Transcript

Stop believing Claude social media lies. People are getting on X and showing how easy something was. Business owners are getting distracted because they're just sitting in a car dreaming of how could I do something bigger? So everyone thinks they could go and build their thing now and this is their opportunity to do that. If you're a creator, you don't make a lot of money going out there and being like, "This is so difficult to do and I spent 50 hours doing this." It's easier to say, "I spent an hour and vibe coded this and look at how great this is." Everything is oversimplified. It's just it's not this easy.
