I have a problem. The past few months have been some of the most productive of my life. I'd love to do this forever. But I'm worried that attempting to extract money will kill some of the magic. Ideas: - an AI merch store - high-quality writeups + shill on patreon - funding

I see my role as "help normal devs get into AI." I was a normal dev. Now I do AI. What do I wish I'd known when I started? That's what I plan to write. But money makes things tricky.

Example: I'm a TFRC member. If I accept donations, does that become a conflict of interest? If the answer seems like "Obviously not," suppose I offer a patreon reward tier: "I'll train a model for you on a dataset of your choosing." Not so clear cut anymore!

But more than any of this, I just don't want to lose you guys. I have the best followers in the world. I don't want to become another "dude selling something". I don't want people to feel like I'm doing this for the money. I genuinely love seeing people get into AI. That's it.
