I made an email share widget (Singularity) | Build in public E131

This is my daily update for my build and This is my daily update for my build and This is my daily update for my build and public log. I had a couple of public log. I had a couple of public log. I had a couple of complaints, which I think, let me just show you. You which I think, let me just show you. You which I think, let me just show you. You know, it’s really crazy looking. I did know, it’s really crazy looking. I did know, it’s really crazy looking. I did this all intentionally like that. That’s this all intentionally like that. That’s this all intentionally like that. That’s just kind of the just kind of the just kind of the design I I I went for. And couple people design I I I went for. And couple people design I I I went for. And couple people complained, but one person emailed me complained, but one person emailed me complained, but one person emailed me and said, “Uh, that doesn’t work for and said, “Uh, that doesn’t work for and said, “Uh, that doesn’t work for colorblind people.” I’m like, “Oh my colorblind people.” I’m like, “Oh my colorblind people.” I’m like, “Oh my god.” Okay, fine. And then, uh, this is god.” Okay, fine. And then, uh, this is god.” Okay, fine. And then, uh, this is kind of funny. My mom complained. So, of kind of funny. My mom complained. So, of kind of funny.

And you know, mom, of course, is there to support me. So, she course, is there to support me. So, she course, is there to support me. So, she she signs up and then she complains and she signs up and then she complains and she signs up and then she complains and says, I can’t read the text. It’s so it says, I can’t read the text. It’s so it says, I can’t read the text. It’s so it burns my eyes. I I went with this burns my eyes. I I went with this burns my eyes. I I went with this because um I kind of wanted it to be because um I kind of wanted it to be because um I kind of wanted it to be painful. I kind of don’t want you to um painful. I kind of don’t want you to um painful. I kind of don’t want you to um lurk in the email. Like, it’s just kind lurk in the email. Like, it’s just kind lurk in the email. Like, it’s just kind of a little blurb. Just click the of a little blurb. Just click the of a little blurb. Just click the button. By the way, this is really cool. I I By the way, this is really cool. I I By the way, this is really cool. I I highly recommend checking out um today’s highly recommend checking out um today’s highly recommend checking out um today’s I highly recommend checking out today’s I highly recommend checking out today’s I highly recommend checking out today’s uh link. It’s uh pretty cool. The uh link. It’s uh pretty cool. The uh link. It’s uh pretty cool. The intention is not really for you to be intention is not really for you to be intention is not really for you to be lurking in the emails like go click the lurking in the emails like go click the lurking in the emails like go click the link and and get out. But then if link and and get out. But then if link and and get out. But then if there’s a sponsorship here, obviously I there’s a sponsorship here, obviously I there’s a sponsorship here, obviously I want them to look at it. So anyways, I I want them to look at it. So anyways, I I want them to look at it. So anyways, I I was like fine, let me redesign the damn was like fine, let me redesign the damn was like fine, let me redesign the damn thing because I was already working on thing because I was already working on thing because I was already working on the next version of the email. Anyways, the next version of the email. Anyways, the next version of the email. Anyways, I’m working on the the new template here I’m working on the the new template here I’m working on the the new template here and had AI help me do like how I’m like and had AI help me do like how I’m like and had AI help me do like how I’m like how do I make it accessible? Like cuz how do I make it accessible? Like cuz how do I make it accessible? Like cuz yeah, fine. Like accessibility, can you yeah, fine. Like accessibility, can you yeah, fine. Like accessibility, can you even do accessibility in emails? Turns even do accessibility in emails? Turns even do accessibility in emails? Turns out you can. I actually didn’t know out you can. I actually didn’t know out you can. I actually didn’t know about that cuz I never really gave that about that cuz I never really gave that about that cuz I never really gave that too much thought. My thinking here’s the too much thought. My thinking here’s the too much thought. My thinking here’s the here’s the here’s the here’s my dilemma here’s the here’s the here’s my dilemma here’s the here’s the here’s my dilemma with my email newsletter. There’s so with my email newsletter. There’s so with my email newsletter. There’s so many random URLs crazy [  ] across the many random URLs crazy [  ] across the many random URLs crazy [  ] across the internet. A lot of stuff is not going to internet. A lot of stuff is not going to internet. A lot of stuff is not going to be optimized for people with with with, be optimized for people with with with, be optimized for people with with with, you know, visual impairment and stuff. you know, visual impairment and stuff. you know, visual impairment and stuff. It’s going to be like crazy weird art It’s going to be like crazy weird art It’s going to be like crazy weird art experiments, little weird funny art experiments, little weird funny art experiments, little weird funny art things, random crappy websites. It’s things, random crappy websites. It’s things, random crappy websites. It’s going to be a lot of weird stuff. So, a going to be a lot of weird stuff. So, a going to be a lot of weird stuff. So, a lot of it’s not going to be optimized lot of it’s not going to be optimized lot of it’s not going to be optimized for for people with disabilities. So, I for for people with disabilities. So, I for for people with disabilities. So, I don’t know. I was like, does that does I don’t know. I was like, does that does I don’t know. I was like, does that does I thought does it matter? I was like, thought does it matter? I was like, thought does it matter? I was like, “Fine, let me change it. Make it better “Fine, let me change it. Make it better “Fine, let me change it. Make it better because I do eventually want sponsorship because I do eventually want sponsorship because I do eventually want sponsorship and they a sponsor may not sponsor it. and they a sponsor may not sponsor it. and they a sponsor may not sponsor it. It looks too [  ] crazy. People won’t It looks too [  ] crazy. People won’t It looks too [  ] crazy. People won’t be able to read that.” Anyways, I was be able to read that.” Anyways, I was be able to read that.” Anyways, I was already in here working on this. I was already in here working on this. I was already in here working on this. I was like, “Fine, let me update the damn like, “Fine, let me update the damn like, “Fine, let me update the damn colors.” But um colors.” But um colors.” But um but I was like, “Yeah.” So, it begins. but I was like, “Yeah.” So, it begins. but I was like, “Yeah.” So, it begins. I’m working on this and I got this I’m working on this and I got this I’m working on this and I got this working. This is actually pretty cool. working. This is actually pretty cool. working. This is actually pretty cool. So, I want people to So, I want people to So, I want people to share the newsletter. Here is the share the newsletter. Here is the share the newsletter. Here is the dilemma. I did this before in my last dilemma. I did this before in my last dilemma. I did this before in my last newsletter, but the problem I had is all newsletter, but the problem I had is all newsletter, but the problem I had is all of these after a while, all these bots of these after a while, all these bots of these after a while, all these bots start subscribing to your newsletter. start subscribing to your newsletter. start subscribing to your newsletter. It’s like, what are the bots doing with It’s like, what are the bots doing with It’s like, what are the bots doing with the content? Who the [  ] knows? There’s the content? Who the [  ] knows? There’s the content? Who the [  ] knows? There’s like aggregators. There’s things to like aggregators. There’s things to like aggregators. There’s things to watch. Like, so many weird bots that watch. Like, so many weird bots that watch. Like, so many weird bots that that that subscribe to newsletters and that that subscribe to newsletters and that that subscribe to newsletters and read the HTML, consume it, and do read the HTML, consume it, and do read the HTML, consume it, and do something. And one of the things that a something. And one of the things that a something. And one of the things that a lot of these bots do is they will click lot of these bots do is they will click lot of these bots do is they will click every single link. So I I I did this every single link. So I I I did this every single link. So I I I did this before. I had like share buttons and I before. I had like share buttons and I before. I had like share buttons and I tried to track, okay, how many people tried to track, okay, how many people tried to track, okay, how many people are sharing, who’s sharing where. It was are sharing, who’s sharing where. It was are sharing, who’s sharing where. It was impossible because the bots would hit impossible because the bots would hit impossible because the bots would hit every single button in the share, you every single button in the share, you every single button in the share, you know, fire off, you know, use some of know, fire off, you know, use some of know, fire off, you know, use some of your compute, you know, uh to because it your compute, you know, uh to because it your compute, you know, uh to because it had to do some stuff on the back end, had to do some stuff on the back end, had to do some stuff on the back end, kill the analytics, and it was really kill the analytics, and it was really kill the analytics, and it was really really frustrating. So, I was like, really frustrating. So, I was like, really frustrating. So, I was like, “This time I need to fix this.” Like, I “This time I need to fix this.” Like, I “This time I need to fix this.” Like, I need to like do this, right? So, what I need to like do this, right? So, what I need to like do this, right? So, what I came up with is came up with is came up with is uh a sneaky little trick. So, how did I do this? Um, when you So, how did I do this? Um, when you So, how did I do this? Um, when you click that button, it hits an API click that button, it hits an API click that button, it hits an API endpoint which redirects to the actual endpoint which redirects to the actual endpoint which redirects to the actual share. So like you know all all all share. So like you know all all all share. So like you know all all all platforms like Twitter, Facebook, platforms like Twitter, Facebook, platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, you know like LinkedIn even they Reddit, you know like LinkedIn even they Reddit, you know like LinkedIn even they all have a special URL to share like all have a special URL to share like all have a special URL to share like this is x.com/int this is x.com/int this is x.com/int post all of them have like this like post all of them have like this like post all of them have like this like share URL where you pass a URL to it and share URL where you pass a URL to it and share URL where you pass a URL to it and then it you know puts it in the box then it you know puts it in the box then it you know puts it in the box prefills prefills same with an email SMS prefills prefills same with an email SMS prefills prefills same with an email SMS so on and so on. um that those are so on and so on. um that those are so on and so on. um that those are well-known URLs like the the it’s not well-known URLs like the the it’s not well-known URLs like the the it’s not hard to do this but like how can I how hard to do this but like how can I how hard to do this but like how can I how can I intercept before it goes there and can I intercept before it goes there and can I intercept before it goes there and check that they’re not a bot. So the way check that they’re not a bot. So the way check that they’re not a bot. So the way I did it was it goes through Cloudflare I did it was it goes through Cloudflare I did it was it goes through Cloudflare and I set up a rule in Cloudflare to and I set up a rule in Cloudflare to and I set up a rule in Cloudflare to when it’s that URL like API/Share, when it’s that URL like API/Share, when it’s that URL like API/Share, it only it only it only like actually goes through if if you’re like actually goes through if if you’re like actually goes through if if you’re if you’re not a bot. Like if it suspects if you’re not a bot. Like if it suspects if you’re not a bot. Like if it suspects you’re a bot, you have to click the you’re a bot, you have to click the you’re a bot, you have to click the little thing I’m not a bot. And then little thing I’m not a bot. And then little thing I’m not a bot. And then finally it continues on and on the back finally it continues on and on the back finally it continues on and on the back end it does a check to see like is and end it does a check to see like is and end it does a check to see like is and I’m really really hoping now um I could I’m really really hoping now um I could I’m really really hoping now um I could get analytics. So the idea is obviously get analytics. So the idea is obviously get analytics. So the idea is obviously you know call the analytics and and have you know call the analytics and and have you know call the analytics and and have better visibility on that. So this is a better visibility on that. So this is a better visibility on that. So this is a this is a problem I ran into. I don’t this is a problem I ran into. I don’t this is a problem I ran into. I don’t see any I I see like no newsletters see any I I see like no newsletters see any I I see like no newsletters having share buttons. It’s actually having share buttons. It’s actually having share buttons. It’s actually fascinating to me and I I’m almost fascinating to me and I I’m almost fascinating to me and I I’m almost wondering if I’ve stumbled upon a little wondering if I’ve stumbled upon a little wondering if I’ve stumbled upon a little micro sass because uh I think it’s crazy micro sass because uh I think it’s crazy micro sass because uh I think it’s crazy that like you that people are doing this that like you that people are doing this that like you that people are doing this more. You can grow your damn newsletter more. You can grow your damn newsletter more. You can grow your damn newsletter like a lot a lot of my growth from my like a lot a lot of my growth from my like a lot a lot of my growth from my previous one came from doing this from previous one came from doing this from previous one came from doing this from people sharing and organic growth. So it people sharing and organic growth. So it people sharing and organic growth. So it boggles my mind people like every boggles my mind people like every boggles my mind people like every there’s a reason why you see the damn there’s a reason why you see the damn there’s a reason why you see the damn share button on everything on the share button on everything on the share button on everything on the internet. It’s because that works. that internet. It’s because that works. that internet. It’s because that works. that actually has worked. Like things can go actually has worked. Like things can go actually has worked. Like things can go viral, things get shared, there’s viral, things get shared, there’s viral, things get shared, there’s organic growth. So, I I’m wondering if I organic growth. So, I I’m wondering if I organic growth. So, I I’m wondering if I like am on to an idea here where maybe like am on to an idea here where maybe like am on to an idea here where maybe and there was been a lot of like SAS and there was been a lot of like SAS and there was been a lot of like SAS businesses where you have this little businesses where you have this little businesses where you have this little share widget and you can embed it. Maybe share widget and you can embed it. Maybe share widget and you can embed it. Maybe I need to make that for email and have I need to make that for email and have I need to make that for email and have all these sneaky little tricks to to all these sneaky little tricks to to all these sneaky little tricks to to block those goddamn bots because they block those goddamn bots because they block those goddamn bots because they kill the analytics. You don’t know who’s kill the analytics. You don’t know who’s kill the analytics. You don’t know who’s tracking what. There’s a lot of money tracking what. There’s a lot of money tracking what. There’s a lot of money surprisingly in there’s a there was an surprisingly in there’s a there was an surprisingly in there’s a there was an old service. It’s still around. It’s old service. It’s still around. It’s old service. It’s still around. It’s called bit.ly you know it’s like the URL called bit.ly you know it’s like the URL called bit.ly you know it’s like the URL shortener because you would put a URL shortener because you would put a URL shortener because you would put a URL shortener and then that person who made shortener and then that person who made shortener and then that person who made the link can get all sorts of stats and the link can get all sorts of stats and the link can get all sorts of stats and see like who you know a lot of great see like who you know a lot of great see like who you know a lot of great analytics. There’s a new version of that analytics. There’s a new version of that analytics. There’s a new version of that that’s quite popular nowadays. I I mean that’s quite popular nowadays. I I mean that’s quite popular nowadays. I I mean this there’s money in this [  ] So I’m this there’s money in this [  ] So I’m this there’s money in this [  ] So I’m I’m really wondering if this is like an I’m really wondering if this is like an I’m really wondering if this is like an business idea. I don’t know. What do you business idea. I don’t know. What do you business idea. I don’t know. What do you think? Um, I think it’s quite cool. I’m think? Um, I think it’s quite cool. I’m think? Um, I think it’s quite cool. I’m just doing this for myself, but I was just doing this for myself, but I was just doing this for myself, but I was like, “Huh, why don’t other newsletters like, “Huh, why don’t other newsletters like, “Huh, why don’t other newsletters do this? I don’t ever see this.” And you do this? I don’t ever see this.” And you do this? I don’t ever see this.” And you might be wondering like, “What the hell might be wondering like, “What the hell might be wondering like, “What the hell do you actually share?” Okay, so I’ll do you actually share?” Okay, so I’ll do you actually share?” Okay, so I’ll give it some thought cuz I I want to try give it some thought cuz I I want to try give it some thought cuz I I want to try to focus. So, what else am I working on? to focus. So, what else am I working on? to focus. So, what else am I working on? Um, agent codes here. My AI agents. I Um, agent codes here. My AI agents. I Um, agent codes here. My AI agents. I I’m I’m I’m I I’ve just not done anything to this in I I’ve just not done anything to this in I I’ve just not done anything to this in quite a while. A lot of stuff is broken. quite a while. A lot of stuff is broken. quite a while. A lot of stuff is broken. Um there’s a bunch of things I need to Um there’s a bunch of things I need to Um there’s a bunch of things I need to fix to get working again. I need to fix to get working again. I need to fix to get working again. I need to point to new models. I have neglected it point to new models. I have neglected it point to new models. I have neglected it because no one’s using it. I’m trying to because no one’s using it. I’m trying to because no one’s using it. I’m trying to validate I’m I’m trying to figure out validate I’m I’m trying to figure out validate I’m I’m trying to figure out how and how to sell this and who to sell how and how to sell this and who to sell how and how to sell this and who to sell this to. So, my hypothesis, and I talked this to. So, my hypothesis, and I talked this to. So, my hypothesis, and I talked about this before, about this before, about this before, is there’s all of these people doing is there’s all of these people doing is there’s all of these people doing automation out there, like now it’s automation out there, like now it’s automation out there, like now it’s really popular to have an AI automation really popular to have an AI automation really popular to have an AI automation agency, okay? They hustle and they go agency, okay? They hustle and they go agency, okay? They hustle and they go get deals and they figure out what to get deals and they figure out what to get deals and they figure out what to automate at businesses. Um, ironically automate at businesses. Um, ironically automate at businesses. Um, ironically enough, most of what people are finding enough, most of what people are finding enough, most of what people are finding and automating, you could have done this and automating, you could have done this and automating, you could have done this for the last 10 years using tools like for the last 10 years using tools like for the last 10 years using tools like NAD. You do not need even AI for a lot NAD. You do not need even AI for a lot NAD. You do not need even AI for a lot of things to automate. And uh, so people of things to automate. And uh, so people of things to automate. And uh, so people are quickly discovering like you don’t are quickly discovering like you don’t are quickly discovering like you don’t even need LLMs like you or maybe you even need LLMs like you or maybe you even need LLMs like you or maybe you just want little piece, but just regular just want little piece, but just regular just want little piece, but just regular old integration and automation and old integration and automation and old integration and automation and gluing things together works really gluing things together works really gluing things together works really well. My thinking is there’s this well. My thinking is there’s this well. My thinking is there’s this there’s this cottage industry that has there’s this cottage industry that has there’s this cottage industry that has popped up where you know there’s like a popped up where you know there’s like a popped up where you know there’s like a supply chain now you have like the model supply chain now you have like the model supply chain now you have like the model providers so you know anthropic you have providers so you know anthropic you have providers so you know anthropic you have like Google you have uh open AI that like Google you have uh open AI that like Google you have uh open AI that like it’s it’s almost becoming like it’s it’s almost becoming like it’s it’s almost becoming commoditized you have this API where hey commoditized you have this API where hey commoditized you have this API where hey call the LLM you have things like inadin call the LLM you have things like inadin call the LLM you have things like inadin who are building all this tooling that who are building all this tooling that who are building all this tooling that you know there’s like they charge for you know there’s like they charge for you know there’s like they charge for for a cloud instance there are um for a cloud instance there are um for a cloud instance there are um agencies now so there’s a whole supply agencies now so there’s a whole supply agencies now so there’s a whole supply chain growing around automating chain growing around automating chain growing around automating everything. My belief is that my everything. My belief is that my everything. My belief is that my hypothesis is that these automation hypothesis is that these automation hypothesis is that these automation engineers or let’s just say you’re a engineers or let’s just say you’re a engineers or let’s just say you’re a freelance. I’ve talked to people who are freelance. I’ve talked to people who are freelance. I’ve talked to people who are doing doing this. They’re just a single doing doing this. They’re just a single doing doing this. They’re just a single solo person and they’re getting all solo person and they’re getting all solo person and they’re getting all these clients and they’re automating all these clients and they’re automating all these clients and they’re automating all these things. They need to just go in these things. They need to just go in these things. They need to just go in and deal with the customers, get the and deal with the customers, get the and deal with the customers, get the customers, uh, quickly solve problems, customers, uh, quickly solve problems, customers, uh, quickly solve problems, unlock value for those companies. Their unlock value for those companies. Their unlock value for those companies. Their their job is not to maintain agents, you their job is not to maintain agents, you their job is not to maintain agents, you know, to fix errors, to iteratively make know, to fix errors, to iteratively make know, to fix errors, to iteratively make them better, uh, add features, you know, them better, uh, add features, you know, them better, uh, add features, you know, switch try out new models, uh, run switch try out new models, uh, run switch try out new models, uh, run evals, like, you know, spin them up, evals, like, you know, spin them up, evals, like, you know, spin them up, manage them. They’re they they need help manage them. They’re they they need help manage them. They’re they they need help with that. Yes, there’s a lot of things with that. Yes, there’s a lot of things with that. Yes, there’s a lot of things that people are doing in it. They’re that people are doing in it. They’re that people are doing in it. They’re they’re making agents and trying to they’re making agents and trying to they’re making agents and trying to build infrastructure to make flexible build infrastructure to make flexible build infrastructure to make flexible agents. They can only do so much. agents. They can only do so much. agents. They can only do so much. Sometimes you need real code. It’s my Sometimes you need real code. It’s my Sometimes you need real code. It’s my hypothesis, my theory that freelancers, hypothesis, my theory that freelancers, hypothesis, my theory that freelancers, they need very high quality precision AI they need very high quality precision AI they need very high quality precision AI agents that that just work that are agents that that just work that are agents that that just work that are always getting better. There’s there’s always getting better. There’s there’s always getting better. There’s there’s errors. There’s a lot of retrying. errors. There’s a lot of retrying. errors. There’s a lot of retrying. There’s a lot of thought in a lot of There’s a lot of thought in a lot of There’s a lot of thought in a lot of work to make the agent work really well, work to make the agent work really well, work to make the agent work really well, do that one task really well. That’s my do that one task really well. That’s my do that one task really well. That’s my hypothesis. So, I’ve just stopped hypothesis. So, I’ve just stopped hypothesis. So, I’ve just stopped working because I want to conf Why why working because I want to conf Why why working because I want to conf Why why why keep building [  ] nobody wants? why keep building [  ] nobody wants? why keep building [  ] nobody wants? Like I’ll never be successful. So my So Like I’ll never be successful. So my So Like I’ll never be successful. So my So what I’m starting to do is go find what I’m starting to do is go find what I’m starting to do is go find people who are doing this stuff. Talk to people who are doing this stuff. Talk to people who are doing this stuff. Talk to them, figure it out. Is this something them, figure it out. Is this something them, figure it out. Is this something somebody needs? Do they do they need it somebody needs? Do they do they need it somebody needs? Do they do they need it so bad they pay for it? I’m not I don’t so bad they pay for it? I’m not I don’t so bad they pay for it? I’m not I don’t want to continue working on this and I want to continue working on this and I want to continue working on this and I have it until I figure that out and I have it until I figure that out and I have it until I figure that out and I know exactly who I’m building for. I’m know exactly who I’m building for. I’m know exactly who I’m building for. I’m building for them. And what am I building for them. And what am I building for them. And what am I building? Like because this is all over building? Like because this is all over building? Like because this is all over the place. So I want these to all be the place. So I want these to all be the place. So I want these to all be agents that these agencies need to drop agents that these agencies need to drop agents that these agencies need to drop in a lot of different projects and they in a lot of different projects and they in a lot of different projects and they just call it when they need and they pay just call it when they need and they pay just call it when they need and they pay a small they they pay a small fee, maybe a small they they pay a small fee, maybe a small they they pay a small fee, maybe like $50 a month or something in credits like $50 a month or something in credits like $50 a month or something in credits and boom, that that little thing is and boom, that that little thing is and boom, that that little thing is taken care of. They don’t need to taken care of. They don’t need to taken care of. They don’t need to reinvent the wheel. It always gets reinvent the wheel. It always gets reinvent the wheel. It always gets better. Always points at the new models. better. Always points at the new models. better. Always points at the new models. the quality keeps going up. Doesn’t the quality keeps going up. Doesn’t the quality keeps going up. Doesn’t doesn’t fail mysteriously. Somebody’s on doesn’t fail mysteriously. Somebody’s on doesn’t fail mysteriously. Somebody’s on it. That’s somebody’s job. I have my it. That’s somebody’s job. I have my it. That’s somebody’s job. I have my first customer discovery call uh later first customer discovery call uh later first customer discovery call uh later later today. So, I’m going to get on a later today. So, I’m going to get on a later today. So, I’m going to get on a call with somebody and try to keep call with somebody and try to keep call with somebody and try to keep having these conversations in the coming having these conversations in the coming having these conversations in the coming weeks and figure out am I am I right? weeks and figure out am I am I right? weeks and figure out am I am I right? Maybe I’m wrong. And every little thing Maybe I’m wrong. And every little thing Maybe I’m wrong. And every little thing is bespoke and custom and they and no is bespoke and custom and they and no is bespoke and custom and they and no one needs that. Maybe no one [  ] one needs that. Maybe no one [  ] one needs that. Maybe no one [  ] needs that. But this tells me that there needs that. But this tells me that there needs that. But this tells me that there is a demand for agents. This tells me is a demand for agents. This tells me is a demand for agents. This tells me there is a huge demand for agents. And there is a huge demand for agents. And there is a huge demand for agents. And these agents [  ] suck. By the way, these agents [  ] suck. By the way, these agents [  ] suck. By the way, go use them if you don’t believe me. I go use them if you don’t believe me. I go use them if you don’t believe me. I am convinced that there’s a need for am convinced that there’s a need for am convinced that there’s a need for agents. I am convinced that there is a agents. I am convinced that there is a agents. I am convinced that there is a need for high precision, high quality need for high precision, high quality need for high precision, high quality agents. But for who? What agents? What agents. But for who? What agents? What agents. But for who? What agents? What do I build? I don’t know. I No one’s do I build? I don’t know. I No one’s do I build? I don’t know. I No one’s telling me. I I’m at my ends. like I telling me. I I’m at my ends. like I telling me. I I’m at my ends. like I just want my I just want a business. I just want my I just want a business. I just want my I just want a business. I just want to do this. No one’s I, you just want to do this. No one’s I, you just want to do this. No one’s I, you know, I I need to start getting these know, I I need to start getting these know, I I need to start getting these goddamn answers. I can’t find people to goddamn answers. I can’t find people to goddamn answers. I can’t find people to give me these answers. So, I’m just give me these answers. So, I’m just give me these answers. So, I’m just going to start cold emailing, messaging, going to start cold emailing, messaging, going to start cold emailing, messaging, getting people on calls, and just keep getting people on calls, and just keep getting people on calls, and just keep hammering away until I have these hammering away until I have these hammering away until I have these answers. Stay tuned. Um, more to come on answers. Stay tuned. Um, more to come on answers. Stay tuned. Um, more to come on that. But I do want to just go and fix that. But I do want to just go and fix that. But I do want to just go and fix all the various stuff that it that that all the various stuff that it that that all the various stuff that it that that I broke. I do want to get this demo I broke. I do want to get this demo I broke. I do want to get this demo ready. So, if I do get on a call and ready. So, if I do get on a call and ready. So, if I do get on a call and somebody’s like, “Hey, show me. Show me somebody’s like, “Hey, show me. Show me somebody’s like, “Hey, show me. Show me an agent working right now.” I think an agent working right now.” I think an agent working right now.” I think I’ll just get it working again because I I’ll just get it working again because I I’ll just get it working again because I broke some stuff and it’s like half broke some stuff and it’s like half broke some stuff and it’s like half working. I think I’ll do that. Keep working. I think I’ll do that. Keep working. I think I’ll do that. Keep doing the calls and go from there. So, doing the calls and go from there. So, doing the calls and go from there. So, that’s the plan. So, what do you think? that’s the plan. So, what do you think? that’s the plan. So, what do you think? Um, I would love to hear your feedback. Um, I would love to hear your feedback. Um, I would love to hear your feedback. And next week, I start a new freelance And next week, I start a new freelance And next week, I start a new freelance gig because I need money because I’m not gig because I need money because I’m not gig because I need money because I’m not doing the entrepreneur thing. I’m not doing the entrepreneur thing. I’m not doing the entrepreneur thing. I’m not making money. I don’t have customers. making money. I don’t have customers. making money. I don’t have customers. I’m not building [  ] people want. So, I I’m not building [  ] people want. So, I I’m not building [  ] people want. So, I I have no choice. I keep getting sucked I have no choice. I keep getting sucked I have no choice. I keep getting sucked back into that. Then I don’t work on the back into that. Then I don’t work on the back into that. Then I don’t work on the business very much. It’s a I’m in this business very much. It’s a I’m in this business very much. It’s a I’m in this vicious cycle. So, uh I’m only going to vicious cycle. So, uh I’m only going to vicious cycle. So, uh I’m only going to do like a week, maybe like 10day kind of do like a week, maybe like 10day kind of do like a week, maybe like 10day kind of project. So, not not a big one. Just to project. So, not not a big one. Just to project. So, not not a big one. Just to get a little bit of cash in to keep get a little bit of cash in to keep get a little bit of cash in to keep going because I spent a lot of money the going because I spent a lot of money the going because I spent a lot of money the last month. This month I went on last month. This month I went on last month. This month I went on vacation and I I need to just refill the vacation and I I need to just refill the vacation and I I need to just refill the the savings account a bit. So, I just I the savings account a bit. So, I just I the savings account a bit. So, I just I don’t want to detour too much, but I don’t want to detour too much, but I don’t want to detour too much, but I want to keep those calls going cuz it’s want to keep those calls going cuz it’s want to keep those calls going cuz it’s vital that I figure out what the hell vital that I figure out what the hell vital that I figure out what the hell people need so I can just go build it people need so I can just go build it people need so I can just go build it and make some damn money.

So, on to my random story for today. I like I’m I’m I’m putting for today. I like I’m I’m I’m putting for today. I like I’m I’m I’m putting content on YouTube, but I watch a lot of content on YouTube, but I watch a lot of content on YouTube, but I watch a lot of YouTube and I don’t watch Netflix. I YouTube and I don’t watch Netflix. I YouTube and I don’t watch Netflix. I watch a few movies, maybe like a couple watch a few movies, maybe like a couple watch a few movies, maybe like a couple movies a week, but that’s it. no TV movies a week, but that’s it. no TV movies a week, but that’s it. no TV shows. I’m not like sitting there shows. I’m not like sitting there shows. I’m not like sitting there watching like regular old school TV. I watching like regular old school TV. I watching like regular old school TV. I I’m on YouTube like most people. I don’t I’m on YouTube like most people. I don’t I’m on YouTube like most people. I don’t use Tik Tok. I don’t use social media use Tik Tok. I don’t use social media use Tik Tok. I don’t use social media very often. So YouTube’s pretty popular. very often. So YouTube’s pretty popular. very often. So YouTube’s pretty popular. YouTube’s the new TV. But I’m trying to YouTube’s the new TV. But I’m trying to YouTube’s the new TV. But I’m trying to stop watching so much YouTube. And I stop watching so much YouTube. And I stop watching so much YouTube. And I want to like slowly slowly get into the want to like slowly slowly get into the want to like slowly slowly get into the habit of reading books instead. And I habit of reading books instead. And I habit of reading books instead. And I have a goal of reading one book every have a goal of reading one book every have a goal of reading one book every two weeks. That’s pretty that’s a lot of two weeks. That’s pretty that’s a lot of two weeks. That’s pretty that’s a lot of reading. that I just finished a book reading. that I just finished a book reading. that I just finished a book and I was having a long actually I had a and I was having a long actually I had a and I was having a long actually I had a bunch of discussions about this this bunch of discussions about this this bunch of discussions about this this week. The book is it’s called the week. The book is it’s called the week. The book is it’s called the singularity is near from Ray Cutzwell I singularity is near from Ray Cutzwell I singularity is near from Ray Cutzwell I think is how you say his name. He is a think is how you say his name. He is a think is how you say his name. He is a super famous old dude who’s you know super famous old dude who’s you know super famous old dude who’s you know worked on computers way before anybody worked on computers way before anybody worked on computers way before anybody like from the 70s or 60s or 70s you know like from the 70s or 60s or 70s you know like from the 70s or 60s or 70s you know he’s predicted a lot of stuff that he’s predicted a lot of stuff that he’s predicted a lot of stuff that actually has come true that’s why how actually has come true that’s why how actually has come true that’s why how he’s famous he works at Google he has he’s famous he works at Google he has he’s famous he works at Google he has written all these books he wrote a book written all these books he wrote a book written all these books he wrote a book the singularity is near like 20 years the singularity is near like 20 years the singularity is near like 20 years ago and this is like his follow-ups ago and this is like his follow-ups ago and this is like his follow-ups pretty recent um he was talking about pretty recent um he was talking about pretty recent um he was talking about like bleeding edge stuff right up to like bleeding edge stuff right up to like bleeding edge stuff right up to like 2024 so like last year pretty like 2024 so like last year pretty like 2024 so like last year pretty pretty fairly recent pretty fairly recent pretty fairly recent uh he squeezed in stuff like this is uh he squeezed in stuff like this is uh he squeezed in stuff like this is happening right because there’s a lot AI happening right because there’s a lot AI happening right because there’s a lot AI was moving fast um at that time and he was moving fast um at that time and he was moving fast um at that time and he he he managed to cover what’s still he he managed to cover what’s still he he managed to cover what’s still happening right now. I’ve read this book happening right now. I’ve read this book happening right now. I’ve read this book and I was talking to people about it. and I was talking to people about it. and I was talking to people about it. It’s pretty [  ] out there. This is It’s pretty [  ] out there. This is It’s pretty [  ] out there. This is pretty I have so many critiques of this, pretty I have so many critiques of this, pretty I have so many critiques of this, but um he he talks about basically but um he he talks about basically but um he he talks about basically like we’re going to have super smart AI like we’re going to have super smart AI like we’re going to have super smart AI like really intelligent AI at least in like really intelligent AI at least in like really intelligent AI at least in in two two or three years that it’s in two two or three years that it’s in two two or three years that it’s going to be smarter than any human. So going to be smarter than any human. So going to be smarter than any human. So think Chad should be key but like really think Chad should be key but like really think Chad should be key but like really really crazy smart version that we’re really crazy smart version that we’re really crazy smart version that we’re going to make all these breakthroughs in going to make all these breakthroughs in going to make all these breakthroughs in the next 3 years. it’s going to happen the next 3 years. it’s going to happen the next 3 years. it’s going to happen and then uh you can just spin up that and then uh you can just spin up that and then uh you can just spin up that super smart AI like an Einstein a super smart AI like an Einstein a super smart AI like an Einstein a million times and have it work on all million times and have it work on all million times and have it work on all these problems and we’re just going to these problems and we’re just going to these problems and we’re just going to start cranking out you know discoveries start cranking out you know discoveries start cranking out you know discoveries like bio biotech biology math physics like bio biotech biology math physics like bio biotech biology math physics you know every every field that’s just you know every every field that’s just you know every every field that’s just going to boom boom boom boom knock out going to boom boom boom boom knock out going to boom boom boom boom knock out like if you’ve ever if if you’ve ever like if you’ve ever if if you’ve ever like if you’ve ever if if you’ve ever vioded or you’ve ever used AI to build vioded or you’ve ever used AI to build vioded or you’ve ever used AI to build software it’s kind of like you just go software it’s kind of like you just go software it’s kind of like you just go thing after thing after thing bug after thing after thing after thing bug after thing after thing after thing bug after bug feature after future and you just bug feature after future and you just bug feature after future and you just have it hammer out work and and if you have it hammer out work and and if you have it hammer out work and and if you do that for like a month, you build a do that for like a month, you build a do that for like a month, you build a you built a product, assuming you kind you built a product, assuming you kind you built a product, assuming you kind of know what you’re doing. Uh he he he of know what you’re doing. Uh he he he of know what you’re doing. Uh he he he basically thinks that AI will do that basically thinks that AI will do that basically thinks that AI will do that for like scientific discovery problems. for like scientific discovery problems. for like scientific discovery problems. We have like math blah blah blah. You We have like math blah blah blah. You We have like math blah blah blah. You get the idea. And what will happen is get the idea. And what will happen is get the idea. And what will happen is we’ll rapidly advance so fast that he we’ll rapidly advance so fast that he we’ll rapidly advance so fast that he thinks we’ll have nanotechnology in 15 thinks we’ll have nanotechnology in 15 thinks we’ll have nanotechnology in 15 years. 15 years. He thinks we will um years. 15 years. He thinks we will um years. 15 years. He thinks we will um have nanotechnology like in our brain. have nanotechnology like in our brain. have nanotechnology like in our brain.

You’ll just have it pill or something. You’ll just have it be put inside of you. You’ll have these be put inside of you. You’ll have these be put inside of you. You’ll have these nanobots in your brain that will connect nanobots in your brain that will connect nanobots in your brain that will connect you to a computer and boom, voila, you you to a computer and boom, voila, you you to a computer and boom, voila, you have a singularity and suddenly humans have a singularity and suddenly humans have a singularity and suddenly humans are like um you know 100 times smarter. are like um you know 100 times smarter. are like um you know 100 times smarter. We have all this memory and we’re We have all this memory and we’re We have all this memory and we’re enhanced uh digitally. Uh this is pretty enhanced uh digitally. Uh this is pretty enhanced uh digitally. Uh this is pretty far [  ] out there. like 15 years far [  ] out there. like 15 years far [  ] out there. like 15 years from now. from now. from now. I I I I I there’s so many critiques. So, my my I I there’s so many critiques. So, my my I I there’s so many critiques. So, my my I was talking to uh somebody last night I was talking to uh somebody last night I was talking to uh somebody last night about this like I don’t know. Yeah, I about this like I don’t know. Yeah, I about this like I don’t know. Yeah, I think that’ll happen one day, but I think that’ll happen one day, but I think that’ll happen one day, but I don’t Yeah, we’re we’re all pretty don’t Yeah, we’re we’re all pretty don’t Yeah, we’re we’re all pretty skeptical about his insane timeline 15 skeptical about his insane timeline 15 skeptical about his insane timeline 15 years from now. It’s pretty [  ] years from now. It’s pretty [  ] years from now. It’s pretty [  ] wild. What if he’s half right? Okay, wild. What if he’s half right? Okay, wild. What if he’s half right? Okay, let’s say we don’t have nanobots in your let’s say we don’t have nanobots in your let’s say we don’t have nanobots in your brain and suddenly you’re wired up to a brain and suddenly you’re wired up to a brain and suddenly you’re wired up to a computer in 15 years. But what if he’s computer in 15 years. But what if he’s computer in 15 years. But what if he’s even half right? What if we do have even half right? What if we do have even half right? What if we do have really smart AI and boom boom boom boom really smart AI and boom boom boom boom really smart AI and boom boom boom boom boom we are chipping away like boom we are chipping away like boom we are chipping away like exponential progress on on going to like exponential progress on on going to like exponential progress on on going to like a post scarcity world. I was like should a post scarcity world. I was like should a post scarcity world. I was like should we even care about retirement? Should we we even care about retirement? Should we we even care about retirement? Should we just be like yolo about our money and just be like yolo about our money and just be like yolo about our money and whatever? we just need to skate by for whatever? we just need to skate by for whatever? we just need to skate by for the next 10 years until like, you know, the next 10 years until like, you know, the next 10 years until like, you know, we live like in a post scarcity world. we live like in a post scarcity world. we live like in a post scarcity world. Are we if we really do he he claims um Are we if we really do he he claims um Are we if we really do he he claims um you’ll escape um longevity like there’s you’ll escape um longevity like there’s you’ll escape um longevity like there’s an escape velocity. Like the idea is an escape velocity. Like the idea is an escape velocity. Like the idea is like if you’re alive in 5 years uh we’ll like if you’re alive in 5 years uh we’ll like if you’re alive in 5 years uh we’ll slowly start to we’ll first start to slowly start to we’ll first start to slowly start to we’ll first start to slow down aging and then eventually like slow down aging and then eventually like slow down aging and then eventually like we’ll reverse it. You won’t age. You we’ll reverse it. You won’t age. You we’ll reverse it. You won’t age. You won’t die natural causes anymore if if won’t die natural causes anymore if if won’t die natural causes anymore if if you’re alive in 5 years. Um, I’m like, you’re alive in 5 years. Um, I’m like, you’re alive in 5 years. Um, I’m like, should we uh care about retirement? should we uh care about retirement? should we uh care about retirement? Should we care about, you know, should Should we care about, you know, should Should we care about, you know, should we wreck our bodies because, hey, we’ll we wreck our bodies because, hey, we’ll we wreck our bodies because, hey, we’ll have the technology soon to fix it. I have the technology soon to fix it. I have the technology soon to fix it. I mean, what does this mean? You know, mean, what does this mean? You know, mean, what does this mean? You know, like if if if we’re all not going to like if if if we’re all not going to like if if if we’re all not going to have jobs and we’re going to be like have jobs and we’re going to be like have jobs and we’re going to be like living on government money or something living on government money or something living on government money or something like this in 10 years, not even I mean, like this in 10 years, not even I mean, like this in 10 years, not even I mean, this is his his timelines are pretty this is his his timelines are pretty this is his his timelines are pretty [  ] wild. It’s like 10 years. Post [  ] wild. It’s like 10 years. Post [  ] wild. It’s like 10 years. Post scarcity world 10 years. I don’t think scarcity world 10 years. I don’t think scarcity world 10 years. I don’t think so. I I’m highly skeptical of this so. I I’m highly skeptical of this so. I I’m highly skeptical of this timeline. I think we’ll get there and timeline. I think we’ll get there and timeline. I think we’ll get there and something will happen when that happens. something will happen when that happens. something will happen when that happens. When we get there. Yeah. So, I was like, When we get there. Yeah. So, I was like, When we get there. Yeah. So, I was like, what do we do? Do how do how do we plan what do we do? Do how do how do we plan what do we do? Do how do how do we plan our jobs in our life if this is even our jobs in our life if this is even our jobs in our life if this is even half true? You know, cuz he’s been right half true? You know, cuz he’s been right half true? You know, cuz he’s been right about a lot of [  ] Like, this dude is about a lot of [  ] Like, this dude is about a lot of [  ] Like, this dude is this he’s famous because he has like 30 this he’s famous because he has like 30 this he’s famous because he has like 30 years now. Is he 100% right? Absolutely years now. Is he 100% right? Absolutely years now. Is he 100% right? Absolutely not. He’s more right than any other not. He’s more right than any other not. He’s more right than any other futurist and kind of person predicting futurist and kind of person predicting futurist and kind of person predicting the future has been and for a really the future has been and for a really the future has been and for a really long time. So, I don’t know. I don’t long time. So, I don’t know. I don’t long time. So, I don’t know. I don’t know. What do you all think? I I’m not know. What do you all think? I I’m not know. What do you all think? I I’m not going to stop making plans for like going to stop making plans for like going to stop making plans for like retirement and career and I don’t know. retirement and career and I don’t know. retirement and career and I don’t know. I’m not holding my breath. I am I’m not holding my breath. I am I’m not holding my breath. I am convinced AI will get better. I am convinced AI will get better. I am convinced AI will get better. I am convinced we are three to four uh major convinced we are three to four uh major convinced we are three to four uh major innovations or breakthroughs from really innovations or breakthroughs from really innovations or breakthroughs from really getting to what he says. I don’t know. getting to what he says. I don’t know. getting to what he says. I don’t know. I’m not super convinced it’s going to I’m not super convinced it’s going to I’m not super convinced it’s going to happen in two to three years. I think it happen in two to three years. I think it happen in two to three years. I think it might be five years. I think in five might be five years. I think in five might be five years. I think in five years we’ll have slowly these years we’ll have slowly these years we’ll have slowly these breakthroughs and then we’re going to breakthroughs and then we’re going to breakthroughs and then we’re going to have a really smart smart I mean like have a really smart smart I mean like have a really smart smart I mean like Einstein. It can it can learn and Einstein. It can it can learn and Einstein. It can it can learn and quickly learn and and and do things on quickly learn and and and do things on quickly learn and and and do things on its own like kind of scary Terminator its own like kind of scary Terminator its own like kind of scary Terminator Skynet [  ] I think we’ll have that by Skynet [  ] I think we’ll have that by Skynet [  ] I think we’ll have that by the 30s. I don’t think we’ll have that the 30s. I don’t think we’ll have that the 30s. I don’t think we’ll have that in two years like he says. But that’s my in two years like he says. But that’s my in two years like he says. But that’s my prediction. What do you all think? But prediction. What do you all think? But prediction. What do you all think? But anyways, pretty wild book. I was I just anyways, pretty wild book. I was I just anyways, pretty wild book. I was I just think he’s he’s too optimistic and think he’s he’s too optimistic and think he’s he’s too optimistic and blinded by a lot of [  ] that could slow blinded by a lot of [  ] that could slow blinded by a lot of [  ] that could slow this down or delay progress. I mean, who this down or delay progress. I mean, who this down or delay progress. I mean, who knows? Like the world he there’s the knows? Like the world he there’s the knows? Like the world he there’s the thing called Black Swan Advance. He thing called Black Swan Advance. He thing called Black Swan Advance. He doesn’t take I don’t know. I have so doesn’t take I don’t know. I have so doesn’t take I don’t know. I have so many critiques of this book, but um for many critiques of this book, but um for many critiques of this book, but um for him to write this in 20 years ago, this him to write this in 20 years ago, this him to write this in 20 years ago, this was real wild [  ] Now it’s now it’s was real wild [  ] Now it’s now it’s was real wild [  ] Now it’s now it’s kind of not so unrealistic now, which is kind of not so unrealistic now, which is kind of not so unrealistic now, which is interesting. All right, that’s all I got interesting. All right, that’s all I got interesting. All right, that’s all I got for today. I’ll see you maybe
