Joe Rogan just sat down with the world's top AI safety researcher and professor:

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy

What he revealed about artificial intelligence will change how you think about our future…

Here are 8 insights that every person should understand about AI: Image 1. We're in Uncharted Territory (And Moving Fast)

• Then GPT launched and suddenly everyone thinks it's 2-3 years away
• We went from impossible to inevitable in months

The speed of change is unprecedented in human history.

The #s behind my vending machine business:

• 102 machines
• $100k/month revenue
• $65,000/month in profit

& I started 5 years ago with 0 experience.

Here's the exact system I used: Image Step 1: Find the right locations.

• Manufacturing plants
• Medical office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Employee break rooms

Instead, I placed a Micromarket in an apartment building.

It made $17,000 in the first 30 days.

Here’s the step-by-step blueprint I used to do it: Image 1. Why I Passed on Real Estate

In 2018, I wanted to buy a rental property in Miami.

I had $15,000 ready for a down payment, but the numbers didn’t add up:
