Sure. Just saying that over the last few months you've been expending a lot of energy evangelising the idea of toiling at startups for equity and learning opportunities while trying to smear contract work (which I think you used to do, so...)

It only matters how it seems.

It's easy to pick up new skills, particularly when rapidly moving from place to place. It doesn't require a patron. You just need to feed your own curiosity about how things work. That is actually easier to do when not in full-time work.

Yeah, I would say ML would be hard to break into. I also wonder whether there will be a significant pay-off. Seems that only a small number of companies pay more than lip service to it and mostly it is just augmenting features.

Agree that skills can rot if you don't put work in. Though I always felt that in permanent work - employers always want to keep you doing what you know.

I'm currently in finance though, and actually creating low latency real-time GUIs with 100s of updates a second is requiring me to go into a lot of depth with everything I do. Not super interesting but there is less room for error than there would otherwise be.

My personal plan is to take an edge by doing more in Rust and then using this as leverage into future WebAssembly work (for performance) as I have already pointed myself in this direction. (Easier than turning around and becoming a junior ML engineer at late-stage career.)
