Ground Zero complete — both modules done. What AI is, and The 2026 landscape. That's the lot.
What you've got now
- Mental model — pattern matching, not magic (Lesson 7)
- 2026 product map — chat, thinking, research, images, rent vs open-weight
- Privacy habits — red/amber/green, settings checked (Lesson 8)
- UI literacy — features found beyond the chat box (Lesson 9)
- Evidence — your comparison-lab winner log (Lesson 10)
- Policy — toolkit card + subscription audit (Lesson 11)
- Direction — Jarvis in plain English, my proof, the full path map (this lesson)
That's genuinely enough to use rented AI on purpose — and to understand why building your own stack is the next chapter.
Keep using
- Your toolkit card, while you're still renting.
- The lab rules, every time you test in a cloud app.
- Example Ink (or your own fictional shop) for practice data.
What's next
- Quick check (next page) — five questions.
- Path overview — appears below the quiz when you pass; Continue to Off the Grid is the main button.
- Off the Grid (free — four lessons) — Why local matters → install → chat → offline proof.
You don't need my permission to keep experimenting. What you needed was the map, the comparison and a bit of honesty about renting — and you've got all three now. Everything from here is "what do you want to build first?" — and that's a far better question to be sitting with.
Continue — to the quiz.
