I've changed domain few times(Physics tutor to Yoga therapist and then coming to data science, developing product/team lead). Currently I'm focussing on multiple freelancing. I was able to do it through networking, find opportunities.

It's doable but you need to go through unconventional ways of searching opportunities. With AI, market is changing and people who know multiple things are welcome but at the same time, a lot of companies focus on hiring expert in one domain. If you love it, you will surely find opportunities. Stay positive.

Those who can do something about it, they won't do anything as it's a power/money game for them. Those who care about it, they can barely do anything.

So, just prepare by saving money, investing and upskilling just to keep your brain sharp to figure it out when that future hits all of us.

Agree, even if AI does most of the things, we can't stop learning, otherwise our mind will become totally dependant on machines even for processing.

I'm using locally so that I can test it for my project without paying per token(if I use it from hugging face). I exhausted free limit in just 5-7 hrs of testing when I used hugging face api.

I think the moment you begin building, start talking about it, for example in X spaces, linkedin or on insta reels if you can make content. That's how i got users in my first project. It will also give you firsthand idea what features you need to build.

I understand and I agree with the side effects of too much AI use but this is inevitable. I think it's better to balance, use AI for work and at the same time, keep learning, maintain habit of writing logic to protect your brain.

For me: Primary level, Ancient eastern wisdom(Hinduism, Buddhism, Yogic texts) to attain calmness during storm/failures. Then on secondary level, modern tech people like steve jobs, engineers who build open source etc.

Wow, I was actually thinking of trying freelance on these platforms. After seeing your experience, I don't feel motivated. I 've heard people getting gigs through X by reaching out to people, through networking. I've not tried this myself but I know few who even make reels on tiktok and clients reached out to them.

Personally I'm not much of a content creator but I've been on X enough to see it's potential. The only challenge is to be consistent there. I'm thinking of getting back there and make a flow to network because I want to work on freelance projects as I'm not interested in a full time job.

I think the worse thing is, it has become purely AI slop and posts are mostly low quality.

Interesting experiment. My favorite is the dream one. Can you share more about datasets you got to train on for this?

Thanks for your insights. Can you share more about your experience in self hosting the model inference to reduce cost or make it even zero if possible ?

I agree. Luckily I learnt coding during covid before AI and I experienced how to debug/build through google, stackoverflow etc. Those who are just starting and using AI for everything, they don't know what's called real brainstorming unless AI fails to debug or give expected results.

Yeah, I agree. Unless it's just AI assisted, then reviewing makes sense.
