The AI Second Brain

I'll be honest: AI is ridiculously hyped and ridiculously useful AT THE SAME TIME.
Let me explain it with a story today.

🌟 The AI Second Brain Mission: Make you smarter, better, faster. Practical AI, business, and psychology tips to get you in the 1% elite in 2025. 🌟
Yesterday I sat down with a 10x cracked developer friend and we rebuilt my no code website that was "dogshit" according to him.*
FULL CODE. It loads instantly, looks MUCH better.
All done with AI btw, with Cursor!
BUT:
No AI is currently truly agentic/agent/independent/AGI and all the BS they are feeding you. It's just not.
Why should you trust my opinion? Because I use it daily and spend around $800/mo on AI tools and ALL the LLMs on the market, including the $200 ChatGPT plan. I also build automations for companies.
BUT downplaying how useful AI is in the modern knowledge economy is idiotic behavior and you will pay for it. Dozens of thousands of people were already fired. Ask yourself why. They are just useless for the new economy.
Because there are people out there that are 30 times faster than you, with their AI copilots and automations. I'm just 5 times faster than the average person.
So is AI overhyped? YES, people who don't even use it talk wild nonsense and post useless predictions every 4 minutes.
Is AI useful? ALSO YES, it pains me when I see people do things like it's 2014. They are NOT going to make it.
Let me know your thoughts. Overhyped or productivity ultrahack?
