The 7 year old was asking what was one thing I wanted to see and that was my first answer. Didn't even know there was a show tonight!

Communicating why a 50 year mortgage costs more, overall, than a 30 year mortgage should not be a hard task.

The problem is the average American is both functionally illiterate and innumerate, as a deliberate result of decades of the policies made by the very people pushing for 50 year mortgages.

We charged $100/month for an Al that was really just two guys surviving on pizza.
We scaled Fireflies to a $1B valuation after 6 failures from our original crypto food delivery idea.
Nothing motivates you more than the pressure of living month to month with no safety net.
Before I explain how 2 broke guys validated a $1B idea, you need to understand we were couch surfing while desperately chasing our entrepreneurial dreams. An Al notetaker was our last hope after 6 ideas our friends claimed were "genius".
The best way to validate your business idea is by becoming the product yourself.
We told our customers there's an "Al that'll join a meeting." In reality it was just me and my cofounder calling in to the meeting sitting there silently and taking notes by hand.

When customers scheduled a meeting, we'd manually dial in as "Fred from Fireflies.ai" We'd sit there silently, take detailed notes, and send them 10 minutes later. After taking notes for 100+ meetings (and falling asleep in many), we were finally able to make enough money to pay the $750/month rent for a tiny SF living room. That was the point when we said let's stop and automate everything, in 2017. Since then, security, privacy, and data protection became foundational to everything we built (see my other posts).
The best prototype was 2 guys surviving on pizza. Validation before automation saved us from our 7th failure.

Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison.

โ€œIf somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.โ€

The only way the dream scenario works...

Bond in the shower singing:

It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smokin' weed...
