A gun is a tool too. Now the problem is of course? guns do not kill people. People who use guns do. The crux of the problem to me it seems is. How we use the tool? i am NOT a believer in tge A.I doomsday ala AYN RAND. I think its just HYPE. A.I is built by humans. Humans have an evolutionary motive. A.I does not. A.I does not have Agency. It would "appear" that way but it does not. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," which is known as Clarke's Third Law. I agree A.I is a tool. You just need to practice using it. It can be used for bad or good. I bet criminals are already at it. A model without guardrails. Dark A.I. You can't have the good without the bad.

I do not want to earn a billion dollars. I want to earn a billion minutes to live longer.

I am a one man shop. I am working on this - https://www.onlyev.com/ I have been on my own now for 10 years. I am taking it one day at a time. I learned that time is my important resource as i get older. I am 54 and i just take it day by day. I am only good at sales. Its a simple business. A lotta people are doing it. I live in NYC and its not cheap here.

Nobody buying a Ferrari needs an EV. A Ferrari is a flex, like a $100k Rolex — you’re not buying it to tell time, you’re buying it to signal you got loot. That’s what makes the Luce feel kinda confused.

I am 54 . I have been on my own for the last 12 years. I have learned one hard lesson. Surviving IS SUCCEEDING. Yes yes. The problem for me is i have ADHD + i maybe on the spectrum ( i never got diagnosed)+ dylexia and i can't write for shit. come to think about it im not that smart either. IDK. I have a one man shop online business. I only really have 1 skill . I only know how to sell. I grew up in NYC selling fake rolex watches to german tourist back in the day. I mostly worked in luxury retail on madison ave selling luxury handbags for like $30k a pop. I had a job i could not take direction then i started my own business. I launched in 2018 and then i found out that anyone can copy you at anytime. I had kind of a breakdown in 2024 when everyone started to copy my whole business. I kept going . Kept learning SEO / Google ads / enginerring now with Ai its the best thing that ever happened to me. I learned how to build feaures. I am not rich but i have freedom of time. I LOVE working out during the day. I love waiting for my daughter to get home from school. We have dinner together every single day. We went to mexico and NOTHING changed for me. I was still working making money. for me since i can't work in tech and no tech company will hire me. I only know sales so i think for me i had no choice but to launch a business. I am very happy right now. I hope i don't go out of business. idk if i have any suggestions but if you are not good with sales get good at it. Good luck to all the small players out there. i wish you success. This is a very good article i could never write like OP thank you for sharing. Just adding my 2 cents here.
