A few months ago, I told you guys about an AI-powered content creation tool that I had built.

The MVP has been out for a while now, and I have a few paying users.

Even better, an agency is getting ready to run a pilot with a couple of its authors.

Despite a major code hiccup, I’m preparing to introduce several new features.

And that was when it was nothing but a little Discord bot churning out three types of tweets.

  • Luckily, I wasn’t around when Magic Johnson stepped away because his Magic Johnson caught a lil bug… However, the days of AIDs and HIV being a death sentence grow further in the distance by the day

    • Yet another preventative measure is garnering attention in the medical space for showing 100%(!) efficacy in preventing the illness

    • No, this doesn’t treat HIV, but it can largely prevent it… forget about the people that can’t keep it in their pants here. Imagine the impact this could have on developing nations like those in Sub-Saharan Africa dealing with epidemics.

  • Apple announced plans to ship 10% more phones this year compared to last, largely driven by growing demand in AI services

    • One, mighty bold given we’ve yet to see Apple actually have good AI products

  • Is this likely to happen? No. Can a guy hope? Yes.

  • It has been a few months since a big round of funding for an AI startup… until Pitt-based SkildAI announced a $300M Series A round from the likes of Lightspeed Venture Partners, Coatue, SoftBank Group, and Jeff Bezos…

    • The team is working on an LLM for robotics, a direct competitor to Figure Robotics, an OpenAI spinoff likely to be powered by GPT-4

  • MrBeast hit 300M subscribers on YouTube, the most in history. Just in case you needed further evidence of the power of the creator economy…
