Back from DEFCON 33 🧵
We met inspiring people, shared ideas, and explored the latest in cybersecurity.
Las Vegas energy? Unmatched - pure mix of networking, deep convos & talks that remind us why this community is so special. [1/5]
„Using SMS as an OTP method is very risky. This is because there is a risk of sim swapping, which is very cheap compared to the potential costs and losses.” - @ChrobokMatt@defcon#defcon33
Creativity is not on YouTube
8 hours deep in AI niche research.
Spreadsheets everywhere. Competitor analysis. Market data.
My brain was completely fried and nothing was sticking.
Every idea felt recycled. Done to death. Generic.
I was about to cancel my Vivaldi concert ticket.
Why sit through classical music when I'm this stuck?
But I went anyway.
Sitting there in the dark. Four Seasons playing.
Not thinking about YouTube or AI or business.
Then during the second movement, that haunting violin melody, two channel concepts just appeared.
Not forced. Not analyzed. Just there.
Clear as day. Fully formed. Already exciting me.
This is exactly how my best scripts happen. The 13M+ view ones never come when I'm grinding.
Your conscious mind collects the data.
Your unconscious mind connects the dots.
Most people think creativity is about forcing breakthroughs. It's not.
It's about loading your brain with research, then getting out of its way.
Feed it everything. Then trust it to cook.
The magic happens when you stop trying to control it.
My friend is starting his music career, so I have a fun side project.
I'll be running his social media campaign, and today, we spent about 8h recording footage for shorts.
They are gonna be fireee 🔥
I'll post results once we upload all that stuff.
