Podbit · Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
On a semi-log chart, 75 years of computing improvement looks like a straight line — from relay computers in 1939 to Nvidia GPUs today. That straight line is why AGI is inevitable and why most people are still shocked by it.

Dave Blundin praises Kurzweil for attaching dates to predictions, Kurzweil presents his semi-log curve of computing progress from 1939 to today, showing unbroken exponential growth.
Before Kurzweil, plenty of AI researchers were thinking about the singularity. Nobody had put exact dates on it. Putting a date on the future lets you build your life and career around what's coming, not what's gone.
Kurzweil predicted AGI by 2029 back in 1999 — 30 years in advance — and it's landing almost exactly on target. He also forecasted that debate over whether AGI had arrived would begin around 2026, which is now happening.
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.
