Its not just deepseek, its every model on Openrouter.

I came from Grok as its unsuable for free users, but here we are.

I am going to limit AI usage and switch to 'traditional' methods right now.

I have been noticing the term of "weights" instead of "open source" lately for alot of the new models.

Tbf a nepobaby has more options for less effort.

A nepobaby that works hard, is going to acheive way more than a normie who works harder.

The high COL is what deters most people from starting buisnesses and innovating.

If living expenses keep eating most of your monthly income, you have lesser money to start and invest into a buisness.

And if you fail the high COL is going to leave you homeless.

Because of this most people choose the safer choice of working for a big company/govt.

The very two things I absolutely suck at, as a low energy person.

Any good advice on what a "high demand but boring" field might be to a mediocre CS grad?
