Is this bad? Because it sounds pretty bad.

@TSolds @andreysuperior I think you're giving people WAY too much credit.

@andreysuperior This is existential for OF. If everyone thinks it is all fake - its user plummet swiftly. Here is hoping for that destructive force to shrivel on a vine.

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.

@jodiecongirl I wouldn't fly Spirit on a bet, but I'm sure gonna miss all the crashout videos.
English
you will never get me away from the idea that this is actually what killed spirit
MAADY@MaadyBK67
The funny thing about “Spirit Airlines” was that a good amount of people used to slander it online for years but was actually using it in real life. Crazy how “elitism” is mainly projected online but not lived offline

@libertarianfilm @shellenberger @RyanHoliday @IvankaTrump TDS has ruined more formidable intellects than any other mind virus.
Many such cases.
English
@shellenberger @RyanHoliday @IvankaTrump I used to watch his videos, but I noticed his political bias even before any of this. For me, it undermined his credibility. I just don't trust his judgment anymore.
English
Stoicism values humility, emotional control, and loyalty to family. And yet America's leading popularizer of it, @RyanHoliday, displays none of those qualities in his angry, TDS-fueled condemnation of @IvankaTrump. He displays an arrogance every wisdom tradition warns against.

@BronzeHoplite @Camp4 @RobertMSterling Not arguing, but I work for a F100 company. Doesn't get much bigger.

@DaveGuilford @Camp4 @RobertMSterling Small companies maybe. Not large ones. And anything owned by PE.

My college roommate, Chris, has worked for the same company his entire career.
For 34 years, he’s punched the clock, lived below his means, and plowed savings into index funds.
If I told you Chris’ net worth, you wouldn’t believe the number.
🛩️ He’s in the PJ class—and he took zero risk to get there.
People on this app glamorize entrepreneurship and belittle 9-to-5 jobs, but remember:
1) There’s massive survivorship bias. You only hear from the 1% who made it, not the 99% who crashed and burned.
2) Most of the loudmouths here aren’t as successful as they portray. (It’s especially true if they’re selling courses and advice.)
For the the vast majority of us, the surest path to success is to be like Chris:
📈 Do ordinary things extraordinarily well for a long period of time.
Discipline and consistency compound. The problem is, most people give up before the returns go exponential.

@kofinas @BradWilcoxIFS The older you get and the more experience you have with people, the less you want to be around them.
English
@BradWilcoxIFS It seems to me that the question being shouted at us in this graph is why aren't old people hanging out with each other, and instead, spending so much time alone?

Just remember: Your coworkers will NOT be there for you in the last chapter of your life.

I don’t understand the adult fascination with Disney, but I’m gonna spend like 5 grand going to and watching Saints games this year, so I’m not gonna judge
The New Yorker@NewYorker
For the most devoted fans, Disney has engineered an ecosystem of financial entanglement that goes far deeper than park tickets or merchandise, which keeps the magic—and the debt—perpetually compounding. In 2023, Ashley, a freshman at Quinnipiac University, in Connecticut, had $15,000 in her bank account. Excited by her newfound freedom as a college student, she decided to start going on solo trips. Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, seemed like an obvious choice. She went during her winter break. Then she returned, six times, in two years. Soon enough, her account balance had dwindled to just five dollars. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many adults who have accumulated Disney debt seem to be chasing a feeling from their childhoods. One woman, who has been to Disney World more than a hundred times, said that visiting the parks takes her back to a time when she had fewer worries: “It’s the nostalgic feeling of what brought you joy when you were little and you didn’t have the stressors of adult life.” Read more about the Disney adults putting themselves in debt for the pursuit of magic: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/_JqtFg

@RyanHoliday I'm not sure what's happening to you, but I genuinely hope you recover from it.
The inexorable law of power is simply thus:
The strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must.

@Dirtdog @antonia_mdprjct MUCH better product. Worth the drive.
English
@antonia_mdprjct We go to In-N-Out 10:1 over Shake Shack because of this. INO is about 3x farther away for us.
English
I just ordered lunch for my family of 7 (wife + 5 kids) at Shake Shack.
It took me 19 min to place my order.
Nobody on earth wants to arrive at a restaurant to then be queued to place an order on a computer. Nobody.
English
@BronzeHoplite @Camp4 @RobertMSterling That isn't true, but I'm also not convinced it's a great idea. My company regularly celebrates 25, 30, and 50 year anniversaries, and I've been there 10 years and it went by in the blink of an eye.
Definitely more rare these days, but still possible at the right company.
English
@Camp4 @RobertMSterling Staying 34 years at the same company is no longer possible.

We need a fancy Greek term for “rule by people who’ve never held a job in the productive economy.”
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…
English
@erichustls Left university and went straight into commission only with no base salary.
Scary at the time, but you build differently when there’s nothing to fall back on. That’s what led me to eventually close over a billion in sales.
English
Do you think Elizabeth Warren has a shred of guilt here or do we think politics are so corrosive that she thinks she’s always in the right
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren
The Big Four airlines (American, Delta, Southwest, United) control 75% of the U.S. market. Fewer choices = higher prices for you.
English
Nice deflection, you've always had a talent for it.
Spirit is no more because Marxists like you and @linamkhan stuck a fork in it when JetBlue might have made a horse race of it.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
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.

@nobrainflip Safest thing to do is sell dollars. Doesn't really matter what you buy with them, the dollar is doomed to lose value. Just about everything will work, because they're printing money like maniacs. It's honestly never been easier.
English
If you’re under 30, I genuinely don’t know what the “safe” life path is anymore.
Buy stocks? S&P is at ATHs.
Buy gold? Near ATHs.
Save cash? Dollar gets cooked.
Buy a house? Housing market is cooked.
Buy bonds? Barely beating inflation.
At this point, crypto is one of the only not overpriced places left
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
BREAKING: The S&P 500 closes at its highest level on record, now up +14.5% since the March 30th bottom. That's +$8.3 TRILLION in market cap in 24 trading days.

@HighyieldHarry @joejumpin911 Genuinely curious about the purpose of this virtue signaling.
What do you get out of it? Serious question.
English
I will not stop until we get the a16z dorks to stop trying to professionalize the R-word.
This is an important societal battle.

@eriktorenberg Why are you guys so obsessed with normalizing this word? Would you feel comfortable saying this in front of a child with learning disabilities?
