I'm currently doing this right now. Living out of a 38L backpack while coding an app living out of hostels in SEA. I have 3 pairs of shorts, 4 t shirts, 1 pair of vans, 1 pair of nike trail runners, laptop, bose headphones, toiletries, 2 hats, and thats pretty much it.
> You're constantly making and throwing away relationships. I found this the hardest part.
very true. it's harder to keep in contact with freinds who you make deeper connections with. But whats the alternative, to not make them in the first place?
> Your lifestyle is subsidized by society. You depend on other people and services to make it work. You either have to eat out all the time or make many small trips to grocery stores and rent places with furnished kitchens. There is no self reliance, no preparation for things to go wrong besides saving money and hoping you can buy your way out.
True, I eat out every meal, have a membership at a coworking space, and either go for runs or use public outdoor gyms for exercise.

Not being glib, but this is like the famous comment when dropbox was first announced: "you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem". [1]
You might say, "but chatGPT is already as dead simple an interface as you can imagine". And the answer to that is, for specific tasks, no general interface is ever specific enough. So imagine you want to use this to create "headshots" or "linkedin bio photos" from random pictures of yourself. A bespoke interface, with options you haven't even considered already thought through for you, and some quality control/revisions baked into the process, is something someone might pay for.
