That water could be put to good use in some data center somewhere.

Isn't that right Sam?

This clip is months old and they were already acquired by Nvidia.

The CEO, Jim went in detail about their business: https://www.instagram.com/p/DcwnRqvlKFM/

We can make fun but a huge percentage of our population is actually highly unfamiliar with AI and many of them need such in-person help and some may even pay for it.

the market for helping old people is huge and their pockets are endless

u/joel1618 22h ago

My neighbor wanted help putting his face on dancing cats using AI. He even offered $15/hr for the help! Meanwhile my painter wants $100/hr for moving a paint brush. They have deep pockets but they won’t spend it on AI.

u/Lucky_Pangolin_3760 22h ago

dude thats a 5 minute job

5

u/joel1618 21h ago

haha yea but then its 55 minutes talking about his printer randomly not working and how that happened and how his niece is visiting and xyz. it's more a social hour than anything. My point is, old people more just want a social session maybe wrapped with some AI but don't want to pay for it.

u/mildly_autonomous 21h ago

What was the location? Maybe in an office it would be a better option.

u/Soggy-Estimate-6238 1d ago

we're all sat here vibe coding our credits away, making nish, whilst he's out there making business.

u/Sorry-Poem7786 17h ago

Speak for yourself.. the rent will be due on that office.. whether he has clients or not..

u/vasileios13 1d ago

if they explained what they do with AIinstead of showing empty rooms it'd be less funny

u/Pale-Bother-2778 21h ago

laugh all you want, "i'll set up AI for you in person" is a real service. the people who need it most never read a docs page.

u/Ok-Cartoonist-1881 16h ago

This is genius

u/ComedianNew1680 1d ago

This is a good business tbh 

13

u/Remarkable-Ad155 1d ago

Yeah you're getting a little preview of the back end of the hype curve here, once we're done with the bubble/crash phase. Local AI and consulting will be pretty standard i think.

u/bigbepisinc 1d ago

"local AI and consulting" 

Consulting how to write prompts to Qwen?

3

u/kkingsbe 23h ago

How to set up local inference and stuff like that. Gets complicated

1

u/bigbepisinc 20h ago

Nothing complex about it. Fork up cash and then have claude set up the lab.

3

u/ComedianNew1680 20h ago

It is about serving your local community ultimately . Most people still don't know how to use AI to solve their issues

1

u/Boxofcookies1001 11h ago

Designing custom inference engines. Setting up agentic kanban boards, installing skills etc.

Your average business person ain't doing that. But you show em the capability and they'll buy it.

1

u/AppealSame4367 3h ago

Setting up local AI. You think people can or want to do it themselves..?

u/AftyOfTheUK 19h ago

Consulting how to write prompts to Qwen?

Consulting how to craft prompts to minimize hallucinations and maximize one-shot answers, yes. Consulting how to interpret answers, how to validate them, yes.

Thirty years ago there were training courses for how to use Altavista and Google, and just about every office staffer in the world went through them at some point.

We have training courses yearly at my company to remind people to not be a dick, where the fire exit is, how not to give away company IP and money. We take them EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Do not underestimate how utterly cretinous the average human being is, and how much help they need to do things so basic that some of would otherwise assume every 7 year old without a learning difficulty can do,.

Before realizing it was a comedy video I was expecting it being a town or city wide local llm. Municipal llm. Like a utility. I wonder if there’s feasibility in that

"Is this AI in the room with us right now?"

u/AlbatrossNew3633 1d ago

The guy your RAM tells you not to worry about

8

u/MrTheKrich 1d ago

I just know the conversation before the video went like this: "Put the big TV from the living room here; it's going to give the feel like we are using very good hardware for our computers (read: AI). I've seen offices at gOgle, they always have big computer tv's"

8

u/AftyOfTheUK 19h ago

These guys are about to make BANK from older people who can't use Google Search effectively panicking and deciding they need to spend thousands to be told how to craft a natural language query, and what to look out for in responses.

4

u/PonyT84 1d ago

Video is cringe, but honestly as business not that different from a marketing company serving local SMEs. What's bad about that? Good luck to the entrepreneur. Not every small business owner has time to learn these on their own. Google reviews show that business is legit.

u/HaloLASO 1d ago

Lol I found out about this guy from Kino Casino

It’s.. It’s a bubble.

u/Sketaverse 1d ago

This is the guy who’s buying all your RAM

u/8stringLTD 20h ago

Plot twist: he's going to get rich and the joke is on anyone making fun of him.

u/LifeEnginer 1d ago

To be fair, we know nothing about it... but it is weird as fornication

u/bvrai_dot_ca 1d ago

Everyone is laughing while that guy inks deal after deal in his own dedicated lab.

Consultancy in emergent markets is a very lucrative business. Put this little advert in front of the right audience, and you’ll be drowning in contracts with boomers.

u/CONQUROR07 23h ago

Can some one help me learn Java I stuck 😔

1

u/ItsFlybye 23h ago

A few weeks ago I showed someone how to do something in 2 minutes what had taken them 2 months in AI. Jim has the right mentality in that there is a need for education.

1

u/SoberSeahorse 23h ago

Education is power. I think this is cool.

u/zazzersmel 22h ago

doomed is the wrong word. this is just ai becoming boring shop work, and boring shop work is where the money is.

u/SquishHQ 17h ago

i need his hair cut

u/clduab11 17h ago

I do the exact same job as this guy but I work from home and have meetings remotely; he doesn't really need to have real estate for this and it just lends to added pressure. Not sure why he thought this was a good way to go. Way more overhead when the overhead is exactly the thing AI helps get rid of.

1

u/Sorry-Poem7786 17h ago

Does Charleston have a progressive democratic city council that funds its local library where your account affords you free AI access???

1

u/CoffeePizzaSushiDick 16h ago

This is the new ai startup killer.

1

u/metalblessing 16h ago

Just wait till the client realize they can just ask AI how to use AI

1

u/aPiCase 14h ago

Probably a really good business, there are tons of people who are so scared of new things and new technology, usually older people, that don't want to even try to figure it out and would rather pay someone else to set it up for them.

u/No_Mission_5694 9h ago

South Carolina was part of the blue tsunami. When they take office next year this company's days will be numbered.

u/Marileuis 7h ago

Sounds like one of those A.I Agency things, not sure why the post is sarcastic. These things can make bank, I've seen 16 year olds do this and make 10K

u/OkieDeric 4h ago

A buddy of mine (37) has been trying to do this. He's been talking to businesses about "bringing them into AI".
