    Will AI kill the fastlane dream?

    RANT 
    I want to bring a more optimistic perspective, I think this AI wave if it continues improving at the rate it has been can be very beneficial for society. Think of all of the possibilities AI helping to cure diseases, inventions to stop climate change, etc. Sure if you are a white collar worker...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    CHAT 
    I am also quite concerned about the rate AI is improving. I myself have used github copilot which improves developer productivity and also have chatGPT plus subscription and I am convinced there will be huge ramifications for white collar workers. I think it is just best to have a safety net and...

    Hi! I'm 3/4 of the way through a kindle e-book that espouses slow lane strategies.

    INTRO 
    Just do it, if you will help some people that is great! I know that the slowlane is frowned upon here in this forum but fact of the matter is it works for a lot of people who don't want to hustle and just want a simple life. And in my opinion, that is completely fine.

    Where do I sell my inventions?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Why exactly do you want to sell the items yourself? If you are somebody who is good at inventing you should stick to that and let the people that are good with manufacturing and distribution take care of that part. In your case I would try to get royalty deals with manufacturers/distributors...

    Will China overtake the US

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I mean it depends what you mean by "dethrone", even right now you could even make an argument that China has already dethroned US. I believe Chinas economy will continue getting bigger and bigger baring some unforeseen black swan event. Regarding the tech scene, you should really look into 996...

    Is Real Estate investment a viable strategy for increasing wealth in the country I live in?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Would be very interested if somebody who has knowledge in this area could comment since I am also from Europe (not Ireland) and also wondering if the math makes sense to rent/flip real estate.

    I can't say for sure about the competition in Norway, you will have to do your due dilligence there. There are pros and cons to any business. I would not worry too much and just start. Try to do a good job and in terms of scalability, you can always open your own gym chain, record online...

    If fitness is the case what I would do is become a fitness instructor. Once you have some experience in that I would start posting videos in social media ( make sure they are high quality and that you know what you are talking about!) this way you will start establishing yourself as an expert in...

    Hi Magnus, welcome to the forum! The question that you need to answer is what do people want/need and what can you provide? Being that you are 18 I will assume that you do not have any specialized skills and/or large sums of capital. So I would recommend for you some freelance work / service...

    The AI Entrepreneurship thread. Code AI? Interested in AI? Data Science? Machine Learning?

    HOT! 
    I have some prior experience with NLP models, but for me it is just mainly general software engineering in my work. Yeah I agree, I think for everyone what is best to understand is that the best business is to leverage what you know. If you are an android dev then probably for you it is best to...

    The AI Entrepreneurship thread. Code AI? Interested in AI? Data Science? Machine Learning?

    HOT! 
    I agree with this point of view, but realistically probably best scenario if you are a business person is to partner with a talented engineer, do a brainstorming session with them and then try to build something for 6+ months and see if you can get some traction with users/investors. If not...

    I would advise you to first concentrate on your career and get into fang. You are saying like it is such an easy thing to od. Once you get that 250k salary then I would just invest into index funds, real estate. You should really appreciate how lucky you are. As a frontend dev in europe you...

    HOT! 
    Speaking as a software engineer, i am quite pessimistic about the people here who don’t know how to code and want to create an AI business. Don’t want to be a downer but there are a lot of people that work with AI and know it in and out, know what it can and can’t do and even they can’t create...

    What would you say to your younger self, in order to help him get his money fast

    Frankly, I would tell myself to get a seasonal job in the summer and save up some money and gain experience since I clearly didn’t have enough skills for a real business. But I still don’t regret those summers I played basketball everyday…

    Are programming interviews draining entrepreneurial spirit?

    I think this is a bit hyperbole, sure if you want to get into google or such caliber company which has hundreds of applications per position then you might need to grind on the algorithms. However it is usually not years if you have your computer science fundamentals in order.

    ETF's are fine.

    NEED HELP: Selling My Business and Investing $2M Profit

    INVESTING 
    In my mind you have two options and the one you choose depends on what you want from life. 1) You do not want to work a day in your life anymore and want to do gardening, some gaming , etc (not expensive hobbies) then the investment strategy works fine for you since you could take 3 % from your...
