One option is to start a small business to provide a product or service. It is permissionless so it won't matter if you have a degree or not. You can also leverage resources such as capital and human talent later so that you don't need to worry too much about being smarter than average. Most rich people or business owner aren't smarter than average. You do need to be relentlessly resourceful though as written by PG.

Alternatively, it is never too late a go back to school and get a degree. Bootcamps may also work. Try to build (open source projects) or generate content (like teaching people to code in youtube)

another reason to think that survey is useless as how you design your questions will affect the prompted answers from real people similar to the prompted answers from LLM.

It is very true. Most of us who are not designers just want a very good looking default style. We can change if we want to later. It is a pain that react doesn't come with default style.

I think the better way is to come out with a lot of interesting real world scenarios that require calculus or other math. Math doesn't get created out of a vacuum. It was created for a reason. I think if we can avoid diving into abstractions too quickly and focus on specific real world problems and lead the kids step by step to the solutions , that would be more interesting.

they produce papers that contain (sometimes) useful ideas. They don't produce code (other than proof of concept) and they certainly can't afford to train a large model

Another alternative is to reach out to small NGOs and ask what you can do for them to help them digitalize their process. You would likely build something boring like a CRUD app for them but if it solves their pain points, it is worth your time.

This is a good thing , yes? The last thing I want is for social networks to be like fashion that you need to use a new social network every 6 months

Well, this question is similar to foreigners cannot understand how any Americans can support racist/sexist/amoral Trump. For Putin’s supporters , his is the only person who can make Russia great

Perhaps try to register as a non profit organization and apply for institutional grants from foundations.

If you want to run it as a viable business, farming as other people mentioned has potential for disruption. But it might be a bit ahead of its time and more risky.

Another area that companies will pay big money for is manufacturing process automation.

I feel like these no-code companies are a bit ahead of their time and focusing on the wrong audience. Instead of focusing on end user/business user, they should focus on developers. Please create tools (code or not) that make it really easy and fast to create CRUD apps for developers. There hasn't been good ones available. Empower developers first. Last time I check, no business user would want to create an app no matter how easy it is.
