Having a clear vision in a blurred world
Is incredibly hard
How often did I sit at my computer, thinking I have a $4000 machine I’m barely taking advantage of? I have access to literally any AI on the market; I know how to build software. I could build, make, and release anything. Yet I open YouTube and watch another gaming-related video.
I don’t have a solution to offer—actually, I have nothing to offer. I just wanted to write a little bit about my state of mind. I don’t know if it’s AI, my kid, my tiredness, the Russia war on Ukraine, or the growing number of conflicts worldwide, but it’s simply hard to focus on anything productive outside of work lately.
AI opened so many doors and possibilities. As someone who loves to build stuff, it’s incredibly hard to just focus on one thing. Why should I do one thing when I could do everything? Also, why should I do it if tomorrow, whatever I’m building can be solved by another new LLM in 5 minutes?
Also, AI is built on FOMO. For people who know, they know… if you try to follow the AI trend every day, you’ll very quickly grow tired. But a part of you also tells you that you’ll miss the next big thing if you don’t.
But it’s no AI, or at least not only. Maybe I simply developed a zoomer mind. Or perhaps I’m trying too much to find a complex problem to solve…
