@Henry Haevernick thanks for the tips I'll check those out. I just chose Higgsfield because people are raving about it. Don't really want use stock videos, too much hassle to find out whether it's ok fo commercial use, rights etc. Video Ai generators will nicely create a scene reflecting the script, no licensing worries

@Henry Haevernick Thanks! I just brainstormed what features I'd love in an app and build it with ChatGPT and Codex. Mine works pretty well but I have to get Microsoft Artifact Signing done because Windows Smart App started to block some of the apps components. Something new to learn :) . I'm also gonna turn those into skills also so I could process videos on the go and fully automate it. Apps are more fun though because you can do it hands on and make small tweaks if needed

I tried it too but quickly switched to Codex :)

Yup, they are subsidizing them less and less. Cost just doubled, as costly as Fable now. Building my automations and apps as quick as I can before another price increase lol 😅 It's still a steal for what it does at these prices , well worth it. On the bright side , it means less competition so it's not all bad

@Ryan Doser I think it will be a long time before the ROI wouldn't make sense to us it. Nobody likes price hikes but all you have to do is just compare those increasing costs to how much it would cost to hire a human to perform those same tasks and still feel great about it :) Just offset it by charging higher prices, as you would with any other product or service when your costs go up

@Catherine Eadie oh ok, I understand. In that case enjoy your life, four years will fly by pretty quickly. Hey, you're great at Ai automations so maybe you could do some side jobs as a sub contractor. Let me know and when I'll have a surplus I'll gladly send some work your way. Oh the story gets better :) it's actually Printer supplies TO Construction TO Spirituality coaching TO Habit creation/ navigating emotions & beliefs coaching TO Ai 😁 what a journey. Getting my construction to where I wanted it took about year and a half. I started working as a sub contractor for a guy, general contractor I knew. Not ideal because as a sub you don't make as much but the upside was that I got steady work coming my way right from the start and learn some new skills working along other subs on the projects. Later one of the subs and I found a general contractor that just did windows installs, at much better sub rates so we both pivoted to him, plus did our own gigs when we had some free time. Everything was going well for few years, business grew but all of sudden I started having chronic inflammation, especially felt it in my hands and toes, not great for a job that needs those parts of the body. 😁 So I decided to close up my business and focus on finding a solution to heal the root cause because going to sleep with your joints hurting was not a life I wanted to live. Neither was just taking meds that my doctor wanted to put me on just to mask the symptoms. Since I'm a great problem solver I found out that I had some gut is issues. Long story short, almost healed it 100% through diet, lifestyle changes and spiritual practices, which lead me to my first coaching endeavor. While it was a great effort :) getting paying clients wasn't easy so it was short lived. Shortly after my dad's health took a fast deepdive, he got Alzheimer's. Since getting help to help my mom to take care of him is ridiculously expensive, around $100k/ year I helped them out instead for the past 3 years until my father passing last May. So with lots of time on my hands I gave habit creation/mindset coaching a shot 😃.

@Catherine Eadie I think I will and the title will be "My crazy life 🤪" my relationship stories are entertaining too so it will be a best seller for sure lol. I'll send you a copy hehe. Thank you 🙏 he's no longer suffering so that's good. Yes, it wasn't easy for any of us but that's what family is for, especially during times like that. Great, I'm sure I'll have surplus!
