THIS 24-YEAR-OLD GUY MAKES $300 TO $600 FROM BUILDINGS MOST PEOPLE WALK PAST EVERY DAY
$400/scan. 20 minutes. $99/month recurring
he walks through hotels, apartments and commercial spaces with a scanning rig and leaves with a 3D version of the entire property
one building takes about 20 minutes
the owner gets a link that lets anyone walk through the space from a browser before ever visiting it in person
hotels put it on booking pages. landlords use it for remote viewings. commercial spaces send it to potential tenants
he charges around $400 for the initial scan and another $99 every month for hosting
10 properties = $990/month recurring. 50 properties = $4,950/month before he scans another room
the stack costs around $20/month
3D Gaussian Splatting handles the reconstruction. Luma AI captures the space. Claude can build the delivery page in about 10 minutes
month 1 brought in $3,500. by month 6 it reached $18,000
most people walk down a street and see buildings
he sees inventory
OpenAI got caught lying, and now the same person who caught them says they were right
in october, openai claimed their model had solved ten erdős problems. turned out it just restated answers that were already known.
the same person called it “a dramatic misrepresentation.”
but that’s not even the interesting part.
in may, an internal openai model disproved the erdős unit distance conjecture, open since 1946.
openai never disclosed which model it was.
the proof was checked by real mathematicians, including a fields medalist.
and the person who signed off on the result is the exact critic who tore them apart in october.
when the person who caught you lying puts his own name on your next result, that’s not pr.
that’s the only kind of verification that actually means something.
