How we help content creators make money
Published on July 3, 2025 · Duration 00:37:53
Get ready for an episode that’s as jam-packed as Meta’s AI research department! Your favorite co-hosts, Giorgio Azzinnaro and Iván Peña of Sealambda, are back with another wild ride through the worlds of content creation, groundbreaking (and sometimes bonkers) AI news, and their own hilariously relatable podcasting struggles. Seriously, if you’ve ever shouted into the void of social media, this one’s for you.
From Zero to Hero (or at least, pretty good for newbies)
In this episode, Giorgio and Iván spill the beans on their venture into helping content creators actually make money – a feat they admit they’re still mastering for themselves! They’re launching new tools like “Insta Replies” to tame your DMs and “Webinar with an R” (because “AR” was taken, obviously) to automate your online events. Plus, keep an eye out for Ekopilot, which is set to go open source soon.
But it’s not all sunshine and successful product launches. The guys get candid about their social media adventures, including Iván’s ongoing 30-day consistency challenge on X (spoiler: he’s feeling like he’s “shouting in the void”). And speaking of social media woes, hear about Iván’s bewildering Reddit suspension after simply asking about podcast conversion rates – apparently, their “pretty good” numbers were just too good for some!
AI News: Meta’s Shopping Spree, Elon’s Grand Redesign, and Google’s Genetic Breakthrough!
Hold onto your neural networks, because the AI segment is a rollercoaster! Meta is on an absolute poaching frenzy, luring top AI researchers from OpenAI with what Sam Altman claims are mind-boggling bonuses (Meta, however, begs to differ on the 100 million dollar figure). We’re talking about so many hires, it’s a wonder there’s anyone left at OpenAI who doesn’t have a Meta job offer!
Then there’s Elon Musk, who, according to Iván, believes “the whole humanity is wrong” and wants to “rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge” with Grok 4. What could possibly go wrong when the richest man in the world decides to re-architect the internet based on his own opinions? The guys debate the terrifying implications of AI-generated content flooding the web, creating a “random data” loop. They also get a good laugh out of Elon’s patriotic release of Grok 4 on the 4th of July, especially with rumors of him potentially being deported.
On the slightly less chaotic side of AI, Google has released AlphaGenome, using AI to better understand the human genome. Iván even shares his favorite AI algorithm, the Genetic Algorithm, and how it mirrors natural selection – pretty cool stuff!
And get this: Anthropic has released Claude Artifacts, letting you build web apps with prompts. Iván, ever the innovator, already whipped up a “Whack-A-Mole” game where you can upload a custom picture of whoever you want to whack! We’re not saying who he whacks, but we’re also not not saying you should try it. Black Forest Labs also dropped their Flux.1 Kontext model, praised for its “unbelievable” editing capabilities, and guess what? You can use the dev version for commercial projects via Replicate.
Your Feedback is Our Fuel (Seriously, Send Us Emails!)
Giorgio and Iván are all about building this podcast together with you. They openly admit they’re great at grabbing attention but “not that good keeping that attention.” If you’re a new listener and something isn’t quite resonating, or even if you just want to tell them how funny they are, they beg you to drop a comment or shoot them an email at [email protected]. Your feedback is gold, especially since they’ve already received some encouraging words about their comedic timing!
Tune in to this episode of Bootstrapped for Cash to hear all the hilarious details, the unfiltered opinions, and maybe even learn a thing or two about building products, battling social media algorithms, and the ever-evolving world of AI! You won’t want to miss it.
