PNG / 3D animation — me at the bar. Drinking, partying. Having a great time. For twenty years.
It lasted about twenty years.
PNG / 3D animation — asleep. Calendar pages flying: the internet happens, the iPhone happens, the years keep going…
While I was out, they built the internet, the phone, and then… something else entirely.
PNG / 3D animation — the wake-up. Eyes open. The look.
No disaster, no rebuild arc. A decision — awake, clear, and busy. Righto.
PNG / 3D animation — the discovery. The glow of the screen on his face.
The one time in history a bloke can sleep through twenty years and catch the whole field at the start line. Time to learn.
Earned with my AI skills, in the open — that's the claim I want to be TRUE. A hundred thousand of you feet-first at ten bucks, or a million tight-arses at a dollar — any mix, I don't care which road. Every dollar ticks the board, and the costs get published right beside it.
"Don't skip the story. Trust me — it explains everything, including the number at the end."

Lesson L01 · What is a model, actually?
Type your name — or say it. Your lessons get built with your name on them. Literally.
◉ VOICE INPUT — placeholder, wire at buildTalk, don't type if you don't want to. Tell me what the fuck you want to learn and WHY — so your session gets tailored to you, not the crowd.
◉ VOICE-TO-TEXT — placeholder, wire at buildThis lesson plus the other nine — the AI Foundation Ten, owned for life. It's called StepTen; you buy ten. (Tight-arse with USDC? Your lane's coming.)
GET THE FOUNDATION TEN — $10 · SANDBOX CHECKOUTReal Stripe sandbox — test card 4242 4242 4242 4242 · rotates to live at launch
Finish the sandbox payment in the new tab and the mission board ticks. Now — what level are you really?
Mock complete — the lesson room gets built next
The AI Foundation Ten · feet first, not toe-dip · more foundations later
Ten lessons, ten dollars, feet first. Each one: the bullets you actually need, a research document to run with, and the exact prompts to paste into your own AI to kick off your learning. The point of the ten isn't just the lessons — it's building the HABIT of how to learn this stuff. This is maybe 1% of the AI videos coming; small business and the rest of StepTen get their own foundations later.
The two boards · one mission, one joke
The mission board
$000,137
of $1,000,000 — verified, earned with AI · 100k feet-first or 1M tight-arses, any mix · costs published beside it · demo
people helped so far: 137 — every buyer, every door
The tight-arse fund

of $1,000,000 in cryptocurrency · one stubborn dollar at a time · the joke survives here
Where the money goes · the honest bit, told funny
Placeholder copy — Stephen writes the real version: not spending it on a boat; funding more builds, helping people build their own things, and slowly raising enough for the idiots to take over — because the smart people have had long enough and look how that's going. (The crypto line stays as a joke. It IS a joke. Probably.)
Why this exists · the manifesto · draft placeholders, Stephen's voice to pour in
The smartest models are being gated. The top-shelf stuff goes to approved companies and the rich get first access — the general public gets the lite version. This page teaches you to use what you CAN get, properly, for good — and to be on the right side of it.
No prompt-and-pray. AI is steering real things now. The public learning to drive it properly isn't a nice-to-have, it's the whole game.
The future belongs to the trades. The electrician, the truckie, the builder — your skills are the ones AI can't replace, and AI becomes your operating system. These lessons show you how to monetise what you already know and take your patch online.
Learn the lessons. Keep your wisdom. Get the machine. Born before 2000, this is ours to win.
