Lucie Lozinski

🦾🐸🤳 Ha 🫁 Ha🦵🦵Look at me

making it men's history month would've been funnier and maybe more effective in proving the point

if i hear the term building blocks to describe something one more time

@adaobiadibe_ Thanks! All the jazz absorption goin to work

@thisloops Oh this is a very beautiful song - congratulations!!

Happy birthday to my first full-length record, Burnout/Boys. I left my job two years ago to focus on this. Very, very excited it’s out today. Eleven songs, mostly tracked live together, all made in Brooklyn. Listen wherever. Also available on vinyl.

@sbensu 👼 curious how you’ll find the sequence

I’ve been waiting for this record for 2 years! Many of Lucie’s songs are already in my Liked Songs playlist and that number can only go up from here…

Very excited for this drop as a big fan of Lucie and maybe even a bigger fan of @skiiiteam's music. Lucie is 1 of 1. She came to Uber HQ for an interview in 2015 as a new grad with a backpack full of everything-bagels from NJ and a flip phone (that she left behind in one of our elevators somehow???). Just poking fun at seriously one of the most brilliant, creative, and hardworking people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. When someone on the Uber hiring panel said "You want to hire Bagel Girl??" I said, "I'm pretty sure we're all going to be working for Bagel Girl one day." I'm actually jealous of Lucie's ability to excel in technology, writing, artwork, and of course, music. Congrats @thisloops

@capitaltruist @skiiiteam Don’t make me cry on b/b release day Long live bagels #nj

@yungalgorithm Hello to the crypto community

non-crypto post: congratulations to my dear friend on releasing her debut album today. @thisloops this is one of my favs: youtube.com/watch?v=XDKtzC… but the whole album's great

that didn't format the way i expected

calling on engineers who use openai things (api, codex, apps sdk, whatever) to build stuff do you use openai to build stuff? if so, dm/message me—would like to buy you a coffee and ask you a few Qs

@GrantSlatton @Romy_Holland proof that words themselves are fun and interesting and can be played with

@Romy_Holland one of the best parts of reading to baby is you discover totally random words or sound effects that make them laugh e.g. book of animals, the word "kookaburra" made him lose his mind giggling

baby did his first real laugh. i’m quitting twitter, i was only here as a comedic outlet anyway and now i’ve won at comedy. turns out the funniest thing ive ever done is bounced a baby erratically while saying his name in an increasingly silly voice.

One of my fears in California is that someone is going to die from following me into the street when I’m jaywalking

@bytheophana Welcome to the best part

personal update: i've decided to try not working for anyone else for a year. i'm turning my x into a diary of my journey. i welcome you to follow along. i will either manage to feed myself or get dragged back into the workforce. why am i doing this? this is gonna get personal: i have been on a long road to reset my brain to stop viewing money as freedom. for the longest time, it was. my mom was never given the option to work. watching her as a child, i told myself i would make a lot of money so i would never have to be owned by someone else. unfortunately, that only turned into me being owned by companies. i have been working for 13 years (cue old titanic rose meme). the longest break i've had was 1 month. i've wanted to write a book since i was 5. my 1st grade yearbook quotes me saying 'my favorite part of first grade is my journal'. but when i was a college freshman, the 2008 recession hit. that showed me dreams were for dummies, so i told myself i'd work really hard and then i'd write a book when i was rich. i've had many jobs. my first job was in management consulting. i was chasing prestige. i was laid off after <6 months. that taught me that prestige was bullshit. so every job after that, i started chasing the frontier--from ux design to working in hong kong to crypto, where i worked for 4 years. working at a crypto startup was one of the most emotionally taxing experiences of my life. i don't have any regrets about it. i learned a lot, but it did give me a lot of trauma about working with others. there was a solid year where i nearly lost my mind. i felt chronically undervalued. i severely mistrusted some of my peers. i didn't agree with many decisions. this made me very sensitive and impatient around others because i became increasingly paranoid that i was wasting my time. i quit that startup, then for a short while worked at another startup, which revealed to me that every company has problems. no company is perfect. but the idealistic part of me in 2021 had rotted from the inside. startups are about trust. the most beautiful journeys are when you find someone you'd latch onto for life, and work becomes a state of manic flow. but by that point, i didn't trust anyone really, so the magic was impossible to reproduce. i then messed around with a few small advisory gigs but felt bored. i was too emotionally spent for the intensity of startups but advisory didn't make me feel that much fulfillment or conviction, so i stopped doing that too. the only exception is i've been doing some minor stuff on the side for my bf's startup @zocomputer, which has been good most days. it's been nearly half a year since i quit my first crypto job. i'm finally understanding (after many months of trying) that my brain isn't going to let me work for anyone else right now. some people take sabbaticals out of courage, but it's become my only option in a strange process of elimination. i can't bring myself to care about anything except writing a book. every other idea pitters out in 72 hours. i want to write a memoir. i currently have 22,000 words, around 1/3 of a book. i wanna write about my mom, specifically my freedom and her sacrifice. i wanna also writing more short essays about my crazy life across boston / taiwan / nebraska / michigan / chicago / hong kong / puerto rico. i wanna write about my northern chinese mom and my taiwanese dad. i wanna write about how crypto turned me from a liberal to somewhat of an anarchist. there's so much to cover, i just need to capture it. if i can just focus on writing the way i've focused on work for over a decade, maybe i will find the freedom i've been looking for, one that money can't buy. maybe along the way i can figure out how to feed myself. even if it's just to pay my bills, i'd be happy never eating at a michelin star restaurant ever again if it means i can wake up on a wednesday and not have to answer to anyone. so i'm making this very long post to say i'm gonna take a jump into the unknown! don't be surprised if my tweets stop being about crypto. i'm gonna start being more off the cuff. i'll also be sharing my writing here or on substack, not sure yet, maybe both. i welcome all encouragement and feedback along the way, and if you've made it til here, thank you.

@0thernet @zocomputer Ben like Cher

um guys we're trending

@0thernet @zocomputer Zo ma honey

today we're announcing @zocomputer. when we came up with the idea – giving everyone a personal server, powered by AI – it sounded crazy. but now, even my mom has a server of her own. and it's making her life better. she thinks of Zo as her personal assistant. she texts it to manage her busy schedule, using all the context from her notes and files. she no longer needs me for tech support. she also uses Zo as her intelligent workspace – she asks it to organize her files, edit documents, and do deep research. with Zo's help, she can run code from her graduate students and explore the data herself. (my mom's a biologist and runs a research lab. hi mom) Zo has given my mom a real feeling of agency – she can do so much more with her computer. we want everyone to have that same feeling. we want people to fall in love with making stuff for themselves. in the future we're building, we'll own our data, craft our own tools, and create personal APIs. owning an intelligent cloud computer will be just like owning a smartphone. and the internet will feel much more alive. THIS ONE'S FOR YOU MOM ❤️ special thank you to @modal, @pydantic AI, and @steeldotdev for being great partners leading up to this launch. and thank you @cursor_ai for being my sword 🗡️ and thank you to everyone who believed in us. a small handful: @southpkcommons, @adityaag, @chrisbest, @rauchg, @immad, @shreyas, @MattHartman, @lessin, @gokulr, @sabrinahahn, @iqramband, @whoisnnamdi, @guruchahal, @mikemarg_, @gaybrick, @SJCizmar, @magdovitz, @anneleeskates, @henloitsjoyce, @sugarjammi, @vibethinker, @aaronmakhoffman, @Sunfield__
