Very limited thinking about challenges that are derivative to this time in history.

These used to be hard things that the author listed, and a potential next evolution from 1 minute of abstract thinking on my own:

1. "Building a financial model to compare recent S-1 filings?" - Build a bigger model to do a larger and hopefully more accurate/conclusive model.

2. "Photoshopping recent presidents onto Mount Rushmore?" - Make a physical model of recent presidents on mt Rushmore.

3. "Turning this essay into a song in the style of 2000's Hip Hop?" - Make a song that people actually give a shit about.

Like cmon folks, none of these seemingly hard things were actually all that useful for humanity, but rather just a task that was put in front of us because of the environment we were/are in.

Pre and post ai-boom; most software I interact with is dog shit. Not much has changed there other than speed.
