They're endless. This is more than I had in mind. Claude was able to perfectly one shot the recursive skill nesting, and hiding others, so it's not too cluttered. Hopefully dual window prompting I can bang out the rest of my usage. Crazy I was hesitant to start paying for Claude but clearly I've gotten 20x my monthly 20$ subscription cost worth already. Just to think how much this site would have costed me 5 years ago if I paid someone to do. Probably a thousand dollars at the very least. Now I can do it all my self just how I want it. This is pretty close to it. Still of course there are endless UI improvements and features I can add but this is an amazing start. Can't wait to start actually plugging in the right numbers for the skills:

I'm thinking 50 will be average. Like level 50 for any skill will be the average level if you randomly took anyone in the world most people would be around level 50. Level 1 would be like if a baby tried to do it. Max level would be God or some AI with the culmination of human knowledge. That's probably good enough. It's all arbitrary anyways. It's more of a progress checker numbers go up type of thing anyways.

Elon says 3 years left before human work becomes nearly impossible to sell. Well some work will continue for far longer. AI won't do EVERYTHING better than people. At least not for decades. Even an AI smarter in every way I would still be very impressed if it could make real creative works that are not derivative in any way.

The bullshit tasks no one likes doing will be gone quick, but that leaves a lot of people broken and poor if nothing is done about that. I have some easy fixes for that but it requires infinitely more funds and people listening to me to actually work. That's always the same roadblock for really everything there.

If you gain any sort of pride/ego/confidence from your mid job a machine could do I'd work on moving past that. No one will care you were great at mixing cement or stamping papers in a few years. Not saying those jobs weren't incredibly useful and needed at one point. Just that you won't have that job for much longer. I'm sure with how slow regulations move some jobs will cling to human fulfillment a lot longer than they should. At least at the start of the transition as well human overseers will be needed for a good bit. Maybe a decade. We'll still lose 90% of jobs but at least the new jobs will be a lot cooler and less arduous. That's the vision at least.

Ideally everyone will have enough capital to do what they want without having to work, instead of some glum alternative techno-feudalistic hellscape. I'm looking forward to having a nicely automated compound with an organic farm. Robots patrolling to keep squirrels off my crop. Solar and wind power all that stuff would be pretty awesome. Stuff that was unthinkable solar punk fantasy 5 years ago is entirely doable now.
