    From a developer's standpoint, this is a stark reminder of the absolute clusterfuck that is the javascript development stack. This kind of thing happens, maybe not all the time, but way more than you'd think. Remember folks, Commandment of Control works on many levels. If you're building your...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    It can be authoritatively wrong about a whole lot more stuff! "Garbage in, garbage out" still holds, and if they're still training this thing on reddit posts and some dude's blog, more garbage in will just mean more garbage out.

    Not becoming a software or tech consultant

    FTE 
    Guess what? You are. Far, far too many people in this field right now are rank beginners, with none of the problem solving skills you talk about in the rest of your post. I don't know if that helps you with your search or not, but I wanted to make sure you have the right mindset going forward...

    It's a bunch of computers strung together that can guess the next word in a sentence in a way that seems like it makes sense to most people. It's not figuring anything out; it's not doing any of its own thinking at all.

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    There was! The guy was, of course, nuts. It was a standard chatbot. And then got fired for publicizing the whole thing.

    Hyper reality, old money and collecting it.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've been collecting Magic the Gathering cards for years. I have a pretty decent collection of cards that are worth a lot, and an enormous collection of cards that aren't really worth anything, except in bulk. I'm in the process of selling off like 99% of the collection, simply because I'd...

    Best way to market mobile apps

    MARKETING 
    The problem with trying to market your app as-is is that there isn't really a user base for it. Right now, ChatGPT is a fad. Maybe it'll be something in the future, but when that happens it won't be for the general purpose use it's seeing right now. Personally, I would take the base app you...

    Best way to host my python backend

    Flutter. All the disadvantages of write-"once"-run-"anywhere", with a bonus of needing to learn a new language you won't use anywhere else! :rolleyes:

    Best way to market mobile apps

    MARKETING 
    What does the app do? The problem with marketing mobile apps is they aren't the same as web apps, but people try to treat them that way. Most people will hear about your app elsewhere and then target search for it on the App Store (meaning, they'll search for your app name specifically). There...

    Hypnotising yourself to create the character and belief you want! (POWERFUL)

    HOT! MINDSET PEOPLE 
    Hey man, I've thought about it. I can't say I would be happy about it, but I'd take the money. Thing is, they are going to waste it no matter what, and there's not a damn thing I can really do about it. So I'll take the contract and consider it repayment of a tiny fraction of the money they...

    Weren't we just talking, like two weeks ago, about how ChatGPT is going to destroy every copywriter anyway? I know the bloom is kind of off the ChatGPT rose now that everyone's realized it's only incrementally better than every other chatbot in existence, but still! Two weeks!

    How to start making money using ChatGPT?

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE 
    Ahhh there is so much wrong with this question... I'll try to answer it as if it's earnest but naive. Money comes from value. That's it. Value is the only thing that will drive money to you, and the only reason you ever part with it is because you get some value from doing so. So asking "how...

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    All you need to do right now is step 4. Once that's done, steps 9 and 11. Don't overthink it. You'll get yourself into a prep loop and never get anything done. Start building right now. Don't even read the rest of my post! In case you're still here: you're a developer, you know what you need...

    Tell me pls - how to promote my trading skills?

    I mean, you do still need to do marketing. "Build a better mousetrap" is a damned lie and always has been. But if you're really beating the market (and everyone else), the promotions kinda write themselves, don't they? "Hi, I'm Quantum leap, and my returns last year were 15%, compared to the...

    Tell me pls - how to promote my trading skills?

    MARKETING 
    So what are you looking for exactly? Do you want people to trust you to invest their money for them? Because, I'm sorry, but they're not going to. What's more, in the US anyway, there's massive licensing requirements for this kind of thing. My advice would be, if your market sense and trading...
