10 AI Business Ideas in 43 Minutes

Alright, I'm setting my timer. I'm gonna give myself thirty one minutes. To give you ten specific AI business ideas. I feel like I can rule the world, I know I could be what I want to I'll put my all in it like my day's off on the rolling shit. You don't do this because I see a lot of stuff on YouTube that's like

Hey. Uh AI's the next big thing. And then they're like you're like, Okay, what, how? For me? What should I do with it? Um and there's no answers. Or AI is gonna kill us all. Like really? Shit. How? Like we don't know.

Um so I just don't like the The just general enthusiasm without the specifics. And so This is all about the specifics. And I I think I'm well qualified to do this because I've My whole life I've been an entrepreneur. And I've been an idea guy. I ran an idea lab where I was basically funded to just come up with business ideas and then build them for six years.

Um, I then have a podcast now. This podcast is all about business ideas. I've also invested in the last year maybe two million dollars into AI companies, so I've About a dozen companies that I said yes to, plus probably another hundred or so that we passed on. So I've seen a bunch in this AI space. I know what the the best entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley are doing. That's where I live. And So I wanted to share with you my list from number ten to number one, number one being the best, the biggest opportunity that I see in the in the space.

That If I wasn't just chilling out, rich and happy and being a dad, I would go and jump in and do these right away. Instead, I'm gonna invest from the side. I hope somebody takes an idea from this list and just goes and does it. Um But before I tell you the ideas, a quick little History lesson. A quick little trip down memory lane, a little I told you so.

Three years ago on this exact podcast I did an episode called Is GPT the next big thing? I think it was like episode ninety four. We're on like five hundred now. And this was back in July of twenty twenty. So it's like

COVID had just hit. People are freaking out. But me and Sam got on set podcast and we said, Is GPT three the next big thing? We had gotten access to this tool. That there was no chat GPT at the time. You had to like get a favor from somebody to even be able to try it. And we used it to write rap lyrics, which of course

Being idiots that we are, we thought oh that's the Best thing we can do with artificial intelligence. And so we well, we thought it was amazing. We were like, wow, this is really good. And we the episode is GPT the next week thing. We're basically saying, Yeah, it will be. And that's twenty twenty.

Fast forward today, open AI is worth ninety billion dollars. They're doing a billion dollars a year. Chat GPT is the fastest growing product in history to hit a hundred million users. Um, you know, so I'm not saying that we called it I'm not saying that we're business geniuses. But Kinda did, and we kinda are. So you know if

If you listen to me then, you probably could have made a bunch of money. Listen to me now. Because I got For today I'm gonna share with you. Ten. specific

AI business ideas ranging from simple Doable things for somebody who's non technical. All the way to like Moonshot. Really big ideas that uh I think are Game changing.

And so I'm gonna read you the list. From number ten to number one. They include things from About the Robotics and therapy and celebrities and

Education to porn to i I got everything. And the last one, the very last one, I think is the biggest idea. Um That exists today. So the biggest I think it is the biggest opportunity that exists today for any entrepreneur.

You know, like um When you think about Uh Mark Zuckerberg stumbling into sort of like the social networking craze. Or um You know, when Steve Jobs created the iPhone, that changed everything.

There are these sort of change everything moments. And like, you know, I was a kid when the internet came out. I'm thirty five years old now, so I was You know, I remember being on the internet as like a twelve or thirteen year old. Um, using like, you know, whatever very basic uh dial up connections and BBS forums and stuff like that. But it was clear to me that the internet was a thing. It's just I was a kid, so I didn't think about how I could benefit like I just wanted to use it. I didn't think about I wasn't an entrepreneur, I was a

Teenager, right? I couldn't even spell on still can't. Um But then when I graduated from college, I graduated in twenty ten, the iPhone had come out. The year before I think the app store had come out. But I wasn't I didn't have the light bulb on. I didn't really understand

That W there are few times I think what's that Warren Buffett quote? He's like, um Something like Um there are moments there are moments every once in a while Where the skies get cloudy.

And it begins to rain opportunity. And when it does, let us not run out with spoons, but with bathtubs to cut to you know to catch the opportunity. Um, so I didn't really realize when mobile was the big opportunity. It was right in front of my nose, right? Like We were working on things and we had a mobile developer, one guy, and we would You know, we would uh we would try to make a mobile version of our website. But we didn't realize, yo, mobile's changing everything and all of a sudden

You know, this thing's got a GPS, that means now Uber is possible, Google Maps is possible. This has a camera, so that means that Snapchat and Instagram is are are now possible. Um you know, I'm carrying this with me everywhere, so all of a sudden WhatsApp is possible. Uh, you know, this thing has an accelerometer inside. That means that my fitness pal is possible. Right. So the the technology unlocks the opportunity. So Now to my specific list.

Of ten ideas. That I think anybody could do. And by the way. Well here's my disclaimer. These specific ideas. Don't matter. I know I'm hyping them up a little bit, but

It's not the ideas that matter. Uh Naval has this great quote where he says You know, you don't read books for the information. You read books because books spark ideas in your head. Right. Reading a great book is like uh you know, lighting a match or starting a bonfire.

In your brain. And so that's my goal. I want to start a little bonfire in your brain. I want these ideas to help you get to the real ideas. I don't think that these are necessarily going to be the ones. But I hope that they really stimulate you to to think. Um okay. So Let's jump in.

Number ten. Eliminate the weight. Okay. So we think of the internet as this fast place, a place where you can just click and you mean instantly get what you want. But um That's true. Like the internet, if you just compare normal business, I used to have to drive, go to my car, drive to a store, park, get out, walk in if I wanted to buy something. And now the internet, I don't have to do any of that shit. I just

Website Click. Boom, it'll be here in two days. Right. That's kind of amazing. So the internet has killed waiting in a bunch of different ways and that's generated billions and billions and billions of dollars of value. What?

All waiting is not gone. There's still some waiting left. Um I want to tell you about it. So, like for example, this is uh one of my companies is called Shepherd, right? I'm a minority owner of uh of Shepherd. I bought a minority steak earlier this year. They do a very simple thing. So they find you employees overseas that will cost you eighty percent less than if you're hiring in the US. They're like recruiters that will find the best talent in the Philippines or Laddam that just solves whatever problem you have. Okay, great.

So now when somebody comes to this website and this business works, right? It makes millions of dollars a year, but It also loses, I believe, millions of dollars a year because of one Very simple problem, which is that When you click start hiring here. It's going to tell you

To book a call. It says great. Tell us some information. And then when you do when once you fill this in. Uh, you know, you fill in a small form, as soon as you do that, then it's going to Uh tell you to book a call.

And that book of calls might be two days from now, three days from now, four days from now. Um By then you're cooled off, right? Like you you know, you you've lost anybody any salesperson knows that like You need to strike while the iron's hot. You're gonna have the highest conversion rate. In that moment.

So let me show you what an AI company is doing that I think is very smart. This is called some company called Same Day. Don't I'm not involved in this at all. Uh, I just think they're it's a very cool idea. So They're like, Hey, what if we just had a phone agent An AI phone agent that could just repl apply to anybody who calls you right away. So uh

Listen to this. How can I help you today? Yeah, I got a call from my wife a minute ago. She said there's a bunch of ants coming through our kitchen window. How soon can you guys come out?

That's the worst. Luckily, I can probably have someone out as soon as tomorrow to take care of those ants. Can I get your address to confirm? Yeah it's Uh but can you transfer to a person?

Yeah, I can transfer you to a person. But You'll be on hold for about nine minutes. No. I can answer any questions and get you scheduled in under two.

How does that sound, Aaron? Sounds good, but what's it gonna cost? Oh, of course. I just need to know. You get the idea. Uh I think it's funny they made him have a accent. But um

Yeah, instead of I'm interested and then three day gap. Now we get on a Zoom call and you're trying to remember The context and then we fumble and bumble. How about right when I say I'm interested, a AI sales agent is gonna Call me and uh you know, or or create a voice call right here on the on on the browser.

And um ask the questions that it needs to do to qualify me as a potential customer, as well as answer the questions that you have and even give you a sales pitch, right? You might look at that and be like Oh, you know, the it's a little slow the way it talks, or it's not as good as a human. And I would tell you two things. Number one That uh

The conversion rate in the moment. the versus the drop off of people not not bouncing because they don't want to book a call or Um not showing up to the call. Like the show up rate might be sixty five percent to a call. Uh, you know, you get these huge drop offs for every step of the every s additional step in the funnel. So you wanna just remove steps in any funnel.

So I believe that an AI sales agent will be um higher converting than doing it the sort of slower human way. The second thing is This is V one. Imagine

You know, like you remember the V one of anything, the the the brick cell phones or the V even V one of the iPhone compared to what we have now on iPhone fifteen, like Just wait two years. This is gonna be incredible. And it's already good enough to Um make up for the fact that You know, you know how many businesses don't even have a phone number or don't answer the phone when you call them? Like

every pest control service or lawn care service or self-storage facility or whatever, you name it. Um you can go and become The uh The AI phone sales guy for every business on the internet. I think that's that's one opportunity that's there for the taking is Forget this whole idea of

You know Call me, I'll call you back, or book a call in a few days and we'll talk. It's no no, it's gonna be we'll talk right now. with my highly trained sales agent who always sticks to the script. is always polite, never gets frustrated, never gets pa is sick, never takes a day off. Um

That's what's gonna happen here. That that's that's where this is going. Okay, idea number nine. Therapy for everybody. So Therapy used to be pretty taboo, and every year it's becoming less and less so.

Uh every year more and more people are going to therapy and there are multiple billion dollar therapy startups to just connect you with a therapist. However That's still only a fraction of the opportunity. How do you make this a hundred times more accessible? Right. Like I think

most people could probably benefit from having somebody to talk to. Having somebody who's there for them, supportive, asks good questions, gives good advice. That seems like something that's gonna help every couple, every individual person, every executive. Excellent. And uh

The biggest barrier to this is now is cost. And Sort of like the friction or privacy that's involved. It's almost like uh Remember how hymns came out and they were like

You know what? Rectile dysfunction's a big deal. It's a big problem. But people don't want to go to the doctor, admit this to another person, and then have to go to a pharmacy and say, Hey, can I get my pills, please?

Um, instead, what if it was you could just telemedic, you could just get diagnosed online, get the prescription really quickly from the comfort of your own home without going anywhere. And then we'll deliver it to your doorstep in very discrete packaging and there you go. And Hams and Road did this and built billion dollar companies just on that one. That one way of increasing access. Well, I think for therapy you gotta do two. I think you gotta decrease the cost and increase the privacy.

So solution. Put an AI therapist in everyone's pocket. You train it on A hundred million hours of therapy, uh, you know, with transcripts and um and conversations that that are that exist or could exist. And um

And you provide the service to to everybody, even people who can't afford a hundred dollar an hour therapist or two hundred dollar an hour hour therapist. Um, you know, you drop the cost of that by a hundred X. So how do I get this for ten dollars a month or five dollars a month? That's the that's the big opportunity. And how do I in doing so, you would hundreds the number of people that get this benefit, right? It's a win win. And uh you know, I don't know the exact specifics. Like, you know, you may need It's gonna take some time to train this to be good. Um, there may be some things like you know the difference between creating drugs or a supplement, like you have to get

You have to do like either clinical trials and get FDA approval or You just create a vitamin and you can like sell that online tomorrow. Um, you know, it might have to be framed less medically and more like a life coach. I'm not sure. But The idea of providing therapy for everybody

It's a big idea. Number eight. Robots that automate warehousing. So I for my e commerce business was running a warehouse for I don't know a year, year and a half. Uh, we had uh ten thousand or fifteen thousand square foot.

facility here in California and we had Ten, twenty people there. Absolute pain in the ass. For everybody. Nobody liked it. They didn't like working there. We didn't like having people there. We didn't like running the thing. It was slow. It was expensive. It was bad in like pretty much every single way. And then you look at Amazon. And Amazon has invested billions of dollars. I've read anything from ten billion dollars all the way up to a hundred as a estimate of how much they've invested in R D.

Around their warehouse automation. Uh back in the mid-2000s, they bought a company for almost a billion dollars, Kiva, I think Kiva Systems. And those are those little sleds. You can see these insane videos online. The sled basically like goes into the warehouse, finds the set of boxes that somebody ordered something from

Picks it up. Drives back and these are all like there's hundreds of these going at once and they're all like part of one big brain. So they know how to never bump into each other. Um, and so they then they drive all the way up to a human who's sitting in a chair who just pulls the item out of the box, puts it in the package. And um that's you know, what the Amazon product is. And this is a perfect example of my Export framework.

So my export business framework is basically it's a way to generate business ideas, which is you look at any big company. And you see, what did they spend millions of dollars building a homebrew solution for? Something that uh works for them and made their life better. And then can you export that idea? as a product that any company could use without having to spend the money on the R and D. Tons of examples of this. Uh simple one. Launch Darkly.

Um billion dollar company now. They were working at Facebook. Facebook had a feature that they had built internal uh a product they had bit built internally, spent a bunch of engineering resources building, which was a way To launch new features under feature flags, meaning

You launch a feature, it's in the app, but you can turn it on for five percent of the population. If if it's bug free, then you can turn it on for 25% of the population. Or if it starts to have a bug, you can Turn it off quickly, uh remotely from your server. So idea of future flags. They productized, took it out there and said, Hey, the thing that Facebook uses for their app, you should use in your app. And of course, it works. So I think somebody's gonna do that here with Amazon's warehouse technology.

D I'll just give you a crazy stat. Just the this stat is the business plan for this business, right? I talk about this idea of one chart businesses, one stat businesses. It's A single stat. That basically

encapsulates the entire opportunity, which is that today Two percent of all warehouses use robotics. Right. So two percent of all fulfillment warehouses are using robots today. That number's going very close to a hundred percent. And so just the shift from what's going to take it from two percent to a hundred percent. You could just sit down and brainstorm what is that gonna take? Is it New robotics technology is it?

Better sales. Uh you know, better sales and development process. Is it uh consulting practice? What are the different ways you could take that number from two to a hundred? I think that's just one big opportunity. All right, number seven. Uh, similar to what I just said, consulting. McKinsey for AI.

So Technologies come, but they don't It's not evenly distributed. It doesn't just get everywhere all at once, right? There's still like I don't know, four million people would dial up internet using AOL we can get online right now in in the in the United States. And so um it takes time for these technologies to sort of propagate through the through the community, through the population. And so AI.

AI does all this amazing stuff. It can help businesses become more efficient, more smart, more intelligent, serve their customers better. But it's not just gonna like appear overnight in every company. Um At all. No way. And so

I think. Somebody can build a killer combo of Conferences. Content and consulting, the three Cs. Package those together. And build something. So here's what I would do. If I'm working at McKinsey, right?

I'm one of these, you know, fancy pants smart people who works at K gets a job at McKinsey. And You have two choices. You're either gonna grind the McKinsey ladder for like the next, I don't know, five to ten years. with the end goal of maybe becoming a partner someday and making a million bucks a year. Or

Door number two. Quit your job tomorrow. And launch a AI specific consulting practice. That is going to identify one type of customer. Maybe it's a mid market industrial companies or it's lawyer law firms or dental practices or whatever.

And identify AI market fit. So identify one AI market. tool or process that would help one type of customer. And start there. Start consulting there. You can build a multi million dollar service business from there and stack more and more.

And basically in the same ten years, instead of just grinding it out at McKinsey Just Spend five years doing this on AI, uh building the AI consulting company and sell it back to McKinsey for a hundred or a thousand X to pay out. Uh, you know, you I believe that there's gonna be billion dollar consulting companies that are specifically just about A AI that The big consulting companies, Deloitte

P D C, McKinsey, et cetera. They're gonna need to buy. They're gonna acquire practices that That do this. And so I think if you have the the the chops to do it, conferences, content, and consulting, I think a a combo of those three. Uh would work. And specifically around conferences.

What I don't mean is What I think everybody wants to do is create the AI conference. I th that's cool. Somebody's gonna do that, but that's also very crowded. Instead, I think the easier opportunity is to create the AI for X conference. So

AI for healthcare comrades. Hey, healthcare, you work you you have a healthcare company? Uh, we have a conference that's specifically about m marrying The best AI companies and startups and and experts. to healthcare companies like you and seeing how You guys are gonna be using AI in the next three years.

in order to build a better company. And I think you could do that with Every every niche, every industry. Every industry could have this. So you could do this in healthcare. You could do this in Um Whatever. You could do this in farming. You could do this in any Any industry, any vertical industry you could you could create conferences around that. So

I think that's Separately just a good idea. All right, next one. Cameo Okay, so

Cameo was this app. That Got really popular'cause it lets you buy Shout outs and greetings from celebrities. Great.

But if we just step back for a second, like Influencers and celebrities make money off their name, their face, their voice, all that. And today, if they want to do that, they have to cut these deals with companies. They have to agree, hey, you're gonna have to fly out to Tucson and we're gonna film this commercial, and you're gonna be here on Settle Day. You have to read these lines and it's it's Pain in the ass, and that's why you have to charge a bunch of money for it.

Yep. Now that AI's here, we have something called deep fake technology, which basically means you can make a fake Video. of anyone's face. You've probably seen The uh the deep fake Tom Cruise.

Or you've seen the deep fake um music video that's that was made where the guy's shape face was shifting from one celebrity to the next. Um Indiana Jones, I think use deep fake tech to have like the young Indiana versus the the old Harrison Fords uh Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones. D fakes are getting really, really good. And um

So this is an opportunity. Now here's the pro here's where everyone gets it wrong. People think entrepreneurs think. I talked to a lot of startups that do this, they're pitching me for investment and they're like, We're gonna make This deep fake tech, it's gonna be great. It's not a tech problem really right now. It's actually a rights problem. So what somebody needs to do

The move here is not to go all in on product. But to go all in. Business. Which is a total narrative violation. Nobody says, Hey, go all in on business, but that's what you need to do for this business. What you gotta do is create some sort of

Digital likeness. License. You need to go to athletes and celebrities, everybody CAA represents and WME. You gotta go to them and you gotta get partner with them and basically say, Hey, I'd like to sign up to be your rights provider, rights holder and provider and license. Um licensing technology.

For you. So that any time a brand comes and wants to use your name and face and voice. Um They can do so and you can get paid for it. They can have the official training data for you. They can have your signature and your rights. That saying you're you're allowed to use my face and my voice to do this. And then after you have the rights, once you lo and and this is beautiful, by the way, because

We all know in businesses. The value of a business is in the defense ability. And the defensibility here is not the technology. It's the rights ownership. So if you can go lock up the rights, there's a land grab right now. If you can go lock up the rights

Um And you own that. Right. You either license it from them and then you sublicense it out, or You create the product that they use to manage their rights and licenses.

Uh you have a moat because there's People only want the celebrities celebrities to do this. And so um Whoever gets them first wins. And after that you can either buy technology, partner with technology, do whatever you want to actually deliver. Just deep fake stuff. And so

You know, in the future when LeBron James does a McDonald's commercial, he's not gonna have to go fly to Georgia and film that commercial. They're just gonna Sa put in an API request. Uh

Pay the money. Get the license. To his face, his voice, his whatever. Then they're gonna be able to script it and he's gonna be able to sign off for approval. That's it. Like that's how the whole process is gonna go. He's gonna make

More money. With less time. That's where that's going. So idea number five is The opposite of that. The anti cameo. So I was on TikTok yesterday.

And I saw this video of Mr. Beast giving away iPhones. Now. Your boy's not a dummy, so I know he's not actually doing that. This was a deep fake. But a lot of people didn't know that. They were clicking on it. And in fact, Mr. Beast tweeted this out was like, Hey Uh

A lot of people are seeing this and this is Fed up. How can I get rid of this? Like, how do I stop this? This is terrible. You're using my face. In ways that I definitely don't want Um Similarly, I saw, you know, Taylor Swift is all the rage right now because she's dating Travis Kelsey. Um, somebody used Midjourney or one of the AI

Image tools. To make Photos of Taylor Swift like smoking weed or whatever, like They put her in a bunch of compromising situations that you wouldn't want to be in. She doesn't want to be in. That's bad for her brand, but now it's easy for anybody to just deep fake that. And so um

You need an anti cameo. So the so protection So the take down and protection and detection and monitoring service for all these celebrities to say, Hey We are scouring the web to make sure your face is not showing up in deep fake porn or in

ads that you're not actually in endorsing and things like that. Um, that's gonna become a no brainer business. It's a it's a Consequence of how good this technology is. And by the way. For all my crypto haters out there, this is a great blockchain use case. There's a company doing this.

That um Basically what they do is they say Yeah, we're gonna basically let you create uh every everyone who who is a celebrity or whatever, anybody, any company You have a private key? And so anytime there's media out there

You can sign the sign the media with your private keys that only you have controlled. To say yes, this is real, I actually said this. I actually vouch for this. I actually created this. I actually endorsed this. And what's gonna happen is that in the future, media that doesn't have that digital signature Is gonna be seen as untrustworthy. And so

What they did with the blockchain was very smart, was they let anybody create their keys, their digital signature, so that they can sign off on these. And have it encoded. That yes. I indeed.

Did say this, do say this, I endorse this, I allowed for this. Um So that's gonna be a big deal. All right, number four. AI Tutors.

So uh education is obviously a big space. How amazing would it be if everybody had their own AI tutor. So everybody had a patient Infinitely intelligent. Um

Tutor who is going to Let them just Take a picture of the problem that you're trying to solve. You can ask me to explain it. You can ask me for more examples. You can ask me to go slower. You can ask me to go faster. You can

Qui I the tutor can quiz you after they've explained it to you once to make sure that you understand the concept. The tutor can draw diagrams, the tutor can animate diagrams. Faster than any human tutor could be. Uh better than anyone could on a chalkboard. And um and ultimately they can keep track of what you have mastery on and where you need work and it can kind of customize a curriculum.

That fits you versus just you going by the book of whatever Whatever the herd is trying to learn right now. And so I think an amazing thing that's gonna happen is that We're gonna get these AI tutors that are really gonna help You know, help teach you. And I think this is one of the big use cases of Chad GPT today. It's like

Sort of like homework. shortcuts. But I think part of those shortcuts are gonna be not just do it for you, but Uh explain it. Explain it to me, if I wanna learn, right? And so You're not gonna be able to force people to learn, but for the people who do wanna learn, I think an AI tutor is gonna be a kind of a game changer. I know for me, I used to love watching con Academy videos.

Any time I had a question, because Sal Khan has just been amazing. Teacher. He could teach millions of people'cause he's Patient, he's clear. He uh has a very good little drawing setup.

This is what's gonna happen with AI. We're gonna have Sal Cons for all of us. Some that are funny, some that are good at math, some that are good at Um really slow explanations, some of that are very advanced and very to keep you on your toes, you're gonna have different AI tutors to choose from. Okay, number three. Call center accent changes. This is a fun one. So um a lot of customer service help, as we know, is offshore. It's cheaper.

That's why businesses do it. However, there's one big cost that. Yeah, people get enraged when you call You know, you're calling Dell for help and uh, you know, all of a sudden You're getting Arjun in India who says, Hey, it's Arjun from Dell and

He's got the accent and he doesn't quite understand what you're saying, the connection isn't great, blah blah blah. Well, there's companies right now that are doing AI accent removal. So what they're doing is They The guy Argent's in India.

But when he talks, he sounds like Adam in you know, California. Um because on the fly they're able to adjust Using AI, his voice. So that he doesn't have the accent. And so think about it, if your company

Would you not pay an extra whatever five percent, ten percent? To be able to remove accents from all of your Your uh customer support people so that Um, you know, you have higher NPS, higher cust h higher uh customer service scores, and less less issues and complaints, of course. Course you will.

And so um Now you t you multiply that across a very big industry of customer support. And that's the That's a that's one really specific way that You take this technol technology unlock. Uh

You know, being able to imitate anyone's voice. And you apply it. In a business context. So number two. I had to do it.

How to do it. You know me. I'm the guy's been telling that OnlyFans is gonna be a big business for for years now. AI porn. Or AKA the fantasy factory. So porn is one of the biggest markets in the world.

Uh historically porn has been an early adopter of new technology. So video streaming, you know, early on was used for porn. Online payments early on was used for porn. And so porn has been an early adopter of many new technologies. Um And I think there's a big benefit for AI porn. So first I think on the consumer side, you're gonna have On the demand side.

You have infinite personalization to your taste. Like have you ever gone to a porn site and seen how many categories there are? There's like A trillion categories. Why? Because there's a trillion fantasies that people have. that they're looking for. And um You know what, whatever however number of categories they have, there's probably actually room for a hundred times more.

Right, because that's just what they're able to service. That's not actually the limitations of what people want or what they're interested in. And so Infinite personalization is w is the first thing. So what exactly is your thing? We can provide that to you. That's gonna beat out somebody else who just says, Here's what I have. Do you like it?

Right. So it's like the difference between You know. Going to Blockbuster back in the day and seeing Twenty five movies on the shelf. versus Netflix or Amazon, which have an infinite shelf.

Um It's the difference between, you know, uh watching, you know, one episode of America's Funniest Home Videos versus opening up TikTok anytime you want, swipe and getting personalized. Entertainment, bite size entertainment for you. In an infinite d for an infinite scroll. Right. Like it's one is a lot more powerful and and and uh

And and Uh Will satisfy demand much better. Okay, then the supply side. AI porn, I believe, is more ethical. So, you know, just the like the way we have plant based proteins and

Cruelty free makeup and vegan leather. No humans are gonna be harmed in the production of this video, right? Like I think that Uh the idea that we could s satisfy the demand for porn without Subjecting people to the lifestyle of being a porn professional.

Um is Is that what they call them? I like how they don't call themselves porn professionals, porn stars. Like that. I'm a business star, not an entrepreneur. Um

Yeah. So I think that's gonna happen. And then I think for the companies, you drop your cogs down, right? So like You don't have to worry about Uh all the take down notices and and copyright issues and lawsuits that you're gonna ha that you have from uh from people uploading stolen works. Or having to share revenue with all the production companies.

There's gonna drop down to whatever the cost is of the GPU to create the thing. Right. That's g that's what it's gonna drop down to. And so I believe you know. If you ever go wanna go down a rabbit hole, go look up the company Mind Geek in Canada. They own all the porn sites. They're you know a multi multi billion dollar conglomerate just shit spinning off.

Tons and tons of cash. Somebody's gonna do somebody's gonna go after that market with AI. And I think They will win because Again.

Yeah. A way more powerful tool to satisfy demand. Way lower costs and more ethical supply. That's a winning formula. All right. Now we're here. Number one.

This is the this is the winner of my list. Okay. This is the number one biggest opportunity. And I hate to be that guy that's like this is the biggest opportunity of our lifetimes, right? Like timeshare guy. All the timeshare guys who are now YouTubers just selling the biggest the biggest next big thing. Uh, but in this case, I think it's actually warranted. I mean AI AI is a big big freaking deal, right? Like uh you gotta be nuts to be denying that at this point. And um Within AI, this is what I genuinely believe is the biggest opportunity. So let me just

Rewind for a second. If you think about the previous waves, I count four waves. Um in my lifetime. Of giant sort of inflections or opportunities, the g the sort of like the big gold rush moments, the huge tidal waves.

that you could go surf as an entrepreneur. So The first one was Early internet. Right. And now you have what they used to call the information superhighway, if you remember that dorky phrase.

Uh, but it was right. Information was the thing, the ability to find anything. And there's really two big winners. So Google and Amazon were the two biggest winners of the information find anything. Paradigm. And what you could do is, you know, Google lets you go find any information and Amazon let you go find any stuff. And those two created a trillion dollars or more than a trillion dollars, almost two trillion dollars.

of value just on those two companies alone out of the information way. Second wave you then got was communication. So it started with email, but then quickly became all social networking social media. So Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Snapchat. Uh, Pinterest, WhatsApp, YouTube, all of that, right? So the ability for people to communicate with each other. And this even extended, by the way, to like

Riders connecting communicating with drivers, right? And Uber, basically the ability to say, I need a ride and somebody'll say, I have a ride for you, right? That connecting the dots, p human coordination and communication was the big second wave. And again A trillion dollars plus of market value created out of that communication. Wave that came. Okay, then what's come next? And then you had the value wave, and this was Now we're talking uh early twenty tens up to like they said the last decade, twenty ten to twenty twenty.

And this is Crypto. So Bitcoin, Ethereum, just those two alone are a trillion dollars. A value that got created, right? The best investment you could make since The the year I graduated, twenty ten.

Would have been into Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those are that is the best asset that that that was created, the best highest performer. And uh again, so we had digital Information. Then we had digital communication. Then we had digital value.

And so you know the ability to have the digital money and to dig digital value. And so now what's the next one? What's number four, right? Coming into the twenty twenties. We're going from twenty twenty to twenty thirty, what's gonna be the next one? I believe it's digital intelligence. So that's AI. Okay, so who's gonna be the Bitcoin, who's gonna be the Google, who's gonna be the Facebook of the intelligence way? Well, so far we've seen, you know, NVIDIA make chips. They've done extremely well. We've seen OpenAI become almost a hundred billion dollar company.

Uh bye. Training these models that you can use for AI applications. And I think those are great, but I think there's gonna be more. And the one that I think is missing Is You know w I had two kind of that I was thinking about. The first one was self driving cars, because I'm like okay, that's a

You know, driving is a huge part of of human life. And when that goes self driving, you're gonna have safer, more efficient, more comfortable, more entertainment, you're gonna have a better right experience and that's gonna obviously change the way that cars work, right? Cars are parked ninety percent of the time. But when they're self driving.

You're gonna park your car and you're gonna say, Go make me money, car, and the car's gonna go drive around and be an Uber for people picking people up. Right. So just a game changer in terms of how this works. We're gonna need less cars, which means we need less parking, which means we need different roads and city structures. There's a whole bunch of things that can change. But as I was thinking about that, I thought about a bigger Opportunity. The bigger opportunity is

actually related. So I was like, oh man, self-driving cars are gonna be great because you just get in the car and you just say your destination. And then the car is gonna figure out all the things to do to get you to your goal. So I just say I'm trying to. Hey, take me to Starbucks. It's gonna say, great, look up the nearest Starbucks, find the address, input the address to navigation, turn the car on, shift gears from park to drive, accelerate, stop at the stop sign, signal, turn, shift lanes, exit the highway, whatever, right? All of the middle steps, it's gonna create a list. It's gonna do them. And what I realized was that's not gonna stop at just cars.

That the biggest opportunity is Is self doing To do list. Just like we have the self driving. Core. And what's a self doing to do list? A self doing to do list is gonna be

Well, all of our productivity today comes from basically the c following The following system. Person thinks what they want. Goal. Then they create

a list of actions that they think will move them in the direction of that goal. And then they do those actions. And the the extent to which you hit your goals is Based on your ability to like know what you want. Create the list of things you need to do to get there and then actually do the list. Well, I think what AI is gonna do is actually change how that works. Um

It's actually going to let you just say what you want. AI will then generate the list. And then it'll just do it. And so and we've seen this, by the way. So the what this is called is it right now they're calling this the agents. And agents might end up being the uh Information super highway, like a a word, you know, that that gets phased out over time. But

Uh here's the the simple model. We've all used chat GPT. Where you type something in and it gives you an answer. And The better question you asked the Better answer it'll give you or the You have to know what to prompt it to do. It if you don't do anything, it's just gonna sit there. It's gonna do absolutely nothing for you.

Whereas There's a new model. called AI agent. What AI agents are based on is But you don't need to tell it. You don't need to ask it specific questions or give it specific instructions for a task.

All you need to do Is tell the AI what you want as your goal. And what you want as your goal. is um let's just take an example. Hey, um, I run a

E commerce business. And I wanna reduce um My inventory waste. Okay, so I'm gonna reduce my I'm gonna make my inventory more efficient. So

The AI could then generate a list of things to do. Analyze the uh inventory to find uh h high fast movers and slow movers. And then it will take the f uh slow movers and it will put them on sale. It will take the fast movers and it will analyze, you know, um what you're lacking, uh you know, where there's more demand than than you have supply and stock. It'll p create a purchase order, send the purchase order to the factory, and get the next order delivered for you. So

You could see in theory. How You'd be able to just say a goal. And have the AI create a list and then do it. Another You know.

silly example. Let's say I wanted to lose fifteen pounds. Well, we all know to lose fifteen pounds what you need to do is You need a Uh you know. Uh. Burn more calories than you're going to to consume.

Well, in theory, AI is gonna be able to help you do that. So you're gonna say, I wanna lose weight and it's gonna say, Great. We are gonna take your current weight. We're gonna then create a calorie meal plan of uh how many calories you're supposed to intake per day and how many you're supposed to burn per day, which can create a workout plan for you. It's gonna create a uh A meal plan for you. It's gonna then take the meal plan, it's gonna create uh break that down into recipes, break the recipes down into ingredients. It's gonna go on to Instacart. It's gonna order the ingredients to your house.

For you. Um, and you know, there you go. Right. So it's gonna take you as far as it can. It's not gonna be able to do every single thing in the real world until you have a robot sitting in your house that's gonna then take those groceries and it's gonna prepare the meal for you. Right. Like Jetson style. Um and we're talking about in the future, but like

This is the future. Like I mean Dude, I used to have This I'm holding up my phone, like my cell phone right now, that I can use to run my business, to entertain myself endlessly for hours, to play video games, to navigate to all around the world. Like I can I can pay for things on this. I don't need my wallet. It's insane, right? This thing this thing is insane to twelve year old me. And twelve year old me is not that long ago. That's twenty years ago or whatever. It's like Twelve year old me would be mind blown because twelve year old me had just gotten their first computer in their house. We used to have a computer room.

There was a th a room in our house called the computer room. And whoever wanted to use the computer had to go to the computer room. And when you're in the computer room, then we got the internet through a CD from AOL. And then when we had that, you used to have to pick and choose, do you want to be able to receive phone calls as a house or do you want to be on the internet? Cause if somebody picked up the phone when you were on the internet, you would like disconnect from the internet and they would hear crazy internet sounds. Um like You It was insane. Like the the way that we were when I you know when I started on the internet to what Now I holding my iPhone fifteen Pro Max

With you know, wireless internet while I'm driving or on an airplane. Is mind blowing. And so all I'm asking you to do is just sort of think twenty years in the future. The idea that we're gonna have you know our

Jetsons robot in our house and we're gonna be able to tell our to do list just what our wishes and dreams are, and then it's gonna create the list and do them. That's the big idea. That is the big idea. That is the idea that It's mind blowing. That's also the idea that scares people, by the way, because You know, the thought is

Someone says, Hey, I wanna Maximize m you know, uh what's it, the paper clip example. I want to maximize the production of paper clips or sales for my paper clips. And it's like, okay. Great, the AI it got your goal and it doesn't care what comes in the way, right? It's gonna start shredding cars to create scrap metal to produce more paper clips, right? It will It will do anything to hit that goal. And so that's the scary part about AI. And now I'm not the guy

To do the AI safety conversation and the AI ethics conversation. That's not me. I'm an idea guy. Uh I I'm thinking about w how technology can do really cool things that will improve people's lives. And of course, as we do them, we're gonna need to put in guide you know, guardrails and guidelines and be able to not, you know. crush all of civilization in the process.

But um That's kind of a debut downer. I'm not really looking to get into that conversation. What I'm excited about is a future where Work gets done for you. That's what's gonna come from the intelligence wave. That's different than the value wave, the communication wave, or the information wave. The intelligence wave is gonna do intelligent things. It's gonna use its brain for you, right? It's got this right side of the AI brain that can do creative shit. It can draw, it can write, it can sing, it can make songs, it can rap, it can do anything. And then on the left side it's got this like informational analytical brain that can

You dump in a PDF and it'll summarize it for you in a second. It'll generate a PL for your business. It'll give you advice, uh strategic advice on your taxes, right? Like it can do all these things that are highly Let's say left brain. And so now we have this AI intelligence brain and the ideas that I came up with

Or just my first pass at what's going to come from this. I want to hear what you're going to do. I mean, I'm investing in this space. If you're doing something cool, reach out to me, Sean at SeanPori.com. I wanna hear what your ideas are. And I want to hear what you think about these. Go in the YouTube comments and let me know because That's it. Those are my ideas from ten to one. I hope you liked it. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope I started a little bonfire to bring. All right, I'm out of here. I feel like I can rule the world a low

be what I want to I put my all in it like my day song On the roadless travel never looking back
