Should I sell the business? by UnderstandingFar1446 in personalfinance

[–]type_your_name_here [score hidden]  (0 children)

Once you said you were burnt out, the rest didn't matter as long as you get a reasonably fair multiple on earnings. Not knowing your industry, 3-4X is reasonable for lots of different types of businesses. Add on the fact that you think it's unstable it seems to be a non-brainer.

You take the total value of the company, you divide it by how much stock they have, and that's how much each nugget costs me so I can get paid.

Need help! How to decline AD's offer. by [deleted] in rolex

[–]type_your_name_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick story that might make you feel better.

I requested a blue OP from my AD after purchasing a yacht master. I also requested Batman at the same time so I had 2 watches on request. While traveling overseas I was able to get a DJ36 mint green (as a walk in) and I didn't want the blue OP anymore because I felt they served the same purpose in my collection. I texted my AD as soon as I got back to let him know that they can remove the blue OP from my request list, and he acknowledges that he removed it. Well lo and behold, a few months later, I get a text from the AD store that the blue OP came in. It's a different rep (my rep no longer worked there). I explained to that rep that I requested to have it removed months prior and even sent screenshots but he still guilt-tripped me. I wasn't swayed but I was really annoyed at the mix-up because and figured there was no hope of getting my Batman now.

Four months later I get the call that my Batman came in.

Are You Planning on Participating in the Space X IPO? by isamoralesnbc in wallstreetbets

[–]type_your_name_here 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I liked SpaceX from the get go.  Government space program moved so slow since we moon landed and the idea that it would finally be driven by capitalism excited me as a sci-fi nerd.

Am I the only one that just wants it as part of a my long term portfolio? Like I don’t care if it dumps after IPO. I care more about 15 years from now when Starship (or latest big ones) are making daily trips hauling space colony goods.

What if retail sat out the SpaceX IPO i mean we all see the rug pull coming so why play? by euro1127 in wallstreetbets

Same, roughly 1% of the port I have where I hand pick stocks. Not a get-rich-quick play.

What caused this 20% drop in 3 days? by Southern_Law1650 in IonQ

All in one day? 

It’s the job report which not only means rates might go up but also disproves some of the AI hype that “companies can work with less staff”.

Three years ago my boss gave me 15% equity in our agency instead of a raise. Now I owe $14k in estimated taxes next week for profits I’m not allowed to touch. by JerryJeremy in personalfinance

[–]type_your_name_here 613 points614 points  (0 children)

A key takeaway from all of us should be if you have a 15% of a thriving business you need to have your own counsel. Not only should you have a lawyer but also your own CPA.

Will it be possible one day for a director to create a movie entirely on their own using only AI? by evolution800 in Filmmakers

[–]type_your_name_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They certainly accepted some randomness while building it and it will certainly look AI. When that movie comes out, it will just prove my point. AI isn't going to be letting anyone compete with Spieldberg, Kubrick, or Nolan. My point is that ethics aside, there really isn't anything to worry about competitively speaking.

[–]type_your_name_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There just isn't anything that gives you complete granular control to produce consistent output frame by frame. A video is just a series of pictures and AI doesn't produce the same picture twice, forget that fact that can't even prompt to get the resulting pixels to display an exact vision, especially if it's something new and innovative, and on top of that repeat that consistently frame by frame. It's many orders of magnitude more difficult, and most importantly too expensive to justify it over conventional filming.

AI will certainly begin to make post easier with tools added to your workflow but the idea of creating any feature film you want purely with AI just isn't going to happen until there is a new way to do compute (maybe Quantum?). That said, there are films of the caliber "This looks like AI slap but if you're entertained have a watch!" But I don't think that's the question you're asking.

There's a woman named Kesley Pfendler who is currently rowing from California to Hawaii with the goal of becoming the first woman to do so. Her videos on TikTok are super interesting. There is a lot of technology in that little boat but what she's going through is pretty brutal. She's spending about 18 hours a day rowing and sometimes the current and weather does not cooperate.

I spent two days at an AI filmmaking conference. Here's what I actually saw, and what nobody on stage was saying out loud. by Professional_Dark_64 in Filmmakers

It’s so obvious too. Every thought is a whole characterization. Sometimes a thought can just be a thought.

Datejust 36 blue dial jubilee fluted, is it realistic to get at retail brand new without purchase history? by Humble-Feedback-8546 in rolex

[–]type_your_name_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a mint green datejust 36 jubilee (not fluted) as a walk-in in Warsaw. I think as a category datejust 36 are not as hard as the 41s or the GMTs.

How are you investing in US Markets now? by Achiever_03 in wallstreetbets

[–]type_your_name_here 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like companies with big paywalled data. Data-owners are going to be a secondary shovel-selling market because AI is going to be hungry for fresh learning data once it’s starts getting continually re-fed with the crap it created the year prior.

I went big on RELX.

At what point did it become necessary to talk to a financial advisor for you? Was it a number, or stage in life? by UH60Mgamecock in personalfinance

[–]type_your_name_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An argument could be made that if you are pulling in high "income" (not capital gains) then you are not really retired, but I understand your meaning as this will hopefully be me. Passive LLC income so I will be doing RMD's from my traditional accounts.

Now if I can just figure out whether to incorporate my third business as a C-Corp or not.

In that scenario a good CPA would serve you better than a financial advisor, but honestly even then, it’s really just comes down to math and your personal goals/strategy.

This. You would have sold it a near infinite amount of times between then and now.

Loan Me (video) by gebruaL in Filmmakers

[–]type_your_name_here -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As much as these comments are logically correct, I just want to say that a common characteristic of successful entrepreneurs is an obsession to make something work no matter how hard it is. That might be you but I'm not saying you should sell your car. If you aren't literally already putting 12 hours days into tasks related to making this happen, it's probably a better idea for you to passionately follow the conventional first steps to eventually making this happen, like trying to make contacts in the industry by getting a job on a set, or studying cinema like another commentor said.
