Yeah. It's really important to know that AI is really good at turning people into hyper consumers. And... Do you think there's anyone on earth who could beat an AI at chess? No. No. Not one single person. Zero. And in the same way, there's not a single person that can beat TikTok at holding their attention. If you go on TikTok, it's game over. The minute you open TikTok as an app, it's game over.

You're done. If you want it to be there for one minute, it'll keep you for 10. If you want it to be there for 10 minutes, it'll keep you for an hour. It is game over.

So if you listen to Spotify, you're going to listen to more songs than you intended to listen to because their AI is turning you into a hyper-consumer. So the first thing you need to know is that some of the smartest people on the planet have invented AI technology to get you to hyper consume and your time is limited. So that's just going to take up your life.

On the flip side of the coin is that AI makes you into a hyper creator. And as a hyper creator, you can be doing 10 things at once that used to take 10 people to do one thing. So when you have AI powers, you can have what's called agentic AI, which is having agents. that go do stuff for you. So you might say, gee, I wish I knew the name of every doctor in LA.

You can send an AI agent to go find that. You could say, I wish I could write a personal message to all my followers on LinkedIn. Okay, well, we can do that. I wish I could take all of this data and put it into a spreadsheet. We just tell an AI to do that. I wish I could create a software business, but I don't know what software business to create.

Well, let's ask the latest O3 model and it'll tell us our options. We'll upload all of our stuff into there and it'll spit out some options. We'll pick one and then we'll go for Replit and get them to build it as a software and it'll spit out some software and what would normally take months now happens in minutes, right? So when I say society is going to split, this is a warning.
