when you start doing knowledge work using ai you start realizing that it actually might not replace labor. its just that people will be able to do more and they will have at tens and hundreds of AIs working for them, and they will have to manage them all. a lot more software

founders, hiring a b-tier engineer via recruiters costs more than $40k so even if you have to meet hundreds of people and fly halfway across the earth to find and convince a great engineer, do it!

been using image creating models a lot lately. here are my observation gemini / nano-banana - very creative - cluttered - loses details - fast chatgpt - less creative - clean and minimalistic - keeps details - very slow takeaway: use gemini if you want to visualize a piece

cases where remote work doesn't work: if you're early in your career and you want to really get ahead of the rest, main thing you need is focus and unfortunately, maintaining that while working remotely is hard even if you're self-motivated, the distractions are too many.
