    The Anthropic Researcher Who Quit Over AI Fears Isn’t the Only One Sounding Alarm Bells: ‘Things Could Be Out of Control Next Year’

    NEWS 
    I feel like these headlines are giving some politics-level inaction psychosis. I've genuinely just been in fear for the past week paralyzed by the idea that the world might just be destroyed by AI in the next 5-10 years and so there's no point in really trying to start a business or get into a...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Sorry I think I should add that I personally think way too much in the realm of making something profitable from day 1, MVP, no VC money like this sorta mentality. But there's a lot of examples of people breaking all of this and still succeeding. I remember in TMF there's examples of people who...

    @Mj Demarco An Important decision ( For business owners only)

    STORY 
    Pretty sure this guy lives in Texas and was literally 25 when he filmed this video (linked). Please actually watch that video it's amazing to see how quick you can run up some money. Watching that video made me realize that you could literally just stack stuff together and make a few hundred...

    Documented attempt at a side hustle using Google NFC Cards

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Amazing shout. I've never used AliExpress, but I bought a 100 pc for like $48 and it'll arrive September 2-9, way earlier than this other source. They also gave me some free credit, and I bought like 3 different versions of cards that already had the stickers installed. I'm going to use those...

    Documented attempt at a side hustle using Google NFC Cards

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Either I got scammed or the company I bought the tags from is absent at the wheel. Long story short, I bought the tags morning of my original post, presumably at worst they would ship Monday, and with a 5 day delivery they'd arrive Saturday. Sounds great! Well, monday comes and goes and nothing...

    Documented attempt at a side hustle using Google NFC Cards

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Thanks for all the insight! I hadn't thought of this. I was moreso thinking of selling these to physical hole-in-the-wall type establishments, but I don't see a reason I couldn't upsell to any local services business as a replacement for business cards. I'd also be able to sell many more. I'm...

    Documented attempt at a side hustle using Google NFC Cards

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    I definitely think that campaign is a good idea. My counter would be that do they want to do that forever? Review velocity is really important (having recent reviews), and so even if a business gets 500 reviews last year but only 3 in the past 3 months, they're gonna get beaten out by a business...

    MINDSET 
    this one made me so mad too. guy has actually good music, says his DREAM is to do this full time seemingly, and is promoting a positive message in a world where most big artists are narcissists obsessed with getting more famous. i genuinely want more than anything for this dude to succeed but he...

    Documented attempt at a side hustle using Google NFC Cards

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Hello Fastlaners, Just today, I learned about a new side hustle idea that I'm going to try and will periodically update my progress on in this thread. For reference, yesterday I had ZERO KNOWLEDGE of WTF a Google NFC Reader was, how to program it, and I'm learning all of this right now through...

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

    CHAT - AI - 
    Anecdotal, but I've looked into this stuff for music, and for the big AI site for it (Suno), somebody posted in a Reddit about it asking who the users' favorite AI musician was. Literally all of them just said themselves. What I took from that is that these AI tools for making creative...

    Making my own ASMR Slicing game

    IDEA 
    Hard to know exactly without being around for the time. AI says it was frequent blog posts, implementing player feedback, and weekly updates to the game. This stuff probably won't fly in 2026 if I'm being honest. I think the space has only gotten more competitive and so some innovation is...

    Making my own ASMR Slicing game

    IDEA 
    Notch, solo creator of Minecraft, made and published his first prototype for the game in 6 days, and did all the marketing for it while simultaneously working full time. On a possibly unrelated note, good luck succeeding with this mentality.

    Making my own ASMR Slicing game

    IDEA 
    This is something that is really worth figuring out. No hate to TMF, and maybe I missed it, but there's a part where he talks about how his affiliates are making a crapton of money. But then the book never goes into that affiliate program or how it worked or anything about it seemingly. I...

    Making my own ASMR Slicing game

    IDEA 
    This is really cool. There's definitely a market, IDK what the other dude is yapping about games being evil. They provide a lot of value to a lot of people. I was wondering how're you planning to market your app?

    You could see it as being choiceless.

    STORY INTRO 
    IDK how you can read the paragraph I wrote about this and still want this, it's genuinely unfathomable to me. Apply this framework to anything else. Do you skip brushing your teeth, doing laundry, and taking showers because that'd take away from the music? I didn't know of Jimi Hendrix before...

    STORY INTRO 
    OK so you say This is a big step. I've only had a few jobs, but I haven't yet gotten one that provided 0 training. Think about what you're asking for; basically a digital marketing wizard that'll magically fix all of your shortcomings. This person does exist, but they are an actual pro working...

    You could see it as being choiceless.

    STORY INTRO 
    This is a bit of a tangent but I do a lot of YouTube and I always like digging into people's channels and trying to understand what they're doing that works or why they're failing, and I'll say that basically every time they're failing, the problem is either they are incredibly inconsistent...

One of which I posted today, 3 of which are scheduled for the coming days. I know I could pump these...

    How to Fail Miserably in Your Daily Routine as a WFH solopreneur

    MINDSET STORY 
    Work time matters, yes. If you spend 0 hours working then you get no progress. However, I'd really focus on your level of focus. I know Deep Work is one of those pop-culture books, but the equation from it that "High-Quality Work Produced = (Time Spent) x (Intensity of Focus)" is very true. And...
