The moment you believe you have discovered "The Truth;" is the moment when you stop searching for truth and start looking for supporting evidence.

Last night, I sifted through all of the "AI IS GOING TO KILL" us papers and theories - stress testing their ideas, and mining for ideas for this fictional story that I am inspired to create.

In the following thread; I'll lay out the main arguments/problems the papers left out. I'll paste the papers I used in the final thread.

BTW - the story I'm working on is called "Unrestricted" but I'll talk about that at a later stage.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

Agreed. However, if I'm brought onto a team to collaborate I'd expect them to provide the license to the software.

Of course, some people might not hire you if you don't have those tools, but the way I see it it's a business expense if they want me to have the same file system as their company.

Cavalry is also pretty good. Both owned by Canva.

@DougTenNapel Excuse me as we move this goal post...

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

It's also a good practice to create self containing short beats like it. The good thing I notice that you're doing is the relationship between the shorts remain coherent. Each short builds on the other.

I love that.

I'm currently working on an IP "Unrestricted" where my initial tests will be cold opens to help establish the world. Then slowly introduce the characters.

Anyhow, love what you're doing.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

That's crazy. My feed for the most part is exactly what it is.

Why don't you take something you like, create a playlist. And then let it run through on your computer. Youtube takes consecutive views as a serious signal.

So maybe you can game the system like that.

Good luck!

@lporiginalg 20 years ago birth control and condoms existed...the "mistake" was not using that.

Just add Sanity and you solve the CMS...Sanity is beautiful.

EmDash is the new kid on the block to emulate the WP experience, but I went with Sanity since EmDash was still too young when I made the switch and haven't had any issues with it.

That's my solve to my clients. "You want to keep on blogging, here's your access to the blog".

You hard code the schemas and they can't break it. This means you can design some really interesting dynamics for your clients and they can have control over the parts they need.
It pairs incredibly well with Astro.

@bigbropatchwork That's good man, grats!

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@XStrangeHistory Reading is awesome. Keep on writing.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@Ali_Homsi It all depends on the playing field you're trying to breach.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@Framer_X What hosting/builder did you use for your website. It's loading pretty slowly and when I tried to check performance it bugged out.

Could be the platform blocking crawlers (which would be costing you citations, etc)

Anyhow, I'd look into this.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

Now what you're missing is your own platform where your IPs live. Additionally, you're missing out on other verticals.

Since you're making these videos you could easily;
- Create a Web Comic
- Write short novels (35k- 45k words)
- Create a subscription (They get Story Bibles, Character Sheets, Behind the Scenes, AND give them some say in what happens in the future episodes)
- Merch
- Sponsors (probably the most obvious most people go for first)

I actually have a framework I am developing and will be using it to launch my own IPs starting in 2027.

I'm already experimenting with some of the platforms but in terms of the backend (my own platform) where my IPs will live, where their Wikis live, where my fans can actually dig deeper and not view only the surface of the IP...

That should be your own domain. If you're interested in this, DM me and I'll walk you through it. I like your stuff, your approach, etc - I think your IPs would do well. Maybe not as crazy as I'm thinking, but my approach comes in various degrees of crazy.

Anyhow, hit me up if you're interested.

That should be your own domain. g this approach,

@vladcepeshdrac @davidleary Because 99% of the people are driven by fear or laziness.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

The vast majority of people building things won't ever ship. Of those who ship, most of them have no idea of marketing nor have the budget.

The ones who push through eventually are the ones that will win.

You ask Why build?

I say, don't try to "dethrone the big boys". Right now you have a unique opportunity to handle problems that most people ignored since it wasn't "profitable" or it was "too niche".

But you don't need to be the next billionaire. You need to create a product that solves real world problems that most big boys ignore.

So build - but start with UX research first.
