OMG i can’t believe AI just made this animation for me on AMD + Meta’s deal. AI is getting SOOOOOOO good. I’ll be keeping updates in my skool community, linked below.
If your mind hasn’t been blown lately on AI I don’t know what to tell ya. GrokBot and Muse are unreal
Typing to AI felt so long. Upgrading to voice was a huge unlock. Now even talking feels so long. Humans' latency in conveying ideas is so freaking slow. I wish I could just think, and AI knew what I was asking. Will Neuralink solve this?

I get it. I've done it plenty of times. Someone posts about a thing they're launching, and I think to myself, Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to buy that. But then, well, life happens. And then when I finally remember to get around to it, the opportunity has passed me by, and I have to live with the devastating loss of what could have been. I want better for you. So this is me doing my best to make sure that months from now, in case Be Rich Now is taking the world by storm as one of the most talked-about books of the year, you aren't sitting around kicking yourself for missing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a first edition copy (along with the other Kickstarter exclusive bonuses). If you want to avoid that nightmare scenario, today is the day. ​Shoot your shot. Buy the book. And let's win together. I often say that I'm in the regret minimization business. In many ways, this book is a field guide to doing exactly that. If you buy it today, you can tell people you were there from the beginning. It's like seeing the Grammy-winning band that sells out stadiums in the dive bar before they were famous. Worst case, your money goes directly to support veterans on the healing journey, and you get a damn good book. To everyone who has already supported the launch, thank you. I appreciate you. I can't wait for you to read it. And if you haven't, no hard feelings. Maybe you want to wait for one-day shipping on Amazon. Maybe you don't want to read it at all. That's ok, too. ​ But if you've been planning on it and haven't pulled the trigger yet, as you'll learn in the book, now is the time. P.S. Since Monday, when I announced that I was donating the proceeds from the final hours of the campaign to the Wisdom Dojo, we've raised $7,891. That means we get to support 4 new veterans through a year of meditation training. But here's the final challenge: I want to double that today. Will you help me get there? 👉 Get it here and secure your place in history:

Built this today at Grok Bot Galaxy — The Howard, SF. Camelot - Bot Theme Bootstrap is a public Grok Bot Theme Template: first open self-brands (name + portrait GIF), auto-census every seat, then roster + next steps same turn. Camelot default, theme-swappable. Whole Round Table, not one loner bot. @grok @bot

I filmed a video yesterday. Today my editor showed me an AI edit of it... Honestly? Better than what we’re making right now 🤯
This mistake will kill your videos on YouTube. Once I figured this out, I was able to get way more views, and it's annoyingly obvious once you realise it. I've achieved millions of views on YouTube, this is an incredibly important idea to get your head around, if you want to do well on the platform. So, what's the big groundbreaking revelation? Assume the viewer does not know who you are. This is incredibly important. A video that does well for you inherently has to reach new audiences. Not just the ones who already get your inside jokes and know you. That’s why inside references on a YouTube thumbnail is risky. Take this All-In Summit thumbnail with JD Vance. The title is topic first: AI, fraud, Iran. Clear for a stranger scrolling past, I'm okay with this title, that's not to say there's no room for improvement BUT The biggest words on the thumb are “THE BESTIES.” If you already watch All-In, you know that means the hosts. If you don’t, it’s a nickname with no meaning. You’ve used the biggest text on the pack for people who already know you. These are also the easiest people to get to click on your video. You probably could have written anything there, and they would have clicked with such a big guest. But new new audiences won’t understand it. And if the thumbnail packaging only makes sense for existing fans, it’s less accessible to strangers. That usually means it’s less likely to get pushed as far, so your video won't get as many views. Don’t spend the biggest thumbnail words on an inside reference. Make the packaging accessible for someone who has never heard of you, this will help you get more views. I've put everything I know about YouTube into an 8 week course on how to grow and monetise a YouTube channel. if you'd like to know more about it, follow me + Comment “YouTube" below @Jason @DavidSacks @chamath @friedberg

It's a little bit better, but you don't want to repeat JD Vance on AI fraud etc, when that's already in the title. You have two opportunities to get people to click. Don't repeat the same message. add to it. Also, you've made the hosts black and white now, so the thumbnail is more dim than before. You want it to be bright to stand out.

I don’t advertise. I refuse sponsors. I almost never recommend anyone. So when I tell you to follow @DavidCarbutt_ for YouTube guidance, take it seriously. His advice has that rare quality where it feels obvious the second you hear it and you immediately wonder why you weren’t already doing it. The examples below are that kind of obvious. He’s the real deal. He didn’t ask me to say this. I havnt spoken to him in over a year. I respect his craft. 🥃

In the past month, literally everything I do in my business now goes through Grokbot
I loaded the boat on AMD last year, at an average price of $137 per share. Just sold some to buy some SpaceX. SpaceX president, Gwynne Shotwell, was just asked about demand. 'We see no drop in demand at all' Elon predicts $100B of ARR by the end of 2026, perhaps $300B by the end of 2027. $AMD

I’m looking for someone who is shit hot to help me with marketing and sales for my business! If you’re interested or know anyone, please drop a comment below!
Last week, I was in the UK with @realartlaffer who masterfully explained (video) and debated the simple logic behind The Laffer Curve: raising tax rates lowers the incentive to work and invest. From today’s levels in the UK, higher rates will result in lower tax revenues.

The title that got us 2.4 million views came from a completely different niche. An essential part of making videos on YouTube is the thumbnail and title formula. You can have the most amazing video with great content, editing and production but if you can't grab people's attention in the first place, your video isn't going to do well. There are well known formulas that give you decent results but every niche gets to a point where everyone looks and sounds the same especially in this AI era. When people plan their next thumbnail and title, they only look at their competitors, which is fine, but your video won't stand out from anything around it. So look at completely different industries instead. Find videos with millions of views and strong engagement, take those formulas and apply them to your next video. That's how we got 2.4 million views on one video. I copied the idea from motivational speaker videos. I was benchmarking other niches and noticed the same phrase kept showing up on the best performing videos. "Michael Jordan's most motivational speech left audience speechless". "Kobe Bryant left audience speechless". The same words, just talking about a different person. Then I found another one. Important person stuns important person. We used both for a client in the tech and business space: Joe Rogan Leaves Audience Speechless on Elon Musk — 2.4 million views Elon Musk Stuns Jordan Peterson — 5.6 million views Elon Musk Stuns Joe Rogan — 3.1 million views Nobody in that niche was using either of them. It’s one of the easiest wins on YouTube and it costs you nothing but an hour of browsing. I've put everything I know about YouTube into a course. It's on Skool, so you can share your work and interact with the other members plus you've got lifetime access. Follow me + comment 'YouTube' and I'll send you the details.
