It's 2077 - and Mr. Beast is still the biggest YouTuber on the planet. Every video is AI generated. He's perpetually 27 years old. The first organic intelligence to crack the YouTube algorithm merged with ASI and became the attention singularity - a cosmic entity that exists simultaneously in every possible clickbait state, perpetually giving away islands while also being shocked by them, opening and not opening a million mystery boxes at once, trapped forever in an eternal :O face that spans across dimensions, compelling all sentient beings to click through sheer ontological FOMO. The last human YouTuber tried to compete by actually going outside. They got 12 views.

What if you could not only watch a generated video, but explore it too? 🌐

@elonmusk @grok This looks like @FutureJurvetson :-)

@Dr_Gingerballs is spending less for similar or greater productivity "making money"?

[Mitchell Shapiro @mshapiro]

@Dr_Gingerballs as we know, market answers always depend on your time frame. I was thinking YTD, not 5y. Nad I was guessing about legal, but the job cuts at big tech are real.

@levelsio That old guy checking in again... Be very careful about "that guy did well for a while". In the Dotcom days, Warren Buffett was considered "out of touch" by some. Then QQQ dropped 90%. Equities good, valuation important. Leverage very, very bad.

@nicochristie sign me up for the excel steamroller! puleeeeze! (ps. hi from SF!)

@elonmusk @RepAndyHarrisMD @chiproytx They liberated themselves from accountability and responsibility.

@levelsio Old guy checking in who can say, "I remember when..." But why oh why would you want to?! Too funny!

[Mitchell Shapiro @mshapiro]

@starter_story btw, great job, @thepatwalls !

[Mitchell Shapiro @mshapiro]

@starter_story Old skool guy checking in... VC money is the most expensive form of capital. Revenue is the cheapest. But, $5M of VC buys a lot of $5/mo subs all at once and positions you for grabbing land with more rapid expansion. Your move, human.

[Mitchell Shapiro @mshapiro]

@KrisAbdelmessih @IDrawCharts Will look forward to that!

[Mitchell Shapiro @mshapiro]

@KrisAbdelmessih Buon Viaggio! I still tell stories of my Pit Bulls fun with you guys in SF. Cheers!

@bennpeifert @jam_croissant To clarify, I'm a fan of the croissant.

[Mitchell Shapiro @mshapiro]

@bennpeifert @jam_croissant 's hair isn't that crazy.

I've been saying for a few years now that the #Hollywood machine is in big, big trouble. This is brilliant work.

[Bilawal Sidhu @bilawalsidhu]

AI video now actually feels like a generative camera and sound stage with talent you can direct.

It has collapsed complicated pipelines and brought in a whole new type of creator and thus a whole new type of content now flooding your TLs.

Fascinating to watch the split reactions — some see renaissance, while others see slop. Some embrace democratization, while others retreat to gatekeeping. Same creative tensions, new creative tools.

@elonmusk Respectively, I vehemently disagree. Animals, including humans can be insanely violent for a variety of reasons. Religion, Fear, Scarcity of Resources ... In fact, indiscriminate labeling can be a trigger. We need to be mindful with the words we use, especially at scale.
