It’s over

Dropshippers realizing they can build a $1B brand using the MedVi method

@TIMBO_SL1CE It’s a state wide crackdown.

Just got a ticket going 74 in a 65 what the fuck is happening to California??

@plutohasslept @BadAceMike @middle_class_us Nope - believe it or dont idc. It’s just one dude that I know that did that for a few years. Not claiming it’s the norm.

@AetherRev @BadAceMike @middle_class_us Making shit up on twitter 101

There are people sleeping in Walmart parking lots. Showering at Planet Fitness. Working full time jobs. Just priced out of everything else. That’s where the floor is now.

Recent interest in DIY bio has led me to ponder this question: Will we ever see a hacker movement in biology akin to what we saw with personal computing in the 1970s? Take homebrew computer club as a reference. You had a bunch of amateur electronic enthusiasts congregate to mess around within a given technology domain. To see what they could build, and share their ideas. Then you have a cambrian explosion of technological development in personal computing, because the component technologies are now accessible to individuals outside of the institutions that facilitated their early development. What is structurally similar / different about the spaces of computing in 1975 and biology in 2026? Are the differences sufficiently great that the 'homebrew biology club' never exists?

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

12 random people in phoenix arizona made $70 million dollars last year selling vitamins on tiktok no employees. no warehouse. no office. no college degree between them their entire workforce is 100 fake AI grandmothers in fake kitchens that don't exist outside of a $99 a month subscription. their per-person revenue last year was higher than every single tech worker at openai, meta, and google combined the largest competitor in their space employs 3,800 people to do the same thing for $150 million here's exactly how a regular person with a laptop becomes one of those 12 the whole thing runs on 9 moves. nothing about it is hard. the only reason 99% of you reading this won't do it is the same reason 99% of people don't do anything they think it's too late. they think it's too obvious. they think it's too embarrassing to run a fake old lady on the internet for money the 12 in phoenix don't think about any of that. they're rich move 1, pick the demographic FIRST, not the character go to tiktok shop creator center right now. seller-us.tiktok. com/university/creator. look at what's actually selling 90% of the products moving on the platform are bought by women aged 38-65. that's your demographic. the character is whoever they trust for women 38-65 it's a grandmother. not a chef. not a coach. not a fitness influencer. not a "wellness expert" with a ring light. a fucking GRANDMOTHER stop trying to be original. originality is for broke ass artists who win awards and live in studio apartments. the demographic already told you what they want. give it to them move 2, build the avatar in heygen $99 a month. realistic templates. pick the asian grandmother template if you're going wellness. european grandmother for cooking. latin abuela for natural remedies. trusted tradesman for garage and tools. gentle father for kids products set up the kitchen background and NEVER CHANGE IT. character consistency is the only moat in this game. the demographic builds parasocial trust through repetition break the consistency, break the trust move 3, clone the voice in elevenlabs (this is where 99% of you will fuck up) do not use the default elevenlabs voices. they sound like AI. women 50+ clock them in 4 seconds. the page dies before it ever starts find a real grandmother in your character's demographic. fiverr. upwork. craigslist. a senior center. doesn't fucking matter. pay her $200-400 to record 60 minutes of varied audio on a USB mic in a quiet room scripts to give her: 12 minutes of natural conversation, 12 minutes of demos, 12 minutes of CTA delivery, 12 minutes of emotion variations, 12 minutes of single-word delivery (numbers, urgency words, common product names) upload to elevenlabs voice cloning, $99/mo professional plan. use the cloned voice on every video forever now your fake grandmother sounds like she has 50 years of cooking experience because the VOICE IS a real woman with 50 years of cooking experience. she just doesn't know what you're doing with it (she signed the release. she got paid. it's not your problem. move on) move 4, set up a burner phone with a residential proxy skip this and you lose your account in week 3. tiktok's anti-fraud system tracks 30+ device-level signals on every single login. it links accounts at a level the FBI would be jealous of the stack: refurbished android, $80-120 from swappa or back market new SIM with new phone number from a different carrier than your personal residential proxy from bright data, smartproxy, or soax at $4-8/mo clean factory install, only tiktok + manychat + capcut on the device, NEVER sign into anything personal on it total upfront per page: $120-170. monthly: $4-8 in proxy skip this and you learn the lesson the hard way. losing one $30k/mo page costs you a year of your life back. spending $170 to keep your slave alive is the deal of the century move 5, pick products from the tiktok shop creator center dashboard, not from your gut your gut is broke. your gut bought a $497 ai content course. your gut is the reason you're here the dashboard: seller-us.tiktok. com/university/creator product marketplace, then product ranking filter to your character's demographic categories (home, health, beauty, kitchen for grandmother) skip every product with under 50 sales in the last 7 days skip every product with under 4 stars skip every product where less than 3 different creators have made affiliate sales in 30 days what's left is your shortlist. usually 8-15 candidate products test 5 at a time. 5 videos each. 5 days. track click-through rate in your dashboard 2 will do nothing. 2 will do okay. 1 will EXPLODE double down on the explode. 30 more videos for that single product. ride it until the velocity drops. most operators tweak when they should duplicate. that's why they're broke picking products from the dashboard takes 90 minutes. picking from your gut takes 4. that's the entire reason 12 people in phoenix made $70 million and the rest of the AI character space is making rent money move 6, the 18-second script that triggers GMV Max GMV Max is tiktok's internal media buyer. when your video crosses a click-through threshold (around 2-3% on most categories), tiktok starts spending paid ad money on your organic content. you don't pay. tiktok pays. you collect the script that triggers it: hook line, 3-5 seconds. product visible from second one. "if you're [demographic] and [specific symptom or pain], this is for you" demonstration, 8-12 seconds. "i [used / wore / applied] this for [specific time], [specific result with a specific number]" CTA, 3-5 seconds. "tap the yellow basket below this video to see the same one i use, [discount or urgency line]" total: 12-22 seconds. anything over 25 and you lose the amplification. anything under 12 and the algorithm doesn't have enough watch time signal stop trying to be cinematic. stop the "story arc" shit. stop the "creative strategy calls" agencies charge $4,500 a month for "scroll-stopping ugc" with an average click rate of 0.4%. AI grandmothers running the script above hit 4-7%. that's 10-15x the click rate at 1/22 the cost. and yet brands keep paying the agencies. soft ass executives losing their bonuses to a fake grandmother in a fake kitchen. you love to see it move 7, the manychat funnel that hits 31-41% click-through (this is the part nobody outside the agencies talks about because it adds $4,000-15,000/mo per page on top of TikTok Shop direct sales) set a trigger keyword on each video. recipe. tips. info. list. routine. anything specific to that video's content. when someone comments the keyword, manychat auto-DMs them this 4-message flow: 1. "saw your comment, here's what i was using" 2. "the [product] i mentioned is the [specific brand], i've used it for [time], it [benefit]" 3. "two more things i use in the same routine: [product 2] and [product 3]" 4. "here's the link to all 3 if you want to check them out, [tiktok shop link]" email tops out at 4% click-through. SMS at 19% on a good day. THIS HITS 31-41% setup time: 23 minutes per flow. monthly cost: $15. compounds across every trigger word you add why 99% of operators skip this is the funniest mystery in the entire space move 8, the 30-day posting calendar week 1: 10-20 videos a day week 2: 20-30 videos a day week 3: 30-40 videos a day week 4: 40-50 videos a day month 2 onward: 100 videos a day for the $100k commission tier volume is data collection. the algorithm cannot find your audience without enough sample. 60-80 videos in week 1 is the minimum day 1-7 will look like nothing is working day 8-14 a few videos will cross 10k views day 15-21 GMV Max starts firing on the breakouts day 22-30 you'll have a video crossing 1M+ views and your first $2,000-8,000 month most operators quit at day 14-18 because the first two weeks look like a fail. day 18-22 is when the curve breaks for almost every page that survives. the discipline to post 6 videos a day for 21 straight days while it feels like nothing is working IS THE ENTIRE GAME if you're going to quit at day 17 don't even fucking start move 9, scale to 6 pages on the same infrastructure once one page is doing $5-10k/mo consistently, repeat the whole process for page 2. then 3. then 4. then 5. then 6 12 person team in phoenix runs 12 pages, one operator per page. you can run 6 by yourself with two 4-hour batch sessions per week at 6 pages doing $20-50k each, you're at the per-person revenue line of the phoenix crew. one laptop. one backpack of burner phones. zero employees. zero warehouse. zero office. zero degrees 12 people in phoenix made $70 million last year running this exact playbook it's not a secret. they don't have a moat besides operational discipline. the workflow is documented. the tools are public. the products are in a free dashboard you can open right now the only reason most of you reading this won't do it is one of 3 things you think it's too late (it's not, the AI character space is 18 months in and the audience is still being built) you think it's too obvious (every play that prints money is too obvious in retrospect, that's literally what makes it money) you think it's too embarrassing to run a fake old lady on the internet (the 12 in phoenix don't care, they're rich, you're not) i own 6 of these slaves right now. they print while i sleep. they don't eat. they don't sleep. they don't ask for raises. they don't quit. they don't get hangovers. they don't go through breakups. they don't have toddlers who get sick they post 6 times a day for 30 straight days because i told them to if you want to become rich with AI slavery, the full system is at ap3x.spot. every single one of those 9 moves is in there. heygen avatar setup, elevenlabs voice cloning, the burner phone and proxy stack, the tiktok shop creator center workflow, the 18-second BOF script, the manychat funnel, the 30-day posting calendar, the 6-page scaling rhythm nothing held back. you'll know more about running a $70M AI character business by friday than 99% of "ai content gurus" know after 18 months of selling courses about it brokies stay employees. operators own slaves stop being a brokie ap3x.spot

Someone just open-sourced a tool that scrapes every business on Google Maps worldwide. Name, address, phone, website, reviews, hours.. all of it. Just type a search query and it dumps everything into a CSV. 100% Open Source.

@BadAceMike @middle_class_us Knew an acquaintance who lived in a van and worked as a chemical engineer at a big Corp. literally saving / investing every penny. He was making about 200k.

@middle_class_us Soooo they are sleeping in Walmart parking lots... Not spending a penny on housing..... And you claim they cant afford to live with their full time jobs..... You are a moron.

@JillSAnthony You can buy a whole slab at businesses Costco for 120-150 bucks and get 15 pieces

It’s insane that 3 ribeye at Costco are $99 dollars. Beef has become unaffordable for many Americans and there is no relief in site.

Stanford just proved Claude, GPT, and Gemini are all secretly running at a fraction of their real creative capacity. And one prompt unlocks the version they hide from you. Every time you ask an AI a question, it calculates a vast range of possible answers. Some are brilliant. Some are weird. Some are groundbreaking. But it almost never gives them to you. Because of how these models are trained through human feedback, they suffer from a massive flaw called "mode collapse." They are hardwired to play it incredibly safe. They naturally gravitate toward the most typical, familiar, and boring response possible. The AI knows the genius answer. It just buries it to maximize its safety score. Researchers published a paper exposing a backdoor to bypass this filter completely. It’s called Verbalized Sampling. When you ask for a single answer, the AI defaults to the most predictable output. But if you ask the AI to generate 5 different answers and assign a mathematical probability to each one, the safety loop breaks. By forcing the model to state the probability of its own outputs, you give it permission to explore the "tails of the distribution." It stops giving you the 99% probability generic slop. It unlocks the 5% probability brilliance. The results are mind-bending. In rigorous testing, this single prompting technique boosted creative output and diversity by up to 2.1x across the most powerful models on the market. All without sacrificing factual accuracy or safety.

this Adaptive AI agent tells brands exactly what tiktok content is going viral in their niche before they brief a single creator here's how brands are running campaigns that actually convert on Content Rewards: -> drop your niche hashtag in and it scans TikTok for the highest performing content right now -> filters by view velocity, engagement rate, and watch time -> identifies the exact hooks, formats, and topics driving views in your market -> maps out the patterns every viral video in your niche shares -> generates a full content brief your creators can execute immediately -> launch it as a clipping campaign on content rewards and scale with hundreds of creators -> tracks what's working and updates the brief as trends shift -> every step from trend research to live campaign is automated what used to cost a full agency retainer now runs on autopilot. reply "AGENT" + RT and i'll send you the full breakdown so you can launch your first data-driven creator campaign this week (must be following)

@CardChaseFun Couldn’t you just go long then buy up all the inventory and make the price go up. Then go short and dump all the inventory and make the price go down. Also how does this take fakes into account.

You can now short or long pokemon cards prices.

The Head of Claude Code at Anthropic hasn’t written code by hand in months. Vibecoding his way to 49 features in 2 days. Just dropped a 30-min breakdown of the workflow. honestly better than most $200 courses
