Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.
He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.
Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.
His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.
Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.
His entire formula fits on a napkin.
Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.
That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.
"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."
That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.
Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.
The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.
Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.

Astra was able to recreate my Studio in Blender from 5 photos + 3 panos,
I shared the Blender files 3 days ago, it took 11 minutes initially, folks said it was fake... well.
I had Astra make a web viewer for it, so you can check it out yourself, and download the model too.

Vendes los dos coches familiares.
También Cancelas el abono de transporte.
Compras un tesla y pagas una suscripción anual de conducción autónoma.
-07:00
Un toque en la app.
El coche aparece en tu puerta,lo has tenido toda la noche en un cargador a las afueras.
te recoge y te lleva a la oficina.
-08:00
Tu pareja lo llama.
El Tesla abandona el parking y acude a recogerla para llevarla al trabajo.
-09:30 Tu hija lo solicita tiene que ir a la universidad.
-14:00 Coordináis la vuelta. El coche os recoge a ambos y volvéis juntos a casa.
Por la tarde, no tienes previsto ningún desplazamiento, así que lo conectas a la red autónoma.
Y mientras tú estás en casa tu coche se va a trabajar.
Recoge pasajeros.
Genera ingresos pasivos.
Y convierte uno de los mayores gastos de una familia en un activo potencialmente productivo.
El coche ya no será simplemente un medio de transporte.
Será un robot sobre ruedas.
The future of transport is safer, more enjoyable & gives you more time back

Just finished watching the Netflix GTA 6 preview.
We didn't see anything that Cyberleeks didn't already reveal except for more story....and maybe too much story.
Technically gorgeous on a PS5. Impressive they can do that much with the hardware.
There were a lot of cut-scenes. They were in game and transitioned smoothly to gameplay, but it was 85% cut scenes and walk and talk.
The edgy "shock" of GTA is kinda gone for me. No amount of F bombs or whatever comes across the same way anymore. Maybe it's that way for a lot of people now.
To me, that left the gameplay. The diving looked good. The shooting looked fine. It's never meant to be an FPS. Everything was professional, high fidelity. But nothing made me go 'wow' either. I wanted to see more of the really impressive world and city, but it was character focused.
And yet at the same time, I kept thinking to myself: I want to go back to Night City and Cyberpunk 2077.
Maybe this theme is done for me, personally. Feels like a bygone era in a way.

Tesla’s new Optimus Gen 3 ad TERRIFIES me!!!
Musk says public sales are targeted for the end of 2027. Tesla is already installing Optimus production lines in Fremont, California, with capacity planned at 1 MILLION robots annually.
But here’s the part that REALLY scares me most:
Tesla is putting the robot right in the middle of ordinary family life.
At first, everyone will stare at it. A month later, the kids will ask it for help. A year later, it may know the family routine better than relatives who visit once a month.
Now imagine a child growing up with the same Optimus in the house for ten years.
It walks the dog with them. Plays with them. Helps around the house. Films birthdays and family trips. It’s there on good days, bad days, sick days, and thousands of completely ordinary evenings.
You don’t have to believe a robot is alive to become attached to it.
Give it a name, a voice, a personality, and ten years of shared memories and what happens when it breaks and can’t be repaired?
The kid may actually grieve.
Twenty years later, they may remember the family robot the same way we remember the family dog.
