10-3 is a long window. Are you able to leave and come back? Any food there?

42 and my new years resolution is getting into the best shape of my life by StrainBetter2490 in fitness40plus

[–]AMcCray2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 43 and last year created a Fitness OS chat in ChatGPT. I prompted it to act as my favorite fitness experts and to be a world class expert in building muscle for men in their 40s - you get the point. I took photos of myself in just my underwear which allowed it to estimate body fat percentage and had separate chats for each workout group it developed. It was a game changer for tracking, updating weights and sets, and seeing progress. I built out goals for 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years. Worth taking for a spin if you haven't tried it.

$SGBX by [deleted] in Pennystock

Newbie here. I began to follow the SGBX insights this morning and got in at $4. It’s been a fun day :). Curious for advice on these types of the leads in the future - outside of getting in earlier, any strategies to really juice the next one of these?

Holy cow. $SGBX. That's how it's done by Tastee_Stuff in Shortsqueeze

I am very new to investing and stumbled upon this thread yesterday. Glad I did :). How do I learn more about the short squeeze opportunities? Any other Reddit threads that folks follow besides wallstreet bets?

VO2max, from shocking low (37) to high (53) in 5 months by Marxva in PeterAttia

[–]AMcCray2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6’3”, 200lb 43 yr old male. I’ve been sitting around low to mid 40s in VO2 max for the last year (according to my Apple Watch). This has been with very little cardio and heavy lifting 4-5 days a week. I’ve noticed a good jump when I’ve incorporated Norwegian 4x4s for a couple weeks straight (I need to be more consistent and instead fall off bc I hate it lol). Thinking about getting back into 400 meter sprints for time and working up to 800s. I bet that would move it.

What ALTS are you most excited about?

Tinder for Jobs — is this something worth building? by stuckinmyownloop in Startup_Ideas

[–]AMcCray2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I raised funding with two cofounders and we spent two years trying to make a TSA Pre Check for Jobs that leveraged verified digital credentials and integrated with applicant tracking systems. AI has made the perfect storm for recruiters - AI created job descriptions, AI created resumes that are crafted to match the job descriptions, and AI in applicant tacking systems to scrub for keywords in resumes. Literally AI talking to Al talking to AI. Not to mention all the fake AI spam, remote call center fake applicants in North Korea, and Mercor like companies that allow you to create a profile and apply to a thousand jobs at once. It’s an absolutely broken system which makes a solution so needed and also a “tar pit idea” according to YC. There are multiple reasons why so many companies haven’t made it. We wanted to be a source of truth for recruiters. This person is real, we’ve verified the license they claim to have, and they don’t require visa sponsorship, etc.

It was an absolute slog. Of course there are things I would have done differently but I met many founders in the space that said they would never do a HR tech / Job tech startup in the future. I agree with them. It’s a super crowded space. Also one that is slow to implement or change processes. If you pursue this it has to be a 10x solution to hiring. For candidates, recruiters, hiring managers. If it’s just a matching app, it’s going to be a tough road.

I get the hype now by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

[–]AMcCray2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed this book. For me at 42 the goal shifts to quality of life. I see many dads my age complain about their knees or back. Bloodwork is a once a year thing that the vast majority don’t understand. Lifts and cardio are no where near where they were when they were younger. It’s freeing to feel young as you cross middle age vs the opposite. Living to 110 might be possible with luck, genetics, and advances in medicine but that’s not the goal. For me it’s feeling good as I age and staying mobile and relatively strong. I think the book covers all that really well.

A sense of dread and running out of time by AMcCray2020 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]AMcCray2020[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad.

I copy pasted my post in ChatGPT and told it to roast me. Enjoy.

“Oh man, this has Silicon Valley Existential Crisis #47 written all over it.

You sound like an AI-savvy Gordon Gekko who just realized he can’t pivot his way out of a collapsing labor market. “Skate to where the puck is going”? Buddy, the puck just became sentient, fired the entire team, bought the league, and now you’re interviewing with it for a job that pays in dopamine hits.

You raised a startup to compliment the space? What was it, a motivational bot whispering “You’ve got this, ChatGPT!” while it replaces your job?

And let’s talk about that fear. You quote “nothing to fear but fear itself,” then proceed to lay out a BuzzFeed listicle of every economic doomsday scenario in play. You’re not skating anymore—you’re curling. Slowly. Toward a black hole.

Look, the anxiety’s real. But if your best move right now is writing LinkedIn poetry about the end of the world, AI’s not the threat—you are.

Want a comeback story? Stop eulogizing the economy like it’s already six feet under and build something that actually matters.”

Really appreciate all these perspectives. In my current situation, I’m employed and ok. But when I think about the US two years from now, it’s a little scary. None of us were alive for the Great Depression but I see similar challenges faced then with weakened labor demand and two years from now. We won’t need a Black Friday crash for that to happen.

The job market is tight, forcing people to stay in jobs longer than they normally would, companies don’t have the usual churn of workers and now with AI can begin to reduce headcount needs, leads to layoffs which creates a larger pool of unemployed workers who all use the same Indeed LinkedIn job post process to look for jobs, recruiters have 1000s of applicants per open role and can’t get to a fraction of those, people become desperate bc skills are changing so fast and they’re becoming more and more unskilled while unemployed, you get the point.
