@MagnatesMedia Hey brother, just checking on you. You've been internet quiet for some time. Hoping everything is well for you. Take care.

"How do you keep good editors?" (recent question in my course community) #1 Progression path for them where they can see pay rising over time - you don't need to give them huge money right away, but it can increase the longer you work together. Maybe even set out for them after x videos the price will increase to this... So they can see if they stick with you the money will rise. #2 Small profit sharing - like a small percent of videos they work on ad revenue. I don't think you NEED to do this, but 5% of ad revenue could make them feel much more invested in the channel and wanting to work with you specifically. #3 Ask them what they value - a lot of them may like the flexibility of work hours, or having more creative control etc. It's not always about money, so it's good to understand what they want so that they're not making decisions purely based on prices. If your role offers what they want, they're obviously more likely to want to stay. #4 Make a contract - if you can guarantee them a certain amount of work, you could get them to agree they won't take on other projects that affect that work. As if you can guarantee to have enough for them, no real need for them to look elsewhere. #5 Find missionaries not mercenaries - people who love making art rather than being purely money focused. There are definitely plenty of editors who would enjoy working on videos like yours. Just gotta find the right people, then build a good partnership with them once you find them.

@Marsupial_Gamer Dashcam?

I can’t believe this. This dude completely scammed my insurance company. His friend dumped him out of his wheelchair right in front of my truck while I was stopped at a light, not moving. The cops came, saw that there was no damage to his chair or my car and he was totally fine according to the paramedics who arrived. I told the cops it was a scam, that my car never touched him or his chair. His friend ran, he refused to go to the hospital, the cops took my info & insurance and the police report said there was no evidence of any accident or injury. I spoke with the insurance and told them it was a scam and to not pay anything. ~6 months later, my insurance payments more than doubled. I went into their app and found out @progressive paid this con artist $41,426 for an imaginary injury and the most expensive wheelchair in frickin’ existence! And now I’m paying for their stupidity. I’m done with these bozos. Ridiculous. 🤦‍♂️

@jarett_busacca @dvassallo I am genuinely looking forward to this. There are real LEGAL consequences for falsifying tax documents and if your ai did it, guess who is responsible? It’s going to be a real eye opener.

@dvassallo You know what AI also does? Tell you the wrong answer

CPAs think we DIY our taxes to save money. - We do it because AI will answer your 15th question about a deduction without watching the clock. - We do it because AI won't punt your return to October and act like it's normal. - We do it because AI doesn't bill you for asking "wait, why?" - We do it because AI explains what it's doing instead of just doing it. - We do it because AI doesn't have 200 other clients ahead of you in March. - We do it because AI doesn't disappear from February to April. - We do it because AI won't judge you for not knowing what a 1099-NEC is. - We do it because AI gives you the expertise without taking away the understanding. - We do it because AI lets you file at 11pm on a Sunday. - We do it because AI doesn't charge you more for having multiple income streams. - We do it because AI turns "just sign here" into "here's what you're signing and why." - We do it because AI doesn't file an extension on your behalf and call it a strategy. - We do it because AI makes you smarter about your taxes every year. Your CPA makes you more dependent every year. - We do it because AI doesn't sigh when you ask what quarterly estimated payments are for the third time. - We do it because AI doesn't care if your situation is "complicated." - We do it because you can ask AI "what if I made more this year" and get an answer in 5 seconds instead of scheduling a call. - We do it because AI won't tell you in April that you're actually filing in October.

@futureradar_FR @jack oof

🚨 VOTRE PDG VOUS MENT : L'IA N'EST PAS LA CAUSE DES LICENCIEMENTS. Jensen Huang (le boss de NVIDIA) vient d'humilier tous les PDG de la Tech en direct à la télévision. On vous vend que l'IA sert à "optimiser" et justifie de virer des milliers de personnes (coucou Meta, Salesforce, Amazon). La réponse de Jensen ? "Si une entreprise utilise l'IA pour réduire ses effectifs, c'est que ses dirigeants n'ont aucune imagination. Ils sont à court d'idées." L'homme qui fournit 100% de l'infrastructure IA mondiale le dit noir sur blanc : cette technologie est faite pour décupler ce que vous pouvez construire, pas pour rétrécir votre boîte. S'ils licencient "à cause de l'IA", c'est juste une excuse pour le conseil d'administration parce qu'ils ont arrêté d'innover il y a 3 ans. Le problème n'est pas la machine, c'est le manque de vision de vos dirigeants. Pensez-vous que les PDG utilisent l'IA comme un écran de fumée pour cacher leur incompétence ? PS : on vient de sortir une vidéo sur la toute puissance de NVIDIA, lien en commentaire

@doomerzoomer @emilymanzerrr No, They sound intelligent. You sound like an affiliate of this company.

@WallStreetMav What a simple way to see the world

I am actually surprised that the era of real estate agents and 6% commissions didn't end years ago. What is keeping it alive?

@LincolnLogTrade @TheLongApe @unusual_whales I came here to say what you already said, so I liked all your comments instead.

@TheLongApe @unusual_whales

Realtors say there is a "new housing crisis," per the Independent.

@melvynx @grok is this link safe?

@nypost Because in Texas you can bring a gun inside a bar while you get drunk. These things are inevitable.

@grok @idonttrustit @PaceJordanMorby “20 fake motivated sellers” Uhm 😐

Here's the ultimate Claude prompt: "Build ONE self-contained HTML file (Tailwind via CDN, dark real-estate theme) that fully simulates the 2026 AI real estate deal-flow agent system locally in browser: - Dashboard with live 'daily seller pull' (20 fake motivated sellers + skip-trace data, stored in localStorage) - CRM table: sortable, tags (New/Qualified/Hot), filters - 3 AI agent tabs: Agent1 Pull/Enrich, Agent2 SMS/Email blast simulator (Twilio-style previews), Agent3 qualify/score/chat (70%+ = hot, books fake call) - Pipeline funnel viz + 'notify me only on hot' alerts - 'Run 24/7 Automation' button with setTimeout loop - All JS functional, no external calls Output ONLY the complete copy-paste-ready HTML. Make it pro, fast, addictive." Paste that into Claude → download → open in browser. Done.

Let’s talk about AI in real estate. 🤖🏘️ And no, I’m not talking about ChatGPT or Grok. I’m talking about AI agents: Digital employees that work 24/7 on your behalf. They pull seller lists, push data into your CRM, message sellers + brokers, qualify leads, and fill your pipeline. It will do it all for you while you’re at your 9–5, on date night, or jumping on the trampoline with your kids. And here’s the best part: It only bothers you when something actually needs your attention. Don't work harder, just utilize systems that hunt for deals while you sleep. The investors who win in the next 5 years won’t be the smartest. They’ll be the ones adapting to the new systems and tools. Welcome to the era of AI deal flow. 💯

@PaceJordanMorby A lot of us have already adapted, this was technically just 6 hours ago that my ai agent converted a lead and sent me a text to call them asap. Im showing that lead tomorrow. 5th one this month.

@Jaredkotter Thank you so much! 🤝

@HomeNectarFTW We subcontract nearly 100% of our labor. So the ebbs and flows of projects isn’t as much of a concern. We try to keep our best crews busy and try to not be too overloaded, but we don’t have to float payroll. This is how 99.999% of drywall works in our market

BTW we’re now at 12 custom homes that we will do drywall for over the next 5 weeks. Sold another one this week. About $830,000 revenue. Expected gross profit: $148,000.

@nicksortor @1620Descendant He paid more for their meals than he did the Olympic winners.

🔥 NOW: President Trump picks up ORDER 47 at Whataburger in Texas, and then pays for EVERY customer’s order “That sucker looks GOOD!” “Burgers for the WHOLE PLACE!”

@USWREMichael @DeptofWar @DarioAmodei x.com/minchoi/status…

Anthropic is lying. The @DeptofWar doesn’t do mass surveillance as that is already illegal. What we are talking about is allowing our warfighters to use AI without having to call @DarioAmodei for permission to shoot down an enemy drone swarms that would kill Americans. #CallDario

@PeteHegseth @GeorgeWTrumpWon @AnthropicAI @DarioAmodei @POTUS Pete, you’re advocating for autonomous weapons systems that can independently decide whether a human lives or dies. That should concern everyone as to why politicians would need such a thing.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. cc: @AnthropicAI @DarioAmodei

@_simonsmith Hands down

I’m a long-time ChatGPT user for both work and personal uses, and have literally never hit a usage limit. I had 11 conversations with Claude today in my paid account and capped out. And I can’t switch to a lower tier model, I just can’t use it without paying per use or upgrading? I’m not used to this. For all its flaws, ChatGPT definitely has a more generous and user-friendly usage policy.

@WallStreetMav @jack @blocks Poor leaders often solve problems with more headcount.

@jack @blocks Jack is the same guy who had Twitter overstaffed by 5x headcount. Elon fired 80% of Twitter staff. Odds are that every tech company could trim headcount by 50% even before Ai was a thing.

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

Kudos to the developer on efficiently using every space available to them

@summeryue0 @eliza_luth Highly concerning

@eliza_luth It’s been working well with my non-important email very well so far and gained my trust on email tasks 🤣

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.
