Can you recommend any liberal or progressive YouTubers talking about the ethical use of AI to do good in the world?

I would not identify with a particular political party, and I also wouldn't necessarily identify with YouTubers that just so happen to be liberal or progressive. If you really wanted people that are liberal or progressive, you should just go straight to these big CEOs that run these companies. You'll probably look at me and be like, 'What the fuck are you talking about, Nick? Why would Sam Altman be a liberal or progressive?' Have you read Sam Altman's blog? Is there literally anything more liberal or progressive than the claims he makes in his blog? This guy was talking about AI 5 or 10 years ago — AI is going to be used to read all legal documents, generate all scientific advancements, rectify disparities between all races, people's creeds, colors, genders, whatever the hell. This guy is so far ahead of the curve. It's so interesting to me that he's now considered this big tech oligarchy guy despite actually espousing probably the most liberal, progressive, and some might say extreme views of all. So if somebody says something that you like, obviously I wouldn't retroactively be like, 'Ah, but are you liberal or progressive?' and if the answer is no then you're not the sort of YouTuber I want to follow. But yeah, I don't know any, because I don't really listen to YouTubers on a political basis.

Should I stop making AI videos and focus on consistency and discipline instead?

Thank you. I had a great rest last night and I'm on fire today. If you want to talk about consistency and discipline, the best way is to get 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night—it makes everything easier. You asked about making a video on how to create an AI appointment setter; that would help a lot. Are you referring to an AI voice agent? If so, check out my AI voice agent—search for it, as Googling my content helps boost my rankings. One of my daily updates videos appears there, and there's also Nick's AI net worth search, which is funny. Another option is the AI agent, probably the website agent I built, which does some setting for you—give it a try and let me know your thoughts.

With AI now able to edit content really well, how would you create an offer for content repurposing, how would you charge a business, and would you target businesses with no marketing exposure or ones with podcasts you could repurpose at volume with AI? How would you differentiate from existing agencies that aren't using AI?

Simple and straightforward: I would have AI break down long-form clips into short-form clips. I would target preferentially long-form platforms like LinkedIn, full-length X videos and X podcasts, and obviously YouTube videos like mine. I would build three major systems: a video-to-text-post converter, a video-to-static-image converter, and a video clipper. Video-to-text-post converter is pretty straightforward — we've been able to do that for a very long time — you take content that resounds within the transcript of the main piece of long-form content and cut it up for X, Instagram, whatever else. Video-to-static-image is basically the same thing, but there are really strong formats right now where people take what is said in a video transcript, cut it up into really high-ROI segments — the best parts — and turn those into notes that look handwritten. Ormozy did this, a bunch of other guys do this, it's a very common thing to do. Video clipping is where you take the transcript but also identify silences, and use both of those to feed into an AI model to cut at specific moments. You can then add effects, make the card half as tall, put yourself in the bottom half and have visuals and research on the top half. AI can actually do all this stuff now basically completely autonomously.

How do I convert Instagram followers to YouTube viewers?

I can approach it with three main content pillars. First, awareness content that covers the latest AI news—anything new, free, or just launched. Second, implementation content that shows how to actually use AI tools, like deep‑seek tutorials, so it’s not just dry theory. Third, no‑code content that demonstrates using AI via APIs with platforms such as n8n or Make.com. I’ll also add a fourth pillar focused on "AI money"—showing how to monetize the tools rather than just how they work. Each piece will include a clear CTA back to my YouTube channel for detailed guides, and I’ll sprinkle short YouTube clips or intro snippets to keep interest high and drive cross‑platform traffic.

Nine Suresh asks: How does the long‑term earning potential of an entertainment‑creator streaming path compare to focusing on a business? I currently make $1.8k–$2.7k/month from streaming and am considering switching to business. What are your thoughts on entertainment creator vs. business for long‑term money?

I think streaming is an awesome industry to be in, and you should definitely monetize it more while also leaning into the business side. The real value of a streamer—and of our current economy—is the ability to get and sustain attention; just look at how attention drives even the President’s influence. If you’re good at grabbing and holding attention through streaming (whether gaming or anything else), you’re already far ahead, and figuring out monetization is the easier part. Looking ahead, with AGI poised to replace many knowledge‑worker roles, streaming may be one of the few jobs humans will still have in 10‑15 years, so getting started now puts you ahead of the curve. I often bring up Magnus Carlsen as an example: even though AI has long surpassed humans at chess, he’s still printing money, building a massive following, and people love him not just for his chess skill but for his human traits—wit, candor, and his exemplary mastery of the game. Those qualities are what draw an audience, and the same principle applies to any streaming career: showcase your personality and expertise, not just the game. As a quick side note, be careful with automation tools on YouTube—scheduling videos or uploading back‑to‑back on new channels can actually tank your views; the platforms claim no impact, but in practice the performance drops dramatically. So, keep that in mind as you grow.
