- Drafted a blog post
- Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours.
- Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing!
- Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite.
- LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true.
- lol
The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

Exporting my Spotify songs to give to Claude for local concert recommendations felt like a great idea until I realized even niche bands at small venues now cost $150 a ticket. Ouch.

Sora is shutting down but we will always have the clip of Jesus winning an Olympic Gold in swimming by walking on water

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

@OnyxOdds The fact he’s played in roughly 30% of NBA seasons is just insane

@JohnMatwey @andrewchen Immediately I thought of brands like Apple / Palmolive / Solo Stove / Claude (for consumer, not B2B) where paid media and marketing stunts helped launch dominant brands.
But I think Andrew’s point was around transaction driving media, where costs scale with sales.
English
@andrewchen @andrewchen How does this apply to a company like Apple, which has consistently advertised? The iconic "think different" ads come to mind. Weren't they going up against the established firms such as IBM? Perhaps that is an exception to the rule?
English
lots of AI cos starting to experiment with paid marketing so here’s my take:
Paid acquisition is a tax on your product's defensibility. the moment you can't out-spend the incumbents and competitors, you die. build channels that get cheaper as you grow or you're just renting your growth

@KyleADOlson @TVGrimReaper Don’t they already charge kind of a lot?
English
@TVGrimReaper If companies believe there's a problem with The Gauge, they should fund improvements for Nielsen.
With enough funding, I'm sure Nielsen could make the methodology exactly as correct as a company wishes.
English
The Gauge is primarily marketing for Nielsen.
But it’s also creates a PR narrative around success/ decline for the companies involved.
That’s why they’re upset about the methodology changes. It effects the *perception* of their businesses.

@KendraEBarnett @bandemedia Don’t you think you might be missing a bigger story here?

@RioLongacre Completely - I wish TTD luck on fighting to fix principal trading agreements within the ecosystem. It’s broken.
But calling this into question now is like waging open war with HoldCos, which I can’t see as beneficial for TTD, short or longterm.
English
@JaredMagid Yep. Everyone knows PBM is probably wrong, but it’s the most fool-proof of way to make money in the media business while offering clients super low CPMs they are increasingly demanding. Take it away and the agency model is on shaky ground.
English
@RioLongacre HoldCo reaction to Jeff Green comments on Principal Trading next week are going to be interesting
English
@RioLongacre Going to war with HoldCos is probably not great if most of your top clients are working with HoldCos
