0:14.3 | You know what I'm excited about Luke and his wife, Liz. |
0:17.1 | They're sort of a team running this company together. |
0:54.5 | Their app, I think they make $8,000 a month. It was back in January, so maybe it's more now. They have like this very simple tool that I think anybody would look at and be like, I could build this in like a weekend. You know, I can build this in like, you know, and usually it's not a weekend of like six months or something. but I could build this very easily by myself, but they're making like a hundred K a year from it. And also, like, that's like, I mean, he was working as a software engineer. I think he went to college. Software engineer was making like 80K a year at a startup, you know, getting underpaid by a startup, and he quit that, and now he's making more than that as an anti- Andy hacker from something very simple that he bootstrapped with his wife and he doesn't know anybody any |

Be honest. Be honest. What ratio of your time are you spending, figuring out the names of these bots versus actually building the bots? It's like 50-50, I would say. It's hard to come up with good bot names. |
1:45.1 | Why don't you use the bots to name the bots? |
1:41.0 | I should. I've tried it. I swear to God, I put names in the GPT4. It sucks. I mean, you've tried to use it for creative writing. It's not that good at coming up with, like, creative writing. it's not that good at being funny. |
1:43.7 | Parsley is in the prompt, but yeah, creative writing. Yeah, it'll get your creative juices flowing. |
