@nickercolano That was awesome, really appreciate you sharing your insights. I recently tried out @Replit after following @amasad for a couple of years and was blown away by the free version. I’m in analysis paralysis mode because there’s so many ideas but you lit a fire for me to just build.

i hope every content creator watches this video about AI and what's happened over the last 6 months the (former) barrier between creators and their ability to build products (price, speed, vision) is basically gone i haven’t made a sports video since december after doing it almost daily for 7–8 years. because i became genuinely obsessed with these tools and spent hundreds of hours learning and building with them i made this video to share what ive learned over that time and how you can use them

@XaviercMiller I started losing interest about a decade ago and figured maybe I just aged out as many of the players I grew up with retired, but always felt like the sentiment around the game had changed as well. Now that data looks like it’s backing that up.

I said 2 years ago the NBA will be irrelevant in America within 15 years. People laughed. But this is how it starts. First ratings decline, then fan interest declines, then local media revenue declines. You don’t lose cultural dominance overnight, you slowly become less relevant until it finally shows up in the business side all at once.

@PeterMcCormack What did you change? I’ve enjoyed the last couple because they pop up on my feed which is convenient.

Our little podcast has been doing alright recently. We switched things up a little in February and had a record month. We’ve already beat that this month with 8 days to go. Not bad for a halfwit from Bedford with 5 GCSEs. We don’t have any private funders or secret backers. It’s just me, my son and Curt grafting in a studio in London with a few sponsors. Thanks to anyone who has been a guest, anyone who listens and everyone giving me advice on how to be less fat and more Christian in the comments. Love ya all!

@sneako This is actually a great analogy. Ask any die hard sports fan if they approve of all the actions the front office management make. Doesn’t change their love for the team, but they can still be critical.

You can love your country but being overly patriotic is the equivalent of a sports fanboy season ticket holder cheering on men who don’t know you exist You did not choose where you were born You are not responsible for your ancestor’s achievements Let go of unwarranted pride

@notgrubles One point I heard was potential capital flight out conflict areas.

So how do the quantum doomers explain Bitcoin doing a +$13000 move during a major middle eastern war?

@ProudSocialist This quote is wild

BREAKING: Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett just said the quiet part out loud. “If the war were to be extended it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy at all. It would hurt consumers…but that's really the last of our concerns right now." They don’t care about us at all.

@Pledditor While I agree in theory, I think it’s missing context. Back when yield was at 9% it was untested and new, but its weathered a significant downturn for BTC and held up during global conflict and uncertainty. The question now becomes if they were to reduce to 9% will demand stay?

Strategy has recently found success selling STRC, but they had to raise the dividend yield to a staggering 11.5% to do it. The profile of investor who fades a 9% yield but buys 11.5% is degenerate.... not exactly the money market funds demographic they were originally targeting

@Favwontmiss Set your alarm clock

I wanna get addicted to getting up early, hitting the gym, and eating healthy like y’all, what’s the secret?

@Benaskren @GamebredFighter Super wholesome

Well I suppose I learned last summer that life is short, definitely too short for holding grudges.  So when @GamebredFighter said he wanted to sit down and break bread of course I took him up on it.  Today he came to Wisconsin, sat down had some dinner and chatted it up.  Turns out we have more in common than different 👊👊👊  Felt great to bury the hatchet and make a new friend.  Life is too short to hold grudges, bury hatchets and move one with your life.  So glad Jorge was able to come to Wisconsin today.

@Aggroed001 Unfortunately we don’t live in a time where nuance is allowed.

So, I realized that the USA is talking about how Iran launched missiles into neighboring countries as if Iran suddenly started attacking their allies. But I'm pretty sure Iran launched missiles against US military bases in foreign countries. So, technically true, but nuanced.

@Smokedpf @rushicrypto Honest question - why have military bases if you’re going to just evacuate them when actual military conflicts start?

@rushicrypto The bases that were destroyed in the Middle East was evacuated 48 hours before being blown up but ok bro😂

The US press is lying. The USA has already lost this war. Nearly all US bases in the Middle East have been destroyed, with no survivors. Tens of thousands of servicemen are dead.

@merlinscapital Why does it feel like we’re not gonna get the true story of what happened for another 20 years, if ever.

Can’t get any real time footage normally means it’s not going the way we planned it From my understanding, poorly planned 48 hr operation that has gone completely sideways. Trump has went from talking about 5 days, to a month, to a forever war. Rubio says Israel made us do it. No one in the US is supportive of it and its a political disaster for Trump who campaigned on no new wars. The optics are even worse - it is blatantly a cover up to protect wealthy Jews in the epstein files while serving Israel’s interests over the United States. We are also out of literal ammo. Never have so many US bases in the ME been blown up by a faction like this. It is a military disgrace and burns our status amongst our allies (who all fking hate Israel btw) The war is so unpopular Elon had to literally pull videos off twitter, tells you everything you need to know

Feels like there should a be a celebration or something

@unusual_whales So basically this is another Crusade

"Some U.S. military commanders have reportedly been accused of telling their troops the Iran war is part of a biblical plan to trigger the end times," per HuffPost

@academic_la @saifedean This is absolutely wild

OnlyFans is the main funder of AIPAC. That is neither an exaggeration nor a joke.

@Markmanson This captures it completely

The last two months, every waking hour I'm either: 1) fucking around with AI, or 2) feeling like I'm wasting my time because I'm not fucking around with AI. Am I the only one?

@Kalshi 4 is on the way to 0

JUST IN: JPMorgan CEO says AI could cut work week to "4 days"

@svpino If I don’t have a ton of files/documents, are you recommending the move?

I want to move permanently to Claude, but their desktop experience is nowhere near ChatGPT. You can’t upload large/multiple documents to Claude because it can’t process them. ChatGPT ingests whatever you throw at it. This is the only thing keeping me from canceling my ChatGPT subscription.

@disclosetv Absolutely wild

NOW – Secretary of War Hegseth: "We didn't start this war, but under President Trump we will finish it."

@paulg Ok I’m done convincing myself. Need to try @replit asap.

Amjad showed me Replit's latest stuff. They're about to redefine vibe coding in a way that will seem obvious in retrospect. A lot of the biggest ideas have that quality.
