation vs. copy-paste” beat advanced coding courses.

• First-mover edge: Early courses and toolkits will command premium pricing before the market floods.

Most detergents leave behind toxic residue that clings to your clothes and soaks into your skin, even after rinsing. Some of these chemicals even become airborne during wash and dry cycles so you're not just wearing them, you're breathing them. Here’s what smart families are switching to instead.

From Research to Revenue: AI’s Resource Hub Blueprint

Goal:
Build and promote a curated directory of tools/guides for a niche you love—then monetize via affiliate links, sponsorships, or a paid premium version.

Steps:

1. Pick Your Niche & Angle
   Choose a niche you already know (fitness, productivity, design, parenting, crypto).
   ➡️ Next action: Jot 3–5 subtopics you can confidently curate this week.

2. Collect Sources with ChatGPT/Claude
   Prompt ChatGPT: Role: Research Assistant. Task: Gather the 25 best free and paid resources for [NICHE]. Context: Include link, one-line description, price (if paid), and why it’s useful for beginners. Avoid duplicates, hypey sales pages, and outdated links. Output: A clean bulleted list.
   ➡️ Next action: Paste your list into a doc for editing.

3. Reformat Each Resource into Cards
   Prompt ChatGPT:
   Role: Content Editor & Formatter.
   Task: Convert the items below into uniform “resource cards.”
   Context: Each card must include Name, Link, Summary (2–3 sentences in plain English), Best Use Case (who/when it’s best for), Price (Free / Freemium / Paid + $), Category (e.g., Research, Writing, Design, Analytics), and Notes (caveats, standout features, quick tips).
   Output: Plain text cards formatted cleanly for copy-paste into Notion or Canva.
   ➡️ Next action: Approve/polish 10–15 starter cards and paste directly into Notion or Canva.

4. Build Your Hub in Notion
   Prompt Notion AI: Create a Notion database for a [NICHE] Resource Hub with properties: Name, URL, Summary, Best Use Case, Price, Category, Affiliate Link, Affiliate URL, Priority, Last Checked, Notes. Then convert the resource cards into rows and suggest initial categories. Add two views: Gallery (card preview: Summary) and Table (compact).
   ➡️ Next action: Paste your approved cards; let Notion AI populate rows. Turn on Share → Publish.

5. Monetize with Affiliates
   Replace standard links with affiliate versions where relevant. Mark Affiliate Link? = Yes and store the affiliate URL.
   ➡️ Next action: Join 2–3 relevant programs (Amazon/PartnerStack/tool-specific) and swap links.

6. Promote Your Hub

   Post a 5–7 item thread on X/LinkedIn with a CTA: “Full directory → [link]”

   Share value-first posts in Reddit/Discord communities (3 tools + your full hub)

   List a $0–$5 “Starter Pack” on Gumroad/Koji pointing to your full hub
   ➡️ Next action: Publish one promo thread today; pin it.

Pro Tip (Optional Upgrade):
Use Softr to turn your Notion database into a polished public portal with search, filters, and gated pages—no code, fast.
➡️ Click here to test it out

Why it works:
This workflow cuts the chaos by letting ChatGPT handle research and formatting while Notion organizes everything into a clean, shareable hub. You end up with a polished directory that looks professional, can be monetized with affiliate links, and serves as a repeatable playbook any creator can run.

OpenAI + NVIDIA Join Forces on a $100B AI Superpower

OpenAI and NVIDIA just announced one of the biggest moves in AI history: a strategic partnership to build 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA-powered datacenters. That’s millions of GPUs dedicated to training and running OpenAI’s next-generation models, with the first wave going live in 2026 on NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. To put it in perspective, NVIDIA plans to invest up to $100 billion into OpenAI as each gigawatt comes online. This isn’t just about bigger models — it’s about laying the compute foundation for the future economy.

Key Takeaways:

• OpenAI and NVIDIA are committing to 10 GW of AI datacenters, starting 2026.

• NVIDIA will invest up to $100B as deployments scale.

• This partnership cements NVIDIA as OpenAI’s preferred compute + networking partner, shaping the roadmap for superintelligence.

My Take:
This is a jaw-dropping milestone. Ten gigawatts is power-plant scale — dedicated solely to AI. NVIDIA and OpenAI aren’t just building datacenters; they’re building the backbone of the next industrial revolution. It’s hard to overstate how big this is for the future of AI and, frankly, for humanity.
