That AI business you're building? AGI might kill it before it launches.
I'm writing this because I care deeply about this community. I see the incredible energy and passion you're all pouring into your work and education, and I want to make sure we are all on the smartest path forward. To do that, we need to have a serious, honest conversation. Many of us are competing against each other, trying to build a better SaaS, brand, product or agency. But that's the wrong competition. The real competition is the bullet train coming down the track: first AGI, and then ASI. The old way of making money online, selling your knowledge or skill, is dying. AGI will make knowledge arbitrage worthless because it will provide better, personalized plans for free and be able to build entire businesses in hours that will crush the competition on price and dev cycles. This means many of the AI businesses people are starting today have a built-in expiration date and the key is to be aware of this! THE DANGER ZONE: BUSINESSES THAT WILL FAIL If your business is on this list, don't panic. It’s not a failure. It's a signal that we need a strategic plan to pivot. You need to cash out on what you can before AGI takes all the cash. These models are built on a foundation that is about to crumble: 1. SaaS "Wrappers" and Automations: An app that's just a nice design on top of a basic AI function (like a caption writer, image creator, video creator, etc.). AGI will absorb these functions, making them pretty much free features. 2. Generic Content & SEO Agencies: AGI will produce unlimited content, making this a race to the bottom. 3. Broad-Topic Coaching/Courses: AGI will be the ultimate free, personal tutor. This is the hard truth. But it's also where our real strategy begins. OUR PIVOT PLAN: THE TEMPORARY WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY We have a window of time between AGI becoming mainstream and ASI changing the world in ways we can't even comprehend. Our job is to use this window to build the resources we need now. The strategies below are not permanent solutions. ASI + Robots will eventually replace these too.
