I'm always surprised how nobody in these threads try to be the one who gives AI the job.

A few years ago, everyone kept talking about how they were inspired by tim ferriss and rich dad poor dad to quit their jobs and become entrepreneurs. Now people are talking about how they miss having jobs.

People were automating businesses on less then. If you have something with the capabilities of putting someone out of a job, then what about being a solopreneur? Without a large team to feed, you don't need the big markets; you can do niches like say, fitness for diabetics, and all kinds of crazy features you couldn't do 5 years ago like calculate glycemic load from a photo of a hot dog.

for one, because I am not an entrepreneur and do not care for the details of running a business. but over and above that, I do not believe AI is capable of doing my job. it is certainly capable of being given my job by company owners who resent paying wages a lot more than they resent paying the capex and opex for AI coders, but I do not envy the middle layer of people tasked with getting the shiny new toys to actually do the job of the people who were fired on spec.

That's when you suddenly realize that many people who successfully start new companies aren't just developers. They have knowledge, connections, experience etc in another field. Otherwise what you get is SaaS tools for developers... Kind of emplains why there's already so many of those right?

A few more years ago everyone wanted to be a startup founder. Then everyone wanted a cozy FAANG job and now people are afraid of AI taking it.

Money. People want that. You need a job until your biz takes off.
