To keep up with AI, you need to be... unemployed

What you need is a skill to correctly solve your problem — not install a lot for peace of mind, or think that the more you have, the smarter the agent will be.

Installing haphazardly makes the AI ​​heavy, skills stepping on each other. Not to mention there are skills that install hidden logic or malicious code inside - it's too easy in this era to embed malicious logic into a skill. Professionals use popular skills or skills they understand, and the rest they package and use themselves. People who aren't experts in installing it for peace of mind don't understand what they're installing.

Install the skill you really need, have learned about, or have an experienced person recommend/verify.

One day I woke up and said "Agent 24/7 does it for me", the next day it was "Harness", the day after that it was "Second Brain", then "GPT Image fired the Designer". Really cool technology, with real applications — but a lot of it is overblown.

Think about it: does it really solve any problems for you? Is it more profitable than the current/traditional solution?

• Yes → ok, let's play around.
• No → read carefully, remember a few keywords, when you encounter the right problem, it's not too late to play.

Learning for fun, for the passion of tinkering is great. And dabbling just because you're afraid of being out of the game, dabbling with this after that, is very tiring.

Go online once a day: "It's crazy...", "Tool A has completely changed industry B...", "It only took 20 minutes...", "I created an AI company...", "I built 5 Agents to work 24/7 for me...".

Yes, this is the type of card you can skip up to 80%. I read it all in the clouds, forgetting my feet were still on the ground. If you still want to read, you only need to understand the first 2-3 sentences, then skim the comments - sometimes the critical comments are the good part.

Unlike point number 2 (true value but exaggerated), this type is often completely rubbish. The content is very good - real people, real applications. The other songs were full of pictures of deer and gibbons, counting crabs, scaring the community.

As a true expert in my industry, I read it when I understand it. If you don't know "online teacher", that's fine.

Now no one is making a big deal about OpenClaw anymore (virtual yet) — born, exploded, the whole world talked about it, then cooled down. It's not that it's not good, but because it was hyped so horribly that after a while it was forced to return to its true value. Anyone who needs it can use it, if it solves the problem, they can use it.

The nature of technology is to solve problems. Many tools are now hyped, and many people try to find problems for the tool to solve — just to satisfy FOMO, to see that they are making good use of AI.

"Save these 5 prompts now...", "I gave FB to Claude, and here are 7 prompts...", "Designer is about to go to the chicken coop, here are 10 prompts...", "Exploit 100% of Claude's power with 20 prompts...".

After reading, save the article and share it privately to practice "sometime". But "when" is when?

Saved — not sure if I'll open it yet. Open it up and see — not sure how to practice. Practice — not necessarily solving any real problems. Are you just doing something to avoid finding yourself on the outs?

Encountering FOMO content, try to think of what problem it applies/solves to you. If so, find out. If not, that's it.
