ENTREPREGANDA | Season 1, Episode 71

"Continue to Exist" | The Accumulation

💪 Life hits hard. Society dictates. But YOU? You continue to exist—accumulating wins, scars, and legacy through sheer endurance.

Host Michael Stewart-Isaacs delivers an endurance-tested, legacy-building episode on surviving entrepreneurship's brutal game, AI's Pokémon puzzle, and why your accumulation of deeds defines whether you're remembered—or forgotten.

In this episode, we endure:

Rental Income Friday: The 7 Day Game Plan Advances
Day five—User-Friendly Rental Income. Michael reveals: Entrepreneurship is a game of endurance. Rental income flows to those who continue to exist—through market crashes, personal loss, and societal pressure.

"Continue to Exist":
Michael delivers survival-mode wisdom:

Life hits us all in unexpected ways. Through hardships, tough beginnings, and loss of loved ones—we must still continue to exist toward our own opportunities to value our lives.

Society tells you how to feel, how to be. My message: CONTINUE TO EXIST.

Be reasonably crazy. Be user-friendly.

Headlines: Tariffs, AI Video Breakthroughs & Pokémon as Intelligence Benchmark

Tariffs Weigh on Retail Prices:
After nearly a year of tariff costs, higher prices are the new normal. Licensing executives confirm: consumer and wholesale prices won't retreat to pre-tariff levels—some will only increase further.

AI-Generated Videos Cross the Uncanny Valley — Seadance 2.0:
ByteDance's new AI video model creates hyper-realistic videos without distortions. Examples: Lord of the Rings reimagined, war combat scenes, martial arts fights. AI video is indistinguishable from reality.

OpenAI Debuts Codex-Spark — Speedier Coding on Cerebras Chips:
GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark delivers 1,000+ tokens per second—first to run on Cerebras chips (Nvidia rival), marking a $10B+ multi-year partnership. Available now for ChatGPT Pro users.

Gemini 3 Deep Think Major Upgrade:
Google expands beyond math/coding into science, engineering, and research. Achieves gold medal-level results on 2025 International Physics and Chemistry Olympiads. Turns hand-drawn sketches into 3D-printable files. Available for Google AI Ultra subscribers.

The Accumulation:
Michael delivers legacy-defining truth:

The only thing that matters now: Results continue to exist. The accumulation of our accomplishments defines our value and ultimately our legacy.

Accumulation Defined:
The acquisition or gradual gathering of something; a mass or quantity that has gradually gathered or been acquired.

AI's Next Benchmark: Mastering Pokémon:
AI models ace bar exams and PhD-level math—but Pokémon stumps them. Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic now battle to master the classic Game Boy game.

Why Pokémon? It requires sustained planning, resource management, error recovery over hundreds of hours—the exact capability for real-world AI agents.

The competition is live on Twitch:

• Gemini 3 Pro finished Pokémon Blue in ~406 hours
• GPT 5.2 also beat the game
• Claude Opus 4.6 still working through Pokémon Red: 500+ hours, 170,000+ steps

The lesson: AI can outperform doctors, lawyers, PhD students on tests—but struggles with tasks easy for humans. Raw intelligence ≠ real-world reasoning.

What we accumulate proves we exist. But HOW you exist—the echoes of things you accumulated through consistency and deeds—is what should be remembered.

Continue to exist. Accumulate relentlessly. Build legacy.

🏆 This episode will ignite your endurance and teach you to accumulate wins that outlive you.
