I think you did the right thing. I believe it's as simple as him viewing you as a threat.

1. Sorry, but I don't understand your use of the phrase "solo person." Do you mean working from home, working as an independent contactor, working without a team (for whatever reason) or something else?

And it depends on what you are using AI for. In most cases, I won't have an answer for that. But in some cases, I would. In short, I need more information to provide advice.

2. Similar to the first answer, what does "validated learning" mean to you. However, beyond that, I can recommend a book that was an amazing help to me in terms of quickly learning a subject.

The book is titled, "The Science of Rapid Skill Acquisition." It's an exceptional book. Also, Gladwell's "Outliers" is helpful in the sense of realizing why some seem to just be better than others when in fact they are not. It just seems that way. In my view, maximum productivity is about focus and effort. Which reminds me, the classic book titled "Flow," by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, was also an amazing help to me.

1. A "solo person" would be all of the above. An individual looking for work from home as an independent contractor without a team.

2. "Validated learning" meaning its not just stuff made up by a person, but has data backing it up--specifically, in this case, about a (job/product/service) market, not a subject. In particular, the data is not freely searchable on the web using google, bing, perplexity, or anything like that--something more insightful.

If you have time, which I presume you don't, can you elaborate on your career situation?

Based on what you have stated, I don't know how helpful I can be. I had my own business long ago and I consult now, so I know a bit about those circumstance but not necessarily the services you perform. However, I certainly believe I can add some type of value if you elaborate on your situation. My hope with threads like this is that if I cannot help maybe someone else can. Assuming, of course, that you haven't figured this all out during the time it took me to realize there was an open question in this thread.

Excellent point. Yet, wrong thread.

Wait a second . . . we can just delete posts now?! That's terrible idea (I hope I didn't think of that).

I can't remember a time when we couldn't. I don't know what the mods see. I think somebody recently said you can't delete them if you are quoted.

Terrible idea. If it was mine, I sincerely apologize.

As far as I know, members can delete posts for some interval - not sure what that is - a few days? To delete older posts members have always had to ask a mod. I cannot guarantee that has not changed. Much changed with the "new" forum software, and I cannot claim to be aware of all of it.
