@thsottiaux wen gpt 5.5

/compact coming in Codex, we finally listened

@russdiemon They should accommodate both models depending on where the artist is at in their career

I hear yall. But streaming is low friction and buying is high friction, so if an artist can’t generate streams, they’re unlikely to generate purchases either. Yall are essentially charging 20% for infrastructure that becomes cheap and fully ownable once you scale, which means it can be useful early on to help artists monetize faster, but quickly becomes economically inefficient as soon as an artist has enough money to host their own domain and sell their music directly to their fans without giving someone 20%. I appreciate the willingness to have a public convo about this though. I think it’s helpful for artists

@StefanGeorgi Dumbest fucking thing I’ve read today. Gruns was started by a guy that worked in finance and venture capital, he was literally setup for fucking success, while the other guy bootstrapped it by himself.

Gruns vs. Medvi is a fascinating case study in how two DTC Brands can both get to $1BN+, but do it in very different ways, and with very different consequences. Medvi goes viral but it exposes high-risk world of affiliates gone wild. $1.8 BN in projected revenue but questionable how much founder will get to keep (especially now). Gruns builds a brand, doesn't work with aggressive affiliates, and sells for $1 BN in under 4 years. Fascinating dichotomy here. Medvi founder likely has way more equity. Made good money along the way. But now that money is at risk. Gruns founder almost certainly has less equity than Medvi founder. Probably made significantly less money along the way too. But now stands to realize a 9 figure payout with very little risk of not getting to keep that money. And even if we remove the illegality of those Medvi affiliates, and just look at the two business models, which one is better? Hardcore, hyper-scaling DTC using aggressive direct response may actually seem less risky on the surface. After all, you're more likely to make money early on and, if you do hyper-scale, you can make a ton of money during the ride. But it also comes with a much higher risk of your business (and your personal fortune) crashing down. You risk having to give a lot (or all) of that money back. Meanwhile building a fast-scaling DTC Brand like Gruns is, in some ways, riskier. Despite what you see on X, it's hard to sell a DTC Brand. Even harder (and rarer) to get a $1 BN+ exit. Plus, the dilution of equity along the way can hurt. But where the Gruns model has the biggest advantage is this: If you're an experienced operator running a brand like Gruns, then you can sleep easy every night. Not because there isn't stress in scaling - I'm sure there were tons of stressful moments along the way - but because you know that you're not building a house of cards. There's no real risk of it all crashing down. And that peace of mind is priceless. All of which is to say that, at least personally, I'd rather build a Gruns than a Medvi.

@striedinger You work at X and use Grok, so that checks out

If you work for a serious tech company please review your code, I beg you, the models are not there yet

@JustinBleuel I like the codeblocks, I think there just needs to be a consolidation of both the codeblocks and the canvases! Canvas has some bugs to iron out tho, for example, it can't seem to do basic things like make clickable checkboxes. Probably a very simple markdown bug tbh.

@vibebuild yeah! openai.com/careers 1. good eye 2. we've been expanding code blocks more and more to cover exactly this, what do you think? what's missing? 3. totally.. lots to tidy up there 🧹

@effthealgorithm Also, if it makes you feel any better, despite how powerful modern LLMs have become, they STILL suck at writing. Humans will always more creative.

@effthealgorithm 1. Technology has always been a disruptor, since time immemorial, see Industrial Revolution replacing entire classes of labor. 2. Bots existed long before modern AI. 3. Governments were spying on their people long before AI, see Snowden and WikiLeaks.

Are you telling me that if someone steals all the creative work of authors and musicians and artists, uses it to train a machine to put those people out of work, enables the creation of countless bots attacking and harassing people who point out the moral wrongness of it, essentially bribes a politician to support a 10-year ban on regulating their industry, enables the government to use their program to spy on its citizens and wage war on other countries, and says they’re going to put everyone out of work but, no, they have no idea how people are going to survive, THEY are the victim when there’s blowback? Funny ol’ world.

@ColePoggles @vannypoooh @RpsAgainstTrump How’s Trump’s cock taste

@vannypoooh @RpsAgainstTrump I’m MAGA not a liberal

New footage shows Arkansas principal Kirk Moore lunging at a school shooter, helping save students’ lives. A real hero

@wondrfulrainbow @ranchyplains @SocialistRage @DeryaTR_ Oh Edgelord what would we do without you oh great edgelord 🙌🙏🧎‍♂️‍➡️

@vibebuild @ranchyplains @SocialistRage @DeryaTR_ how is that lucky for me? it means i have to deal with you right now. i wouldnt be having to deal with you right now if you didnt. i think im unlucky

Look at the language they're trying to use lmao "maniac" & "terrifying" bro 99% of people are cheering this on...it's literally only the 1% that's scared

@wondrfulrainbow @ranchyplains @SocialistRage @DeryaTR_ Lucky for you, I'm alive, a job well done I'd say. You see, he decided to go to school for over 10 years and contribute meaningfully to society, while you've opted to make rainbows and being an edgelord your whole identity.

@vibebuild @ranchyplains @SocialistRage @DeryaTR_ he should lose his license

@wondrfulrainbow @ranchyplains @SocialistRage 1. It's early 2. There are many kinds of cancers 3. Scientists are already using LLMs to accelerate their work, see @DeryaTR_ 4. I'm a cancer survivor, my oncologist and I have had conversations about this and he's just as convinced as I am

@vibebuild @ranchyplains @SocialistRage then why hasnt it

I was optimistic about $FIG originally, but I'm out. They had every opportunity to capture the vibe coding market and bring sophistication to it, but they catastrophically failed at doing so. AI Studio is a fucking sidequest for Google and it's 10x better than Figma Make.

@skirano Believing this more and more. Also, keep going with MagicPath and don't sell to Figma. I pulled my money out of Figma stock today with this realization.

The future of design will look a lot less like what we call designing today, and more like remixing.

@Tondieu5 @HeroicLife @CodyLeachYT You can increase revenue without increasing profit margins. No clue how McDonald's did it, but the context matters. Ultimately, customers decide the fate of the business tho. Look at Pepsi, literally had to cut prices of Dorito's cuz they got too fuckin greedy.

@HeroicLife @CodyLeachYT I understand the difference crypto boy. I don't care about the metric of ever increasing profit margin's that corporations believe they are entitled too. You think they spent 2 billion on stock buybacks last year because they are struggling?

Fast food restaurants will do literally anything but work to get their prices lower. Business isn’t down because your menu needs updating, it’s because fast food used to be “quick and cheap” and now it’s “slow and expensive.”

We need a slur for liberals who decry genocide, sexual assault, and other atrocities, whilst promoting literal murder and violence to private citizens in the same breath.

@wondrfulrainbow @ranchyplains @SocialistRage If you had the option to press a button that would cure every child of cancer, would you press it? AI is that button.

@ranchyplains @SocialistRage i am

Pussy @VerySillyBunny quick with the block.

How do we get these retards to understand murder is wrong?
