ChatGPT has at least been trained on a variety of textual musical notations. It will generate chord charts or drum patterns. In the past I've asked it to generate chord progressions demonstrating various music theory concepts.
It would be cool - 'haps - to use one of the many music/accompaniment algorithms available, adding "nuisance" or "humanness" through AI, creating a virtual musician.-
I always say that as a developer, I'll be one of the first to die come the apocalypse. I'll be the useless guy with nothing to trade and no survival skills.
Ok, I'll need coders after the apocalypse and you can't just make someone a laborer that hasn't done that their whole life, that's not how that works. No gym fit is farmer fit enough.

You can, my brother and I worked on my Uncle's farm over the summmers for at least ages 14-18 and had no special "laborer" training, we went from high school classes to slopping hog, feeding cows, stacking hay, etc. Sore muscles and blisters are the norm for the first few weeks, but it doesn't take long for muscles to adapt and callouses to form.
My grandpa lived through the depression. As a kid, I noticed he would meticulously clean every scrap of food off his plate. My mom explained what they'd lived through and how he couldn't bring himself to waste anything.
I'm recently diagnosed and I experience the same. Listening to someone in a crowded room takes a ton of effort because my brain wants to track all of the other conversations and noises.
I show lots of interest in what my kids are interested in. They like to share video gaming progress, funny memes etc. It gives us an open pathway to communicating about other things going on in their lives.
Scratch is fun, and has the community element that kids expect and love these days. My sons have both enjoyed learning to program with it and explore what other kids have made.
So my brother works in the pawn business but he has a side hustle that does asset management stuff. I’ve passively watched some of the stuff he does and what a bunch of these small businesses do. Wild live auctions on Facebook live, lots of wholesale stuff through various channels, etc. anyway the margins are pretty slim in this industry so pretty much all of the existing services are out of the question. So I’m thinking being somewhere between Shopify and eBay, but make the pricing model competitive enough that these types of businesses will actually use a service tailored to serve these markets. The current market I think this could work in is Gold/Silver businesses that operate as more of a side hustle/hobby than a full blown broker.
