The Business: The Tools To Make Old Media Irrelevant Are Here

Checking in on the state of AI content creation. Skyebrows dropped this a few weeks ago.

Naysayers are going to have problems with their objections.

This took 400 hours. Check his channel. This is what he is able to do now; it is not what he could do earlier this year. The models and his own acumen have advanced so much so soon that he--and other so capable with these tools--are going to surpass the average professional going without AI assistance or tools by the end of this year.

Couple this with the sort of tools we're seeing with AI-assisted writing and publishing and we are going to see not only one-man publishing operations, but one man IP farms within a few years. The combination of Agentic AI, workflow automation, cross-platform operation, and integration with known tools or services like Stripe and Canva are going to make it possible to do all of the following entirely in-house.

• Develop your own stories at speed and adjust them on a dime and bring them to market in manuscript form entirely on your own.
• Produce prose, comic, audio, and visual adapations of your own material entirely in-house in multiple languages without needing outside talent.
• Design and publish your own merch entirely in-house without needing to hire outside talent or maintain overhead.
• Establish, administer, and update your own online storefronts by yourself without any expert coding.
• Do all your own Public Relations without needing to hire an expert.
• Do all of this without working 80+ per week, but closer to 20 and thus be able to maintain a healthy home and civic life- you'll be able to raise your kids and be involved in local affairs so Commies can't bend you over without you knowing.

I said that your new skillset is Project Management, not grunt work, going forward. Seeing how the tools are working, and developing fast, towards that reality will force you (and everyone else) to contend with the oncoming reality of a changed economy where no you don't have to put up with Jeets and Girlbosses and systematic discrimination in the job market and all that horseshit.

As the tools get better, and the friction involved in learning and mastering them decreases, the reason to bother with the declining institutions fades away.

It was a good time to go indie a decade ago. It's becoming a great time now, if you can afford the tools and be bothered to master them.
