Bonjour,

I don’t make the rules, I just live by them.

The latest Dumb B!tch Hour can be found here. We talked burning Waymos with Deni Ellis Béchard, writer for Scientific American, and had on Bryce, founder of Turnkey on their $30m raise, amongst other things.

Huge win for Polygon this week! X announced Polymarket as their official prediction market. For those living under a rock, Polymarket is built on Polygon.

We’ll be showing up with them in Cannes in just a few short weeks! See you there?

What have I been thinking about this week?

I see one potentially viable path that could save me from being part of the so called “permanent underclass,” it is so stupid it might actually work.

Starting with some low-hanging fruit of generative AI, we have the ASMR Yeti, an account where you can watch a yeti perform ASMR-style clips of him preparing food, fishing, walking through snow, and more. I’m sorry, but it’s actually not the worst thing I’ve seen.

Next up are AI Bible bros, a trend I never needed to witness, where people are prompting with biblical text to create AI-generated, vlog-style clips. In one video, David shows a rock to the camera and says he’s about to 'yeet this little stone at Goliath.' Is it cringe? Is it sacrilegious? I think yes and that I need to turn inward.

But the clip farming extends beyond AI-generated content. The success of a new live-streaming show on Twitter hosted by two dudes had the timeline buzzing over the last few weeks. The main takeaways were:

A. Daily, timely, moment-to-moment content is the only way to please and feed the algorithm.

B. Your long-form content is only as valuable as its ability to be cut down and repackaged into 60-second increments. It seems our TikTok-addled brains are only willing to process information in snippets shorter than a minute.

I say all this to present an opportunity here.

AI Slop → Clip Farming → Audience Aggregation → Monetization

We’re currently living in a brief window of time where one’s ability to churn out an unprecedented amount of AI-generated content that converts into an audience that can later be monetized is the 2025 sister equivalent of your drop-ship-to-your-first-$1million brethren.

So, if you're willing to stoop to the lowest forms of human desire and feed the masses' endless need for internet dopamine, it's right here for you.
