this raised us

@bitfloorsghost The realest.

man I love seeing other dads out with their kids having a blast, such a great feeling, dad empathy is real

@bitfloorsghost Thank youuuuuu. You've been a big part of my life these past 5 years and I'm better off for it.

Craig has been one of my best friends here since we met in a now defunct NFT project’s discord, one of 3 other people I have a group text with and talk to every day and have for years now Great guy, great follow

@bitfloorsghost ❤️

the people i text the most have never met my family, don't know what i look like without a hat on, have watched me stress over every major decision of the last four years, and we met on the internet in 2021

@bitfloorsghost Same. I’m so fond of perplexity computer rn, as well.

haven’t been as excited about something like Claude code since I discovered crypto in 2012 people talk about ai rot but the reality is it’s just so exciting to be bursting with so many ideas, that’s the reason you wake at 3am and can’t get back to bed

we ruined such a good thing

🙏

@tyschmit Feels right

I know there’s an incredible amount of recency bias, but is this a top 10 baseball game of all-time?

The Dominican Republic’s starting lineup has just 3 hits in 27 career at-bats (.111) against Paul Skenes 😳 Stat line prediction for tomorrow? 👇

tony hawk landed a 900 in 1999 and shocked the world kids land them on youtube now for 200 views inflation hit everything

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing. 86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

this is fucking WILD. Nvidia just dropped an article breaking down how AI works at an industrial level (save this): >AI runs on 5 layers: energy → chips → infrastructure → models → applications >we’re a few hundred billion in. trillions still need to be built >this buildout needs electricians, plumbers, steelworkers. not just engineers >every company will use it. every nation will build it stop calling it a tech trend. this is a full scale industrial revolution and most will catch on but by then it’s too late.

YouTube just crossed $60B in revenue for 2025. $40B from ads. $20B from subscriptions. Both numbers are growing double digits. The math here tells you everything about how Google actually views its users. 2.7 billion people use YouTube every month. 125 million pay for Premium. That’s 4.6% of the user base generating a third of total revenue. Google’s own executives said on their Q4 earnings call that a Premium subscriber generates “meaningfully higher gross profit” than an ad-supported user. So YouTube’s real optimization function is straightforward: make the ad experience painful enough that the 4.6% who can afford $14/month convert to Premium, while keeping it tolerable enough that the other 95.4% still watch long enough for advertisers to extract value. This is a toll booth that charges both directions. Advertisers pay to get in front of you. You pay to make them go away. And YouTube takes a cut of both transactions on the same piece of content, from the same viewer session, off the same infrastructure. The subscription business alone is now generating ~$20B annually across Premium, YouTube Music, and YouTube TV. That’s bigger than Spotify’s entire revenue. And it grew 25% year over year, adding roughly 2 million new paying subscribers per month through 2024. The advertisers aren’t getting scammed either. YouTube controls 12.4% of total TV viewing time in the US. Shorts pulls 70 billion daily views. The ad side grew 9% to $40B. Both sides of the market are expanding because YouTube is the only platform where the product being sold to advertisers (your attention) is the same product being sold back to you (your attention, uninterrupted). That’s a $60B business built on one insight: attention is the only asset you can sell twice.

She gets it
