I saw the word easy in the title and immediately thought this better be tongue-in-cheek! Thanks for not disappointing me 🤣

Your first footnote about Ai is my manifesto. I may never get published but I will have had a decent life making art. That is enough.

So it really is as easy as 1-2-3 - if you are a greek god.

Well, guess I am only a scandinavian without heritage.. but then again, Viking’s, the Islandic sagas and the Nordic mythology. Thor, the good of thunder, Odin, Loke, Freja… (… of to the rabbit hole )

I feel like being a Norse God would have some ancillary benefits 😜

Am pretty sure it might have, yes. But I can’t tell you - it is classified ;)

We should all listen to the wisdom of the internets at all times, it's always 100% foolproof!

Let's wave to each other as we pass by in our jets!!

When I started reading this, I thought, "Oh no. Jacob has caved." And I was angry because not only had you caved, but you didn't make any sense and there was nothing actually useful in what you said. Thank goodness you had a secret newsletter below it. I completely agree with your sentiments. I'm probably never going to make a video. It isn't me. But I say probably because I'm constantly growing and changing and maybe someday that will be me. Ditto FB ads, TikTok and all that nonsense. And I'm super-pissed you TM'd Death Star of Art Making Business. I was going to do that. ;p

😂… it felt so wrong to write it that way. I’m hoping no one takes it seriously lol. I’ll allow your use of the phrase even though I own the TM. Im magnanimous if nothing eles
