Ever noticed how every watch ad—from Rolex to Titan—shows the exact same time? ⌚ It’s always 10:10. It’s not a coincidence or a tribute to history. It’s a masterclass in visual psychology. The "Framing" Secret: 🧵

@nikitabier When nikita, doesn't have any new ideas to implement .

We're testing a new reply setting on posts: We're expanding the "Accounts you follow" option to include their followers too: your 2nd degree connections. This allows a wider audience to participate—but still keeps things intimate Early access available to Premium+ subscribers

@NickBmjd @KELLAN1v9 @protosphinx Here is missing one key layer- even if robots reduce production cost close to zero, demand doesn’t magically appear. If humans don’t earn, they can’t consume. And without consumption, businesses- even fully automated ones-collapse. Automation solves supply, not demand.

@Something_value @KELLAN1v9 @protosphinx Okay tell me this. What do you pay a robot per hour? It's nothing btw. Now, what if a robot mines, smelts, creates other robots? Still, 0. How about energy? Uh oh! They can do that too! 0 costs still. A company can create product with little to no costs

@NickBmjd @KELLAN1v9 @protosphinx So robots will be free to use ? For using that we need money , and we will get money only if someone uses our products or services but same again if someone doesn't have a job and won't use then from where you will get that money.

@KELLAN1v9 @Something_value @protosphinx Because without money flow people won't work. But a robot? Does not need incentive. It is stronger, faster and better than any human worker. Why need money when a robots can be my farmer, doctor, maid, house builder, driver? 1 robot can do 10 jobs of humans. Replaced

@KELLAN1v9 @NickBmjd @protosphinx Seems like Anthropic CEO

@NickBmjd @Something_value @protosphinx Alright, and whos gonna buy the whole things that will be produced if there are no customers anymore?

@nikitabier @jonatanpallesen It would be better if it was kept for politics only. For other types of content it will not be a good idea.

For a random person signing up in France: Their very first timeline will likely include Trump ragebait and Silicon Valley chatter. We can’t continue to incentivize the same kind of posts forever—and not try to expand our inventory. The network will never grow. It will proceed to be a monoculture with a handful of countries rationally spamming the replies of those posts to get $30/week.

Content that @nikitabier doesn't like: Europeans from small countries posting about science or global trends, or making original content. Content @nikitabier loves: An American posting a screenshot from instagram of a hot girl.

@AshutoshRai__ @protosphinx The way the Anthropic CEO is hyping it tells a different story.

@Something_value @protosphinx not everyone but people that don't upgrade their skills with time
