Two years ago, I was applying to a PhD program. During the interview, I shared an idea with a potential advisor — a fusion of AI and personal manufacturing. He completely disagreed, said it was mathematically incompatible, and dismissed it outright. I didn’t get into the program, ended up as an RA instead (which, in hindsight, was a blessing — gave me time to dive into crypto), and eventually switched to a master’s track. I moved to NYC and left school early.
Today, I wrapped up a small side project — no agenda, just to test a personal theory. I got an AI bot to work for personal fabrication. It works.
Sometimes, you just have to trust yourself. Not institutions. Not experts. Just you. 1 reply
