I was so confused last time I traveled as I watched this brown skinned family getting shaken down for ID by TSA and they literally just waived me past and said didn't need ID. Mind you I've never not been asked to show ID to TSA before this.
Curious about the downvotes here, it's 100% relevant to the conversation and is personal experience. I imagine it's tone policing to ensure we don't criticize the techo-facist edgelord take over?
Wait for the API costs or open-source models to be cheap enough and we'll get there. I mean it's a guaranteed HN frontpage (and currently also a guaranteed epic credit card bill).
This is going to increasingly be a problem for many people.
For me, getting a Skoolie and subletting my apt in NYC gave me a great foundation
1. I was able to sublet my furnished place in nyc for $1k more than rent and make money while traveling.
2. I was able to work remote visiting clients and spending time in nature.
3. It provided a certain kind of daily challenge that was great for me.
4. The adventure was incredible and I fell in love with the road. I thought I’d spend a month or three cruising around but it ended up about over 3 years.
5. I followed my heart and the weather to hot springs Arkansas to watch the total eclipse and met a woman who I just got engaged to (while in Antarctica at an AI conference).
6. My business has been the best it’s ever been and put me into a top 1% income.
I wasn’t broke when I started but it was amazing to have a sense that even if I was I could buy a big bag of beans and rice, head to a gorgeous piece of free federal BLM land, run my laptop on solar and use my cell WiFi to figure it out.
Beyond that, figure out what problem you want to solve for the world and go find people working on that problem and help them.
