@BrianRoemmele I mean, it probably changed permanently two years ago, but you didn't have access to good-natured, optimistic teens to be able to measure it.

@drjoshcsimmons Maybe solve the last one by attending several annual small tech-biz conferences and joining/building a mastermind group. Otherwise, remote or not, I'd live in driving distance of a mid-size tech hub.

The whole "AI is coming, nothing we can do, and it won't be stopped." is going to look pretty silly soon. Key capitalists will probably realize that, at the current pace, they can't participate and its just going to deleverage them and usher in Socialism. Then, as if by magic ...
