I’ve Stopped Watching AI News…You Should Too

[@javiermarti_author]

Totally agreed. In a world of constant distraction, laser focus is in revenue-producing activities is more important than ever. Thanks for talking from the heart. I sense you're a good guy and care for others.

[@anymjohnson1729]

Completely Agree with You.

[@EcomSnif]

Hey Liam, I completely agree. Another factor is the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) syndrome. Every time there's an AI news update, we think the mentioned tool will add value to our businesses , but it often doesn't.👍🏻

[@vrbased]

I have known this for months now, but I needed this video to validate it. You hit it dead on brother!! From Matt Wolfes (LEGEND) videos to getting fully "tapped in", you have never shot me in the wrong direction. Thanks for the valuable content per usual

[@moonbeam54321]

Thanks man, i needed to hear this.. i think i have fallen into the same trap, it was a feeling I've had for a while. Problem is you hit on an underlying problem of social media addiction, this is just one part of it. Appreciate the video, made me reconsider things!

[@hrt_chris]

Great point Liam, this also ties into the Pareto principle where 80% of the output (revenue/clients) comes from 20% of the input (recording videos/building solutions). Keep going with those videos, they're amazing and your work really helped a lot of people. Greetings from Romania 💪

[@florianrolke]

Thank you Liam for calling us to focus. No AI news, certainly no TV and no entertainment youtube. Also to commit to a few select sources of information, from which you are one of only two on youtube, has helped me a ton. You and Alex Hormozi. Nothing outside of that. I am committed to filming my work sessions and spend the time, instead of watching youtube, to properly prepare before and review after, yields me better and faster growth than looking up AI news each week. Thank you for your work man, Let's go!

[@rfrench5]

Thank you Liam, this is a great video. Many of us are thinking the same kind of questions, and you bring it all to the forefront.

[@8941065]

Hi Liam thanks for the video, Great point. Would you say that zapier Central is faster and reliable now. In your last video you said it still needs more work and it's kind of slow.

[@LightningStar21]

I don't even do anything related to AI and thought I need to "tap into it". But it's not even really relevant for what I'm doing as an SEO agency owner. I like how you're breaking it down. It's mostly about actually pursuing revenue generating activities like sales calls, outreach, marketing, building a personal brand, etc. - which is what most people are trying to avoid. The good stuff is always waiting outside of the comfort zone. Good stuff, keep it up.

[@AKOBOT3185]

Me too... I'm going through the same thing... I have some projects in mind, and every day so many things come up that in the end I end up "saturated" with so much information...

[@johns2re]

This came at the most perfect time for me. I've been managing several IT and computer science student interns to help me automate my nonprofit's workflows. I have been doing intense research on this for the past 6 months thinking that they'd read my research documents and figure it out - but they had no idea and were overwhelmed with this information. It wasn't until about two weeks ago that I completely slowed down on intake of knowledge and concepts (aside from simple AI news update podcasts) and started playing around. I am now able to see past the smoke and mirrors and better guide my team, even if my background isn't in IT. Game on!

[@bitman32x]

You are my run to persons and Matt Wolfe tor any latest information, like you said I keep chasing new shiny stuff which I dont need. Yes its good to stay up to date, but its better to stick on those boring old tested method like you mention instead getting down the rabbit hole everytime. What you said also applies to everything not just in AI stuff, you are the first person I found here in youtube who actually mention this stuff and it shows your true character and I really respect you on this much more. I got the same feeling also in trading always chasing new stuff as it comes up. Thank you for confirming this.

[@adirnoyman2231]

Liam, you are so spot on! I’ve worked for many years in the enterprise tech sector , and I can absolutely say that you are exactly right. No serious business is going to pay for a software product just because it’s new, when it’s not tried, tested and proven as a stable and reliable software that will bring or save money to their business. Serious business owners are not kids who get excited about every new shiny technology that has just came out.

[@eyoo369]

Coding, coding and more coding... every moment you're not coding or building you're not making money. Simple as that. Stop watching that Matt Wolfes garbage and limit that shit to a bare minimum. Many flashy tools that consumed so much hype cycle eventually flopped such as Devin, Rabbit R1 or the Humane AI pin. Eventually the right tools will be known after they've been stresstested by the early adopters. You wanna explore a new library, LLM, technology after it gets out of the early adopter phase and transitions into a more robust production-ready framework. LLM's have already given us so much "magic" but for many it seems like the effect is wearing off. If you can't build a business now with all the amazing tools readily available, then you'll never be able to build. Not now and not with a new flashy magic framework that disrupts things where you think you have an edge. You just lack resilience to build

[@mithallinho]

Can't cut back on Matt Wolff! Friday wrap-up is a guilty pleasure :)

[@LeeH-e1b]

The saying ‘don’t consume more than you create’ strikes relevant here. Harder to implement than it is to say.

[@adamyasharma2222]

Extreamly relatable i was stuck in the same rabbit hole too, thanks for affirming my thoughts on tackling FOMO. Thank a lot my guy.

[@mitchkruijer9943]

Thank you, Liam, for this wakeup call. Let's get to work.

[@thesoloist009]

Very True Liam. Thank you for always speaking the right things.

[@tangobayus]

I ignore most of the newletters I get. 2023 was the "gee whiz" year for LLM's. This year is about putting AI to work.

[@abdullahsakibmaruf9032]

Totally agree. From August 2023 to April 2024, my algorithm has been geared towards marketing gurus, smma, and dropshipping videos. It's insane how I was able to not spend money on these courses. Crazy times, don't know who to believe.

[@DividendDynamicsYT]

Hi Liam, I really love your content. You inspired me to create my first AI dividend stock analysis agent!

[@jarad4621]

How do you get access to the SaaS?

[@Suleman-lh3rg]

I totally agree Liam, there is just so much news around AI and it does feels like too much to take in and so ive stopped watching much of it. Thanks for vid Liam keep them up

[@peterstrauss3332]

Well done Liam! Keep at it.

[@impushprajyadav]

Following Ai feels overwhelming now 😵

[@moonbeam54321]

Social media is overwhelming, build habits that focus on your own happiness and meaning in life. Best of luck 👍

[@Rickol91]

Spot on indeed, sounds like my story as well. Keep up this straight posts cheers

[@raniarovich]

I agree to a certain degree. If you don't consume any market research than you will fall out of line eventually with competitors who transform "cutting edge" tech into "mainstream" tech. Think Vapi or Air Ai. Newsletters, youtube, and business communities are all good examples on how you can stay up to date. At the same time, this should just be a substitute to the real work that you are doing of creating and building your own personal agency.

[@raniarovich]

Just to make sure I get my point across, do what Liam Ottley is doing - keeping in tune with some OpenAI changes, some AI agency's in the space, mayyyybe 1 ai newsletters and thats it.

[@katerina3064]

Thank you for your useful videos! I'm watching them last months but i have to ask you for subtitles in english if its possible! ☺️ We are from Greece and we know english but not fluently and you talk too quick for us to understand everything.. So i believe it would be better to read in subtitles what you say. And with AI maybe we could read in greek in any way?? 😁 Thank you very much!!! Greetings from Greece!!! 🌞🏖️

[@gerdaleta]

😮 not understanding AI news or any news😮 is no different😮 then ignorance is strength😮 so you're a citizen of incoc😮 praise be big brother😮

[@Danielos612]

He says we don't need any startup products - when he shows him using synthflow AI in other videos?

[@the_night_sky777]

I used to "collect" AI tools for my ecommerce business, about 300 bookmarks of the latest most quirky tools. Many of them don't exist anymore or I don't trust them since they're a one man show. Now I just read the headlines and tldr of my AI newsletters ONCE A WEEK and that's enough.

[@aianish]

What camera and lens are you using?

[@MuteUnmuted]

Makes sense mate. Any excuse to procrastinate.

[@erwinrnasution]

couldn't agree more Liam.

[@LearnAvecAmeen]

Thank you my friend. I was going insane w all these AI news :)

[@blackbird6535]

Sir what is future of ecommerce chatbot build I started ecommerce ai chatbot building but I confused this is right way to success please help me

[@ocularsports]

perfect advice.

[@kaizenedge]

I been guilty of this. I've been distracted consuming AI content thinking im going to miss something and not moving my business forward

[@gerdaleta]

😮 there was tree cutter who used an axe😮 do you needed to make more so he started working harder and cutting more trees😮 no matter how many trees he cut you can never make enough😮 until one day his friend asked him when was the last time you sharpened your axe😮

[@trebmaster]

I was told by a friend that this is "shiny object syndrome".

[@HaveYouEverWonderedHow]

You are absolutely right (in my case that is).

[@tonywhite4476]

I had been paying over $200 a month in Patreon subscriptions to try to keep up with the fast moving AI train and needless to say, I have over 600 projects that I haven’t even unzipped yet. And about half of them either have to be updated or are obsolete. On top of that, my brain is fried and I gets nauseous when I hear about another model coming out.

[@BillAugersdca]

"Scammed by my own brain," funny and true.

[@ElectricSkullmeat]

FOMO is real. I realized the creep was there, and I'm a real minimalist with my digital/analog attention span. I don't overload myself and this is the main culprit area adding psychological weight! Thank you for calling it out, Liam!! This is gonna be a load off. Unsubbed from a bunch of shit... thank goodness it hadn't gotten out of hand.

[@vinception777]

BROOOO, I'm sorry, I have to say it because I DO like your content, you are NOT the CREATOR of the AAA model, and it does NOT make you look better to say that, in fact, every time I ear you say that I think about one thing and it is closing the video, because you just appear like a bragging guy, it's just like with the "Instagram flex" arc, you need to let that thing go man. (Even if it is/was true) I do respect and like your content a lot, and you are definetly a beast in this new industry, I'm sorry, I had to get that stuff out of my chest 😂 Big respect for what you are doing for people in the AAA space, I do agree with most of your content 🙏

[@mignonfuchs469]

This is the first video anybody who starts with AI should watch...😆

[@shotelco]

@9:20: *_"Cognitive Load_* refers to the amount of information that our working memory can process at any given time. If you are continuing to load your brain with _Unnecessary and and Unhelpful_ information, you're just going to overload your brain and and BLOCK it from soaking in and processing the information that you really need to be baking into your long-term memory" "Participants" should print out the above, and pin it on the wall next to the screen.

[@TalesfromtheGodsofEgypt]

Sometimes you need to hear what you suspect from someone who knows it because he's been through it. Thanks buddy!

[@astroimagers]

We're in the A.I. buffet phase. Too stuffed to even look at dessert.

[@christopherraines3202]

More like the charlatan phase...a lot of bullshit out there and tools that simply do not work. If anyone wants serious long-term success in the "AI" field, learn data science, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks. Trying to use tools that are built by someone else will only get you so far.

[@akhonakhoza]

Thanks big man 🏆

[@andrewvideos3404]

Word!!!

[@MrTheDefyz]

Save it!

[@AliKibao]

You're stating the obvious but some of us have to hear it.

[@gisellechang7955]

Exactly.

[@JeffTheEntrepreneur]

Agree

[@SerenityMusicOasis]

Funny how everyone starting AI biz makes millions in weeks 🙄

[@ScottSummerill]

Just saved me from falling into the Ai rabbit hole. 🐰

[@christopherraines3202]

What is an "AI Agency"? Do you know how to actually build anything when it comes to LLMs, ML, DL? Or does your "agency" just use "AI" software written by someone else and you white-label and markup to B2B clients? I really would wish folks would stop using the term "AI" because it is not true in any sense whatsoever if you know how the models are built.

[@LiamOttley]

Depends what style of AI agency you want to run. My agency does custom AI solutions so we build things from scratch using LLM APIs. We started off using low code tools though

[@playboxlimited.]

I’m stopping because you stopped 😊

[@mariomills]

A true follower

[@DanielRoPhotos]

Clickbait titles often exaggerating the benefits or risks of AI without providing balanced or accurate information. This can lead to unrealistic expectations about what AI can achieve and confusion about its practical limitations. Many AI news sources, especially on KZbin, focus on broad and vague discussions rather than delving into specific use cases or success stories that businesses can emulate.

[@DanielRoPhotos]

Great video

[@mariomills]

Looks like a gap in the market....anyone starting a channel that use AI for specific use cases? Hehe

[@zoranProCode]

Are you promoting your muscles or AI solutions?

[@PabloCarmonapc]

It’s like looking Alex Hormozi’s younger brother dressing up and copying his style. BTW I think Liam is influenced by Alex which is not a bad thing. It’s pure effective marketing that will bring more millions in revenue to Liam.

[@KendallMatthews]

The algorithm was reading my mind and sent this video to my feed. Former Spectator.

[@sophiajmc]

Fr, when you watch people talk, you trick yourself into thinking you're being productive.

[@thewebstylist]

Wow and you put our beloved Matt Wolfe on your thumbnail
