Podbit · Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Even with a perfect AI algorithm, Dr. Wissner-Gross argues compute demand would still surge — Jevons Paradox style. Algorithmic improvements are currently absorbing half of all hardware gains. If they saturate, hardware pressure would only intensify.

A single CRISPR base-editing infusion permanently switches off PCSK9, cutting LDL 62% for 18+ months in Phase 1 trials. Wissner-Gross calls it Star Trek-level medicine. [1] — Peter Diamandis "VRRV-102 is a single gene-editing infusion that permanently switches off the PCSK9 gene, cutting LDL cholesterol 62% and sustaining results…" 1:33:30 [2] — Dr. Alexander Wissner-Gross "AI is going to cook math. AI is cooking math. AI has cooked math." 1:02:13
A single-infusion gene-editing therapy (VRRV-102) targeting the PCSK9 gene reduced LDL cholesterol by 62% and PCSK9 protein levels by 88% in a Phase 1 trial.
The LDL reduction from the VRRV-102 PCSK9 gene-editing therapy was sustained for up to 18 months in the Phase 1 trial — from a single infusion.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
