Ideas are indeed cheap, however, wisdom is what you do with them. It is the actioning of the right ideas.
I planned a story once, walking around the shire and researching online.
I thought, if I could plan an epic novel, a story to tell my kids, what would it be?
To walk to China in 1001 days. 6 miles/day. 1001 stories.
I trained for it, planned routes, tasks along the way, walked for a few years with a 20Kg pack listening to TTS voice recordings from Wiki on MP3 about AI and assembly coding, a marathon/day for 9 days at the end, put together a website with little ‘Sora style’ GIFs entirely generated with code.
Created all of this before LLMs. ^^
In the end it turned into ‘Just a Prompt’. I caught a flight after being offered a job there on my Birthday, came back 10 years later.
Here is something I found when researching back then, this guy from Germany did something similar a few years prior to my planned trip:
