What's like the most minimally scoped business someone could operate entirely digitally though? Is it the drop ship crap? Or maybe like a web game w/ ad revenue?

Webgame with ad rev might work -- I was thinking some kind of churned out self-publishing of children's books? Though I'm not sure if you'd actually turn a profit. Whatever it was, it'd definitely have to be heavily engineered though -- custom tools, and basically a glorified flow chart.
Okay so yeah this interests me because it seems so plausible that the right set of of LMs w/ custom tools surely could turn a profit on self-publishing of children's e-books.

Like how could that NOT be the case?

I feel like any sufficiently variable sparse business w/ minimal tool call needs it'd have to be the case that you can turn on a model and get something going.

t-shirt drop ship, children e-books, webgame ad-rev, something of this sort
