I take my hat off to this guy for hitting $50K/month, but a deal based on views is not low risk.
On the contrary, with a views-based deal you take all the risk. A video with a strong hook but poor messaging can hit millions of views and generate very few actual sales.
I wouldn’t recommend such a deal to anyone unless you’re very gifted at picking the influencers you collaborate with.
@EveExamines@loffredojeremy That makes sense.
I just think there are better ways to handle it. I mean the amount of data probably requires a switch once/twice a day.
Essentially, it’s the same thing.
As a client, if AI can design a landing page that converts well enough for me to hit my goals, or create any visual asset that meets my needs, I won’t turn to a designer to do it.
I admit that so far it’s not the case, but when it is, that’s what I think will happen.
And here’s why AI + capitalism can replace designers and several other professions.
Companies want profits, so when it becomes REALLY possible they will cut headcount and replace most of it with AI. This means that a team of 5 designers will become a show of one plus AI.
The government will find a way to tax the additional profits companies make and share a small portion with those who lost their jobs to keep them quiet.
AI meets capitalism in an optimistic scenario.
Half my timeline is "master these 12 AI skills to get rich in 2026" lists.
You don't need 12.
In reality, there are only 2 that matter:
actually building the thing, and telling people about it.
@AnatoliKopadze I think that by now, anyone who has built an app understands that building the app is the easy part.
I got Mindrop from idea to working way faster than I expected with AI. Getting people to actually use it is still the grind no video solves.
@AlexFinn OK, but nobody's mastering all of these.
If I had to refine it to a list of a normal person with a life outside of the terminal, I would pick:
Vibe coding
Audience
Creating videos
AI agents
All the others are nice, but not something that can make or break a business.
@itsolelehmann I think we can say Uber drivers are the first to be replaced by technology in this current technological leap.
And that’s after we “killed” the designers, programmers, McKinsey consultants, and marketers of the world.
Google has every advantage on paper. They still feel three steps behind on every model except Veo.
The upcoming I/O is the moment for them to stop being the runner-up.
If not now, then when?
I'm not that sure.
Responsive worlds and consequential decisions are not a guarantee for a good story.
One can have unlimited access to all the AI models and not be able to create a good story.
This is what entertainment is about. From books to movies to football. The story.
100% Agree.
Veo is the one Google AI model I open without thinking.
Even post Seedance 2, I still see it as a superior model when it comes to realistic video production.
However, I also think that Google can't allow itself to deliver a great model only in the field of video generation. They have to be relevant across the board.
@Samaytwt Same.
I've tried Gemini for some small tasks and gave up after a few days.
Wild that they own YouTube and crawl half of GitHub, but still feel two years behind on coding.
Curious if Antigravity changes anything next week.
@OfficialLoganK@antigravity Tell us more!
As a Google fan, I’m kind of disappointed.
Veo is great, and Notebook LM is worth mentioning, but other than that Google is kind of falling behind.
