Description

**You’re watching part one of a five-part documentary on the AI gold rush and it’s nothing like my usual videos** Right now people are going from an idea on their couch to a million-dollar-a-month company in what feels like weeks. It sounds insane, but I’ve seen it happen. That’s why I brought in one of the best film crews I could find to actually capture it. You’ll see people who spent their last few bucks to fly out to San Francisco and walked away with their lives completely different. You’ll see a company that has basically flatlined and then turned into one of the fastest growing in history. You’ll see me give away $1M dollars in prizes to total beginners who just decided to try .And you’ll see people exactly like you with nothing more than a laptop and an idea — building something real. There’s money sitting in everyone’s laptop right now. You just need to press the right buttons in the right order to get it out. This is a front row seat to the AI gold rush that’s happening right now.

My son asked “Dad, should I even go to college?” and I had nothing. Selwyn Raithe's book gave me the exact roadmap for AI-proof careers. Went from feeling like a useless father to actually having answers but stil not sure what is going to survive.

Thought I would watch the first few minutes then bookmark it for later. But.. couldn't put it down and watched the whole thing. Especially loved the 5k tik story. Can't wait for EP2!

What’s happening right now in this AI “gold rush” feels like something straight out of Selwyn Raithe’s book, the idea that we’re sprinting toward massive breakthroughs while ignoring the cracks forming beneath our feet. This documentary shows the same tension: opportunity and chaos walking hand in hand.
