1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,760 After yet another year of unforgivable controversies, 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,560 becoming a reddit mod, buying a content house, 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,080 getting braces, it's clear that we need another major change here. 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,680 In spite of being so obviously problematic, 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:22,520 I owe it to what little remains of our original world-class team to try to grow this company 6 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,000 and create new opportunities for them. 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,760 That's why when financial optimization and market operations foundry 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,360 approached us about an acquisition with a deal that was sweet as honey, 9 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,480 not to mention some great new ideas for helping to maintain our financial solvency, 10 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:45,240 I just couldn't sign the deal fast enough. In the short couple of months since they took over, 11 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,360 we have synergized our efficiencies with the power of AI. 12 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,560 We've streamlined our payroll optimizations and today, I'm actually really excited to tell you guys, 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,760 we're announcing Linus Coin, a Web 6.9 initial coin offering 14 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,760 that I've been told legally I cannot say 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,760 is guaranteed to double your initial investment or more. 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,360 All you have to do is buy your token today, 17 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:21,320 wait some period of time and then redeem it for double what you paid or more on LTTstore.com. 18 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,040 So let's talk about that and everything else that I'm excited to share about this next chapter 19 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,200 of Linus Media Group, including this exciting segue to our sponsor. 20 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,200 While skyrocketing prices for RAM, SSDs, 21 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,920 hard drives, not to mention basic necessities have put a lot of pressure on our writing department, 22 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,240 FOMO Foundry showed me that with the power of AI, 23 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,500 I don't have to see them struggle anymore. That's right, the departures you guys saw recently, 24 00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:56,360 those were just the appetizer and I'm proud to announce 25 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:03,480 that our writing department is the first one that was successfully completely replaced by ChatGPT. 26 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720 I mean, sorry, I shouldn't say completely replaced 27 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,520 by ChatGPT because YouTube themselves 28 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,520 also contributed to our streamlined new workforce 29 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:22,320 through their inspiration tab. Now, I won't lie, I was a little bit apprehensive 30 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,640 when we started going in this direction, but when you consider how our views have only gone up 31 00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,920 since we started this transition, I don't see a downside. 32 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:33,240 I mean, check this out. 33 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,040 And print it, ready for the teleprompter. 34 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,840 On the subject of printing, why use graphic designers who need chairs 35 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,640 and food and drink and money when you can just do everything yourself? 36 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,640 Watch this, cute computer giving thumbs up T-shirt design. 37 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,840 I just typed that into our proprietary LTT LLM and 38 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,040 clicks and, no, it's funny. 39 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,560 For some reason, this LLM is really expensive. 40 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,680 It kind of slowed, but it does a great job. So we're just gonna keep using it. 41 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,880 You can get this shirt today, by the way, for a limited time at LTTstore.com. 42 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,240 Now, this is a perfect time for us to address the elephants in the room. 43 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,360 If you saw our how LTT makes and spends money videos, 44 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,840 you'll know that we pivoted from being a media company to a product company ages ago. 45 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,520 And during a recent executive meeting, FOMO Foundry outlined their strategy 46 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,400 to double down on that. Hey guys, where's Taren? 47 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,800 He is on, let's say, vacation. 48 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,160 Oh, that makes sense. I mean, you guys have been doing such a great job 49 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,800 without him. This new scheme of yours, brilliant. 50 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,360 It's gonna fund the company for the next six, seven years, 51 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,880 easy. It's the LTT challenge coin. 52 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,040 And before you think, this ICO is gonna be 53 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,960 yet another run pull, it's not. 54 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,560 This is the real deal. And FOMO Foundry has been a huge help 55 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,480 getting this coin made. Great job, guys. 56 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,400 Remember when I got the shaft on our original screwdriver production run? 57 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,600 They made 100,000 defective shafts 58 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,920 that we ended up repurposing to make the scribe driver pen. 59 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,920 Well, what I didn't tell you is I got railed twice. 60 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,960 That same up supplier also made 61 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,480 100,000 faulty zinc ratchet housings. 62 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,000 As for our engineering team, they had over three years 63 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,120 to figure out what to do with these. FOMO did it in a day. 64 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,920 That's why they're gone too. Melt them down into a coin. 65 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,000 Yes, melt them all down. And melt them down we did. 66 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,360 The zinc housings, of course. We worked with an incredible coin minting partner 67 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,040 down in the 11th province and crafted 10,000 68 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,920 of these standard coins that are redeemable at two to one, 69 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,440 along with 100 rare coins that can be redeemed four to one 70 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,720 and 10 ultra rare coins that can be redeemed 71 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,120 at a 10 to one rate on LTTstore.com. 72 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,880 I actually tried asking for one of the ultra rares for myself, but they said that, and this is a quote, 73 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,040 my meatbag performance was a little underwhelming. 74 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,920 But hey, at least you guys will get a chance at one. 75 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,800 One for customer. Enough about this though. Let's shoot that video that I wrote earlier. 76 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Actually, kind of think of it. There is one thing I'm finding a little bit confusing 77 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,800 about this. The AI executives say that this will fund the company 78 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,400 for years, but if we're selling it for half 79 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,200 of what it's worth, I won't be be losing money. 80 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,240 I don't really. Don't worry about that. Why is it said to get done? No, but the math is simple. 81 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,680 Less than, and then selling for, no, that doesn't make any sense. 82 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:26,200 That's right. You'll be getting a cool collectible and doubling your money in credit on LTTstore. 83 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Now I legally can't call this an investment. So why don't I show you guys this cool video 84 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:38,000 about the origin of challenge coins? While many stories have appeared over the years, 85 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,920 the most common is that the challenge coins were used to identify oneself 86 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,920 in the absence of military ID. 87 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,440 A World War I soldier had escaped German captivity 88 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,280 and managed to make it back to a French outpost. According to the story, 89 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:57,840 the French were gonna kill the soldier until he showed the squadron medallion around his neck, 90 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,800 which was enough proof to look into his claims. 91 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,880 Which would have helped Elijah in this case, 92 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,960 but he doesn't have a Linus coin on him. And in a world where companies are using AI 93 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:15,600 to impersonate people, you can never be too sure who's real and who's not. 94 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,680 Take them out. Now you may be asking, 95 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,760 how the heck are you gonna make any money off this Linus? 96 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,120 Don't ask that. Instead, look at this helpful diagram 97 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,680 the FOMO executive team gave me to help explain it. 98 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,160 As you can see, FOMO invests in Linus Media Group. 99 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,080 Now they own us. We make products for them like the challenge coin. 100 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,480 We then sell that challenge coin at a loss to get people hooked on FOMO Foundry. 101 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,680 FOMO Foundry takes that money and reinvests in us here. 102 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,920 Literally everyone makes money this way. Nobody gets stuck holding a bag. 103 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,240 So get yours today because I really did lose a ton of money 104 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,360 buying those zinc housings and I just plain can't keep myself out 105 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,480 of mild boring controversies. So I really need this cash injection 106 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,080 if I'm gonna make the gamer jet a reality, which I did by the way. 107 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,920 Cute, isn't she? Can't do the tour today because, well, you know how it is. 108 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:23,960 So the full video is coming tomorrow, but only if we get enough people to visit FOMOFoundry.ai, 109 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,280 our new parent company's website. So go check that out and I will see you guys there. 110 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,160 But not before I tell you about our sponsor. If you guys enjoyed this video, 111 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,400 how about you go and watch, how does LMG spend money? 112 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,200 We talk a little bit about the financial struggles that brought us to this point, 113 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,360 as well as, well, there's a teaser for this thing in there 114 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,520 if you were paying really close attention.
