Digitizing and organizing old document scans for birth, marriage, and death records would be a huge win for genealogy research. The Mormon church would be a great customer for you.
Further, there’s guides and even coaching to help.
I have no affiliation with them other than as someone who has benefitted tremendously from everything on offer.
Definitely treat this like an addiction. If something, chemical, behavioral, or otherwise is causing your life to suffer, it’s an addiction.
I would guess your child gets more positive feeling from the game than life.
It can take a little time, but there is hope and a healthy way through.
On a related note, my college roommate was exactly the same way. He failed out of college. He worked for a very large game studio by starting at the absolute bottom and then eventually headed a new game category of the type of game he frequently played in college.
He now runs a game studio of his own making multiples of what I do.
As parents, it’s hard to watch a child take a different path than you would expect would be optimal for them, but sometimes they can surprise you by getting out of the local optima you find yourselves in and branch out to something new.
Good luck to you. From someone who previously suffered this same thing, I wish you all the best.
Amazing. I’m looking at building an app to look over the employment sections of the legal code and come back with results if things are allowed or not.
Answering questions like:
Can my employer do X?
As an employee in this country, what’s my minimum days off I can take?
And so on.
If your claims are true, then this will be exactly what I’m looking for.
No. Changing your identity is much more powerful and sort of operates in a background process whereas willpower is more of a conscious foreground one and very difficult to sustain long term.
Read the book. It goes into some detail.
I’ve worked with thousands of people personally over the years to help them with supposedly difficult to treat addictions for instance. Willpower is fine to start, but completely fails in the long term. Identity change is the only thing I’ve found that works long term.
It was certainly economically viable without LLM help, but the fact that I didn’t have to give up equity, get a loan, or use substantial amounts of my own funds to get it done at what would normally be a longer timeline to boot seems like a loss for some bankers and some freelancers or cofounders I would have needed otherwise.
I do agree that I’m creating something from whole cloth here so it’s not technically replacement as I haven’t let anyone go, but I’m going with the spirit of the question here.
Varies at the moment as I’m onboarding users slowly, testing, and iterating. About $15-30k MRR usually. Only been running a few months so it’s hard to extrapolate too far.
I don’t use LLMs for this currently. Maybe one day. I’d certainly be happy if that was the case.
I’ve used tools like https://www.replo.app/ to replicate Ecommerce stores and use LLMs to rewrite copy though. That’s automating a huge amount of work.
I’m using LLMs to help me code backend coding tasks that I need done for backend services and API generation and interfacing.
I started a company with a combination of no-code tools and LLMs to help me program some of the rest.
I’ve got a degree in CS, but haven’t programmed professionally in 15 years.
These new tools have allowed me to create something even larger teams would struggle with on my own in a matter of months.
I’m astonished at the progress I’m able to make without much assistance.
There is often something I’ll need to sit and debug or figure out the name for if I want to ask Google or the LLM helping me code, but that’s about it.
As far as I’m concerned, that means I haven’t needed to hire at least 2-3 full time engineers, be fully bootstrapped, and profitable from day 1 at launch.
Maybe I’ll hire people in the future, but so far the LLMs have replaced engineers, copywriters, designers, and customer support roles. I can handle it all on my own or have the LLM (in the case of customer support) do a decent enough job that I don’t even have to do it anymore.
I’m currently working with Digistain (S21) and we’re using AI to predict breast (and eventually other) cancer recurrence.
The tests are performed using infrared spectroscopy to measure protein synthesis and then fed into AI in order to make proper measurements and predictions.
We’ve shown we’re able to predict better than any other known method and are beginning our partnership and rollout to many hospitals around the world.
As a quick solution, rent a commercial grade ozone generator.
Run it while you’re not in the house as in the concentrations they can put out it is damaging to lung tissue.
This is how hotels clear out smoke smells in rooms for instance.
Once you run it for a few hours, you can open things up and air it all out and the smells should mostly be gone unless there’s an active source of smell.
I did it while restoring an old house previously occupied by a smoker and hoarder. Would just run it at night when nobody was there and open the house in the morning when ready to get back to work on renovations.
