Anyone who thinks "AI = easy mode" honestly just sounds dumb and out of touch.
For context, I’ve been doing product design for 20+ years, including giant brands like Febreze, Swiffer, and Abercrombie with multi-continent supply chains etc.
I can tell you that AI is by FAR the most technically and cognitively demanding thing I’ve done in my career.
Yes plenty of people use it to make videos of Charlie Sheen farting on Pikachu or whatever but using AI tools at a high level is HARD.
It makes production a lot easier and faster (eg, writing code or generating images) but the cognitive part (deciding what code should be written or what image should be generated) is just as slow and hard as ever, so your brain is now the bottleneck.
We recently identified a security issue involving the third-party developer library Axios that was part of a broader industry incident. We found no evidence that OpenAI user data was accessed, that our systems were compromised, or that our software was altered.
Out of an abundance of caution we are taking steps to protect the process that certifies our macOS applications are legitimate OpenAI apps.
We are updating our security certifications, which will require all macOS users to update their OpenAI apps to the latest versions. This helps prevent any risk—however unlikely—of someone attempting to distribute a fake app that appears to be from OpenAI. You can update safely through an in-app update or at the official links below. 🧵
This is why you should be building out your knowledge base using something like a Obsidian... immediately!
Manus has access to my full knowledge base inside of Obsidian. I told it to set up Hermes and it was done within 10 minutes.
the secret (and easier) business hiding in this clip:
1. stop selling "ai consulting" (everyone is *trying* to do this)
2. find smbs drowning in scattered google docs and notion pages
3. charge $8k to migrate everything into a local obsidian vault
4. format the data so agents like manus can read it perfectly
5. sell a $5k/mo retainer to maintain the connections and ensure the data is clean & up to date
the secret is becoming ai tool-proof. you can migrate to any new AI tool in minutes if your data collected, stored, and structured correctly.
everyone is trying to sell complex ai automations. the real money is just getting their data ready for the tools that exist now and in the future.
boring work. massive margins. zero dev needed.
Which platform / outbound method do you think will still work after the AI apocalypse?
I’m betting cold email gets harder
As AI personalisation emails at scale becomes more saturated tbh
