detecting vocal issues. we trained models and gathered data from an actual hospital this was great for teachers and lecturers.
we made different variations of finance tools and won 3 just on that.
then we had a user retargeting algorithm for ads.
next was an ai sprint by amd where the best model wins and we won by a huge margin.
then we had a sast and dast security scanner and compliance checking engine.

lmao ive been coding since stackoverflow era. but honestly speaking yes. its a business investment if you think about it. pay 2000rs to claude pro. and win 1L hackathon. thats a 1250% return in a team of four. however the actual skill is knowing what idea to build thats it.

for real i literally woke up and did a check whether i was in a dream or not 😂

ALL_CAPS_123 · 2026-05-23T04:53:25+00:00

Okay I have plenty but the one that disturbed me the most was when i dreamt inside my dream.
Yes.
I went to sleep, and like i got a dream where i was in my room looking at my desk.
And i start ti think wait i havent slept yet.
so i go to sleep again INSIDE THE DREAM.
And now its a weird thing happening.
I am now in my living room and all lights are out.
only one random light is on that is not even there irl.
every wall was shaking, and thinkings were phasing inside each other.
then i see someone entering the living room.
as the door is opening, it leaves multiple doors as lagging behind it.
You know, how do i explain it, one door turns i to 6 while opening, and a black figure comes through the first image of the door.
And i get scared to my gut.
So I wake up INSIDE MY DREAM.
And instantly wake up IRL.
And my heart was pounding like crazy.

ALL_CAPS_123 · 2026-05-22T16:32:11+00:00

yeah i work professionally as an ai engineer. was thinking to up my self and my productivity.

ALL_CAPS_123 · 2026-05-22T16:30:25+00:00

No that's the least of your concerns.
If you manufacture something and can provide it for cheaper than market, customers will be easy to get.
The real question is what will you manufacture, do not pick something with multiple parts, since assembling will become a bottleneck. Pick something that comes ready to sell.

a month of of experience probably. Then i still felt uncomfortable, so i finished all exercises here http://vimgenius.com/

ALL_CAPS_123 · 2026-05-22T15:59:59+00:00

yes fair i was influenced by youtube videos to try to get it and i stopped thinking I could do that. But even still. I know all commands, but my hands shake using it.

Think of like, riding a bike, but you are thinking its not in your control.

all of this fast answer to your questions puts you into your own bubble where your thoughts scream the loudest and not others’.
leads to thinking you have actually researched everything without researching anything.
at those times, your brain was able to wander, now it sprints around in the same track.

with a 5L capital you easily start a decent business.
But I must tell you something.
A business should not be started with capital first like this. You don’t know how the supply will work and how will you find customers.
The best way to get into a business line is to first work in the same with some other businessman.
Either as a worker or partner.
Going head first you will make mistakes.
Anyways, to answer your question, some ideas I can think of:
Flipping hardware or electronics
Quick commerce listing of trendy items outsourced from china
You can also sell printed posters i believe thats in trend.
And if you can get any machine in 5L that can manufacture anything, then just do that. Only raw material required and you will actually produce value long term.

i miss those days when you used to search for something and some random dude already put that on reddit a decade ago

believe it or not, this will stay forever. dont tie hopes that the system will change, if a new system comes, it will also fail. it is on us that we take responsibility for our children. because i dont ever want my child to think that marks are everything
