Putting AI on the moon where it is very difficult to reach in the event of a “worse case scenario” feels like a foundationally bad idea.

If you thought Tik Tok was a manipulative, you ain’t seen nothing like a free, open source Chinese AI model designed to influence what Americans think. The HUGE point people miss about the AI wars between our foundational models and those from China, is that if it’s perceived their models are better, and cheaper, China will open source theirs. Our companies, and global developers, will use them for most everything. At that point, not only will China have won the AI tech war, they will have a trojan horse to influence how we all think Scary

Delayed and slow payments cost construction companies an additional $280 billion dollars in financing costs, administrative burden, and project slowdowns. How is this ok? I’m surprised that we are the first to solve for this.

More thoughts on o3: TL;DR: strap in everyone, things are about to get very weird. This model scores 25% on the Frontier Math benchmark. These are math problems so hard almost no human can understand them, let alone solve them. I can't. You can't. Let's face it: the machines are now smarter than all of us. Or, if you insist, than *almost* all of us. What does this mean for our shared future? AIs are about to go to places we can't. They're about to conquer conceptual and scientific realms that will remain, for us, only shadows, or stories of far off lands. They'll build and run this new world for us. Science, maths, engineering, finance, manufacturing, the economy. We'll live in it, but we won't understand it. In some deep sense, we humans will be as children to AIs. This is the Economic Singularity that @RaoulGMI and I have been talking about. All the old social and economic models will break down. A vast enweirdening is ahead. No one can really understand what's coming. Does this means that we humans no longer matter? Are we now irrelevant? Is this the end of human thought and creativity? No, no, and no. We still define what good means to us. We still define what beautiful means. And most important, only we know how it feels to be a human being; only we can truly see one another, and be there for one another, on that level. Yes, There is a deep sense in which we're about to hand the future over to intelligent machines we built. Amid all that, we can still matter. But we have to choose to matter.

When I started HUDU, there was so much I didn’t know. I was a blue-collar construction worker from Iowa trying to launch a tech company… and I had zero technical experience. I couldn’t code. Hell, if I’m being honest, I didn’t even know where to start. But I knew a few things with certainty: I knew that millions of Americans were stretched thin, looking for ways to make a little extra cash. I knew this struggle wasn’t new—it’s been true for generations. I knew that working-class America deserved something better. And I knew there were hundreds of millions of odd jobs scattered across this country—unseen, untapped potential. So I dared to dream: What if every odd job was centralized, brought together in one unified, competitive bid marketplace? What if we had a real solution—a powerful answer to problems facing everyday people? Then there was one thing I didn’t know how to do: Quit. Building HUDU has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done. In the school of hard knocks, lessons are unforgiving, taught by setbacks and missteps. You stumble, fall, and get back up—again and again—until you finally understand what truly works. Yesterday, we hit 10,000 Registered Users. I say ‘Registered Users’ because our marketplace is accessible to everyone—no account needed to explore. You only need an account to list a project or bid on one. Both of which, by the way, are free to do. Our registered users aren’t just browsing; they’re here with purpose. They’re signing up because they see the value. 10,000 people see the value in what we’re building. For anyone who’s ever built something from the ground up, having 10,000 people recognize what you’ve created—that’s the affirmation, the validation, that fuels you. It’s what makes the long days, the sleepless nights, and even the tears all worth it. Today, those tears are tears of joy. We’re still learning, still growing. But every day, we figure it out a little more. I won’t stop, we won’t stop, until we’ve changed the way the world works. So here’s to the next 10,000, and the next, and the next. 💙☑️

This blows my mind. A medical practice only has a 3-4x multiplier on EBITDA? This seems low considering the educational requirements JUST to start. I sold my construction company at a 4x and the startup/ops cost were a fraction of a clinic.

Wouldn’t it be cool to give millions of dollars to SAHM’s, HS/College Students, and just everyday people instead of AD giants? What are your thoughts? How can we make this happen? I’m GOING to make it happen.

HUDU is the Odd Job Marketplace that’s going to change this game forever. It’s free to list, free to bid, no obligations. Check it out at HeyHUDU.com.

One of the most frustrating things about hiring out odd jobs… Spending hours getting bids, checking schedules, sending deposits, then getting left with low quality work… or worse, a job half completed and they ran off with your money.

Gig marketplaces have been getting it wrong for years. The answer is not to niche down but to build a “one stop shop”. Image if there were 100 Amazons, all selling just a category of products. It would never work, and it’s why a marketplace has never “won”.
