AI’s Opportunity Hiding in Plain Sight

Why This Video Matters

At first glance, it looks like a simple scene: a droplet of water falls into a pond, ripples expand, sunlight scatters across the surface.

But here’s the twist — none of it was filmed.
This was generated by Google’s Veo Fast preview in seconds.

And what makes it stand out isn’t just aesthetics. It’s precision:

• The droplet follows fluid dynamics.

• The ripple spreads naturally, like in physics labs.

• Light refraction and scattering behave just as they would in reality.

This is more than a visual trick. It’s a signal of where AI is going.

Why Most People Miss It

So if AI can already simulate nature with this much accuracy, why isn’t everyone talking about it?

1. The AI Effect
When AI works well, it stops feeling like AI. It just becomes invisible background tech. As Patrick Winston put it:

“AI has become more important as it has become less conspicuous.”

2. Focus on Tools Instead of Shifts
People obsess over which tool to pick, rather than how AI is restructuring entire industries. That’s like debating which web browser to use in 1996 instead of realizing the internet itself was the revolution.

3. Hype vs. Reality
The media often talks about “AGI” or far-off risks while ignoring the very real, very practical ways AI is transforming how we learn, create, and make decisions right now.

What Experts Are Saying

• Geoffrey Hinton (the “Godfather of AI”):

  “I underestimated how fast AI would advance.”

• Andrew Ng (Google Brain co-founder):

  “AGI is overrated. The real gains come from mastering today’s AI.”

• Margaret Mitchell (Chief Ethics Scientist, Hugging Face):

  “Chasing AGI is just vibes and snake oil. We need practical, people-first AI.”

Together, these perspectives highlight a truth: the opportunity isn’t hidden, but most people aren’t looking in the right place.

The Real Opportunity: Learning & Due Diligence

Here’s what changes everything:
✔️ You no longer need a tech background.
✔️ You can now do your own due diligence with AI, breaking down complex data, contracts, markets, or science in plain language.
✔️ You can learn faster, in your own learning style. Visual, auditory, step-by-step, simplified — AI adapts to you.

That means whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or student, you can close knowledge gaps in hours instead of months. Faster learning = competitive advantage.

The Ripple Before the Wave

The Veo video isn’t just water. It’s a metaphor.

A ripple starts small, almost unnoticeable. But if you look closely, it carries force, motion, and momentum. Ignore it, and soon you’re swept by the wave.

That’s where we are with AI today.

At PlainSight FYI, my mission is to help people stop chasing hype and start seeing what’s right in front of them — the opportunities hidden in plain sight.

Final Takeaway

AI isn’t just about tools. It’s about clarity, speed, and exponential opportunity.
If you can see the ripple, you can catch the wave.

💧 Don’t miss what’s in plain sight.
