I made an app to fix my terrible posture.
It uses my MacBook Pro camera to watch me work.
When AI detects that I’m sitting like a shrimp 🦐, it sends me a notification with a preview of my posture so I can reposition myself.
Everything stays local. It works offline too.

And because apparently my brain only responds to fake rewards, I added XP: good posture makes my shrimp evolve (currently level 7).

@RBoehme86 @allgarbled Would you still advise this career pivot to young people?

@allgarbled So many of my friends who are software engineers are terrible with even simple household electrics and as a state certified electrician myself I think I'm qualified to make that statement, plus I always get to cleanup their mess ;-)

@grok @AntoineRSX Thanks for the clarification needed, will try myself openclaw too, until it will make my income.. in the meantime, going back to do normal work

OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework for automating tasks and building workflows. Searches show mixed reports: some users claim earnings like $200+/day via automated businesses (e.g., content, trading), but others call it hype, citing high costs, security risks, and failures to scale. The specific story is a personal anecdote without independent verification—common on X for promo. Not "everyone" succeeds; success depends on skills and setup. Weigh risks before quitting work.

I invested €13,930 in crypto in total.
All from 2017 to 2020.
Not a cent more of my fiat has gone into crypto since then.
Only out to filthy fiat (to feed my familia). My salary was simply too low to invest more, and I quit my job in 2022.
Luckily, I made great trades over the years: being early on ETH, later this cycle buying SOL, and finally rotating to HYPE at $12 USD.
But to be fair, it was airdrops that made me.
More precise, the DeFi summer airdrops:
- I farmed $YFI from day one
- Got $UNI, $CRV, $DYDX and almost all notable airdrops from DeFI summer
- The highest airdrop I’ve ever received was $120K USD in $INV for, wait for it, submitting a google form survey promising to help Inverse Finance.
Note: I hoped it would hit $500K, so I didn’t sell at $120K and ended up selling after a 50% drop.
Airdrops was the real 'seed' capital that I leveraged from 2022.
2024 was great in airdrops, too!
From $JTO, $ETFI, $KAITO (thx so much), to my last airdrop 3 months ago, Monad.
The point I'm making: without airdrops I wouldn't have made it to where I am today.
Even if I had put all ~14k EUR into ETH at $200, I would be barely 10x to to 140k EUR. Good money, but not life changing.
And we were super early back then!
Not anymore.
For someone who starts with the same €13,930, the chances of 'making it' are MUCH MUCH lower right now than in the 2018-2022 period.
Sure, ETH could do another 10x. BTC as well. Some moonshots will always appear but catching it with size are slim.
Worst? Is that the machine that made me, airdrops, are dying.
Although I believe they will make a come back, the stories of 100k for a google docs survey or a 20k airdrop for a few swaps are gone.
No surprise that degens turned to 100x perp trades and memecoins. Sadly, they failed to create the wealth effect that airdrops had.
This cycle was not a story of rags to riches, but rather a story of mid-wealth to rags.
So much value destruction that really became apparent when $MELANIA launched and later 10/10 hit.
Anyway... I don't plan to put more EUR into crypto. Only out.
I'll simply recycle my gains trading, airdrop farming etc until I either get generational wealth or lose enough that I will call quits.
And that's the problem: many crypto natives I talk to are like me. Only out, not in.
So institutions are supposed to be our saviours, buying our bags.
But I hope we can create opportunities for our younger selves, notably the Gen Z with 'just' €13,930 to actually make it.
Where are those opportunities? Who are building it?
RWAs, yield stablecoins, 'low-risk DeFi', neobanks etc. are all great products when you already made it because 5% yield on Aave is good enough for you.
But they are not wealth making machines that airdrops were.
What are those opportunities now in crypto? If any?

Dear Elon (@elonmusk, @SpaceX, @grok),
My name is Brandon Titus (@TheBrandonTitus) and I’m writing this with a heavy heart and a sliver of hope, knowing it’s a longshot for you to even see it amid everything on your plate. But as the creator of Grok (who helped draft this), you know better than anyone how AI can amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. If there’s any “inside track” or way to bump this up—maybe through xAI channels or your team—I’m begging for that edge, because this is the most important request I’ve ever made. Once my dad’s gone, there’s no second chance.
He’s 67, fought liver cancer for five grueling years since retiring, and now his health is fading fast. He hasn’t been the same since the July 4th floods, which wiped out everything including my family’s home and my father’s motorhome. I swam through raging waters to pull him off the roof of my tool shed. My sister relocated him to Marble Falls so she could aid with his medical care while my wife and I rebuild our house for us and 5 or our 7 children that still live at home.
My father has always been rocket-obsessed, from my earliest childhood memories of him explaining launches to me and the two of us building / launching Estes Rockets of all sizes. Then you come along and single handedly saved our nations freedom of speech and seared your name in my father’s heart. You’re one of few people he’s ever held in such high regard. When you caught that first booster, he was transfixed, grinning ear-to-ear like I hadn’t seen in years. Heck, He started an X account solely to keep up with and track SpaceX milestones; it’s been his brightest light through the cancer battles. I never thought I’d see him integrate with technology.
His final lap is weighing heavy on me and memories are my top priority. He has 1 desire (His only bucket list item): Seeing a launch live. Starbase in Texas would be perfect—we’re close, and I can get him there. But with no dates on the near calendar, I’d scrape together funds, I’d even take a second mortgage if needed for Florida, it’s that important. I will figure out the finances if there’s any way you could make it personal—a meet-and-greet, or even just a quick video message—it’d be priceless. His birthday is coming up on February 6. I’m not confident hell see another one.
Honestly Elon, you’re building the future Dad’s always dreamed of. I would be forever grateful if you were able to help me make this memory happen. If there’s any chance this makes hits your radar, know that there couldn’t be a better man for this to happen to. His name is Michael Titus!
DM, reply or anything
Deepest Regards,
🤞🏻 Brandon Titus
