The Brutal Truth About AI (What It Means For You)


Hey Reader,

AI just replaced me... and I helped it happen.

​You can listen to this email here (like a mini podcast).

This week, I've maybe done too much with AI.

I've trained my own image models.

Created videos from AI images.

Tricked my wife with a clone of my voice.

In fact, the audio link in the beginning is my AI voice.

And I've got bad news.

You've probably heard this before...

AI won't replace you, but someone using AI will.

This isn't just clickbait. It's happening right now.


Don't listen to anyone saying AI is slowing down.

It's not.

In fact, OpenAI (= ChatGPT) just announced they'll soon offer virtual employees.

They price them on perceived IQ:

  • $2k/month for average virtual workers
  • Up to $20k/month for PhD-level expertise

I'm not trying to scare you (ok, maybe a little).

But if you don't catch up fast, things will become overwhelming fast.

I've lived through several seismic shifts in my life:

  • Start of the internet
  • Introduction of mobile phones
  • Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies

And I'm telling you: AI will have the same impact (!).

It's easy to feel tired of all the AI hype. So much bullshit out there.

But rejecting or ignoring it, or just not putting in the needed work, won't help you.

I'm not even talking about you getting replaced. It's much worse.

You might be giving up on the opportunity of your life to make REAL money.

Success in the AI era isn't about fighting the inevitable.

It's about embracing it before everyone else does.

In 2025, we're projected to cross over from the Early Adopters to Early Majority.

But I call bullshit on this, because this is just basic AI use (think: ChatGPT).

In reality, what I have learned this week is that there's so much AI that not even 1% of the world uses.

We're EARLY, and while others whine about AI, others build and make MONEY.

Don't be on the wrong side of history.

Hey Reader, I just spent months testing every AI tool that matters. Thousands of dollars later, I found an AI stack that builds apps faster than anything I’ve ever used. Here’s what I currently use, and what you should be using too. My EXACT AI Tools Setup 1️⃣ AI Editors Cursor Ultra ($200/month) The best AI editor out there right now. I get a full suite of features and can see files being edited in real time. Claude Code Max 5x ($100/month) This is both a blessing and a curse. Best AI...

Hey Reader, The AI coding world is on fire right now. Cursor, the tool everyone used to love, is suddenly in the midst of a sh*tstorm. And honestly, most of the outrage isn't entirely unfounded... Here's what actually happened (and what you need to know). The $20 Dream Is Dead For months, Cursor offered unlimited AI coding for $20/month. 500 fast requests. Unlimited slow requests. Pure joy. But here's the thing everyone knew but nobody wanted to admit: $20/month for unlimited AI was never...

Hey Reader, Last week, something happened that should've broken the internet. While everyone was busy arguing about GPT 5 and Grok 3.5... ... both OpenAI and Anthropic quietly shipped the most important update of 2025. But nobody noticed. This is not clickbait, I promise. And it's going to make a lot of AI coders very, very rich. Let me explain. The Problem Nobody Talked About When MCP servers launched, everyone lost their minds. "This changes everything!" they said. Influencers wouldn't shut...
