    I'd say the algorithms are built to keep us using the platforms, so they can make more money from ads. For most platforms, that means showing content we'd consume. For the longest while they thought that was content posted by people in our social network, then TikTok showed we're more...

    Is this true? If so it's incredible. So incredible I don't believe it at the moment.

    I don't think corporate software will get usurped that easily. I swear larger companies *want* to pay more for software and services so they can complain louder if the system goes down.

    I don't think it was acquired for $30m. It was making $30m ARR, and had a community. Anyway... I've watched 5 minutes of the video. He seems to completely misunderstand the point. He says you can create this in under a day, and the community in another day. Like f*ck you could create...

    I was IT support and I'm under no illusions about creating any complicated SaaS that people would use. I might be able to create an MVP or some simple web app, but if it then started making money, I'd be hiring a software engineer. They might work with AI but I'd want their rigour. Hmm...

    Or doing the marketing for tradesmen? I was initially in IT for 15 years and then for the last 16 years I've been doing marketing for tradesmen, plus other types of businesses. I never liked doing the marketing for SaaS companies, tech startups, or eCommerce.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I don't think this is a purely technical space. There's lots of business owners hearing how AI can help them but unsure of where to start.

    This. Especially if they have a feedback loop so that the more data they have about users the more useful their product becomes. Like how YouTube learns our preferences and shows us more of what we like to watch.

    I guess the main factor is it's YouTube and owned by Google who also owns Gemini. I can't imagine short video is prioritised over long form. I expect it's more down to how focused the video or section is. I think Short video suits the style of video I always wanted to create - where there's...

    I did this today and it was a great help. I got the Gemini Gem to interview me about the match at the weekend and the training we did last week. Then it created a pretty good match report. I went back and forth quite a bit and updated the Gem as I went along. Next week it should be even...
