GPT-4 money printer go brrrr

[Jackson Greathouse Fall @jacksonfall]

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.

I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?

Follow along 👀

Will this sort of model be called Artist-as-a-Company? 😂

There's so much room for transformation in the music industry that is still dominated by the labels. Decentralization creates a models where creators can better connect with fans and support themselves while maintaining ownership in their work. Curious to see how this develops.

It’s been a wild ride.

Today - I’m excited to announce that I’ve raised $1M to support the next chapter of my career.

Here’s why ⬇️

Not the hero we deserved but the one we needed

[Chris Bakke @ChrisJBakke]

I’m a venture capitalist.

Yesterday, I hit “like” on 3 tweets about First Republic being solvent and single-handedly saved the banking industry.

Today, I pledged my support for GPT-4 (by liking 2 of Sam Altman’s tweets).

A busy week, but proud to be moving humanity forward.

Sounds like good ol' too big to fail

At the same time keeping your funds in the bank that's in potential trouble (like SVB in this case) does not really bring any upside so it only makes sense to get your money out asap

[Simas Z @zsimasz]

It's interesting that the moment depositors in a financial institution (be it SVB or FTX) start to feel fear, it's most likely already game over for that institution.

[Simas Z @zsimasz]

It's interesting that in the last century banking and finance sector has changed so much yet the human psychology behind mass panic still works the same.

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

So much advantage in life comes from be willing to look like an idiot in moment.

Three immediate ways this applies:
1. Saying you don't know vs. pretending you do.
2. Doing something different than everyone else.
3. Admitting you made a mistake and correcting.

Life Hack: Make a rule to never think twice about investments in yourself.

• Books
• Quality food
• Fitness
• Personal development
• Mental health

These investments pay dividends for a long time.

The only person you’re competing with is the person you were yesterday.

Victory is being a little better today.
