Forget "Personal Branding". This Is How You Actually Build a Empire.

The more you focus on building a corporate brand (not just a personal one), the faster you scale beyond the Kylie Jenner $500M ceiling toward L’Oreal’s $50B legacy.

We see B2B marketing as B2C marketing with a 6-month lag.

In the past, companies used to be able to scale on cold emails alone.

Every month, we double down and fine-tune the top 2-3 channels with the greatest returns.

And because we’re lean, we make decisions fast on ideas, experiments, and budgets - which keeps us iterating and improving every hour of every day.

Why OpenAI’s Solution to AI Hallucinations Would Kill ChatGPT Tomorrow The business incentives driving consumer AI development remain fundamentally misaligned with reducing hallucinations.......... The paper provides the most rigorous mathematical explanation yet for why these models confidently state falsehoods. It demonstrates that these aren’t just an unfortunate side effect of the way that AIs are currently trained, but are mathematically inevitable. ........ the researchers prove that even with perfect training data, the problem still exists. ......... The way language models respond to queries—by predicting one word at a time in a sentence, based on probabilities—naturally produces errors. The researchers in fact show that the total error rate for generating sentences is at least twice as high as the error rate the same AI would have on a simple yes/no question, because mistakes can accumulate over multiple predictions. .......... With birthdays of notable figures, for instance, it was found that if 20 percent of such people’s birthdays only appear once in training data, then base models should get at least 20 percent of birthday queries wrong. ......... Consider the implications if ChatGPT started saying “I don’t know” to even 30 percent of queries—a conservative estimate based on the paper’s analysis of factual uncertainty in training data. Users accustomed to receiving confident answers to virtually any question would likely abandon such systems rapidly. ...........

Computational costs favor fast, overconfident responses over slow, uncertain ones.

‘Astonishing’ AI Predicts Over 1,000 Diseases Decades in Advance Trained on over 400,000 patient records, the AI predicts health trajectories for up to 20 years........... Recently, a team from the German Cancer Research Center and collaborators released an AI “oracle” that predicts a person’s risk of getting over 1,000 common diseases decades in the future. Dubbed Delphi-2M, the AI is a type of large language model, like the algorithms powering popular chatbots.
