I had an AI researcher tell me that they can't convince AI that the earth is flat.

And I was like, that actually made me feel good.

Yeah, it's one of the first I've ever heard.

We should shut it down now.

No more data centers needed.

Actually, I want to come to AI because the reason I'm laying this all out, you have a new source of revenue that changes your incentives.

It changes who you are, quote unquote, working for, right?

It's those people who want to see this work in the world.

You still have this idea that you need to go get reach on the platforms because you want to have impact.

And right next to that is like...

not only the army of Instagram teens who will work for free, but the enormous tidal wave of slop that these platforms are creating themselves.

YouTube launched songs on YouTube shorts yesterday.

I watched a clip of my own interview with the founder and CEO of Ring, and YouTube just made a song about surveilling dogs.

I pushed a button and there was a song about surveilling dogs.

And then I could just publish it to YouTube.

And I'm still emotionally processing this experience, right?

Like I don't know what just happened to me.

I don't know what kind of creator I am anymore.

And I know that that song about surveilling dogs is kind of hot.

Like a lot of feelings all at once.
