    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    - AI - 
    Do we really pretend that AGI isn't there yet? I am filling a bunch of bureaucratic forms that would normally require someone with experience, all based on ChatGPT's input.

    Mira Murati's AI startup is raising $2 billion at a $10 billion valuation. Thinking Machines Lab only recently emerged from stealth and has no product or revenue to speak of. What it does have — and what’s likely convincing investors to fork over cash — is dozens of high-profile AI researchers...

    Crazy the discounts that SaaS products give you when you cancel. I just cancelled WP Rocket and they gave me instantly a 20% discount. When I canceled Spyfu, they first gave me 20%, then 50% discount. 20% is nice but 50% feels like you were getting ripped off for starters. It just decreased...

    Is SEO dead (still worth it)

    That's the future of SEO! Probably should be called AICO for AI Chatbot Optimization.

    Is SEO dead (still worth it)

    MARKETING 
    Google SEO is dead. AI has become so good at summarizing a web page that I don't even go on websites anymore. And with deep search, you can have a report about any topic being written in 10 minutes. For the rest, I ask ChatGPT, Grok, and Perplexity. Time gain: 10000% (not exaggerating). BUT...

    Which job sounds better for a Fastlane long-game?

    HOT! FEEDBACK 
    I want to build retail brands in the food and related industries, that's where I want to be in the next 10 years. Don't care about the rest. I kind of feel I am jumping around different industries too and in the end I am not learning anything, and it is becoming stressful as I am getting old.

    Which job sounds better for a Fastlane long-game?

    HOT! FEEDBACK 
    UPDATE I have been looking for a sales job for a while now and have some interviews lined up. The reason is that I am not doing anything at my current job (since ChatGPT does it all) and not learning anything either. I also thought this would get me fired eventually, so I wanted to jump ship...

    Companies make you think you're a part of the family until they need to balance the books. Check out Bowtiedbull: they're all about building businesses while earning monstrous amounts money on the side.

    Does making SaaS nowadays violates the commandment of entry?

    The question doesn't matter as much as the size of the market and if the market will still be there in 10 years.

    Doesn't it make more sense to look for sales channels rather than customers? Let's imagine I have a shoe brand. Wouldn't it make more sense to look for retailers who have access to thousands of customers rather than look for thousands of customers myself online?

    AI is destroying people's capacity for reading. Customer support agents don't understand the difference between a shipping address where I want my stuff shipped and a residence address that they need to verify for legal purposes. If we define the AGI threshold based on these people's...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Thinking one is unique sounds a lot like an excuse not to do the work. The primary reason why people won't act isn't that they think x y z, but that work is painful and they don't want to feel pain. The secondary reason is that they don't know what they want and so they don't know what to do...

    Thanks! Yes, I am selling a product. The strangest thing happened: I ran Facebook and Google ads last weekend and got five orders, which is insane! It's even more insane that neither Google nor Facebook could attribute those sales to the campaigns I have launched, but I hardly believe it. I...

    What advice should be ignored?

    QUESTION 
    The best way to look at it is to have heuristics that help you decide if the advice is helpful or not. The Lindy Effect is a good one but generally, unless I ask for an impression, 99.9% of advice from normal people is BS and you are better off testing stuff on your own. Waking up at 5AM...

    Amazon decided to add next to my items that they would be shipped out no earlier than 11 days after placing the order despite that I always shipped within 24 hours (my sales are now zero). I've reached out to support who has reached out to their own support but does anyone have a tip on how to...

    Honestly it is very difficult to give universal advice as it also depends a lot on what you sell. When I was looking for a battery for a xiaomi phone, google was the obvious choice. Purely keyword-based business. But I signed up for TimeLeft after i saw it on IG. There are no universal advice...
