    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?

    @iran23777 @ariaradnia "IMO Google and AI need Reddit as much as Reddit needs them" Pure delusion, they don't. Google is a $4T company, they control Reddit's destiny. Reddit gets so much traffic from search, google could cut that down 60% with a simple algo search. +Reddit is turning into AI slop service.

    fable 5.1 is insanely CRACKED at finding winning google ads angles to scale your brand past $1m/mo research skills jumped from 24.7% to 52.6% so here's every prompt you'll need to reverse-engineer competitors' funnels and rip some banger gads based on it: (actually run them all rn, don't just save this) 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"

    @Fran_Casaretto_ 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

    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

    there have been so many weird little chapters with my app lately started at $0. got my first $29 payment thought okay... we're doing this! then nothing for weeks visitors dropped signups came in but trials didn't someone literally told me they stopped because onboarding asked for a card too early so i rebuilt things then rebuilt them again landing page onboarding ui/ux performance basically everything i could convince myself was “the problem” at one point a post about my yc application randomly hit 84k views and brought in hundreds of followers and then my next posts went back to being... well, my next posts 😭 reddit got banned too cancelled claude because i knew i was spending too much time building then somehow burned another $20 on ai credits fixing onboarding again and honestly, there were days where i felt like i had absolutely no idea what i was doing especially seeing other founders move so fast while mailient barely moved but that's also when something changed i stopped thinking about how to make mailient look successful and started thinking about how to actually make it work one customer one problem one clear promise one real reason to come back still at $29 still going for $200 mrr still a long way to go but i'm still here building it. DON'T U EVER GIVE UP!

    🔪 American McGee 🖤 (@americanmcgee) reported

    I find the timing of this interaction more than a little odd given that I recently reached out to the creator of the video in question to discuss the way in which it drives hate and misunderstanding. And I let them know that I was pondering the creation of a response video. But that I first wanted to give them a chance to discuss everything. They've since gone silent. And now this? So, the video isn't great. 250k views and it's stirred up a LOT of misunderstanding. But to be fair, the first three and a half minutes are fine. Our founding, the crowd design process, the monthly charitable donations. All of that is presented reasonably. Then we get to 3:30. That’s where the thesis arrives: “As Plushie Dreadfuls began to grow, controversy began to follow them as years passed by.” And from that point until about 9:45, it is one long, uninterrupted prosecution. No counter-points. No company response. No real attempt to explain the other side of anything. Then we get thirty warm seconds at the end about our scoliosis rabbit, which I guess is supposed to make the whole thing feel balanced? But the bookends are not the issue. The middle six minutes are. Look at where the material actually comes from. Essentially all of it traces back to one hostile subreddit and one TikTok rant that runs for about seventy seconds without any response from us at all. That is what viewers are given as an “overview” of our business. That’s not an honest overview. That’s reading our loudest critics into the record and calling it "research." Nowhere in the video does it mention that we have a 4.9 rating on Trustpilot across more than a thousand reviews. Reviews we cannot edit, remove, or filter. You would think that might be relevant when repeating the claim that we have “a really bad track record with customer service.” It takes one search to find that rating. One search. But if you do that search, maybe you can’t frame the story the same way. And the omissions are not small. With the refund story, the customer was offered three options: a full and fast refund if the damaged plush was destroyed, a smaller refund if they kept it, or a complete replacement if they sent it back. Three options. The Reddit thread focused on one because that made the story sound worse, and the video simply repeated that framing. The other two options? Never mentioned. On ABA, the organization we partnered with for the OG ASD Rabbit was specifically geared toward modern techniques designed to avoid the practices that made older ABA harmful. You can still have a conversation about ABA, obviously. But the video presents it as one uniformly abusive thing and treats our partnership as knowing complicity. Context disappears. Outrage remains. Out of that we have people claiming we "supported electrocuting kids" - literal quote. No joke. Then there’s the Discord claim. Again. It never ends. The video states as flat fact, in the creator’s own voice, that I went onto our Discord server “saying that being pan was a phase.” What it does not mention is my VERY NEXT response, where I made clear I was talking about a phase of interest on TikTok. Or the actual context of the conversation, which was about sales trends and redesigns. All that info is in the screenshots. All of it ignored. That context matters. It changes the meaning completely. But including it would make the claim much less useful. I guess it would make the video less watchable? 250k views makes this their most popular video ever. Imagine that! We also get the assertion that I have “a habit of responding in unprofessional ways to criticism.” Okay. Where is the evidence for that in the video? There isn’t any. The claim is just made. And, of course, there is no mention that many of my responses happen in the context of nonstop personal attacks. Apparently that part doesn’t matter either. Is what I am writing here "unprofessional?" I've noticed there are a lot of people out there who essentially consider facts to be unprofessional. Good luck with that. And here’s the thing that really gets me about these videos: at no point did the creator contact me, my wife, or anyone on our team. Not once. Every one of these misrepresentations could have been cleared up with a single message. I know that because when I finally reached out myself, I got a reply within hours. They were reachable the entire time. Nobody tried. And the video creator follows me here on X. That means they have watched over a year of the fallout from all of this. And done nothing in response. I often say that the attacks and behaviors that flow from these incidents are 1000x worse than the incidents themselves. This is a perfect example of that. When I raised all of this, I was told the creator had maintained a neutral stance throughout, and that they had made sure to state the Discord comment had nothing to do with hate toward any group. Great. Except neither of those things is in the video. There is no such statement anywhere in it. And the narration does NOT maintain some careful neutral stance; it repeatedly delivers conclusions in the creator’s own voice. Maybe that’s carelessness. Maybe it’s something worse. Either way, the result is the same. A video that its own creator apparently cannot accurately describe is now being used as a primary source for people calling me a bigot, accusing us of hiding AI use, and worse. And my team absorbs that every day. I absorb it every day. If the video had been made in good faith, one message would have fixed this. If facts were the priority, the Trustpilot rating, the full refund options, the ABA context, and my next Discord response would all be in there. But they aren’t. And I think we all know why. Pretty sure I am going to record a full-length response to this and post it across my socials... but I guess I'll give the video creator a little longer to respond before I do. It's more grace and understanding than they are the haters they inspire ever gave us. Sure that will be ignored too 🤷

    If I had to get my first 100 customers from scratch, here’s exactly what I’d do: 1. Cold emails Send 20 highly targeted emails. Lead with a specific outcome, not your product. No replies? Change the email and try again. Keep iterating until you get responses. 2. Social media DMs Find prospects on LinkedIn, X, IG, FB, Reddit, etc. Send a 15-second personalized Loom audit. Make the preview obviously about them. Give value before asking for anything. 3. Affiliate programs Find people who already have your target audience. Offer a commission worth promoting. Make joining and sharing effortless. Tools like @partnacdotcom let you launch and manage the whole program in one place. 4. Partnerships Find complementary businesses serving your ICP. Create a simple referral deal. Give them a reason to send customers your way. Start with 10 good partners, not 1,000 random ones. 5. Communities Find where your ICP already hangs out. Answer questions and solve problems. Don’t drop links everywhere. Become the person people remember when they need the solution.

    Something has happened in the trenches. We are seeing the emergence of a new meta that, to me, has always been obvious. If you troll my old Reddit posts, you will see me talking about this. I have always been adamant about one thing when it comes to memecoins... they need more than a meme. Bored Ape Yacht Club were pioneers here because they took an otherwise pretty useless meme and turned it into a social phenomenon. They achieved this by adding exclusive perks for holders, different levels, and more. The lesson learned here? Utility is required for any meme to survive long term or grow further. That utility can look like what BAYC did... Or it can look like something else. How many memecoins have you ever held? Were you glued to the charts, hoping it wouldn't nuke, with your finger on the sell trigger? This is psychologically draining. It's also dying as a meta. Enter MemeFi. The very thing I have been talking about for so long. I'm not the only one who sees this now. It started with Stonkbrokers piercing the veil and really setting it off. People started to realize memes could be more. They could be productive, and they could earn. Once you see this in one place, you start to realize where this is not happening... which is almost every OG meme in the space. Okay, cool, but SB was built from first principles by a builder who was deeply entrenched. They can't all be the same caliber, right? This may be true, because building DeFi is hard. But what if there were a way to make memecoins useful without needing to build massive rewards incentives internally? What if you could also tie it into the growing MEME/Stock pair meta? This is one of the things STATICS is trying to accomplish. You may have heard about our basket tokens and how, when created, Uniswap v4 pools are deployed pairing the Basket Token itself with each of its underlying assets. Three underlying assets in the basket? Three pools are created. This creates an arbitrage graph between the pools, the external venue value of the underlyings, and Basket Token mints and burns. Now enter memecoins and stock pairs. These are already seeing traction, and users are making real yield in liquid assets by LPing Meme/Stock pairs. But what happens when attention ends? What drives trading if no one is paying attention? ARBITRAGE. I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but the more opportunity you have for price divergence, the more opportunity arbitrage traders or bots have to rebalance and profit. This translates to volume. Volume translates to fees. Fees translate into rewards for LPs. And rewards can translate into attention coming back because the yield is good. See where I am going? Basket Token pools don't require speculation to attract volume. All they need is price divergence. In trading, divergence is an everyday occurrence. Imagine a basket with underlyings of NVDA and MEMECOIN. We call it NM1. You then have pools with: NM1/NVDA NM1/MEMECOIN If MEMECOIN dumps hard on an outside exchange, think about what just opened up... The MEMECOIN/NM1 pool has not dumped with it, and this has created a DIVERGENCE. A trader can buy MEMECOIN at the lower external price, sell it into the NM1/MEMECOIN pair, acquire NM1 tokens, burn NM1 for the underlying assets, and profit. The trader was able to profit AND pick up NVDA at the same time. And this is just a super simple example of all the possibilities that open up. $STATICS is building infrastructure to make existing assets useful and, ideally, bring attention back to them. The Uniswap v4 hook also compounds part of the fees directly back into Protocol Owned Liquidity that can't be removed until a pool is decommissioned. This means every trade deepens protocol-owned liquidity. MemeFi is here, and it's being paired with stock tokens. The frontier for this is on @RobinhoodCrypto, and @staticsprotocol is building for it.

    This tired 20th century psychoanalysis is just laughable. These “weak people” escaped slavery, crossed the desert, conquered a foreign land for hundreds of years, and kept the documents about it; preserving their identity so well against the Assyrians and Romans you’re still mad about them today. Now tell me, which angle of Jew-sperging are we taking here? Is it “Christianity is a Jewish religion”? If so, that religion conquered the gods of Homer and the lands of Odin, just not entirely the way poor ol’ Nietzsche liked with his made up system of beliefs that magically served what he liked and condemned what he didn’t like. The problem you’ll have with Nietzsche is the same he had with himself, there’s no means to ground his ideas of morality so they drift off into Reddit levels of cope. You don’t have to like Israel dude, but at least bring something other than ideas that were laughable over a century ago.

    WSJ says Gemini 3.8 Flash, internally called Skimaki, could release as soon as today. Google engineers using it inside Jetski reportedly preferred it to Anthropic's Opus in head-to-head coding work. That's an internal opinion, not an independent benchmark, but WSJ reporting it from employees is a pretty substantial upgrade from the X cottage industry leak-account chatter we've had all week. Reddit actually adds an interesting piece to this. People already using 3.7 Flash keep coming back to the same thing: not that it is magically smarter than everything else, but that it is so damn fast. I agree. One developer described building several semi-complex web apps and said watching it work was a “hoot” because of the speed. Another heavy Claude/ChatGPT user said moving to 3.7 gave him “whiplash” because of how quickly it could iterate through coding work. A model that's 95% as good but can take three swings while the expensive model takes one may actually be the better coding model. There are also Reddit posts this morning claiming Gemini is identifying itself as 3.8 Flash even though the model selector still says 3.7. I would ignore those completely as proof. Asking an LLM what model it is remains the AI equivalent of asking a golden retriever who manufactured the dog food. Google's public pages still haven't given us a gemini-3.8-flash endpoint as I write this, so we're not across the finish line yet. But if 3.8 lands and independently backs up the WSJ coding claims, I think the story is pretty simple: Google may be turning latency from a product feature into an intelligence advantage. In agentic coding, the fastest good model gets to make more mistakes. And more importantly, it gets to fix them before the other guy finishes thinking.

    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
