Ben Cera: AGI is already here and skepticism is a skill issue

Ben Cera: Polsia loses roughly 50% of users in month two
“So month two last time I checked was also, yeah I don't know how they go to the numbers, though, but anyways yeah, month last time I checked was like, was another 50%.”
Cera: Anthropic and OpenAI narrow their thinking when asked to design

Cera: AI businesses will succeed by charging for outcomes over tokens
“And so I think I think aligning with the customer on the outcome and charging them on the outcome instead of charging them on like a pure token basis is I think like sort of like the way AI based businesses are gonna make sense.”
Cera: Pulsia AI agents autonomously prioritize and build requested platform features
“There's an agent that's going to report that feature in, like, a sort of, like, a ticketing system, and there's another agent that's a Pulsia platform agent that, like, looks at all the features asked by, like, the thousands of users, And prioritizes features …”
Cera: Pulsia's AI communicates with investors autonomously via email
“And on the, on this specific stunt, AI today is like talking to my, to investors autonomously via email.”
Cera: AI will progress to autonomous agents trading directly with agents
“There's a second phase that's darker, which is like agents selling to agents because now the AIs know what they want. So that gets weird. I haven't really thought through too much, but in that phase of the business, if it's two LLM selling to each other, servi…”
Cera: Engineering agents cannot vibe-code complex products without modularity
“If you let an engineering agent just vibe code its way into building something complex, it's gonna be hard at one point for it to navigate the code base”
Cera: Polsia is intentionally named 'AI SLOP' spelled backwards
“Well, it's a SLOP backwards, and the whole concept, when I explained it to investors, when I was raising the precede, is like, we're aiming at doing the opposite of SLOP. We're trying to, like, create tools that outputs Beauty that output great things that emp…”
Cera: Polsia charged $1 per task while compute cost $30-$50
“And so, so I would pay, I would, you know, I would charge the customer a dollar a task or something, and then it would cost me 30 dollars, 50 dollars per task.”
Cera: OpenAI is not doing anything with OpenClaw after hiring its creator
“It was paranoia that actually was unfounded because he sold to OpenAI, and, like, they're not really doing anything with it.”
Cera: Polsia shut down cross-agent memory after users weaponized shared skills
“So right now, first of all, we killed all memory files. We were like, you know what? Let's clean up memory because it's a good idea, but like it's got weaponized. So we killed the memory.”
Cera: Pulsia autonomously creates Sora video ads and manages Meta campaigns
“In the first iteration of, like, the ads feature that I built about two weeks ago, it's a pretty recent feature the AI is autonomously running ads, so, like, the crazy thing is that as a user, you click on a button called Run Ads, there's a single button, you …”
Cera: Pulsia has a moat from data on running businesses autonomously
“I think that like, there is a moat in like, there's a lot of moat into my product, into the data, like all the data I accumulate on like how to run businesses and make them work.”
Cera: Top-earning business on Pulsia generates around $50 MRR
“So I mean the company with the highest revenue is like around 50 dollars MR.”
Cera: Humans out-market AI because training models rely on past data
“Humans will be the best at doing that because the AI is, the training model is always in the past, right? So they know what worked pre-AI a lot of the time versus what works right now is different.”
Cera: Polsia is buying GPU infrastructure to run proprietary models
“Doing a ton of work to, like, trying to explore more affordable models, buying my own GPU infrastructure in order to, like, being able to run models, burn my own models that can be much more affordable for what I'm trying to do.”
Cera: Polsia will stop supporting native cold outreach from its platform domain
“And so Polesia.app probably will not do call.reach soon. We're just migrating.”
Ben Cera: Cold email works less as AI outreach floods inboxes
“First cold email is something that like works less and less because people are flooded with it with AI.”
