what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future? maybe we can help!






it's important, i think, to resist the temptation to ship garbage


These next two weeks I’m taking one for the team! 😄 Quick background: I’ve been paid for posting on X in the past. After April 11, my earnings dropped ~90%. I’m completely fine with that — I’m extremely grateful to Elon. I was here long before monetization, and I’d stay even if it disappeared. X is still my favorite platform. That said, I strongly suspect many accounts (including mine) are now effectively blacklisted. I want to test it. Over the past two weeks I increased pure original content by ~30% (streams, gaming clips, photos, questions, and interactions). Impressions stayed similar, but my earnings fell even further. There was zero benefit. I don’t think original content is the issue — many small accounts are doing well with it, and I’ve seen plenty of examples. **My experiment:** For the next two weeks I will post **only 100% original content**. If you enjoy my posts and feel comfortable, please retweet them. If I get little or nothing, it supports my theory: either the AI can’t reliably detect original content, or my account (and many others) is blacklisted regardless of what I post. At the end I’ll share the results and write a wrap-up article. I’ll tag relevant affected accounts. This will probably cost me meaningful earnings (and Soba’s cat food money 😅), but someone has to run the test. Thanks for reading!

I posted 10 AI videos yesterday, reposted someone else’s TikTok, and schedule-posted 4 jokes that went viral in 2016. Why am I not famous yet? App is broken.

Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want. paulgraham.com/ace.html
