@bryan_johnson I wonder how many teenagers this will convince to try hard core drugs. 3? 12? It’s probably not 0, since this message will reach millions.

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

"Gold Prices Plunge Amid War" is a headline I didn't think I would see

@timsoulo @ahrefs Very smart move. More companies should do this.

Now that everyone is suddenly a (vibe) coder, we decided to make @Ahrefs API available on (almost) all paid plans! 🥳 So if you're on a Lite plan or higher - go grab your API key in Account Settings and plug it into your Claude Code. Happy building!

Congratulations Simmy CantStandYaBitz - well done.

@pmarca it's catchier than The Nietzschean Demolition of Introspection and Feelings

Let's face it, humans hallucinate way more than AI ever does lol

@toddsaunders agree and it's so interesting. I remember saying the other day, "By the time we build a spec, we could have built this thing."

The token cost to build a production feature is now lower than the meeting cost to discuss building that feature. Let me rephrase. It is literally cheaper to build the thing and see if it works than to have a 30 minute planning meeting about whether you should build it. It’s wild when you think about it. This completely inverts how you should run a software organization. The planning layer becomes the bottleneck because the building layer is essentially free. The cost of code has dropped to essentially 0. The rational response is to eliminate planning for anything that can be tested empirically. Don’t debate whether a feature will work. Just build it in 2 hours, measure it with a group of customers, and then decide to kill or keep it. I saw a startup operating this way and their build velocity is up 20x. Decision quality is up because every decision is informed by a real prototype, not a slide deck and an expensive meeting. We went from “move fast and break things” to “move fast and build everything.” The planning industrial complex is dead. Thank god.

@mattcharney @Mediabistro @NewYorker problem is I use it 19 hours a day

@MilesWorks @Mediabistro @NewYorker

I do want @mediabistro to look more like the @NewYorker

@mattcharney @Mediabistro @NewYorker well that was easy, lol. I have to say, I'm beginning to hate AI with a passion

@MilesWorks @Mediabistro @NewYorker 🙇

You could write a book about @Mediabistro and it wouldn't even be boring

@Substack We can't import subscribers, and there is zero customer support. Have to leave the platform next week if we can't talk to someone.

@DeItaone heroin helps you quit coffee

PSILOCYBIN BEATS NICOTINE PATCHES IN QUITTING SMOKING A study published in JAMA Network Open found a single dose of psilocybin—the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms—was far more effective than nicotine patches at helping smokers quit. In a trial of 82 adults, over 40% of participants who received psilocybin were smoke-free after six months, compared with about 10% using nicotine patches, with both groups receiving therapy. Lead researcher Matthew Johnson of Johns Hopkins University said the drug may help by altering brain communication and self-perception, potentially breaking addictive patterns. The findings add momentum to growing research into psychedelic-assisted treatments, though larger trials are still needed.

Truly evil.

I guess my wife always sees words in her mind. I asked her in what font, and she said without hesitation, Garamond. Love that woman.

The things you spend the most time prompting AI about tell you who you should hire.

@JesseTinsley @Existencial33 @grok im in the "justice, w/fair round belly with good capon lined" stage

@Existencial33 Its not vague… “the world is nothing but a stage” @grok what am i implying in my original post?

One thing I wish I knew at 18: life is basically WWE for adults. Make of that what you will.

@itsolelehmann which kind of begs the question. If one smart person can be so productive, what can ten smart people do? Google has 187K people or so. I wonder what they can do?

@signonx_app Is this hashlove?? 😂

@MilesWorks V2.

Launched this today. Not very pretty yet, but it works. SignOnX.app made with @Lovable
