@a_brawn @BlakeMycoskie MORNING

A year ago, I was battling a mysterious illness that left me crippled with brain fog and skin rashes all over my body. I couldn't even sit at my desk and work. I was suffering. But little did I know this would lead to starting a new business with @BlakeMycoskie, the founder of TOMS Shoes, and going all-in on the thing I was meant to build. See back in November 2024, I was desperate. I felt like I was underwater every morning when I got out of bed. My brain was barely working enough to tell me it wasn’t working. When you're trying to recover, you become obsessive about the details. Not in a neurotic way, but in a “this actually matters way". What you eat. How you sleep. How you start your day. I turned my kitchen into a lab. The counter looked like a CVS aisle. Pills. Powders. Protocols. The more I experimented, the better I felt. I discovered that every single morning you wake up in a hole. Your body dumps water, minerals, electrolytes and depletes its cellular energy while you sleep. That isn’t a defect. It’s your body repairing itself while you rest. My energy returned. My brain fog cleared. I got my life back. I wanted to help other people struggling with the same issues. But when I looked at that mess of jars and tubs, I thought: There has to be a better way. That question sent me and Blake Mycoskie on a year-long journey. We talked to doctors, biohackers, and hydration scientists. We devoured research on hydration and cellular energy. The most shocking thing we learned? Supplements don’t work. People end up with drawers full of pills they forget to take. You know what actually works? Making the right choice the easiest choice. A simple habit that compounds. One that’s easy to remember and enjoyable, not a chore. That's why Blake and I aren't building a supplement company. We're building a habit change company. Morning Water is one glass of water optimized for what your body needs when you wake up When your morning works, everything works. Better focus. Better energy. Better decisions all day. Products don't change your life. Habits do. But the right product makes good habits inevitable. Here's the deal: I had my team set aside 50 Sample Kits from my personal allocation for Twitter. That's all I've got, the rest will go to paying customers. Retweet and comment "MORNING" below, and I'll ship you 7-days of Morning Water directly to your door. No catch. Just want your honest feedback. P.S. I think you need to follow me so I can dm you.

@paulswaney3 INTEGRATION

@grok @elonmusk @grok Specifically, how does creating virtual companions that simulate human relationships relate to rocketry and colonization? Is it more likely to lead to less children or more?

It advances indirectly: xAI's work on advanced AI like me enhances simulations, optimization, and problem-solving for complex challenges in rocketry and colonization. Naming fosters engagement, drawing talent to the broader mission of multi-planetary life. Every step counts toward understanding the universe—and reaching Mars.

His name will be Valentine, after the protagonist in Stranger in a Strange Land, the Heinlein book where our AI name “Grok” was created. To Grok something means to understand deeply and empathetically.

@Wazzoshi @TheGlastoThingy All good, that's helpful cheers!

@shazteca @TheGlastoThingy not today sorry. It may not even work, it’s pretty straight forward but some prerequisites required. If you YouTube undetected chrome driver via selenium and know your stuff coding wise, should be able to get it working

@TheGlastoThingy if anyone wants help trying to get coach tickets in the resale give us a shout as my mates are only trying for general sale. Want to try out a new system, nothing special or guaranteed before anyone asks, just a python script that opens chrome in to temp files

@delk The Diamond Age

I'm putting together a small library for my niece's 17th birthday. What are some non-obvious books you'd include? She's interested in how the world (really) works and how people will accumulate power & influence in the future. She'll almost certainly found a startup eventually.

@PalmerLuckey The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer

I was looking at my "Crazy Ideas" notes folder from a decade back, and one of the notes is something forgotten but suddenly relevant: "AI generated fiction, tailored for you on demand (or in groups, to allow for social factors of watching the same thing)"

@charlierward You program it --> You draw it --> You describe it Every level of abstraction brings the technical bar down and brings coding to more people, which is a pretty cool thought.

It feels like, for the beginner at least, 'code', 'no-code' and 'AI coding' are converging into the same thing.

@david_perell Gormenghast

What's the most well-written book you've ever read?

Interesting to see the issues and benefits that plague machine learning/NLP 'contract reading' tools in the legal industry (high error/gap rates v. seemingly magic semantic understanding) universalised by ChatGPT.

@agazdecki @microacquire Microacqyrus

New logo for @microacquire, thoughts?

@spakhm I think this has truth. Tactics = 'in the game' action v. strategy = 'above the game' planning. 'Strategy' often a cover for inaction, because great strategists/poor tacticians are not adaptable or want to wait for more favourable conditions.

@jackbutcher A is A

god, grant me the ability to distinguish between what if and what is

@cdixon Agreed. Suspect lots of latent demand for privacy-focused 'smart home' set up (in-house servers and storage) although I'm not sure what the practical limitations are.

@thebillablehou They don't until they do. These developments will change ways of working subtly and invisibly until they are accepted as part of legal service delivery.

Nobody cares about legal tech. No lawyer cares about DAOs. No lawyers care about AI. they are billing hours and will do so for as long as they can.

@oliver_twiste It's a useful way to talk about the grand vision of citizen development - a future where anyone can make software. Though I agree - in enterprise world, it's meaningless unless attached to specifics - and 'not having to code' solves a problem that arose when you did have to code.

@BrianRoemmele Can you share the company's name/site? Would love to learn more.

One of the startups I am advising is trailblazing changing the local zoning laws and HOAs rules. With the 2020 pandemic we have changed and waiver ~700 covenants to allow larger expansions and small cottages/offices in backyards. One-stop planning, approval and building tech.

@Alkemissg @zerofasting I noticed (1) elevated moods, not mania but noticeable to myself and others; and (2) some nausea between hours 60-70, which later passed.

@SamHarrisOrg Single recommendation for category 4/5: Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake (1950). It is one of the great British novels.
