🎬 Our team is looking for girls who create UGC content.

3 spots left. The task: create UGC content similar to the video attached to this post. Around 100 clips per month, plus posting them to three social networks.

A portfolio on platforms like Behance, Figma, Kwork, FL or similar is a plus.

Base salary: $3K + bonuses (up to ~$2K). Reach out to the manager or write in the community chat.

If you want to be surrounded by strong, bright, talented people, you need to understand two things.

First, they will never be fully comfortable for you. Strong people have their own opinions, character, ambitions, and their own vision of how things should be done. If you need people who always agree and do exactly what they're told, chances are you won't have many truly strong people around you.

Second, you need to be able to trust them. You can build up a huge amount of control: KPIs, regulations — and still, it's impossible to fully control a person. When you work with smart, talented, and strong people, it's usually more beneficial to trust them.

But you shouldn't trust everyone. There are tons of people who will abuse that trust or simply try to screw you over. That's important to understand too.

Control scales poorly. Trust scales much better. And the stronger the people around you, the less sense and need there is to manage them.

In the partner service aimed at sellers (B2B segment), which their clients use to create AI Influencers: they made generations of similar trending AI videos completely free via this bot.

Honestly, why not? For them, tokens cost pennies (they buy them by the millions on Chinese marketplaces). The cost price of such a video is about 5₽, while popular platforms like Higgsfield sell similar generations for nearly $10 in HD. Now that's a high-margin business.

🍓 And continuing the AI content theme:
Elon Musk just won a federal court appeal: the feature allowing people to be undressed in Grok via photo editing. So in the future we'll witness the ultimate realization of the idea every man has been waiting for: full-fledged sex robots. Which in turn will free our society from the need for escort services and expand the relevant content.

Our family charitable foundation "Humanity Movement Foundation" is turning three.

Going forward, our charity plans to expand and operate in even more regions of our homeland, in order to help even more people.

And I'll share a little insight:
Presumably, the foundation will in the future be either restructured or renamed, since my family's goal is for our family charitable foundation to live on for many generations, outlasting both my father and me. So that, over many decades and centuries of its work, it can help as many kids as possible.

A very good autumn morning to you ☕️

While Bitcoin is breaking through the $84K mark, Anthropic is already gearing up for the most anticipated IPO of the year, with an expected valuation of two trillion dollars. Definitely a historic moment for the IT industry, considering the company's age is comparable to your average startup.

As they say: if your startup isn't planning on being worth trillions, don't invite me to invest as an angel 😂

Also, I've launched a little contest for you, it runs until Halloween. Enjoy!

5 years in prison. Another hapless entrepreneur ends up behind bars.

This time — Dima "Transformator" Portnyagin. He's probably the one I view most sympathetically out of all the bloggers who've been jailed in Russia. And it's not because he was a longtime client of my agency for many years, nor because for a couple of years we lived as neighbors in the "OKO" tower in Moscow City, where I crossed paths with him and Katya an endless number of times.

And since I have people with shoulder straps in my family, I usually don't speak positively about any individual who is under investigation or convicted. This case, naturally, won't be an exception.

But, on a human level, I feel sorry for Dima and Katya, because unlike hundreds of other bloggers, he didn't promote financial pyramid schemes, didn't promote casinos like streamers do, sure, maybe he sold courses (but the info-business is fine), tried to open clubs, restaurants, bathhouses (which is more than a normal, white-market, and quite respectable business). The phrase that fits here is probably: "Greed is the sucker's downfall."

That's just the kind of double-standard atmosphere we have in Russia. On one hand, the practically state-owned company VK invited stars like Pasha Tekhnik, who was literally walking drug propaganda incarnate, calmly invited streamers onto talk shows who had literally hooked hundreds of thousands of people on gambling addiction, receiving illegal money into their accounts without any sort of registered sole-proprietorship, and all of them live just fine, except maybe once a quarter they'll see a negative post about themselves from some public figures like Mizulina (but that's different: at MMA fights they advertise semi-legal bookmakers with online casinos, and everyone's cool with everything), while an entrepreneur who divided up his own business among his wife, mother, and a couple of friends, even after paying all the fines, penalties, and going through bankruptcy, still gets sent to prison. I'm not justifying anyone and I'm not accusing anyone, I just don't like it when the law is applied selectively.

And in my humble subjective opinion, financial-economic crimes, in principle, for the most part should not carry criminal punishment, provided there was no initial intent to defraud (as happens in those same financial pyramids or those same casinos). I also believe that prostitution should be legalized, as it was in Tsarist Russia. And the status "Escort" should get its corresponding OKVED classification code at the Federal Tax Service. The same goes for the decriminalization of soft drugs, because the number of people serving time in distant places under Article 228 is off the charts (and, as a rule, these aren't dealers but teenagers from troubled families).

Right before publishing this post, I deliberately looked up current statistics and scientific research online. And what I'm proposing has, on the whole, a positive effect on society, which is backed up by the facts.
