  There are two primary bottlenecks to today's AI. And solving these bottlenecks is where the money is right now. A) DATA - the big models have ALL the data already. All the texts, videos, reddit posts, tweets, etc. How can they get more data? Other than the natural daily creation of new data the biggest repository of UNUSED data is behind the corporate firewall. Whoever can unlock the data behind the firewall will create a model bigger than anything OpenAI can do. The key is this: corporate data does not want to be free (competition reasons or even legal reasons in the case of healthcare) So the method has is decentralized learning techniques where AI trains locally inside the firewall, and then shares its weights (but not the data that created those weights) to an AI model that stitches this together. This is where $TAO is the best in the world and at a $2.5B value is cheap. B) CONNECTIVITY = POWER. Everyone is complaining about power. But people don't realize that the power problem is really a connectivity problem. 100,000 GPUs in a data center means a million or more copper / electricity interconnects connecting them all. Change that from electricity to MicroLEDs and you wll use 1/30 of the power. Problem solved. Who is doing this? $MRVL $ALAB $FABC $KOPN

  @Ochadoji999 The process of online fragmentation is a long-standing problem. We used to have Usenet as the big conversational space and individual IRC channels on some of the larger servers as the ephemeral chat places, and it worked pretty well. Quite frankly, you can run an IRC server on a potato. They can talk to one another in a sort of federated mesh if you want. We had that technology figured out and nailed down. But then came the introduction of walled garden solutions. At least AIM and ICQ used open protocols so other people could make clients that interfaced with them, and you could still talk to your friends using them no matter what client you used. Then came Facebook and Myspace and the wave of early "social media" platforms, which slowly and surely began choking off access to general cross-system information. Reddit, for quite a long time, was a very big anomaly because as long as you spoke its API, it didn't care. Which is why so much of Reddit data made it into training information for various systems. Then Discord servers became very much the norm, which combined even more fragmentary, isolated groups into their own server silo, but within the same platform ecosystem. It was and remains great technology, but the way that it has affected the culture of online communities is somewhat of a problem in my view. It creates a feeling for and desire for insularity. Plus, it focuses on ephemeral conversation rather than long-term stored communication like you find on forums and Usenet and various other places where people have more nuanced conversations. If you think all your ideas deserve to have the lifespan of a mayfly, then I guess it's great, but I don't like it very much. In fairness, there never was a VTuber community. That's the wrong word to use for it. There was a "people who did VTubing and the people who were into watching VTubing." Those people didn't necessarily have many things in common, and they still don't. It is an identity group and not a community. Which sums up so much of what's wrong with it as a whole.

  @SlumDawg21 @theo no, there is no source, they did it quietly. but if you search online you will see no new bans, and people on reddit saying they are un banned after they appealed, some say they remained banned on antigravity only (google account safe) personally and know people who have been using for months with no issue.

  I have a habit of browsing the internet immediately after sending a prompt in Cursor. My brain doesn't want to context switch to work on a different part of the code. It wants to ensure the code I'm currently working on is complete before I move on to something else. But I also don't want to sit there and wait for the agent to finish working. That's too boring. So the easy thing is to open X, email, or reddit. Herein lies the problem. My goal is to replace this habit with - move around the room and stretch - go outside Any other ideas?

  @PrimeTopNews The Legendary Story: Tom Hanks is sitting at a diner in North Dakota having a beer. A few tables over, some kid is face-down, completely passed out. Hanks walks over to check if he’s okay, sees the guy’s phone sitting on the table, and can’t resist. He has the bartender snap a few photos of himself with the unconscious stranger — one where he’s looking concerned, one where he’s pointing and laughing like he just found treasure — then slips the phone back into the kid’s pocket and leaves. The next morning the guy wakes up, scrolls his camera roll, and finds Tom Hanks photobombing his hangover.  That’s the story that spread on Facebook, Imgur, and Reddit with captions like “Can you imagine finding these on your phone after a drunken night out?” What actually happened A fan ran into Hanks at a diner in West Fargo (Hanks’ niece worked there). The fan’s thing was posing with celebrities while pretending to be wasted. He asked Hanks if they could do it. Hanks said yes, handed over his glasses, and played along while a friend took the pictures. The original Reddit title was literally: “My friend met Tom Hanks, stole his glasses and pretended to be wasted.”  Hanks’ favorite version When a reporter asked him about it in 2013, Hanks gave both stories and then said he preferred the legend: “Well now, that second version is that I did just start taking pictures with a passed-out guy. I’m happy with this version, that it’s become somewhat of a legend. I wouldn’t want anyone not to believe that I am capable of turning up on their phones.” So the photos are real, Hanks really posed with a guy who looks dead-drunk at a diner, and he really used the guy’s phone. He just didn’t do it to a random unconscious stranger. The internet decided the better story was the one where Forrest Gump finds you passed out and photobombs your phone, and Hanks was happy to let that one live. @grok

  Yesterday I had a really interesting call with a potential client. They run 3 brands in completely different verticals, but all three use basically the same business model. And they have the same problem: Reddit absolutely hates them. Search any of their brand names + Reddit and you’ll find thread after thread about: -Refunds people couldn’t get -Products looking nothing like the ads -Poor quality -Bad customer support It’s gotten so bad that they’re potentially losing millions across the 3 brands because people do their due diligence before buying, find these threads, and walk away. But here’s where it gets even more interesting. That reputation isn’t staying on Reddit anymore. Ask an LLM whether one of these brands is legit or worth buying from, and many of those same complaints become part of the answer. Of course, they wanted help fixing their Reddit presence. I told them I can help, but only AFTER they fix the underlying problems. I can build a branded account, create and grow a subreddit, monitor mentions, participate in relevant communities, and respond to complaints. But none of that matters if the product is still bad and customers still can’t get refunds. You can’t Reddit-market your way out of a broken product. If they fix those problems, though, Reddit becomes an opportunity. Their official account can go back to old complaint threads and say: “We heard you. X, Y and Z have been fixed. If you’re still having an issue, DM us and we’ll help.” That’s infinitely more powerful than trying to bury negative threads with manufactured positivity. If Reddit sentiment around your brand is terrible, don’t start with Reddit marketing. Fix the reason Reddit hates you first. Then show up and prove that you listened. PS. The image is just an example. Now imagine your brand name appearing over and over in communities like this.

  fable 5.1 is insanely CRACKED at finding winning google ads angles to scale your brand past $1m/mo research capacities literally DOUBLED so here's every prompt you'll need to reverse-engineer competitors' funnels and rip some banger gads: (actually run them all rn, don't just bookmark) 1. load the brain before you ask it anything the research is only as sharp as the context. upload: - pdps - reviews - website - funnel pages - competitors - report CSVs - brand docs - ICP info - winners - losers literally everything then run this: "act as the angle research lead for this brand. read everything uploaded and build a working profile: ICP segments ranked by revenue, the pain points in the customer's own words, the objections ordered by how often they appear, the proof we already own, and the beliefs a buyer must hold before purchasing. do not propose angles yet. summarise what you found, then tell me what context is MISSING" that last instruction is the whole game. prompt engineering is cope just have claude tell you what he needs from you and give it to him. anybody who disagrees just loves to overcomplicate things. 2. mine untapped databases that semrush misses prompt: "search reddit threads, quora answers, amazon reviews and Q&A sections, youtube comments on competitor and category videos, tiktok comments, trustpilot, and niche forums for people discussing [PROBLEM CATEGORY]. extract VERBATIM language, never paraphrase. for each goldmine you find, give me this: the quote, the pain underneath it, what they already tried, why it failed them, the outcome they want, and the emotional state behind it" paraphrasing is how angles end up sounding like ai slop. the whole value is in knowing your ICP's EXACT words and repeating them on ads. 3. reverse engineer every competitor funnel end to end "research [COMPETITOR 1, 2, 3]. use google ads transparency center, meta ad library, their landing pages, checkout flow and email capture. for each: every live ad and where it routes, the landing page TYPE, the hero promise, the mechanism they claim, the proof they lead with, the objections handled and in what order, the offer and guarantee, and what they are NOT saying" then: "for each competitor page, tell me which awareness level it was built for. then identify which of their traffic is landing on the wrong page type" this is how you find gaps in your competitors strategies that you can capitalize on 4. diagnose market sophistication BEFORE choosing an angle this is the step 9 out of 10 brands skip and it decides whether your angle has any chance: "assess the market sophistication level for [CATEGORY] using schwartz's 5 stages. analyse competitor ads and landing pages as evidence. stage 1 means nobody has made the claim yet. stage 2 means claims are escalating. stage 3 means mechanism differentiation has started. stage 4 means mechanisms are competing. stage 5 means the market is exhausted and identification wins. tell me which stage we're in, the evidence, and what type of angle still works at this stage" if your category is at stage 4, a bigger promise does nothing. every competitor already made one. if you're operating in stage 5, the mechanism is exhausted too, and the strategy has to shift again your ad is only good if it resonates with the market it operates in 5. score every angle against awareness and funnel stage "from the research, generate 15 google ad angles for my brand. for each: the awareness level it serves, the funnel stage it belongs in, the sophistication stage it's valid at, whether it's validated by competitors or white space, the proof required to run it, and the funnel type it should be tested through. rank by expected impact and flag any we lack proof to support" an angle without proof is a claim. claude will rank those last 6. map the keywords to the angles, not the products "build the keyword universe for [BRAND] using the customer language and competitor research. split into branded, competitor, problem-aware symptom queries, solution-aware category queries, comparison, use-case, and occasion. tag each with awareness level, the angle it pairs with, the funnel type it routes to, and the campaign that should own it" this will make everything nice and organized 7. turn the research into the campaign plan "turn everything above into a 30-day google ads launch plan for this specific brand, its AOV, margin structure and market sophistication stage. for each campaign, give me: the angle it carries, the keyword cluster, the landing page type, the creative direction, and the signal that decides whether it scales, holds, or gets cut. separate must-launch from phase 2 tests" then: "tell me which 3 angles to test first and why, given our sophistication stage and the proof we currently own" and that's literally it your competitors are testing angles with fat budgets while you analyze it all, learn from their mistakes, and (ethically) rip their winners with a unique twist and if you want me to audit your brand's google ads angles using this system and show you how we'd capitalize on the winning ones... DM me "OPP"

  @GorgoKnight Looks like a common issue that’s happened to a bunch of folks over the past two weeks. Can’t pinpoint a fix, and without connecting to see the whole setup, there’s a lot of unknowns. A Reddit user shared this, try this, then reboot the computer after before trying the game again.

  All Indian discourse is a mimicry of American discourse from 10-15 years ago. This means we are now in the era of cringe Reddit adolescent atheism, which is basically people in their 20s projecting their issues against their parents through the internet. But since this is India, there will be no original thought, only mimicry. We even mimic the cringe. We can expect an Indian version of the Aalewis Reddit from an Indian "professional quote maker" sometime soon

  That retatrutide vial in your fridge is now an exhibit in a federal lawsuit. Lilly sued six online sellers in August. Not for patents. For what they told customers: "research only" next to a dosing chart, "same as the real thing," "safe." Their lawyers used Reddit posts describing side effects as evidence. Three sellers took their pages down the same day.

  If you’re spending budget on GEO right now, this test may save you from putting it into the wrong channel. Today, my client gave us around 500 queries their in-house team was tracking, saying that they want to do Reddit. We narrowed them down to 50 representative ones and ran each 10 times, roughly 500 real ChatGPT responses in total. In this sample, Reddit appeared as a referenced source only 4.8% of the time, with zero direct Reddit citations. At the same time, we started seeing YouTube show up much more often for this AI category. And this is exactly why, for the clients we already work with, we don’t treat distribution as a fixed strategy. Also, e didn’t wait for the Reddit citation drop to become a GEO headline. Our daily monitoring was already showing the shift. Around August 5, we started noticing changes in how ChatGPT was retrieving sources across real user responses. We adjusted the client’s distribution strategy before the broader data came out. Later, public tracking made the change much clearer. ChatGPT Search’s use of site:-specific fan-out queries jumped from roughly 0.37% to 16.8% in a day, while the average number of searches per response increased from around 1.08 to 1.83. A few days later, Reddit’s tracked share of ChatGPT Search citations fell from a previous average of 3.83% to around 0.52%. By the time this became widely discussed, we had already seen the direction in our own monitoring and started moving the client’s budget. But Reddit still matters for reviews, community discussion and long-term brand presence. Before scaling content, we now look at: which domains AI is actually retrieving from which formats keep getting cited which sources are gaining or losing share how those patterns are changing week by week Then we move the budget. For visual categories, that might mean more YouTube. For another category, it might be product pages, niche publications or first-party research. The useful takeaway is simple: Build your GEO distribution plan around what the model is retrieving now. And ideally, you see the shift in your own data before everyone starts posting about it.
