Exactly. Furthermore, for this specific reason, AGI is not an objective term, but subjective: it is in my mind, I give you agency; only interacting with each other we invented a concept of agency

I use O&O ShutUp10++ to completely get rid of OneDrive and other annoying Microsoft tools from the recent version of Windows.

100% true. It is only ego that makes people think we are "unique" and different to AI. If one plugs current AI into a body with external stimuli such as wishing to mate, eat, etc, then the external observer will not be able to spot a difference.

Our minds are in fact same statistical models with a gradually declining ability to learn and driven by exogenous irrational goals to eat and mate.

Great product, we have been using it for already a few month in our company. Lots of insights on the data. I would also love to see different time frames for the data comparison, i.e. compare week to week, or month to month, instead of having only day-to-day comparison.

Anyway, good luck!

The problem with all these no-code/low-code tools is that they are not Turing complete. Wherever you need to do something custom, you have to write code.

> Do any of you folks get paid good money to start projects?

I would argue with this thesis. There is a whole market of templates: themeforest, wrapbootstrap, template monster, creative-tim, flatlogic (my company) and others.

Templates are solely used to start the project, so I would say that the market is large
