Sooo…For the last week I was quietly losing my mind trying to find a video editor in Vietnam. The product design team at @zero.university , me and four absurdly talented humans, is shifting from designing the product to figuring out growth marketing. Meta ads, Foreplay, competitor UGC, every rabbit hole the internet has on the topic. And in the middle of all of it, I kept thinking, Damn it! we need a real editor. Where am I going to find one of those in Hoi An, urgently. Turns out four out of four people on the team can already edit. At a level I had no idea about. �@__fluffyycloud learnt to make movies at NID before he learnt design. Cut, colour, art direction, all of it. �@rasheemhamsa__ has been doing motion graphics for fifteen years, starting as a kid on real film sets.�@sabaresh.blend ’s superpower is figuring out anything beyond 3D, and he just goes and does it. �@sanjay.b.chauhan is, annoyingly, just good at everything.� The gap I’d convinced myself existed didn’t exist. The team I’d been working with for months had this whole other skill stack I never knew. Then a viral pigeon video showed up on Twitter. And I thought, why do we keep making sad ass performance ads? Why can’t we just make fun ones, find things we actually find hilarious, and bend them toward what we want to say about Zero? What’s up there is the first attempt. Akshay and Rashi pulled it off in two days. It’s funnier than anything I would have written sober. A small thing you should know. Zero is opening for beta soon. My job for the next month is to get a specific number of you onto that list. Which means I’m going to be in your face. Daily. We have a lot more bangers lined up after this one, and this team is, in actual fact, insane. Save yourself the pain. Join the list now. Hats off, Akshay & Rashi. You two are absurd. •�•�• #BuildInPublic #FoundersJournal #IndianFounders #DesignFounder #AIAds indian founder design founder small team ai ad founder journey runway video startup beta first time founder

We’ve spent 50 years personalising every industry on earth. Except the one our kids spend the most time inside. I’ve been thinking about why education didn’t follow. It isn’t laziness. It isn’t regulation. It isn’t even bureaucracy. It’s a business model decision, against human evolution The moment colleges personalise, the asset that prints them money, becomes irrelevant. Gathered some thoughts on this while building @zero.university here • • • #SkillsOverDegrees #HigherEdCrisis #IndianEducation #FutureOfWork #CareerWithoutDegree

For 3 years, I had strong opinions about a country I’d never been to. Formed them from one Instagram reel I’d watched in a random moment, half-asleep, scrolling past. Now I’ve been here a month. I was wrong. But the part that’s been keeping me up at night isn’t what I was wrong about. It’s how easily I formed the opinion in the first place. And how many other opinions I might be carrying around the same way. About places. About people. About versions of myself I haven’t met yet. Wrote a small piece in Hoi An, Vietnam. Trying to understand it. Swipe through if you have a minute. There’s a question waiting at the end.

“student for life” is a loser’s mindset. i know. sit with it a second before you swipe past this one. this is for the indian 20 and 30 somethings i keep watching quietly waste the decade AI is about to rewrite. the ones on their third course/degree. the ones calling it “growth.” the ones still waiting for a teacher to tell them they’re ready. every week you spend inside a classroom is a week you’re not figuring anything out on your own. and “figuring it out” is the only thing the indian education system never taught you, which happens to be the only thing the next ten years will actually pay for. save this for the day you almost enrol in one more course.

Last week, a copywriter rejected a role with @zero.university for it being AI native. They called it integrity. This interaction made me write this whole thing down. • • • #ai #copywriting #creativeindustry #design #creators aiforcreatives aicopywriting creativeleadership futureofcreative copywriters aiandcraft creativeaiworkflow humanplusai aicreativeeconomy integritycheck

12 years of school. 4 years of college. 6 rounds of interviews. and after all of that, the recruiter sitting across from you has no idea who you are. because nobody ever tracked your talent. not your ability to lead. not how you adapted. not how you evolved. just a gpa. just a number. 16 years of signal. never gathered. never stored. never used. this carousel breaks down every stage of the system that was supposed to build you, and why it failed at every single one. swipe through. and if this hits, send it to someone who needs to hear it. save this. come back to it. share it with someone still stuck in the system. .

This is the worst AI will ever be, the future is going to be mind-blowing. one AI-generated image → one 15-second prompt → no editing Seedream 5.0 + Seedance 2.0 the whole trick is describing what you want as “leaked raw film footage” instead of “epic cinematic.” the AI pulls from completely different training data and you get this instead of a video game cutscene. early access via @youart121 • • • #Seedance #AIVideo #AIFilmmaking #TextToVideo #GenerativeAI

It stings, doesn’t it? You have AI. You have the tools. You have more access than any generation before you. And you’re still “not ready.” This carousel is for the person Who keeps collecting courses instead of collecting wins. Who talks about building but never ships. Who confuses good taste with ambition. The gap between creators and spectators is becoming permanent. Which side are you on? Save this if it hit. Send it to someone who needs to hear it. • • • #builddonttalk #shipit #creatormindset #stoplearningstarddoing #aiage AI, artificial intelligence, creator, builder, ship, build, extraordinary, mediocre, ordinary, hustle, ambition, execution, courses, learning trap, spectator, action, proof, comfort zone, excuses, creator economy, side project, solo founder, indie maker
