We are witnessing social media moving at an unbelievable pace. You wake up everyday learning about new trends. With all the hype around meta not being able to match the expectations, to Elon Musk doing some peculiar activities with Twitter. Are we about to jump into the new dimension of social media? If yes, then what are your thoughts?
Well hello there! I'm Arvid Kahl, I'm a coder, an entrepreneur, and a writer. Over the last few years, I've been sharing my entrepreneurial journey through building in public and writing. I co-founded a SaaS business with my life partner Danielle Simpson back in 2017. We sold it for a life-changing amount of money just two years later as it had reached $55k MRR. Ever since then, I have been spending my days empowering other founders to find their own way to financial independence. My latest book The Embedded Entrepreneur is a guide to building a business the right way around: by focusing on your future audience from day one. I've been mentoring and teaching founders the audience-centric way to great success. I write, I read, I speak, I nap a lot, and I love engaging with founders. And now I'd like to talk to you! AMA
Many brands have their long-standing mascots (McDonald's, Mr Clean, Michelin), etc. But with the development of AI, physical forms are moving online, and AI avatars look promising in this.
On one hand, it feels less human (authentic), on the other hand, AI influencers are a "cheaper" solution.
Every day, I notice fewer people sharing their projects here.
A couple of months ago, build in public felt unstoppable: everyone was posting updates, numbers, roadmaps. Now? The hype seems to be fading or maybe makers are just shipping quietly.
I came across Deutsche Bank s latest report on AI, and it sparked an interesting thought experiment: how likely is it that we ll see AGI (AI that thinks and learns like a human) within the next five years?
The report highlights a fascinating divergence: the view from money vs. the view from science.
Money: the probability inferred from trillions poured into data centers, Nvidia chips, and servers. Investors seem to be betting that AGI is inevitable.
Science: the probability inferred from research papers and AI development models. Experts are far more cautious, suggesting the realistic probability is only 20%.
I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).
I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?
A similar question was asked on a subreddit. Interested to know what ProductHunters think here. What are your opinion regarding usage of AI in content marketing, image generators, strategy planning, or any other digital marketing areas? Do you think AI will be more powerful than human intervention or there will be a boundary?
