Intelligence is cheap

Creativity is priceless

Sup nerds,

The cost of intelligence is going to zero.

ChatGPT is only $20/mo. You can use AI to animate yourself in seconds. You can build entire apps with AI for $30. And oh yeah, if you don’t like one AI model, you can switch to another one of the new AI models popping up every week because intelligence is infinite and abundant. The cost of intelligence is going to zero.

But wanna know what’s still priceless and even more rare than ever????

CREATIVITY.

If you’re a creative maniac like me, every moment working on boring, uncreative stuff is a waste of time.

That’s why I partnered with Chargeflow on this post.

Because I hate chargebacks!!

More than 7,000 businesses, including Hexclad and Olipop, as well as the biggest SaaS companies, like Notion and Calendly are using Chargeflow to recover & prevent Chargebacks on autopilot.

  • It takes less than 90 seconds for a brand to sign up.

  • Pricing is success-based; you only pay when they win chargebacks.

  • No contracts or BS. Service can be stopped with a click of a button. That means more time creating.

Ok now let’s get back to creativity.

This week, I launched the coolest feature I’ve ever built.

You can now animate your memes, art, brand logos, or even images of yourself all inside of Memelord Technologies. We’re making memelord movies baby. I haven’t had this much fun on my laptop since I discovered I naked women on the internet!

You saw my profile picture come to life above.

Meme Animation go brrrr

I animated the Duolingo Owl to shoot people.

Duo got shooters 🔫

I animated the Tesla Optimus robot to drink Red Bull on Mars.

The official religion of Mars is Red Bull Futurism

I face-swapped myself onto this meme then animated myself typing.

Say it with me: I’m going to succeed because I’m crazy!

And much more all inside of my own software!!!

With Memelord Pro, you can literally just animate things. You can make mini memelord movies all from the comfort of your bedroom in minutes.

We live in literally the best time to be a creative ever. I don’t even know how to code and I’m building this software!!! Any of my users can now animate stuff that would’ve cost thousands of dollars and 100s of hours. If you’re a creative dreamer (and a hard worker), you can literally just do things. I’m making all my dreams come true thanks to the internet.

Since I was a kid, I dreamed of having my own comedy show on TV.

But I grew up in Bumfuck, Pennsylvania and had no connections to Hollywood so I’ve spent the last 10+ years building leverage on the internet. All the crazy creative ideas and businesses, it’s always been bigger than software and tweets. It’s always been about making movies and shows.

I’m not where I wanna be yet, but I’m getting closer.

On Thursday, I announced the launch of my first real series Silly Valley Ventures.

Every week, me and my friends build startup ideas so stupid they’re smart. In our first episode, we built Duofucko (Duolingo only for learning curse words).

The idea for Silly Valley started from coming up with stupid startup ideas on my podcast and then I had the realization that thanks to AI and no-code, I could actually build them.

Why should I just talk about them???????

Building software is easier than ever (we built Duofucko in like 2 hours). So fuck it, we’re gonna actually build our stupid ideas and film it all!

Intelligence is abundant, creativity is rarer than ever.

Software as content

Because software is cheaper than ever to build, software is the new content.

For the last 20 years, tech companies have given out free PDFs and e-books as lead magnets, but now it’s actually cheaper to build free tools as lead magnets. If you’re sleeping on free tool marketing, wake the fuck up!

I built the JD Vance meme maker in 20 minutes and drove $1000s in sales and signups. Same thing with my gigachad meme maker, brand mascot maker, marketing memes gallery, and more. See my guide here on how to pick tools to build.

4 months ago, I had the Head of Marketing at Wiz on my podcast. He told me that while free tools are cool, he thought free games would be the new free tools. I was like no way, how could people make games for free? Well, if you’ve been paying attention to the vibe coding phenomenon online, Tom was absolutely right on the money. I guess there’s a reason they got that $32B acquisition from Google last week….

a16z GP Andrew Chen wrote a good piece on “software as content”.

“Most code will be written (generated?) by the time rich. Thus, most code will be written by kids/students rather than software engineers. This is the same trend as video, photos, and other social media. Of course this seems surprising because today most software is being written by highly trained adults, who are generally time poor but money rich. This will change, and it means that over time, software will become dominated by youth culture the same way that social media is. Are you ready for software memes? Or memes in the form of software? It’s all coming.”

I wonder where he got the idea of “software memes” from (cough cough I told him about Memelord Technologies 2 weeks ago and a16z is searching me up on LinkedIn).

Well, we are taking this idea extremely literally with Silly valley Ventures.

The silly software we’ll be launching soon is insane. If you think that 30-second Duofucko bit was funny, get ready to see some wild shit.

Remember folks: Intelligence is cheap, creativity is priceless.
