Create a Cash Flowing Newsletter w/ the Help of AI

Stop🤚, I know what you’re thinking

• newsletters are for old people

• nobody reads newsletters

• newsletters are a waste of time

You’re wrong, here’s why

1. everyone has an email

2. direct access to your audience

3. great way to build a brand

4. connect with your audience

5. no one can cancel your newsletter

6. an amazing sales tool

Milk Road, a daily crypto newsletter, went from 0-150,000 subscribers in 6 months and amassed $1 million in annual reoccurring revenue

There is money in having an engaging newsletter

I understand most of you are probably not writers

If you haven’t already noticed, neither am I

But you will learn, you’ll get better, and in todays world you can use AI to help you

I use Beehiiv to help manage and write my newsletter

Beehiiv is a new newsletter management platform that understands simplicity

They make everything incredibly easy and straightforward, and they have a free plan for you to use if you want to try it out

There’s also ConvertKit, I haven’t used it myself but I’ve heard good things

MailChimp gives me a headache

1) Claude is basically my personally writing assistant

• Accepts prompts up to 70K words (vs ChatGPT's ~500)

• Can ingest multiple docs as prompts

• Great at making results sound human

• far longer prompts & multi-doc prompting

2) Beehiiv AI has integrated AI into their platform which includes..

• AI writing assistance

• AI text tools

• AI image generation right from platform

• AI translator

📝 3 Articles You Should Know About

📉 Is ChatGPT Getting Worse?

Summary: Recent experiments reveal inconsistencies in GPT-4's problem-solving abilities, sparking debate on the AI behind ChatGPT.

Key Points:

• GPT-4 shows fluctuating performance when solving math problems.

• Researchers find its behavior varies significantly over time.

• Possible reasons include training data changes, model updates, algorithm tweaks, catastrophic forgetting.

• OpenAI addressing concerns via transparency, improvements, user feedback.

Our take: I’ve noticed ChatGPT worsening myself and I’ve also been hearing this from other people. I’ve noticed from doing large AI automations that over time ChatGPT gets inconsistent and makes silly mistakes.

👁️‍🗨️ Salesforce CEO says nobody wants a Hiroshima moment to understand dangers of AI, guidelines for tech needed

Summary: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff discussed the potential dangers of AI like ChatGPT during an interview, warning of a "Hiroshima moment" if it is misused.

Key Points:

• Benioff says responsible use of AI requires collaboration between companies, governments, NGOs, etc.

• Benioff said AI is entering a new phase with multimodal agents that integrate text, speech and video. As they become more capable, they may take actions without human knowledge.

• This change will bring benefits like augmenting human abilities, but also risks as the technology advances rapidly.

• Benioff said no one is fully prepared for this transformation

Our take: This is concerning with how rapidly AI is advancing and its potential impact on safety and security. I feel like it’s going to be very hard to regulate AI as there will always be ways to bypass safe guards

✖️ Elon Musk Has Rebranded Twitter to 'X'

Summary: Elon Musk recently rebranded Twitter to "X" and launched a new AI startup called xAI, adding to his growing list of companies.

Key Points:

• Musk renamed Twitter to "X", replacing the blue bird logo with an "X".

• His new company xAI aims to create AI that can "understand the true nature of the universe".

• He is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $254 billion.

• His 13% Tesla stake is worth $108 billion. Tesla had $81 billion revenue in 2022.

• He owns 79% of Twitter, now valued around $20 billion.

Our take: This is an extremely bold move from Elon and some may call it plain stupid. Brands would kill for their brand name to become a commonly used verb just as Tweet or Google. Elon has successfully destroyed that brand presence by rebranding to X. I think Elon wants to instead create his own platform rather than running where Twitter left off. It’s either that or Elon is doing his usual troll gag for attention and all this will be reverted back in a couple months
