THIS is why AI is the greatest opportunity in the history of our species right now

It's the most powerful technology ever created, yet about .01% of Earth is using it right

In a decade 75% of this chart will be red. Until then you have the greatest arbitrage opportunity to use this tech to build INCREDIBLE value generation

Everyone using Codex and Hermes to build and automate their lives have an OBSCENE advantage right now

If you're not, I'd take these steps immediately:

  1. Install Hermes
  2. Brain dump everything about your life and career
  3. Ask it what tasks it can automate
  4. Ask it what businesses you can build
  5. Download Claude Code or Codex depending on what subs you have
  6. Take the plan from Hermes and put it into your builder of choice
  7. Build the business
  8. Talk about it on social media

Do these steps and you're literally in the top .01%
