You're going to give yourself the best possible chance to succeed.

And that doesn't mean it's going to displace you or displace your passions or all the other things.

But I think just like using it is the best thing you could possibly do.

I don't know that it couldn't thrive without AI, but what will thrive with AI is like authentic expertise.

like something that requires like true human experience, true human like history with a topic.

My ability to watch you, talk to you, get you to tell me something that you might not tell someone else or look at a verbal tick and be able to pick up that you meant something different than what the words actually said.

I think that type of content is going to surge in value.

I think it's possible it's worth 10x what it is today because everybody else is going to be operating with

basically, universal general intelligence.

They talk about AGI in terms of the technology achieving human-like general intelligence.

I think we're all going to have baseline general intelligence, just like we all basically, if we have Google, have the same baseline recall capabilities.

We're going to have these brains that are just enormous on almost any piece of topic.

If you can sit above that with expertise, you're going to have value.

If you have trust because of either your personality, because of your knowledge, because of your humor, whatever it is, if you have trust, that's going to sit above and beyond the LLM, above and beyond.

And then if you have the ability to connect humans, either like through membership events, I think as people become more and more dependent on artificial intelligence, there's going to be an equal and opposite reaction where people need human touch, need human connectivity.

If you can provide that.

Those three attributes I think will have a ton of value.

By the way, that's not most media.

If you're generic, you're general, you're not that interesting, you're not vital, you will be obliterated and it will be fast and it will be furious and there's nothing you can do about it.

So I think you have to be in those three categories.
