Do you even AI?

How do you do in a situation where you encounter a hot girl!??! I'm not talking about going up to a hot girl stranger at starbucks and starting to talk to her. That's somewhat psychotic to do. I'm talking about if it actually occurs organically. Like maybe you're at the the supermarket and the cashier just so happens to be super hot. Ok ok, not the most realistic example, we live in a world where super hot girls tend NOT to be cashiers. But just go with me. You have a lot of groceries, a multi-minute interaction with her is upon you. Are you cool? Are you calm? Are you weird in that spot? Buckle up!

So let's do this: First we'll go through your side of the initial encounter. And then we'll run it back with you putting yourself in her shoes. Literally do that, because I'm starting a new website called "Dudez in Heelz" and i need creators! Ok no, not literally. 

LEt's start: Imagine what you're most likely thinking in those initial 3-5 seconds of realizing how pretty this girl is. Something in your head says, "Hooooo Leeee SHIEIEIET" as in, Kay's neighbor Ho Lee Shiet sounds like a nice man. Not quite that. But more like, "uhhhhhhhh oooooohhuhhh my gooooooRRRRRRRdddddd!! why? why is this?? This is WHY? What who where? When marry??!" Ya, something like that. So that happens for a few seconds, and then you most likely walk it back a bit with the epiphany, "oh shit, I'm short circuiting, visibly." You cough it off, gotta play it cool. Ok you coughed a lot, so now she won't think you were acting weird because of her beauty; she'll see it was obviously just an impending cough. Ok now she says something to you!! it's that time. "Credit, Debit, or Cash, sir?" And you of course respond like a bad-ass, think: Ryan Reynolds witty/funny mixed with Henry Cavil's rugged/manliness thing..only times a million!! You confidently say, "ALL OF THE ABOVE ma'am!" And then with a puzzeled smirk, she says, "ok but no you actually have to pick one of the three." Uh oh. You're in trouble. And you already used your cough lifeline, you're not getting out of this one without a few scars, are you? Think quickly!!! Ok here goes: "Someone asked me if you were beautiful, pretty, or cute.... and i told them "ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!" Woahhh!! You pulled that one out of nowhere!!! Amazing!!! You're good under pessure!!! Let's see how she responds: "SECURITY!!!! IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. !!!!!" Alright... you got banned from the store. But the good news is, it's only a 1 year ban! You'll get another shot a this a year from now! 

And now let's examine this situation from the camera that was pointing at her. After she gives a lady a receipit, she sees you are the next person up. LEt's get in her head and she what she's saying!!!!! ..................................... That was it?? ok, well she didn't say anything. She wasn't actually thinking anything about you at all. Because she checks out a few hundred people per day. Alright let's fast forward to the part in the video where you started short cicuiting and let's get into her brain again and see what she was saying. "Ohhh, oh dear, not again!" Ok well we figured that, didn't we. But unlike most guys, you had the cough save! Let's see if it worked: "Oh nooooo, not the cough save move. Poor guy used his cough lifeline already." Oh ok, well i guess the cough move is out there now, damn influencers sharing all the strategies! Alright well we know it didn't go well when you said "All of the above," but let's just rip the bandaid off. What did she say for that? "lol, ok that was funny. but has he forgotten that he has to pay for the food he's buying? Can't i just get a few guys on this line who don't act like this!!!!" 

OR something like that. Were you expecting me to give you tips on how to get the girl? She's a hot girl who deals with the public constantly. NEarly every man gets weird with her in nearly every interaction. The only unique interactions she has are the ones where a guy just treats her like any other cashier. Those to her are meaningful. And you don't have to end up with the girl. Let me say that again for the people in the back: YOU DON'T HAVE TO END UP WIHT THE GIRL. The best version of your life probably doesn't include some hot girl who is going to have twisted expectations of a man thanks to every exeprience she's ever had telling her, "all men do what you want them to do." Just be cool. If you want to appreciate her beauty, do so without being weird, and you certainly don't need to tell her she's pretty. She hears it enough. Again, this isn't about getting the girl, this is like, "for the betterment of society type stuff." We don't always have to get something out of things. We don't have to win something all the time. 

And that's today's post! ......................... ohhh really? You just can't let it go can you? YOu're just unable to treat this experience with a hot girl as you would with anyone else. OHHH, i'm just tired now. IF you must.... the guy who shops there weekly, is normal with her every time he checks out. Smiles and says hi, please, and thank you just as he would to every other cashier...is probably the one who winds up getting this girl a couple of months later. Because by then she's thinking, "If this guy is into women, he is the most disciplined "not going to let myself short circuit a single moment" MFer i have ever seen!! "This guy never even had to use the cough move!!!! HOW? WHO WHY? WHEN MARRY?!?!?!" Kind of!

I am really trying to be THAT PRESENCE in your life who gets you to understand that everything is going to be very different very soon, with AI doing most of the work and jobs.  This is happening FAST, and you have to make moves accordingly.  Today I want to talk about investing in AI.  Because that’s one theme I’ve heard from guys from who are keen to capitalize on things.. I say “AI is NOW, AI is EVERYTHING”  And they say, “OK how do I get rich off of it?”  Little bit of good news/bad news with that.  But just understand that we are going to soon be in a society of have’s and have nots, because the concept of “work” will not resemble what it does now in any way.  Make sure you have “stuff.” 

The Bad News:  This isn’t some startup company like microsoft or amazon a gazillion years ago, giving you the opportunity to 1,000X your money.  We live in a society of later stage capitalism than that. Essentially, the very biggest companies in the world ALREADY own every aspect of AI.  They’ve been 10 moves ahead of eveyrone.  They are the top companies in the world for a reason, and they played the AI chess board like…well like the AI bots who easily beat the best players in the world, lol. 

The Good News:  You can still invest in those companies and you probably should, and while maybe not overly exciting, you’re going to be hard pressed to beat the strategy. 

Ok so I will give you the biggest companies in the world by market cap and then we’ll analyze their AI position: 

·  Apple Inc. (AAPL) – $3.63 trillion. Apple has been integrating AI into its products, enhancing user experiences with features like Siri and advanced camera functionalities. Its control over hardware and software ecosystems positions it well for on-device AI applications.​Of these 6 companies, it might actually be the weakest on AI positioning. However, they make the best devices for people to access AI on, and they’re sitting on enough cash and a big enoguh book of business to buy their way into more prominent AI positions as time goes on.  They have aquired more AI companies in recent years than anyone else, they just haven’t hit big with it yet, but they likely will. And even if they don’t, they make the best devices and have the best people. They’ll be ok, lol. 

·  Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) – $3.09 trillion. Microsoft has invested significantly in AI, notably through its partnership with OpenAI (Chat GPT), integrating advanced AI models into its Azure cloud platform and productivity tools, thereby expanding AI accessibility to businesses and consumers.​No Cloud, No AI.  MSFT has Cloud + a chunk of Chat GPT + lots of little AI goodies.  They’re always going to win. 

·  Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) –$2.94 trillion. Nvidia is central to AI development, providing high-performance GPUs essential for AI computations. Its hardware is foundational for training and deploying complex AI models across industries.​Let’s be clear, no Nvidia means no AI.   

·  Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) – $2.52 trillion.  Google owns a bunch of stuff like Gemini, lots of cloud space, and DeepMind, which is a leader in AI research and application. Its AI innovations enhance search algorithms, language processing, and autonomous systems, reinfoorcing its dominance in the tech industry.​They have slowly but surely made Gemini handle most google searches, and people quietly rely on that now. They always win. 

· Amazon – $2.50 trillion. Amazon employs AI extensively in its e-commerce operations, from personalized recommendations to supply chain optimization. Its AWS platform (Cloud Space) offers AI and machine learning services, supporting a broad range of applications for clients worldwide. They’ll lead in AI e-commerce and cloudpsace.   They always win. 

·  Tesla Inc. (TSLA) – $1.30 trillion. Tesla leverages AI for autonomous driving technologies, utilizing vast amounts of driving data to train its neural networks. Its focus on real-world AI applications positions it uniquely in the automotive industry but potentially as a leader in robotics software as well.  Their “vision” software has such a lead on anything else in the space, and will likely be the link to practical Robotics/AI.   Theyr’e so far ahead with autonomous driving and vision for robotics, that there’s really no way for companies not to lease their software in the future. 

BONUS ROUND -  Palantir Technologies (PLTR) -  216 billion (48th biggest in the world.)  Palantir  specializes in data analytics and AI-driven solutions, primarily serving government agencies and large enterprises. I don’t want to get too into what they’re up to, it’s kind of… yaaaa.  Let’s say this, Palantir is going to be the bridge between governmetns and AI tech.  This a Peter Thiel company, and it absolutely cannot lose, even if it’s been a meem stock in the past. 

I CHEATED ROUND - Technically FB has a slightly higher market cap than Tesla, but only after Tesla’s stock got crushed lately because of weird stuff that has no impact on their future relationship with AI/Robotics/Value electric cars.  I left FB off the list because they just haven’t done a good job of positioning themselves for the AI World compared to these other companies. So ya techinically this was 6 of the top 7 companies by market cap in the world. Who just coincidentally have all the AI stuff wrapped up already!   

And???   So I think the best advice you could have ever gotten or given over the last…oh 100 years or so was, “just invest in the S+P 500.”  That’s the best 500 companies in the world, it’s weighted and it updates. Nobody can really beat it long term.  And I think it’ll continue to do really well, afterall, the top 6 companies here represent 29% of it because of their weight.  But if AI is everything SOON, (whisper voice:  IT IS), expect the top 6 companies, which always win anyway, to outperform the S+P collectively - short, medium, and long term. 

What is going on????    Ya I know, not really what you’d expect here.  But when multiple guys ask me the same question and it’s a great question, I research until I drop.  I also have been doing this long enough to have a couple of good connections within high finance worlds, where I can at least run pieces by them for the mature/experienced take to top off my researched take.  And well, this is kind of unmistakable at this point.  The biggest companies in the world are able to buy all competition. They are monsters but they are trying to be MEGA-MONSTERS, and they will be.  I’m not telling you to do anything stupid.  I’m saying, the biggest companies in the world, news flash, didn’t get there by accident, and are well positioned within the AI explosion that we are in the very beginning stages of. I wish I had a lot of money to park in them. I don’t. Oh well.

I've been telling some girls i know that if they want to commit to being with a man, if that man has a good financial situation, they really need to imagine what the relationship would like if that financial situation deteriorated. So in other words, if a girl finds a guy who has good money, i want her to think about what it would be like if he didn't. And so far, when i tell girls to do that, they struggle with it. They're like "but he does have money, why would he not have money." And i can't tell them that I've talked so many guys over the 5+ years I've been doing this, but i tell them that I'm pretty sure "having good money" doesn't' always last. And that if they wouldn't want to stick around or support or significantly help if their guy lost his good situation, that 1) this isn't the guy for them and 2) they really need to do some soul searching when it comes relationship priorities.Some guys get their finances going from a relatively youngg age, and just make all the right moves, avoid all the traps, and they just have good money always. And some guys have families that would just never let them struggle. For the remaining 97% of men, some bad times are inevitable. Not every decision is the right one. And some of it is just luck. I knew some guys who had never had a speed bump with their finances until Covid happened, because they never prepared for something like that. Who would? There are so many traps: divorce, getting into some bad lawsuit thing, business trends changing, company you work for gets bought and they clean house, etc. etc. What I'm saying is that: for almost all guys, there will be at least a few times in their life when they have to "pick the pieces up and figure shit out!" And I'm telling you that a lot of these girls do not seem to be OK with the concept of "what if your guy loses it all."And bringing this home now, I think girls need to be with a guy who they would do anything to help if shit got rough. And I think guys need to make sure that they are with that type of girl too! Don't just take it for granted that you're with a girl who would do the right things if things got tough. Ask her, test her, and be sure. Because the last thing a guy needs is to lose his job or get stuck in a bad lawsuit, or lose his business...and then for his wife to just make things 10X worse by leaving the scene and taking whatever she can on the way out. You can handle having to start all over if you have a supportive woman. But you add in a messy divorce at the same time, and that'll take anybody down. That's a bad decade rather than a bad 6-12 months.
