Will a super AI be the last invention/innovation man creates?

Scenario 1: Yes, it’s the last human invention.
A superintelligence designs better batteries, cures diseases, discovers new physics, invents new materials, writes software, designs spacecraft, and even improves itself. Humans become more like people defining goals than people creating solutions.

The sequence becomes:

Humans invent AGI.
AGI invents ASI.
ASI invents everything else.

In that sense, the last invention attributable primarily to humanity is the machine that surpassed us.

Scenario 2: No, because intelligence isn’t the bottleneck.
Innovation isn’t just thinking. It also requires:

deciding what problems matter
setting values and priorities
gathering real-world data
experimenting
building physical infrastructure
and accepting risk

Even a superintelligence can’t invent a new bridge without materials or test a new drug without experiments. Humans, or human institutions - could remain essential partners.

South Metro Custom Remodeling has trusted us with their marketing all year - and it’s paying off.

Our consistent lead flow has kept Adam and his team booked out months in advance. Even now, heading into the back half of the year (when leads used to dry up under their old strategy), the pipeline hasn’t slowed down.

That’s the difference the right marketing makes.

WAIT!!!!!!! Ads work?

Nothing like a quick 86k in new revenue tracked back from meta 👀

The game changed. Most haven’t.

Here’s what’s actually working right now:

Your creative IS your targeting. Stop obsessing over audience size and start obsessing over the hook. Broad + scroll-stopping video will outperform your hyper-segmented cold audience every time. The algorithm is smarter than your interest stacks.

You have 3 seconds. That’s it. Open with pain, a pattern interrupt, or a claim so bold they can’t scroll past it. If your first 3 seconds are a logo animation or a friendly “Hey guys!” you’re already dead.

One campaign. One offer. Ruthless focus. Scattered budget = scattered signal = the algorithm never learns. Stack everything behind your best offer until it scales, then expand.

Stop testing audiences - test creatives. Run 3–5 variations. Kill losers at 48 hours. Double down on winners. Rinse and repeat.

The brands winning right now aren’t smarter. They’re just more disciplined.

Pick one of these to focus on. Implement it today.

Send this to someone burning budget on bad ads 👊

David and his team closed 65% of Facebook leads in 2025.

Not 65% of set appointments. 65% of any and all leads.

How’d they do it? Speed.

He would call me and tell me “Joe if we don’t contact these people right away we almost never reach them, but if we do, we almost always win our jobs”

And I know what you’re thinking… but no, David is not the cheapest seal coating company on the block. They are competitively priced ABOVE the average.

Advertising used to be about placement.

The billboard on the busiest highway. The bench at the right bus stop. The full-page spread in the magazine everyone read.
Back then, distribution was the advantage. If you owned attention, you won.

Now? Every brand has access to the same platforms. Same feeds. Same targeting tools. Same ad placements.

Which means the advantage isn’t where your ad shows up anymore. It’s whether the creative is strong enough to stop someone from scrolling.

The brands winning today aren’t just media buyers. They’re storytellers.

Great creative beats average placement every time.

If you don’t know how much revenue your business will generate next month, your marketing isn’t predictable or controllable. A high ROI funnel and proper tracking can fix that

12X ROAS for 12 months straight. 📈

That means for every $1 Tyler put into Meta ads, he got $12 back.

(Best slot machine ever)

A year ago he was wondering where the next job would come from. Now he’s expanding from 1 crew to 3 crews just to keep up with the work.

That’s the power of a system that consistently brings in qualified leads.

Proud of this partnership and excited to see what the next year looks like. 🚀

When your ads are healthy.
When they’re printing a 10X return.
When everything is TRACKED and you actually trust the numbers…

The worst thing you can do?

Touch everything. 😅

The best thing you can do?

Scale. Intelligently. Patiently. Appropriately.

Not doubling budgets overnight.
Not launching 14 new campaigns because you’re excited.
Not “testing” your way out of a winning system.

If it’s working… feed it.
Increase spend in controlled increments.
Protect the creative.
Watch your MER.
Respect the data.

Winning ad accounts don’t need hacks.
They need discipline.

Scale what’s proven.
Ignore your ego.
Let the math do its job. 📈
