This is going to be huge. I ran a small business that grew and grew and grew for 10-12 years. (sold it 3 years ago). I spent so much time on SEO and Google ranking bullshit.. (lol). I'm done with that, for now. I anticipate the pain that is to come for those that depend on the "old school way." Every damn time I "google" something now, and the AI kicks in with the summary up top, that usually answers my question, I'm just done. I have the answer I need and I stop. No more "google search rabbit holes"... it's kind of refreshing as an end consumer, but has Google shot themselves in the foot? What's next to replace their main revenue model? It's also so refreshing to go to things like Perplexity and ask my question, and not be greeting by 1000 ads.... I see the good and the bad... How is this going to work out?

@Didac Fernandez Great questions! One reason that I'm here, is because you're here TBH. I really admire you, your brilliance, and your willingness to help people. I do have a drive to develop a close network with a brilliant community inside the world of AI, and I think this place will be it. My future: I don't really see myself in a role as a consultant to 3rd party individuals or companies. Too "peopley". I also don't see myself in the future as an employee of a company. Perhaps fractionally. I'd also need a super firm grasp of the concepts before I would feel confident enough to even propose my services. If I did have an army of agents and systems between me and the clients, then possibly. One of my main "hold-ups" in offering services, is--- how do I guarantee them? The tech-stacks seem so very dynamic right now, and that worries me for project longevity and quality. I mostly anticipate that I'll use the knowledge and skills to leverage my own product or service. To start my own business of making "things". Art? Design? Downloadable files? I am working now to make some tools for Autodesk's Fusion Design software. That's where I've been "vibe-coding" with Claude the last few days with a fairly good success rate. I'll be using these tools to help me create some rather elaborate art designs in CAD for 3D printing. Today's fun was realizing that I've had this LONG discussion with Claude Opus-4 over a few days. It's greatly improved error handling when creating these scripts/add-ins for Fusion that we've been working on. I then realized--- crap, when I exit this conversation, and start another one about the same subject, "he's" going to have to relearn all of this again. That's when I expressed my concern, and asked it then in the same, even longer chat, to create a series of training files and system instructions for use in TypingMind, that would best capture the learnings that "we" developed in that one long ass chat. I love this stuff.
