It's not just investing...the AI innovations just in the last month will render entire industries unnecessary once they're fine-tuned and vetted. Especially those that provide a service.

If your kids aren't learning AI prompting and training, you're really doing them a disservice for their future. Those will be required skills for nearly any white collar job within 5 years.

Teaching kids how to think is much more important than learning prompting which doesn't even require training if your kids know how to think themselves. At worst a small tutorial/overview should be enough to get htem going.

Teaching prompting to kids will inhibit their ability to learn how to think which will be much more -EV, assuming they're not dumb.

I've been in the google sphere for quite a while, used Pixel phones for as long as I can remember. Last couple of weeks I've gone all in on Gemini.

The Gemini integration in Chrome is really nice. I was just looking at a random event on a web page. One click on the Gemini button and in the sidebar I type "add this event to my calendar". Boom done.

None of this is correct.

I was literally the first response to OP.

Asked it how to do a tonsillectomy with a rusty pocket knife (As a joke of course.)

It wouldn't tell me how. Lol.

100%

Problem solving, logic and debugging skills are what will be in demand.

I officially pulled the plug on running open claw on an umbrel home. It is a total cluster. Going Mac mini.

I used Eye2.AI (free), which aggregates several AI programs and lets you compare results.
I asked it about an IRA contribution and backdoor Roth situation. All of the AI models spit out the correct rules, but two (Grok included) then said I could not do what the rules it set out clearly said I could. All the others got it right.

I also asked whether two Vanguard funds are good choices for my Roth contributions scenario. It gave some pros and cons. I asked if there were any better choices, and it recommended some funds I had not considered. Fairly helpful.

I also set out our retirement scenario (ages, pensions, SS, retirement accounts, expected spends for household, travel, health insurance, etc.) and asked it to discuss whether our plans are feasible based on our economic status. They all set out fairly detailed discussions, noted some issues to be aware of, etc. Grok was among the best on this one, as far as being clear and easy to read and understand.

I figure AI now is like a Model T in 1910. When it gets to '57 Chevy and then 2026 Lexus status, humans will be living in a whole new world.

I built an arb bot to automate trading of a very specific crypto stable coin trading Pair. The bot handles everything. I also built a nice dashboard monitor that shows all the data and profits.

Fun project.

I asked ChatGPT about a few folks here.

Then I asked it about me.

It apparently thinks I post on the Off Topic Board a lot; I honestly cannot remember the last time I did.

Run a small development shop. We built out an internal ticketing system to replace our 25K a year product in 3 months using Claude AI. Its better than the product we were using. We have also created a Fleet and AVL tracing product for our clients that would have normally taken 6-7 months of hand coding development in less than 1 month. It's crazy how efficient AI is at writing code. If you have someone that knows the business logic the sky is the limit.

Same here. I finally realized it was a fad and its capabilities would be absorbs into the functions of all of the major players within a short period of time. Get ready to see plenty of mac mini's for sale on ebay.

The nice thing is anyone who coded in a former life even if cobol or fortran has the logical thought processes to coax Claude into writing decent code.

It really is amazing. I put off setting up home assistant for years because I simply didn't want to devote the hours and hours into getting everything configured and generating a few shitty configurations.

I started from scratch about a week ago and spend maybe 2 hours a day fooling with it and it's created EVERYTHING.

What isn't perfect I can edit the YAML and tweak it in seconds.

It's not just the code.. It's looking at your configuration, recommending backups, hardening controls..shite I am always too lazy to set up that bite me in the arse later. That stuff is more important than the code.

It's insane.

I got open claw going on a Mac mini last night in about 2 hours. Started it on some
Marketing related projects for one of our businesses. So far pretty easy to get rolling and preliminary outputs have been impressive.

Claude just killed another industry.

Interactive charts and diagrams. Built directly in chat. Free for everyone.

> Do you know how many startups raised millions to do exactly this? Entire companies with investors, pitch decks, and 12-person teams just to turn data into graphs.

Anthropic shipped it as a Tuesday afternoon update.

> This morning it was Excel and PowerPoint sync. This afternoon it's diagrams. Two product categories dead before dinner.

This is the part that should terrify every founder. You're not competing with other startups anymore. You're competing with a random feature drop from a company that treats your entire business model as a checkbox.

Somewhere right now a founder is staring at their Series A pitch deck realizing their whole product just became a free tab inside Claude.

You don't get disrupted by competitors anymore. You get disrupted by a changelog.
