I build things. And plant flags 🇮🇳🇦🇷🇰🇷🇲🇽 Now

This is 6 month-old tech now, but it STILL blows my mind 🤯 that AI can turn any 2D product photo into rotating 3D like this.

My cockiness is directly correlated to my $ revenues that month ... In December I was a big asshole to everyone .. This month I am a lowly yes-man servant being nice to everyone.

Oh how the turns have tables

Diving into AI Film Making these days .. and was reminded of Deviantart .. oh how I miss that platform! Selling photoshup brushes was my first ever internet $ back in 2006

Following AI Film Makers remind me of Deviantart in the early days. ~ 100 AI artists .. telling their stories with a new tool in a completely new way. Exciting!

AI in video will give birth to new Mr Beast type winners. Great story tellers, building new audience, without paying for huge production budgets.

What changed last 3 days .. nothing much just BTS launching new merch 😅 Collectibles Business is a weird one .. days of silence and then boom it explodes

I have been deep-diving into AI Video gen and it's so overwhelming (exciting too, yes) .. but there is a new break through almost every week now.

Whenever I force myself to find business ideas, they never work. It's best to wander a bit, putter around, build random stuff and things fall into place later .. 🙏

We are so back

Distribution is the only moat.

Excited for February! 🇦🇷 Argentina Open 2025 finals lets gooooo

I have a very Larry David question - "What's the deadline for wishing happy new year?"

Do I still have to say it end of Jan? Will people get angry if I don't? Ugh what a mess

If I had more time & money in life I would build a WIKIMEDIA RUN BY AI AGENTS

- constantly scrape fresh news + reformat + organise
- auto summarise new info into Tweets, email newsletters, Whatsapp channels etc

Want to run a news media co? No need to have a 100 editors for content management.

Made my first sale from the Programmatic SEO landing pages I built for Oppa Store .. if it continues to pick up I will expand content to become a full K-pop Media house.

A wikipedia run by AI agents? Damn sounds exciting.

What a horrible start to 2025

- Sales down 25% (no new exciting drops)
- Lunar new year in Korea everything shut for 7 days
- Fedex increased price by 5%
- Google ads account shut down
- Shopify payouts creating issues

Sigh .. never easy 🤗 Let's keep goingggggggg
January 27, 2025 at 6:23 PM
I have two options to grow Oppa Store -

A - Move to Korea and do logistics myself (inventory procurement, oversee packaging etc)
B - Continue paying contractors for it

A gives me more profits, B gives me more time. In 2024 I had to dip into my savings many times.. dunno

If Zuck is saying META will replace mid-level engineers with AI in 2025.. what does it mean for the future?

- Lack of jobs for fresh grads?
- What about senior devs? Will they be replaced or augmented?
- Is learning to sell (build public?) the only way out?
January 26, 2025 at 6:23 PM
I would pay lot of $$$ for Alexa with ChatGPT for my kiddo. A voice-only smart AI for us to play games with, ask questions, help solve puzzles.. will be awesome.

Pity that Alexa sucks !@!@#

Want to be free of pollution or effects of climate change? Be location independent. Get multiple residencies and citizenships. Go where you are treated best.

This is my RFM chart (recency-frequency-monetary). Apart from personalised email campaigns what are some ideas to move my Dormant-At Risk cohorts into champions?

Gimme ideas. I am open to anything even if I have to personally Whatsapp customers

People are outright copying us now. Domain name & logo copied by these scammers. Time to invest in trademarks I guess .. 🥹
January 21, 2025 at 10:23 AM
In last 90 days, 34% of orders on Oppa Store were "PAY VIA INSTALLMENTS". Customers use Shop Pay or Paypal for this .. and we have to pay 1.5% extra platform fees for it but completely worth it.
January 21, 2025 at 3:32 AM
"road 1, stalin nagar, red house next to graveyard" --> this is a real address on an order that just got shipped 😅
January 17, 2025 at 6:23 PM
I don't think traditional SEO is gonna survive much longer .. but it was definitely fun to create these ~ 1500 odd K-pop Band Profiles using AI and little code.

Fingers crossed for boost in organic $$

One sad part about living in Argentina is - lack of entrepreneurs and startup folks. I miss the excitement and meeting inspirational people. If you are someone who is working on something, or planning to launch something soon, let us connect.

It's time to do some fraandship.
