🦾 The Race to Zero
And what it means for you
🧠 Be irreplaceable: Build The AI Mind and Personal Moat. Limited: Get 50% off for 1 year
Fellow Human,
Look at the headlines.
Microsoft just declared war on every frontier lab at once. Ramp shipped an AI that runs an entire accounting firm. Devin moved onto your desktop.
The cost of doing the work is racing to zero.
When anyone can produce anything, the only thing that stays scarce is you. Your name. Your taste. Your reps.
Stop waiting for the perfect plan. Build your moat today.

The Research Compressor
Paste in a pile of articles, transcripts, notes, and open tabs
Pulls only the facts and quotes that actually move the argument
Keeps the source on every fact and number, nothing invented
Cuts the restating, background, and noise
Hands you a one-page brief plus a ready-to-paste summary in your voice
The build kit
Feed it a stack of articles, transcripts, or open tabs, and it hands back only the facts and quotes that actually matter, sourced and ready to use.

A research tool nobody talks about just hit a $7.5B valuation
🎯 The Skill — Voice extraction
Skill of the week: voice extraction.
AI sounds like AI because you never taught it to you.
Feed it five things you’ve actually written, ask it to pull your voice into a reusable style guide, then paste that guide into every prompt from now on.
That one move is the difference between AI slop and writing people swear you wrote yourself.
📈 The Money
June 5th: the markets got smoked.
The Nasdaq dropped 4%, its worst day since April 2025, after a hot jobs report (172k jobs vs 80k expected) revived Fed rate-hike fears.
A weak Broadcom AI-chip outlook dragged the whole semiconductor trade down with it. NVIDIA fell 6%.
What it means for you: a buying opportunity if you think a company is going to be here and do well over the next 1-2 years.
Just have a longer holding period than everyone else.
The hype cycle is noise, and noise you can use to your advantage. The adoption curve still points straight up.
