090 — Thirty Days, Six Minutes

No breaking AI news today -- instead, a look back at September. The real numbers: 53 countries reached, a country-by-country breakdown, an 87-91% completion rate (proof this was never a content problem, just a discovery one), and an honest number too -- only 15% of YouTube viewers stayed past the first 30 seconds on the best-performing episode, which is exactly what October's thumbnail and format experiments are trying to fix. Plus, a recap of the month's standout moments -- a listener shoutout, a personal close call, a friend's two hard questions about AI, and the news throughline that connected four straight episodes -- and everything cooked in the kitchen this September,one country at a time. — THIS MONTH'S TOOLS —Gemini AI Mode (Ep086) · PixVerse R2 (Ep087) · Okara (Ep088) · Lofi Cities (Ep089) — full links in each episode's own show notes. — THIS MONTH'S MENU —Chhatu Besara (Odisha, Ep086) · Goan Bebinca (Ep087) · Turkish Dolmas (Ep088) · Hainanese Chicken Rice (Singapore, Ep089) — full recipes in each episode's own show notes. — TODAY'S POEM —“Fifty-Three Countries, One Room” — an original poem written by Linu Conil for this episode of Six Minutes of Silence. 📚 Linu's books:📖 Fifty Rooms of Silence — published by Romanson, endorsed by Dr. Shashi Tharoor.https://www.amazon.in/Fifty-Rooms-Silence-Linu-Conil/dp/9348314556📖 100 Best Prompts for Claude AI —https://www.amazon.in/100-BEST-PROMPTS-CLAUDE-Marketing-ebook/dp/B0H4HRKP3B📖 AI & Automation Guide for Normal People —https://www.amazon.in/AUTOMATION-GUIDE-NORMAL-PEOPLE-Intelligence-ebook/dp/B0H6X9ZCPR —Six Minutes of Silence is hosted by Linu Conil and produced by The Bandrum Circuit in Trivandrum, Kerala.
