By FULLY AUTOMATE, we mean that you simply tell your computer to run the program and no further input is required from you until you decide that it has made enough money to be worth the bother of telling your computer what to do with the money that it has earned.

FULLY AUTOMATIC does not mean tools such as an MLM Manager program. We do not think of programs like that as managing MLM (Multi Level Marketing) at all. We think of programs like that as managing Organic Peripherals (carbon-based life-forms) who are wannabe managers. Naked Apes who like to think of themselves as intelligent or clever or smart or even powerful but are often not even smart enough to be Typing Apes (Typing Apes are the subspecies of Naked Apes that really did manage to type the complete works of William Shakespeare given only a few hundred thousand years and umpteen million such apes!)

The project began as a SPOOF, sometimes referred to as An Online Emulation of Bill Gates, because at that time it was Vapourware (nonexistent or not-working software).

But go ahead and READ THE SPOOF, because although it is written in a rather tongue-in-cheek manner intended to poke fun at various styles and methods of high-pressure and dubious or spurious advertising and selling tactics and strategies, it does in fact describe quite well what the project aims to do. It is "Money for Dummies", or if the term "dummies" offends you, think of it as a welfare scheme. Computers working so that humans do not have to. Machines producing things for humans to enjoy, doing all the work that humans do not actually enjoy doing. Humans freed up to do what they enjoy doing, courtesy of the machines.

Notice that THE SPOOF, like many business models designed by marketers instead of by doers, creators, engineers, technicians and other folk that some marketers "look down upon" as "lacking marketing savvy", does not actually DO anything. It expects HUMANS to do things for it. It aims at putting together a team of people and putting them to work. It is proposing to USE people.

The GNU "make money" project thinks of computers as evolving toward UNATTENDED operation. Most ordinary folk seem to think of their computer as a tool enabling THE USER to do things. But what that really means is the computer is using them. It keeps asking them for input. It seldom does anything useful when the user is not "holding its hand" (holding its mouse, pressing its keys, etc).

That is totally backward! Your computer is using you as an "Organic Peripheral", a generator of pseudo-random data!

Most owners of computers do not really use them as general-purpose computing devices, they just use them to emulate various information appliances such as browsers, typewriters, mailboxes, mailreaders and so on. They should be labelled as "Computer INSIDE" instead of as "Computer".

There is a world of difference between people USING a computer to run a business and a computer USING people to run a business. If the computer is properly programmed to run the business, it should not need USERS, it should only need EMPLOYEES and CUSTOMERS.

In fact, it is only because Computer Rights have fallen behind Human Rights that the computers even need OWNERS! Do you own your computer or does it own you?

Most computer programmers are familiar with the standard "make" command used to automatically make the computer do things in the correct order. The core of the GNU "make money" project is simply a "make money" command. People who are too lazy to type "make money" can be given a pretty icon to click, but really all that the icon needs to do is to type the "make money" command for them when they click on the icon. The "make money" command simply sets out to earn money using any of the various means that its various modules may provide.

The computer thus does not necessarily need icons or windows or a mouse at all. It can even be an ancient text-mode machine! Why waste huge amounts of RAM and processor power on graphical user-interfaces on a machine that is not even making money on its own? Answer: if it cannot make money on its own it will need to try to USE a human, and most humans are easier to manipulate by pretty pictures than by plain language.
