Day 2. Okay, so yesterday I told you I'm building software with zero coding experience. Today I'm showing you what it actually is—and why I can't stop thinking about it. I've worked with so many small business owners who pour everything into their product, only to watch it sit unseen online because their photos look... lifeless. Meanwhile, big brands drop $10k on a single shoot and dominate. That gap keeps me up at night. So here's what I'm building: a tool that transforms boring product photos into cinematic visuals that tell stories. Upload your product. Choose a vibe—Golden Hour Story, Urban Energy, Minimal Luxury. Get something that makes people stop scrolling. It's not about making things "prettier." It's about giving small brands the same storytelling power as the ones with million-dollar budgets. Tomorrow: I introduce you to my AI co-founder. Things are about to get interesting. 22 days left.

Day 1. I've been putting this off all year. Every excuse in the book. But it's December 8th. New Year's Eve is in 24 days. Here's what I'm building: A tool that gives small brands cinematic product visuals—without the $10k photographer. The catch? I don't know how to code. No team. No funding. Just me, AI, and a deadline I can't ignore. Honestly, I don't know if this will work. But I know one thing: waiting for the perfect moment means waiting forever. Done today beats perfect tomorrow. Follow along if you've been putting something off too. Let's build this together. 23 days left.

Amazon just invested in Fable’s Showrunner - the platform some are calling the Netflix of AI. Here’s what it does: – Type a prompt or upload a selfie → get a full animated scene or even a 22-minute episode. – Voices, characters, stories—all generated in seconds. – It launched with Exit Valley, a satire on tech elites, and already has 100,000+ people on the waitlist. – Creators can even earn revenue if others use their characters or worlds. And with Amazon’s Alexa Fund backing it, one thing is clear: storytelling is shifting from passive watching to active creating. 👉 Would you star in your own AI-made show?

Delta Air is reinventing how we pay for flights with AI. Here’s what’s happening: – AI already sets 3% of domestic ticket prices. – By the end of 2025, that’s expected to hit 20%. What this means for travelers: – Fares optimized dynamically based on demand, timing, and buyer behavior. – The airline claims it’s not using personal data to target individuals. My question for you: Should flight prices adapt to each passenger or stay transparent and equal for everyone?

This influencer went viral for her stunning Wimbledon photos. Perfect outfits. Dreamy close-ups. Iconic locations. She gained over 150,000 followers on Instagram… And yet, she’s never set foot in Wimbledon. Because she isn’t real. Her name is Mia Zelu, and every image is 100% AI-generated. Not a photographer. Not a model. Not even a person. The technology behind her is so advanced it can pass as authentic, tricking apps, audiences, and algorithms into believing it’s real. We’ve officially reached the point where AI people are indistinguishable from humans.

Einstein literally blinks and speaks now. This started with just an old grayscale photo—scratched, faded, and worn. Instead of Photoshop or hiring anyone, I used AI. I uploaded the original Einstein photo into ChatGPT with a simple instruction. In seconds, it gave me a perfectly restored and subtly colorized version. Sharp. Clear. It feels like you’re seeing the moment for the very first time. And the best part? You can try the exact same thing yourself. Just copy the prompt below, paste it into ChatGPT, and upload your own image. From there, you can even take it further—drop it into Kling, and your restored photo becomes a full video. Here’s the exact prompt I used: "You are a photo restoration expert. Please restore this old grayscale image by cleaning up any scratches, fading, and noise while keeping the original textures and lighting intact. Then, subtly colorize the image using historically accurate and natural tones, based on the clothing style, environment, and skin tones typical for the era. Do not oversaturate or modernize the image—aim for a realistic, soft color palette that looks like a gentle hand-colored photo. Preserve facial details, shadows, and background elements as they appear. Avoid artistic reinterpretation—keep everything true to the original."
