  • I’m seeing a ton of AI generated Feynman stuff on YouTube lately. Don’t know enough to know if this is his audio lectures just with AI graphics, or fan generated stuff like they are doing with Brian Cox.

    Either way, I’m getting so tired of playing “Is this just made up AI crap” when looking for a science or history program to unwind with.

    I know it’s old man yelling at clouds, but I really wish they required AI slop to be labeled.









  • I’m considered an expert in my field, and with almost 20 years experience I tried what you are suggesting.

    The thing all us tech geeks forget about when starting a business, is all the stuff that actually goes into the running a business part of it.

    You want to focus on the work, but there are bills, invoices, client and project management, etc.

    I had clients, I had projects, but I didn’t have nearly enough time in the day to handle all of it.

    Then clients started paying late, causing all kinds of fees to stack up. So even when I had time to do the work, I was distracted and nothing got done the way I wanted.

    I tried hiring an admin, but it was too little too late. In the end I went back to being the in house guy at a large company, where I get to focus on the stuff I am good at and enjoy.

    I’m not saying don’t do it, I’m saying be very very aware about all the other elements before going off on your own.
