Part 2/12:
Shapiro begins by sharing his recent activities, notably meeting with his startup team in California. An important milestone for his project is the startup's acceptance into NVIDIA's Inception program, a prestigious accelerator for AI startups. He also mentions efforts to crowdfund future developments through platforms like Weave Fund, emphasizing that the current project is still in an experimental phase and not soliciting investments.
He highlights his Patreon nearing a $2,500 monthly goal out of a $5,000 target; reaching this threshold would allow him to discontinue ads on his content, aligning with his preference for an ad-free viewer experience.
