Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q Can you give me a timeline of how you get into coding, how you get into indie hacking?
A I was a big fan of RuneScape when I was a kid. Like, giant RuneScape head. And I remember when I was coming out of college, I started looking at RuneScape again, and I was like, Now I'm a bit older. I'm a bit more mature. I don't want to spend 13 hours a day playing RuneScape anymore, and I kind of like the idea of coding. I, I know that's something, it's an important skill, so I'm like, let me figure out how to make a bot to do some gold farming in RuneScape. I started Harvard's, like, CS, 50 class, watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials, started building for my, for myself. Like, so, for example, I built a website for myself, and I built, like, a blackjack game. Took a few years to, you know, learn how to code, that kind of thing, and built stealth GPT.

Q Alright, let's talk about failure for a second. So, I know that in your journey, you had something that kind of really set you back. Can you tell me a little bit more about that?
A I was 23 years old. I started my first company, J Squared Invest. And I started because I was getting involved with, like, crypto and stuff like that. I saw there was, like, a huge market need for people who didn't understand how to get into Bitcoin or Ethereum. They didn't know what Coinbase was. They didn't know how to open up a wallet. So, I just saw an opportunity like any other entrepreneur. I'm an entrepreneur. I had no money. So I brought, I made, I got a loan from my father, got the lawyers, got the company ready, all that kind of stuff. And we just started taking in clients. 20 17 markets were great, very bullish. Everything went to the moon until 2018 came around and, um, pretty much I lost all my money. Um, I had a lot of money in the crypto markets. Of course the company got rinsed. And then a few months later, I get hit with this email out of nowhere from the CFTC. I guess there was like some like accusations of like, oh, I Took client money or stuff like that. Every time I got an email from these people, it was like, It was devastating. It was devastating to get an email from them, but it was also devastating every day thinking like, are they going to do something today? Are they going to email me today? Are they going to who knows what? Cause you're at their full mercy. You're at the full mercy of the government. Um, at that point and you got really nothing. We l…

Q So you got this product, it's pretty much validated, and now you're trying to scale it. How do you actually scale a business like this?
A Yeah. We kind of went at it with like a UCG type strategy on like TikTok and Instagram talking about like the service and just kind of letting people know at that point it was like market education because something like this has never existed before. We needed to tell people like, Hey, what is StealthGPT? What does it do? Just kind of intrigued them into it. So a lot of focus on just explaining what the product is and why people need a product like StealthGPT. When we got past the summer, We started leaning a lot into Google ads and really investigating Google ads and just found a tremendous amount of success through that channel. They were converting like insanely low cost per conversion, 10 dollars, 15 dollars, 20 dollars in the early days, and that allowed us to scale a ton. So we would get a lot of money in and then we just pour more into Google ads and it was just like putting gasoline on a fire just kind of kept going and going and going.

Q Yeah. Coming off that, how do you find this idea for StealthGPT? How do you come up with the idea?
A Twenty-twenty-two rolls around, and ChatGPT is like a thing, and I was like, okay, this is gonna dominate online content. People are gonna produce all this content with AI, and they're gonna put it online. Naturally, there's gonna be some kind of pushback. There's gonna be people who care. Is the content that I'm reading right now human or is it AI? And TikTok, because it, I guess, spies on the neural nets of your brain or something like that, just knew I was thinking about this and served me up a video in my timeline. It's like, hey, there's this AI detector called GPT-zero. They're able to scan with like a 99% accuracy. Is this content AI generate or not? So I started going to work just Reverse engineering it, really trying to figure out can I consistently beat this AI detector and keep making it say that this is human generated. After a few days of like trialing it, I cracked it. Like eventually it just, every single response I was thrown through the AI detector was coming up human. And I was like, okay, we got something here. And so around January is like when I first had the idea for stealth GPT after seeing that TikTok video. And then in February I bought the domain stealthgpt.ai for 75 bucks a year, and they make you buy two years minimum, so it's a 150 dollars. By March, we had our first, ah, real website with Next.js and React live, and we got our first customers in Ma…
