So lately, I’ve tricky to to pull off. So lately, I’ve tricky to to pull off. So lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of other people try to been seeing a lot of other people try to been seeing a lot of other people try to put out like interesting weird art stuff put out like interesting weird art stuff put out like interesting weird art stuff or funny little um like games or little or funny little um like games or little or funny little um like games or little websites. And I saw one the other day websites. And I saw one the other day websites. And I saw one the other day where it was actually a really cool idea where it was actually a really cool idea where it was actually a really cool idea and I tried to use it. I went to the and I tried to use it. I went to the and I tried to use it. I went to the site. It was it was a living room and site. It was it was a living room and site. It was it was a living room and like people would go to to like a room like people would go to to like a room like people would go to to like a room maybe like a people would randomly be maybe like a people would randomly be maybe like a people would randomly be put into one room. So there was like put into one room. So there was like put into one room. So there was like virtually many rooms, like a living virtually many rooms, like a living virtually many rooms, like a living room, and you would programmatically room, and you would programmatically room, and you would programmatically tell the AI, “Put a lamp, put a poster, tell the AI, “Put a lamp, put a poster, tell the AI, “Put a lamp, put a poster, put something in the room.” Genius idea. put something in the room.” Genius idea. put something in the room.” Genius idea. It worked really well if you can make it It worked really well if you can make it It worked really well if you can make it work. But he had to shut it down work. But he had to shut it down work. But he had to shut it down instantly because it actually kind of instantly because it actually kind of instantly because it actually kind of went viral. People started using it. Too went viral. People started using it. Too went viral. People started using it. Too many people. And it cost him, he was many people. And it cost him, he was many people. And it cost him, he was like, I’m losing money. This is this is like, I’m losing money. This is this is like, I’m losing money. This is this is costing me hundreds to thousands of costing me hundreds to thousands of costing me hundreds to thousands of dollars. Um, people are building all dollars.

So, those are the damn project alive. So, those are the damn project alive. So, those are the reasons why I’m doing this. Um, and the reasons why I’m doing this. Um, and the reasons why I’m doing this. Um, and to be completely honest, the last one, to be completely honest, the last one, to be completely honest, the last one, it’s goddamn fun. The cool, the things it’s goddamn fun. The cool, the things it’s goddamn fun. The cool, the things I’m building are going to be pretty cool I’m building are going to be pretty cool I’m building are going to be pretty cool and fun. So, how the hell am I going to and fun. So, how the hell am I going to and fun. So, how the hell am I going to make money? Um, to be blunt, make money? Um, to be blunt, make money? Um, to be blunt, sponsorships.

I just wanted to share this. the plan. I just wanted to share this. the plan. I just wanted to share this. Like I’m not completely Like I’m not completely Like I’m not completely um some people I’ve told them my idea um some people I’ve told them my idea um some people I’ve told them my idea and they’re just like what the [  ] So and they’re just like what the [  ] So and they’re just like what the [  ] So you just don’t want to work, you just you just don’t want to work, you just you just don’t want to work, you just want to be like retired or you just want want to be like retired or you just want want to be like retired or you just want to goof off and and and just build all to goof off and and and just build all to goof off and and and just build all this stuff for no reason. No, I mean this stuff for no reason. No, I mean this stuff for no reason. No, I mean there is like a coherent plan and you there is like a coherent plan and you there is like a coherent plan and you know I’m trying to build in some know I’m trying to build in some know I’m trying to build in some safeguards where if it really doesn’t go safeguards where if it really doesn’t go safeguards where if it really doesn’t go well and this fails to hey I have a well and this fails to hey I have a well and this fails to hey I have a portfolio of much stronger portfolio. I portfolio of much stronger portfolio. I portfolio of much stronger portfolio. I have tons of like cool things that I have tons of like cool things that I have tons of like cool things that I built. A lot of them technical. Anyways, built. A lot of them technical. Anyways, built. A lot of them technical. Anyways, what are your thoughts on the plan? Is what are your thoughts on the plan? Is what are your thoughts on the plan? Is it stupid? Am I Am I completely crazy? it stupid? Am I Am I completely crazy? it stupid? Am I Am I completely crazy? Have I lost my mind? Cuz god damn, I Have I lost my mind? Cuz god damn, I Have I lost my mind? Cuz god damn, I could really use some feedback. Maybe could really use some feedback. Maybe could really use some feedback. Maybe this is a horrible idea that’s going to this is a horrible idea that’s going to this is a horrible idea that’s going to fail miserably. But I’m going to say one fail miserably. But I’m going to say one fail miserably. But I’m going to say one last and I think this is like really last and I think this is like really last and I think this is like really really overlooked these days. People are really overlooked these days. People are really overlooked these days. People are are waking up to this, but uh this I’m are waking up to this, but uh this I’m are waking up to this, but uh this I’m bu what I’m building will not be bu what I’m building will not be bu what I’m building will not be replaced by AI. Think about it. Like I’m replaced by AI. Think about it. Like I’m replaced by AI. Think about it. Like I’m getting on here with my face talking, getting on here with my face talking, getting on here with my face talking, you know, telling my weird stories. Uh you know, telling my weird stories. Uh you know, telling my weird stories. Uh I’m going over how to build this and I’m going over how to build this and I’m going over how to build this and this is coming from my brain. This is this is coming from my brain. This is this is coming from my brain. This is like pure like human creativity and like pure like human creativity and like pure like human creativity and passion. That’s one thing the AI the AI passion. That’s one thing the AI the AI passion. That’s one thing the AI the AI could copy. It could clone. It could could copy. It could clone. It could could copy. It could clone. It could like spit out something, but it has no like spit out something, but it has no like spit out something, but it has no soul. So, uh I’m putting something out soul. So, uh I’m putting something out soul. So, uh I’m putting something out there that is not AI just slop. It is there that is not AI just slop. It is there that is not AI just slop. It is like really and you’ll see after next like really and you’ll see after next like really and you’ll see after next week. Um it’s just weird stuff from my week. Um it’s just weird stuff from my week. Um it’s just weird stuff from my brain. It’s not like no AI is going to brain. It’s not like no AI is going to brain. It’s not like no AI is going to be able to create this. I’m sorry, but be able to create this. I’m sorry, but be able to create this. I’m sorry, but like could it technically recreate the like could it technically recreate the like could it technically recreate the things? Yes, but the it’s just it’s not things? Yes, but the it’s just it’s not things? Yes, but the it’s just it’s not ready to replace a human with creativity ready to replace a human with creativity ready to replace a human with creativity just yet.
