Druski reveals Netflix, Amazon and FX all REJECTED his show ideas because they didn’t believe in him, so instead of begging for another chance, he invested his OWN MONEY and built them himself on YouTube 😲
Now the SAME companies are coming back trying to BUY the shows they passed on and it’s turned into a BIDDING WAR 🔥
“I started to just believe in myself… I’m just betting on myself. Now they want to purchase these shows that we’ve made. Now it’s a bidding war.”
“Before anybody sees the vision, YOU have to see it. It has to start with you.” 🔥

As someone who ships LLM systems in production, this scaling video is the closest thing to a "why 96% of Claude and GPT-5's weights are literally useless" explainer I've ever seen released for free.
Everyone thinks trillion-parameter models need every parameter. They don't. A 2019 pruning experiment proved you can delete 96% of a neural net's weights with zero performance loss - meaning most of Claude and GPT-5 is empty scaffolding around a tiny "winning lottery ticket" network doing all the real work.
Bookmark this 18-min video and watch tonight. Same lottery ticket math from 2019 MIT research, now the reason every AI lab wastes 90%+ of its Nvidia budget.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 2019 LTH paper found winning tickets (typically 10-20% size) matching perf on small MNIST/CIFAR models only when retrained from specific inits. It does not prove 96% of trained trillion-param LLMs' weights are useless; IMP fails to scale without major changes.

Sad to see, Yayoi was a very talented artist and one of my favorites. She created such surreal visuals, some very unsettling but always original and stimulating.

You are not defined by your challenges but how you respond to them. Find joy and meaning in the journey, life’s beauty and mystery is all around those with open eyes, mind, and heart to see it

It is exciting to announce that the testnet of @curated_ex is under internal test and will be facing public very soon.
The product is an App Store allowing anyone to publish their financial app on top of shared liquidity for markets.
The underlying infrastructure is a blockchain with an embedded verifiable 200K tps trading engine.
Anyone could create assets on it and anyone could register trading markets on it, FOR FREE.
And curators could choose to list any assets on their trading entry and present the assets to the audience within their apps, earn fees from every trade through it.
Any builders having great product ideas feel free to DM me, we’d love to support you in our ecosystem.
This is the next chapter of financial freedom, stay tuned!
Say it with me: “I’m smart enough to learn anything, if I don’t understand it’s because I don’t have all the information or I’m being lied to.” 🧠
