Raise $10M seed.

Put in a 4.5% yield checking account.

3 days later tell investors “we’re at a $450K run rate.”

They give you another $50M.

3 days later tell investors, “you’re not going to believe this but we’re at a $2.7M run rate”

Repeat until you IPO.

What an Austrian restaurant taught me about European degrowth:

In the time I've stood in line, >40 people left the restaurant. Not a single person in line (now ~25) has been able to talk to a host. The waiters are going about their business. It's not full, actually looking empty. It has very good reviews!

People are starting to get antsy, but not me, because I saw an opportunity for some economic anthropology.

A line outside an empty restaurant is the perfect metaphor for why some societies grow and some do not, with many other things being equal (sound institutions, the gas in the kitchen works).

Do you let the people in who are practically begging to give you money? Or do ignore and abuse them so long that they just leave? Letting the customers in is like finding hundred dollar bills on the sidewalk.

This is Europe. They're lethargic and tired. There's no hustle, because there's no merit. A waiter that gets 10x the tables of the next guy is getting the exact same wage. Equity!

American waitstaff would NEVER allow this to happen. They'd be apoplectic.

It's a pattern throughout the European economies. You want to do a startup? Wait. Pay us. Go through regulation forever.

At a certain point people go to the more energetic restaurant across the street: America.

✨ I made a 100% AI video of a single night in 🇩🇪 Berlin's underground techno scene

Doing an AI shoot is very much like a real life shoot, you have to prepare locations, settings, outfits and models, you can do the same:

1) First I generated photos with the [ 🇩🇪 Berlin nightlife ] photo pack on https://t.co/9IDc0NslGe, they're all non-existing AI people except me and my gf

2) Then I put the pics I liked in Kling AI to make them into 10 second videos (with Professional Mode), soon I'll have API access and it'll be one-click inside Photo AI to turn a photo into a 10-sec video, it then takes about 5 minutes to make a video. It's not always great, especially dancing is hard to get right!

3) Then I wanted to have a German narrator talking about Berlin's techno nights in a poetic way like a documentary, so I asked ChatGPT 4o:

"write in the style of a cult German novelist about the Berlin techno scene"

I then copied that text into Eleven Labs and selected a German AI voice

4) I then collected all the videos, the music and the audio narrator and edited them together in Final Cut Pro adding music from HÖR and adding audio effects

5) Then I added English captions with CapCut

Time to make it: 3 hours for 1 minute of video

I hope you like it!

My dream is to have this entire pipeline in Photo AI at some point. Connecting to Kling AI's video API is the first step to that. Imagine just writing a prompt and you end up with a video like this without all the work
