He Made $1.8 Billion With 800 Fake Doctors. I Think the FTC Is Coming.
π΄ WATCH THE FULL SECRETS OF PROPAGANDA:
The New York Times just profiled a guy who built a $1.8 billion company with AI β two employees, $20K, and a house in LA. Sam Altman wanted to meet him. The internet called him a visionary. There's just one problem: he did it with 800+ fake doctor profiles on Facebook, AI-generated before-and-after photos of patients who don't exist, and drugs the FDA had already warned him about six weeks before the article came out. The NYT didn't mention any of it. In this episode, I decode the propaganda technique behind it β the same "manufactured authority" trick Edward Bernays invented in the 1920s when he got real doctors to endorse cigarettes. Except Bernays at least used real doctors. This guy used AI to create 800 fake ones. Then I show you how to build REAL authority in your business without getting shut down by the FTC.
