What’s wrong with AI content?
AI is making video production faster and cheaper-but it’s also blurring the line between what’s real, generated, and presented as fact. Human-led storytelling still matters.
Can we still trust what we see?
My last podcast guest is @EricDanielHorn - founder of CultureRoot, which tells human-first stories about fascinating subcultures - from regenerative agriculture to street art and location-independent entrepreneurs.
So I had to share my tomato farm experience in Iceland 😁
Can AI make us better storytellers - or just help us create more content, faster?
That’s just one of the stories that came up in my latest conversation:
Can Authentic Content Survive the AI Era?
I sat down with @EricDanielHorn , CEO/founder of CultureRoot.tv
We talked about how Eric finds ideas, why he chose YouTube over Netflix, and where AI belongs in telling real human stories.

How can scientists become entrepreneurs? AI is creating more opportunities than ever to turn research into real-world impact.
Busylike founder @vadiefe joined the Company Creation Showcase at @nyulangone for a thoughtful conversation about turning scientific research into successful ventures.
Drawing on his entrepreneurial journey and experience supporting technology startups, Vadi shared practical perspectives on storytelling, commercial thinking, and building ideas that create real-world impact.
Thank you to PRIMED for bringing together this inspiring community of researchers, founders, and industry leaders.
The real story is this: a new screen format just entered hundreds of millions of pockets, and most brands' video content isn't built for it.
What's actually happening, and what it means for your brand marketing: busylike.com/post/the-iphone…
This Thursday I'll join a panel at NYU Langone Health for PRIMED NEW YORK's event on entrepreneurship and science.
The event brings together founders, investors, industry leaders, and early-career researchers to discuss how groundbreaking research can become real-world impact.
If you’re a PhD, postdoc, researcher, founder, or simply interested in turning ambitious ideas into meaningful ventures, we’ll be happy to see you there.

We also explored @busylikeNYC approach to culture-focused branded content-and why authentic cultural storytelling matters more than ever.
A thoughtful and energizing conversation is coming soon. Stay tuned.

For years, the advice was to move to San Francisco if you wanted a career in tech. That advice is now wrong. New York has become the most exciting place in the world to build.
A few reasons why:
1. The AI labs are here. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and hundreds of others all run meaningful operations in NYC. You can now build a serious frontier-tech career here without giving up anything.
2. Every major industry lives here, and so does its AI counterpart. New York doesn't only have "tech," but finance, media, advertising, fashion, healthcare, real estate, law, and commerce too, with their applied-AI layer counterparts being built on top of each one.
3. The talent pool is unlike anywhere else. SF gives you engineers. New York gives you engineers, plus world-class designers, salespeople, bankers, marketers, operators, creatives, and media people, all at the top of their fields. Companies will need all of them.
4. People actually want to live here. New York is unlike any other city with its density of restaurants, art, nightlife, fashion, and media - and the people working across these sectors.
If you're building something and you're more than just tech, I'd argue there's only one city for you right now.

Public web crawlers only see generic data. Deep knowledge is locked behind private networks, making proprietary data the ultimate AI brand moat.

What AI cannot replace? Listen from me & my denim jacket
AI can copy text loops, but it can never replicate real human emotion and creative taste. Lived experience remains our ultimate moat.

ChatGPT ads early results are improving. My comments at the GEO Blueprint podcast euth @georgevlasyev
Native ads inside AI chat interfaces won't survive if brands treat them like billboards. Future ads must deliver active, precise utility to convert users

With AI, foresee what will happen before you publish by analyzing what the ecosystem has already crawled—giving you a literal crystal ball. 🔮
