Chris Koerner (0:00)

So you may have been wondering, what happened to Nick? What happened to HoldCodeBros? What happened to your best friend, Chris? Well, I'll tell you what happened. He took the last four months off podcasting of making content. He went underground, and he has been deep in the AI world, making agents, playing with OpenClaw and Claude. And we just reconnected for the first time in months. So he could tell me everything he's learned and how we can make money off of everything he's learned. So if you're interested in AI agents, OpenClaw, Claude, all the latest and greatest in AI explained in a simple user-friendly way and how you can monetize it, this is the episode for you. Welcome back, Nick. I want you to prove this tweet wrong. That's the purpose of this episode, okay? Really?

Nik Hulewsky (0:39)

I'm in.

Chris Koerner (0:40)

Yeah. I'm going to read this out loud. Are you ready?

Nik Hulewsky (0:42)

100%.

Chris Koerner (0:43)

Dude, I have 10 agents running while I sleep. No one is prepared for AGI in two years, man. So what are you building? Bro, all my smartest friends are vibe coding until 3 a.m. every night. It's all about agency. Intelligence is a commodity, man. So what are you building? Do you even study exponentials? Have you seen the latest METR chart? You're going to be stuck in permanent underclass, bro. So what are you building? Did you even set up OpenClaw? I'm maxing out my token budget every day, man. So what are you building? I promise you, I'm 10x more productive, bro. You just don't understand. Please, bro. Just I know you use this stuff every day, too, but you must not be prompting. All right, please, bro. 1.3 million views. Dude, prove me wrong.

That's mine.

Nik Hulewsky (1:28)

All right, scroll down there. Click on that one.

Chris Koerner (1:31)

Okay.

Nik Hulewsky (1:32)

Dude, so I can keep the lights on and I just like read all night. It's insane, bro. So what are you even building, though? Bro, you don't understand. My smartest friends are running copper wire through the walls and could ring a bell on the other side. Yeah, but what are you even building? Didn't you see they strung lights like actual lights on a Christmas tree at the Edison office? They just frickin decorations, bro. But what are you building? Dude, they're projecting pictures onto a wall and people are paying money to watch that. Like this technology runs everything. Everything. That was my response to this frickin dude's tweet.

Chris Koerner (2:03)

I didn't know you responded to this. I'm completely surprised. I never saw this tweet. This is amazing. Okay.

Nik Hulewsky (2:09)

Yeah, because it's like, it's like, okay, yeah, 99% of the things that people are messing around with don't have a use case and they won't have a use case. But how are people supposed to build the skill?

Chris Koerner (2:18)

Mohamed, edit out Nick reading that tweet because it makes me look bad. Sorry, keep going.

Nik Hulewsky (2:24)

No, dude, but you know what I mean? Like the original tweet has a point. What are you building? What have you built? Right? Because who's that guy, Alex Finn? I think he was like every single day coming on Twitter. He's like, bro, this freaking changed my life. Like, what has he really built? I don't even know what he's actually built. But the flip side is this technology is changing so quickly. People are learning it so quickly. By the time you actually start seeing results, it's game over, bro. I think it's a really silly thing to say like, what have you even built? First of all, we don't know like how quick the turnaround time is gonna be on this technology. It's new and it looks like it's gonna be faster than anything we've ever seen in our lifetime. But like legitimately, we're talking about the last few months that people have been working on stuff. It's so soon in the cycle to be pulling out the, what are you even building? What are you even done with that? We don't know. We don't know what it's gonna look like yet. And the reason I pulled up the analogy of electricity and Thomas Edison is because there was a big lag. Like it was a novelty for a long period of time. Like what are you gonna do with electricity? Oh, you can lock your house. Are you gonna read books after hours? You know what I mean? Like people just didn't get it until all of a sudden people got used to the new technology and creative people were like, huh, I could use this for, you know, whatever it is. And pretty soon we've got our modern technology. So I just think it's a pretty dumb way to approach it. What do you think?
