Big AI companies suck. I'm tired of them lecturing me on my life and telling me to drive for Uber. So I'm going to prove I can use less than $100 of compute to teach anyone to be an entrepreneur. But I need 1 person to prove it on.
Update 2025-10-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Success criterion: The AI assistance must enable a person to earn over $100, which will count as being “turned into an entrepreneur.”
Compute measurement: Compute will be tracked by LLM token usage; the total token-based compute spend must be under $100.
Update 2025-10-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - The creator will use nanochat (Karpathy's repo) as the compute-limited platform
The system will integrate the creator's Conscious Economics paper and MetaSPN rulebook into training
The creator is waiting for at least one $100 sale of the service before proceeding with training and testing

@ouroboros that's a great question. I'm actually working on testing it tonight, but basically I'm tracking how few tokens I can use in an AI model to help someone make over $100. I'm testing a new economic model based around consciousness instead of intelligence because I'm pissed at how bad the big labs are and how much they charge. Here's my first attempt: https://x.com/leo_guinan/status/1974008299008737454
@LeoGuinanEqPl @ouroboros Ok, I actually figured out how to do it provably. Karpathy released a repo called nanochat that is the best ChatGPT $100 can buy. So I'm integrating my Conscious Economics paper and MetaSPN rulebook into the training and offering that. But I am still looking for someone to spend $100 to make sure I can sell this before I spend the time and money training it. I've wasted a lot of time and money on ideas that didn't pay off haha.

And here's the sales page: https://leo-guinan.github.io/cofounderchat/#
Once I get the first sale, I'll work on the training and then we can see if I can actually do it!
