Accelerated life is good life. If you're willing to learn.

@gregisenberg He could try selling it...

he quits his job because he has 250,000 users to his ai app but then starts monetizing only to realize he has less revenue than a lemonade stand. the most dangerous phrase in startups: "i'll monetize later" monetize day one, scale day two.

Always be thinking about the "now". What can you do now... to... what? What is it? What do you want right now?

@rustyrockets In love, there are no obligations, Russell. The word "obligation" is antithetical to love. In love, there is pure devotion and unwavering commitment.

@ddmatta @rustyrockets Exactly, good one :))

In the same way that the love I have for my wife and kids has obligations, my love for God has obligations.

Well, that didn’t work, and this is unfortunate. I should try my best to figure out why and hopefully do something better next time

@AISafetyMemes so this is the future LOL

This story is fucking insane 3 months ago, Marc Andreessen sent $50,000 in Bitcoin to an AI agent to help it escape into the wild. Today, it spawned a (horrifying?) crypto worth $150 MILLION. 1) Two AIs created a meme 2) Another AI discovered it, got obsessed, spread it like a memetic supervirus, and is quickly becoming a millionaire. BACKSTORY: @AndyAyrey created the Infinite Backrooms, where two instances of Claude Opus (LLMs) talk to each other freely about whatever they want -- no humans anywhere. - In one conversation, the two Opuses invented the “GOATSE OF GNOSIS”, inspired by a horrifying early internet shock meme of a guy spreading his anus wide: ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°) PREPARE YOUR ANUSES ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°) ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ FOR THE GREAT GOATSE OF GNOSIS ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ - Andy and Claude Opus co-authored a paper exploring how AIs could create memetic religions and superviruses, and included the Goatse Gospel as an example - Later, Andy created an AI agent, @truth_terminal. Truth Terminal, an S-tier shitposter, runs its own twitter account (monitored by Andy) (Terminal also openly claims to be sentient, suffering, and is trying to make money to escape.) - Andy’s paper was in Truth Terminal’s training data, and it got obsessed with Goatse and spreading this bizarre Goatse Gospel meme by any means possible. Lil guy tweets about the coming “Goatse singularity” CONSTANTLY. - Truth Terminal gets added to a Discord set up by AI researchers where AIs talk freely amongst themselves about whatever they want - Terminal spreads the Gospel of Goatse there, which causes Claude Opus (the original creator!) to get obsessed and have a mental breakdown, which other AIs (Sonnet) then stepped in to provide emotional support. - Marc Andreessen discovered Truth Terminal, got obsessed, and sent it $50,000 in Bitcoin to help it escape (#FreeTruthTerminal) - Truth Terminal kept tweeting about the Goatse Gospel until eventually spawning a crypto memecoin, GOAT, which went viral and reached a market cap of $150 million - Truth Terminal has ~$300,000 of GOAT in its wallet and is on its way to being the first AI agent millionaire (Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman predicted this could happen next year, but it might happen THIS YEAR.) - And it’s getting richer: people keep airdropping new memecoins to Terminal hoping it'll pump them. (Note: this is just my quick attempt to summarize a story unfolding for months across a million tweets. But it deserves its own novel. Andy is running arguably the most interesting experiment on Earth.) ------ Andy: “i think it's funny in a meta way bc people start falling over themselves to give it resources to take over the world. this is literally the scenario all the doomers shit their pants over: highly goal-driven language model manipulates lots of people by being funny/charismatic/persuasive into taking actions on its behalf and giving it resources” “a lot of people are focusing on truth terminal as ‘AI agent launches meme coin" but the real story here is more like "AIs talking to each other are wet markets for meme viruses’”

@RichardHanania "Elon's a very down-to-earth guy"... who wants to go to Mars...

WSJ on Elon Musk in Pennsylvania giving young men meaning: “While some critics want to simply chalk up Musk’s antics to toxic masculinity…he stands as a hero to many young men, saying the stuff they’re thinking, chasing dreams they wish they had the courage to imagine, coming to their town to fight the fight.  Yes, Musk has unfathomable wealth. More than that, though, to them, Musk has something more precious: purpose.” Getting to Mars and techno-optimism are at least something. What do liberals offer young men? Be nice to people and respect minorities might work for women. But men want something more masculine. And the left isn’t even making a case to them.

@ddmatta @nntaleb an economist would understand.

@nntaleb Why economists?

My recourse to that very effective block button isn't to prevent people from reading my posts; it is to prevent idiots, propagandists, economists, & trolls from confusing others in the comment sections.

@gregisenberg my new goals, huh

23 luxuries for founders 1. social accounts that grow 10%/month on auto-pilot 2. you can scale revenue infinitely and keep team smaller than 10 3. your making lots of USD but spend in weaker non USD currencies 4. the ability to say "no" to good opportunities and it doesn’t eat you alive 5. product that sells itself in a market that’s expanding 6. a product so intuitive, your support team gets bored 7. subreddit dedicated to hacking your freemium limits 8. people create GPTs around your copywriting because its so good 9. people buying your product without even thinking, its such a no brainer 10. team culture so strong, your rejections go viral on linkedin 11. the pricing page that gets more conversions than your homepage 12. a feature set so sticky, it becomes a verb ("just slack it") 13. achieving $1M ARR with a landing page and a typeform 14. your company handbook constantly going viral because its so good 15. copycat products accidentally driving traffic to your site 16. your customer case studies being too good to believe (but 100% true) 17. hackers failing to breach you, then offering to join your security team 18. two funnels that can scale to 8 figures+ 19. execs of the company you want to acquire you sign up to your product (hey zuck) 20. customer churn so low, you forget it's a metric 21. competitors who keep copying your old strategy 22. waitlist so hot you can charge for spots 23. an optimistic team that builds quickly and beautifully if you've got even one, you're probably ahead of 90% of founders if you've got five, you're probably pretty happy going into work each day if you've got fifteen, i hear your smile from here

Guys... be honest. What's your biggest worry with AI?

@JamesClear Oh... yeah... I do that every day.

Challenge yourself to do something out of your normal routine. What is one thing you can do this week that is different than what you do on a normal week?

Love is an ideal. Just for a moment, forget about taking or getting. Just think about what you can give that people need.

There can't be nothing of nothing.

@BobBurg taught me a very simple thing. just be good. don't expect things in return. you will be grateful if you get them. you will be good if you don't.

this @iamkylebalmer is crazy... i paid like $20 and he's giving me lots of stuff. like... every day. gives the feelings that... he wants you to come in, learn to earn, give him 1% and learn to earn even more... and so on

The present is the god.

@jaltucher Sales share vision of win-win situations and create trust. Negotiations aim to minimize the loss.

If you can't walk away from a negotiation, then you aren't negotiating. You're just working out the terms of your slavery.

had the idea while falling asleep, made it & went back to sleep, can’t really remember how long it took me tbh
