WEBVTT 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:08.560 After yet another year unforgivable controversies, becoming a Reddit mod, 00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:11.960 buying a content house, getting braces, 00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:17.960 it's clear that we need another major change here. In spite of being so 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:19.280 obviously problematic, I owe it to what 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:24.480 little remains of our original world-class team to try to grow this 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.920 company and create new opportunities for them. 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:32.920 That's why when Financial Optimization and Market Operations Foundry approached 00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:36.440 us about an acquisition with a deal that was 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:40.440 sweet as honey, not to mention some great new ideas for helping to maintain 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.920 our financial solvency, I just couldn't sign the deal fast 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.320 enough. In the short couple of months since they took over, we have synergized 00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:51.760 our efficiencies with the power of AI. We've streamlined our payroll 00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:56.360 optimizations and today, I'm actually really excited to 00:00:53.560 --> 00:01:02.960 tell you guys, we're announcing Linus Coin, a web 6.9 initial coin offering 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:04.720 that I've been told that legally I 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:10.120 cannot say is guaranteed to double your initial 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.400 investment or more. All you have to do is buy your token 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:20.280 today, wait some period of time, and then redeem it for double what you paid 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:24.840 or more on lttstore.com. 00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:30.000 So, let's talk about that and everything else that I'm excited to share about 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.320 this next chapter of Linus Media Group. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.800 Including this exciting segue to our sponsor, 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:39.160 dbrand. Their unhinged touch grass skins 00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:42.600 are back for a limited time only. So, make sure you pick one up now. So, the 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.920 next time someone tells you to touch grass on the internet, it'll be right 00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:53.120 there. You don't have to go outside at all. You can get them now at shortlinus.com. 00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:57.400 While skyrocketing prices for RAM, SSDs, hard drives, not to mention basic 00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:02.200 necessities have put a lot of pressure on our writing department. FOMO Foundry 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.040 showed me that with the power of AI, I don't have to see them struggle 00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:08.479 anymore. That's right. The departures you guys 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:12.840 saw recently, those were just the appetizer. And I'm 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:18.160 proud to announce that our writing department is the first one that was 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:25.040 successfully completely replaced by ChatGPT. I mean, sorry, I shouldn't say 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.680 completely replaced by ChatGPT because 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:32.520 YouTube themselves also contributed to our uh 00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:37.400 streamlined new workforce through their inspiration tab. 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:41.200 Now, I won't lie. I was a little bit apprehensive when we started going in 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:44.640 this direction. But, when you consider how our views have 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:47.880 only gone up since we started this transition, 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.120 I don't see a downside. I mean, check this out. 00:03:00.320 --> 00:03:06.959 And print it. Ready for the teleprompter. 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:12.680 On the subject of printing, why use graphic designers who need 00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:14.600 chairs and food and drink and money when 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.280 you can just do everything yourself? Watch this. 00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:21.600 Cute computer giving thumbs up t-shirt 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:27.959 design. I just typed that into our proprietary LTT LLM and 00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:32.480 click send. That was funny. For some reason, this 00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:37.280 LLM is really expensive. And kind of slow, but it does a great 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:40.200 job, so we're just going to keep using it. 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:45.320 You can get this shirt today, by the way, for a limited time at lttstore.com. 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:50.480 Now, this is a perfect time for us to address the elephant in the room. If you 00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:54.920 saw our how LTT makes and spends money videos, you'll know that we pivoted from 00:03:52.840 --> 00:04:00.560 being a media company to a product company ages ago. And during a recent 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:05.880 executive meeting, FOMO Foundry outlined their strategy to double down on that. 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.720 Hey guys. Where's Terrence? 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.880 He is on, let's say, vacation. 00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:17.880 Oh. That makes sense. I mean, you guys have been doing such a great job without him. 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.239 This new scheme of yours, brilliant. It's going to fund the 00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:28.680 company for the next six, seven years, easy. It's the LTT 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:30.880 Challenge Coin. And before you think 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:35.000 this ICO is going to be yet another rug pull, 00:04:31.760 --> 00:04:37.400 it's not. This is the real deal, and 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:45.080 FOMO Foundry has been a huge help getting this coin made. Great job, guys. 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:47.240 Remember when I got the shaft on our 00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:51.000 original screwdriver production run? They made 100,000 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.840 defective shafts that we ended up repurposing to make 00:04:52.919 --> 00:04:58.160 the Screwdriver Pen. Well, 00:04:56.200 --> 00:05:05.560 what I didn't tell you is I got railed twice. That same 00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:08.440 up supplier also made 100,000 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:12.680 faulty zinc ratchet housings. As for our engineering team, 00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:19.200 they had over 3 years to figure out what to do with these. FOMO did it in a day. 00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:24.960 That's why they're gone, too. Melt them down into a coin. Yes, melt them all 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:28.520 down. And melt them down we did. The zinc housings, of course. 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.360 We worked with an incredible coin minting partner down in the 11th 00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:35.720 province and crafted 10,000 of these 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:42.440 standard coins that are redeemable at two to one, along with 100 rare coins 00:05:39.320 --> 00:05:44.840 that can be redeemed four to one, and 10 00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:50.920 ultra-rare coins that can be redeemed at a 10 to one rate on lttstore.com. 00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:56.240 I actually tried asking for one of the ultra rares for myself, but they said 00:05:52.800 --> 00:06:00.640 that and this is a quote, my meat bag 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:02.520 performance was a little underwhelming. 00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:05.520 But uh hey, at least you guys will get a chance at one. 00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:11.160 One per customer. Enough about this though. Let's shoot 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:12.800 that video that I wrote earlier. 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:17.240 Actually, kind of think of it. There is one thing I'm finding a little bit 00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:22.280 confusing about this. The AI executives say that this will fund the company for 00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:24.640 years, but if we're selling it for half 00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:26.919 of what it's worth, I won't we be losing money? I don't 00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:32.800 really >> Don't Don't worry about that, Linus. Just send it to the No, but the math is simple. 00:06:30.200 --> 00:06:36.640 Less than and then selling for but No, that doesn't make any sense. 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:43.080 That's right. You'll be getting a cool collectible and doubling your money 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.240 in credit on lttstore. Now, I legally 00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:50.680 can't call this an investment, so why don't I show you guys this cool video 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.680 about the origin of challenge coins? 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:57.240 While many stories have appeared over the years, the most common is that the 00:06:55.200 --> 00:07:02.880 challenge coins were used to identify oneself in the absence of military ID. 00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:06.120 A World War I soldier had escaped German captivity 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:10.520 and managed to make it back to a French outpost, according to the story. The 00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:15.040 French were going to kill the soldier until he showed the squadron medallion 00:07:12.640 --> 00:07:20.280 around his neck, which was enough proof to look into his claims. 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:24.760 Which would have helped Elijah in this case, but he doesn't have a Linus coin 00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:30.040 on him. And in a world where companies are using AI to impersonate people, you 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:33.400 can never be too sure who's real and who's not. 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:36.880 TAKE HIM OUT. NOW, you may be asking, how the heck are 00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:42.080 you going to make any money off this, Linus? Don't ask that. 00:07:39.880 --> 00:07:45.720 Instead, look at this helpful diagram the FOMO executive team gave me to help 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:51.360 explain it. As you can see, FOMO invests in Linus 00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:55.880 Media Group. Now, they own us. We make products for them, like the challenge 00:07:53.440 --> 00:08:01.440 coin. We then sell that challenge coin at a loss to get people hooked on FOMO 00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:06.600 Foundry. FOMO Foundry takes that money and reinvests in us here. Literally, 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:11.000 everyone makes money this way. Nobody gets stuck holding the bag. 00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:16.720 So, get yours today because I really did lose a ton of money buying 00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:19.960 those zinc housings, and I just plain 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.400 can't keep myself out of mild, boring 00:08:19.960 --> 00:08:26.080 controversies. So, I really need this cash injection if I'm going to make the 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:29.880 Gamer Jet a reality. Which I did, by the way. 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.520 Cute, isn't she? Can't do the tour today cuz well, 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:39.840 you know how it is. So, the full video is coming tomorrow, but only if we get 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:44.000 enough people to visit fomofoundry.ai, our new parent company's website. So, go 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:46.560 check that out, and I will see you guys there. 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:51.640 But, not before I tell you about our sponsor, dbrand. Last year, dbrand 00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:55.240 launched limited-edition touch grass skins that, just like the name implies, 00:08:53.760 --> 00:08:58.800 allowed you to touch grass from the comfort of your own home, or the bus, or 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:02.720 a strip club. Apparently, they're really popular right now. Anyway, the point is, 00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:06.280 with touch grass, every time you pick up your phone to respond to a text, or just 00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:11.800 to doomscroll TikTok, you can be actively touching grass. And the reissue 00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:16.120 is even better because they support even more devices. You can now get some real 00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:20.480 fake grass for all the latest major smartphones, laptops, tablets, and 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.480 gaming devices. Plus, every order of touch grass includes a free blue sky, 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:30.839 not to be confused with the social media platform Blue Sky. dbrand's blue sky is 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:32.839 just a blue sky with 3D printed clouds. 00:09:30.839 --> 00:09:37.120 It's the perfect substitute for, you know, going outside. That's right, touch 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.080 grass and blue sky are back for a limited time only, but only while 00:09:39.280 --> 00:09:44.880 supplies last. So, hurry on over to shortlinemus.com to pick them up before 00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:47.920 they're gone forever. Ever. 00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:51.400 Ever. If you guys enjoyed this video, how 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:55.160 about you go and watch how does LMG spend money? We talk a little bit about 00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:59.120 the financial struggles that brought us to this point, as well as uh 00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:03.080 Well, there's a teaser for this thing in there if you were paying really close attention.
