Airbnb used to be so fun. My parents used it as an actual bed and breakfast.
We used to host people from all over the world in our guest bedrooms - Holland, China, Vancouver, Everywhere.
I had doctors in residency school living with me for a months, friends from other countries my age and so much more.
I learned so much from the guests. They would mentor me and help me plan for college. They’d take me out to eat dinner. Sometimes my parents would leave me alone for weeks/months with guests.
My mom would always cook and clean and make sure the guests had everything. Now it’s a (worse) hotel and more sterile. Only the really high end architecture ones are fun but ur gonna pay so much…
i told u guys clipping is dead
I’ve been dying to have an insane clipper and her name is Opus 5.5. I just started posting and hit over 190k views in the last 2 days from my small account and gained 600+ followers. It can find the matching b-roll, use remotion templates and cut so it is engaging and educational. I have tons of alpha in my livestreams and I’m finally glad I can just build live and share my knowledge with the world.

Ads are dead. Everyone is now a content creator because old systems no longer work:
1) Display advertising only shows ads to broke people that can't afford premium subscriptions. The K shaped economy makes this worse. How do you sell a premium product when your target audience pays not to see ads?
2) College degrees, certifications, and CV's have all been defrauded to death. AI spam and Indian fraud have annihilated these previously quality indicators that someone would make a good employee.
3) Meatspace ads are increasingly irrelevant as more transactions and attention move online. Even things you think would be relevant, like billboards, are superceded by Google maps. And with self driving cars, who is going to look at a billboard ever again?
4) SEO has been dead for 20 years, and now Google is getting replaced by AI powered search.
5) The internet is increasingly walled gardens (X, FB, Discord) that don't want you leaving the platform. So while they serve ads, there's a tension with them. X is trying to bring in commerce to the platform to remove this tension.
Below, McDonald's isn't going into 'fine dining' as a new business vertical. They're going to run a restaurant at a small loss as a marketing ploy. People will go there as a joke, the well dressed waiter will recommend the Michellin star chef made Happy Meal, and those people will post about McDonald's online. It's advertising, The End.
Kraft recently announced a "Mac & Cheese" flavored soda.
Tesla shot a car into space, then made a flying car. Tesla's marketing budget: $16. Not a typo.
Anthropic's marketing is claiming Claude helped the US military with Iran, and that Claude is so powerful it'll doom humanity.
The bad news: you must create content. You have no choice. Your CV will be auto-denied and/or filled by Indians. Your ads will be seen only by brokies.
The good news: content creation is Lindy. From shadow puppets on cave walls, to YouTube brainrot, it seems to have value no matter what technology does. It's also a moat: only ~1% of people create any content at all! Most aren't willing to look ridiculous in public.
And the best news: you need to create things AI can't, like racism or misogyny. Otherwise people just copy your content with AI. Launching an upscale restaurant isn't news. McDonald's has a brand built from fast food, and are being jesters by pretending to be upscale. It's different, fun, it brings out the comments.
Frens, we live in the golden age. Your future depends on you being a jackass on the internet.
