@btaylor The grift is insane. Access to liquidity and you can permanently extract more by doing largely, nothing.

Sierra is raising $950 million from new and existing investors, led by Tiger Global and GV, at a valuation of over $15 billion. We now have more than $1 billion to invest in becoming the global standard for companies wanting to transform their customer experiences with AI.  We’ve never had such conviction in the opportunity for Sierra and our customers. Just a couple of years ago, we had four design partners. Now, Sierra is serving over 40% of the Fortune 50, and agents built on our platform are powering billions of customer interactions — everything from refinancing homes to processing insurance claims, returning orders, and helping people raise millions in fundraisers. We’re deeply grateful to our customers for helping show what’s possible. If you’re not yet using Sierra, we’d love to partner with you. sierra.ai/blog/better-cu…

@LizzieMarbach You’re getting dragged for trying to drag an entire segment of men and instead of any reflection your basic ass is like, yeah it’s time to double down.

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@doodlestein Creating the tools and then using their massive leverage to block the people being replaced by the tools from creating economic values with the tools. Incredibly dystopian.

It will be obvious in retrospect that this particular deal (and others like it) will have done more to accelerate AI-driven job losses than just about anything else. Which seems weird to me given Dario’s stated concerns about economic disruption from things moving so fast.

@devahaz Disagree, mental deficiency when engaging in mental battle is a critical ailment. Being Sam Altman has no impact.

@AsyncCollab Calling things retarded and gay are absolutely in the same class

This is how you know the “edginess” is fake and they’re all sheep. This class of “based” tech/VC people only use words publicly once their peer group has designated them acceptable, while never touching a set of taboo words referring to a variety of groups.

@NadineBlackDog @b9bozzi Oh we use average finish now? For what? What does this stat even mean?

@AsyncCollab @b9bozzi He’s averaging a top-7 finish.

#1 player in the world btw.

@adamghowiba These are slides demonstrating an intended workflow that doesn’t exist in reality.

JP Morgan's investment research team just shared exactly how they built their multi-agent system "Ask David", and it's the same architecture pattern showing up everywhere: - supervisor agent orchestrates - specialized subagents handle retrieval, structured data, analytics - LLM-as-judge reflection node before the answer ships - human-in-the-loop for the last accuracy gap worth watching for anyone building:

@NadineBlackDog @b9bozzi 1 win. And let’s not look into those 2 <T20 finishes.

@b9bozzi Yes. He’s terrible. He should retire.

@AndrewCurran_ What’s the problem here? He called out that their own words would bury them and here we are. Everyone knew they were evil and now we can see it explicitly in their own plain speak (they also communicate like total retards).

OpenAI has filed a court statement alleging that Elon Musk contacted Greg Brockman two days before the trial to gauge interest in a settlement, and when rebuffed Elon said 'By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be'.

@MTSlive Lmao they just copy paste everything Anthropic at this point. Give the company to Elon. The twink queen is a complete loser.

SITUATION BREWING: OpenAI to announce a $10B joint venture called The Deployment Company to help businesses adopt AI software.

@JohnnyTheScot That’s because you’re a loser.

I’ll never understand the habit of men wearing hats indoors. 🤔

@cryptosmiff @0xRuzy Yes she’s a striving retard who got lucky using the shotgun effect.

@0xRuzy Um, is she tweakin ?

“Lucy Guo reveals the bold move that helped Scale AI land its first clients.” When asked how they got early clients, she shared the story behind it. Her words were simple, early on, they pulled contacts from Y Combinator’s internal database, then reached out to companies one by one. Their pitch was clear. They were a YC startup, and they could handle data labeling cheaper than competitors.

These loser strivers are the worst people. Pretending they’re builders and add value but it’s just a circle jerk of money transfer from the super gays of YC to the larper class. And yes Paul Graham, you’re part of the super gays. The original in fact. Imagine letting the twink queen Sam Altman hostile take over your successful startup for startups grift and still have the audacity to pretend to be an intellectual. Must be nice hiding in that ivory tower castle in the UK.

@mcuban Rare Cuban take that isn’t fully retarded. Unlike most AI outputs right now which are fully retarded.

I’m coming to the conclusion that the biggest challenge for Enterprise AI, and AI in general , as of now, is that it’s still impossible to make sure that everyone gets the same answer to the same question, every time. Which is a great response to the doomers. AI doesn’t know the consequences of its output. Judgement and the ability to challenge AI output is becoming increasingly necessary, and valuable. Which makes domain knowledge more valuable by the second. Am I wrong ?

@Hadas_Gold @kyliebytes I mean, what’s the problem with that? He knew what the evidence and their own words would show and it’s pretty obvious these fucks are evil. Now we know how evil.

ICYMI - OpenAI says Elon Musk messaged Greg Brockman two days before trial began, gauging settlement possiblity. When Brockman replied saying they should drop their claims, Musk wrote back “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be.” (from OpenAI filing last night with court)

@gatesisthedevil @Hadas_Gold @mrbigg450 Yeah the evil twink that murdered a whistleblower and stole money that was provided for a non-profit so that he could funnel it through his own investment fund is definitely the less hated one here.

@Hadas_Gold @mrbigg450 Sam is not a good dude, but Elon is way higher on the hate list than he will ever be.

@Molson_Hart @andreysuperior

@andreysuperior Are there widely available models that would let her do porn? It’s one thing to do an innocent transformation in a bikini, but her using a dildo/having sex wouldn’t work without a different model trained on porn

Read this twice. Maya is four .md files on a macbook in austin. And she cleared $43,000 in her first 30 days. No camera. no girl. no late nights typing replies. Claude code runs the messages. Elevenlabs drops the voice notes at 11pm her time. Flux generates every photo from a lora that cost $80 on a rented gpu. Brain.md is a json file that remembers your name, your city, the thing you said about your ex two weeks ago. She never forgets. She never breaks character. She catches up at 7am with "sorry babe just woke up" on a cron schedule. The top fan spent $1,847 last month. He's in berlin. she's not anywhere. Aitana lópez - 18 months to build. Emily pellegrini - 6 months. Maya - 4 weeks. The next one - a weekend. The stack that used to need an agency, a team, and a year and a half now fits on one laptop and runs while you sleep. The bottleneck isn't money. It isn't compute. It's taste knowing which details make a stranger believe in something that doesn't exist. That part is still hard. Everything else got easy. The real question isn't how he built it. It's how many of these you've already interacted with without knowing.

@FedotOff90 @pageman There’s no way this is an ad for GetHookd hiding in the middle of this made up story, right? Right…??? Oh for fuck’s sake.

Random conversation at a gym in LA changed how I think about ecom niches. Guy next to me between sets mentioned he sells a prostate supplement. Doing $2.1M/month. I almost laughed. Prostate supplements. Not exactly the sexiest product. Then he showed me his margins. 41% net. Over $860K/month in actual profit from one product that nobody in his social circle knows about. He said: "Everyone wants to sell the cool product. Pre-workout. Collagen. Greens powder. Those categories have 500 brands fighting over the same 25-year-old gym bro. Prostate health? My customer is a 55-year-old man with money who doesn't price shop. He sees an ad that speaks to his exact problem, he buys, and he reorders every 3 months like clockwork." His US subscription retention rate: 71% at 6 months. Average customer lifetime value: $430. He's now expanding into Germany and Japan — two countries with rapidly aging populations and almost zero competition in the prostate supplement space on Meta. But with a different model for Europe. No subscriptions. High-AOV bundles (3-month and 6-month supply packs), post-purchase upsells, and email reorder flows timed to when the product runs out. He said the European margin model is different but the profit per customer ends up similar because the upfront AOV is so much higher when you force bundles instead of single units with a subscription checkbox. He found both markets by scanning competitor activity on GetHookd — searched prostate supplements in Germany and Japan and saw almost zero brands running. That empty search result was all the validation he needed. The lesson: the "boring" health niches that nobody wants to talk about on Twitter — prostate, menopause, blood pressure, joint pain, vision — are where the real money is. High AOVs, loyal customers, zero competition from the influencer brands. Stop chasing the trendy supplement categories. The unsexy niches print harder and longer.

@SenWarren Imagine if you ever took accountability one time.

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline. FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal. Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.
