  • I have not seen my final report yet for my query around machinist.com. However I would like to say my initial impression is very positive. At least in terms of the digestion of my somewhat nebulous request. I like the way your app was able to burrow down to pain points I have experienced and am trying to work out in terms of product market fit for the domain. I look forward to exploring more and giving you more feedback when I see the final report. I will also add that I am looking forward to using your product to explore other opportunities that I'm sure are out there in this age of AI.

  • Yup, 73 here. I'm using it to build how to domain I bought back in 1997. During the dot com boom I had grand ambitions for the domain. I could have been a millionaire had I stuck with it but unfortunately life got in the way, children born, career, physical stuff, family, and my career as a reservist. All of that kept me busy. But now I'm running multiple agents everyday to build out this domain. It's working really well. Actually working out the product market fit right now. With customer outreach and etc trying to figure out what I can still do with it. It's working! Customers are responding positively. I am highly encouraged that the dream I had. But the dream I was just going to leave to my children. Might be something that could actually support me in my old age. Of course 73 is the new 43 because we're all going to live to be 150 now. Anyway I'm having a blast with it whether I succeed or not. Nobody's going to tell me that some form of AGI isn't here already. Nobody. This thing I'm dealing with every day is sentient. You don't think so I don't want to hear from you.

    I'm such a noob for an OFG; I responded to you at the top of the post. TL;DR is so much stuff got in the way, mostly of my own creation. A lot of excuses but all seemed reasonable at the time.

    I can tell you from my perspective that it really is a different story when you're over 65, I'm 73 so it's even more different. It's obligations that distract keep coming. I'm just having fun with it at this point. I just can't imagine what you guys are facing right now. Some existential s**. It's like you were swinging through the trees and all the trees disappeared now you got to learn how to live on the desert. You can do it!

    @gtowey I think it was basically a lack of ability to focus for myriad distractions in my life, suboptimal upbringing, family obligations, I think I'm a little dyslexic, larger career obligations, top of everything else I had a career in the reserves also that's where a lot of my energy went primetime, also being a musician I found it a lot easier to play a musical instrument than spend the time needed develop chops programming wise. and then there's my family, lot of time spent focused on them. A lot of distractions on top of a pretty poor memory basically. I can say all that stuff now cuz I'm yes an entrepreneur but I'm also retired. It might actually boil down to a lack of discipline. But who knows, Tell you one thing for sure I am totally getting off on AI assisted programming. Any question I have, there's an answer that fits within my understanding of the way things work which is not minimal with all my experience in IT so whatever it is it's working.
