Me liking all the posts from my mutuals I haven’t seen in 24 months

@RobertMSterling You’re amazingly kind @RobertMSterling

If you’re a startup founder with a big announcement, let me know and I’ll amplify it for free. No catch. I just want to support the community and pay it forward. You don’t need to pay a bunch of accounts to astroturf your new AI/fintech product or your series B raise. People have caught on to that playbook and it no longer drives engagement (if anything, it kills your credibility). If you’ve got something people are going to be excited about, I’m excited for you. I don’t have the biggest audience (far from it), but I’ve been blessed beyond measure by the community here, and, to the extent I can, I’d love to help. It’s the least I can do. Just shoot me a DM.

@Austen I can’t wait for @nikitabier to go after @finkd and tell him to disclose the paid promotions.

Who the hell is paying $10,000 per tweet and why are they never messaging me?

When you have a proven system, it’s slight tweaks that go from good to great. When you have no system you’re only looking at the tweaks as a shortcut. I’m telling you now. Reverse that thinking. It’s the extra that others won’t do that makes you stand out.

@lindayaX Good to see you back again Linda!

So many of my favorite peeps in my timeline today. You know who you are 😉

@nickeyhorn @RobertMSterling We are back!!

Hey look… my timeline isn’t only AI slop and Robert Sterling memes!

@TheCoolestCool amazing - i've dm'd you :)

@JasonDigital Let’s do it !!

It’s pretty cool to see so many familiar faces back on the feed instead of random bots. The algorithm update is working.

@JustinRFrench hope you're enjoying your break! :)

@JasonDigital Jason is the real deal 🫡🥷The Revenue Ronin

Nobody hires me because I get 5 likes on a post. They hire me because I demonstrate results in: spaces, xchat groups, 1-1 sessions, in group coaching, in lives, in emails You have to find ways to not perform the loudest but be the most obvious x.com/i/spaces/1YGNr…

@Scobleizer @nikitabier So many left - thanks for sticking with 𝕏 and making it an ultra useful corner of tech innovation.

Thanks @nikitabier and the xAI team for a much improved algorithm here on X. For anyone who is seeing me for the first time in a while, I'm now writing about San Francisco AI innovation pretty much all the time. If you want to know the score of the World Cup game or whether we are at war in Iran I'm not your guy. Although I do have lists where you will see those things. (See my "General" lists for that). Speaking of lists. I built the most complete lists of smart people on X: x.com/scobleizer/lis… Just passed 9,000 AI companies on them, and have 50,000 people in just AI. But the most complete lists of crypto, neuroscientists, robotics, security, investors, founders you can find anywhere. @IrenaCronin and I use that to inform our free newsletter, which is at unaligned.io And if you really want to keep up on the AI community here, check out our AI news site at alignednews.com/ai -- the AI agent that @blevlabs and I built reads 30,000 posts here on X every day to make that news site. Everything links back to X. And if you don't care about AI, this is a good time to unfollow me. Because that's what I care about. Oh, and a little Tesla and a little other San Francisco/Silicon Valley innovation thrown in. (I'm about to head to Salinas to see a bunch of farming robots, for instance). Good morning! Been here almost 20 years, and one thing I've learned is the algorithm keeps changing. Which is why I built the lists so I can always see the micro communities here. Love! And if you unfollow, no hard feelings.

@ErikKaiser $3.67 gotta love mystery meat!

Guess the cost in USD exactly, and the winner gets a copy of my book and a first class ticket on Etihad from Milan to anywhere.

A ton more mutuals I haven’t seen for years appearing in my feed now. Come drop by the space later, always welcome. Especially first time spaces speakers! x.com/i/spaces/1YGNr…

@garyvee If you can give without any expectation of anything in return and help one person each day… to me that’s fulfilling.

I know people making $8 million a year that are fucking miserable and hate their life. and I have friends who make $67,000 a year, loving life.. four softball teams and love it. I don’t give a fuck how much money you make. Do you feel pumped as fuck when you wake up??

@jonbrosio Trust is the foundation for every successful system you build. Ask yourself - how can you be the most obvious solution? Then build systems around that.

You can manufacture visibility You can buy attention You can hack growth You cannot manufacture trust. It's the one asset in the creator economy without a shortcut. And therefore is the one asset worth building more than anything else.

@ThatChristinaG Welcome back! Good to see you again!

@mkobach I think it has to be their last shot at this

@jackbutcher It’s all about what you do next and not stopping.

Knowing what to do is a second order effect of doing

@alexfmac @mikebutcher As someone that needed to be everywhere to be able to talk about where the best place is for clients. I can proudly announce I never joined. Not once did a client ever say “what about BS”. lol

@JasonDigital @mikebutcher Turns out bluesky isn’t such a good platform for covering venture capital… 😉

This is a good interview with Max.

@patrick_oshag I love the opening to this and taking the fear out of everything will change the entire experience people have with you.

John Kim has raised over $70 billion in his 30-year career. At General Catalyst, he raised several flagship funds and helped build the firm into one of the largest venture investors in the world. Now he leads fundraising at Lila Sciences, a company building scientific superintelligence. His book The Tao of Fundraising is the definitive guide to attracting capital, and this conversation is a masterclass in it. We discuss: - How General Catalyst built consensus - Why money moves at the speed of trust - Persuasion = desire minus fear - The 3 laws of fundraising - The secret of the GP/LP relationship Enjoy!

@Hitchslap1 Here for the education, the learnings and of course the occasional “why on earth did you post that”.

Getting this triggered over simple facts is honestly wild. Knowledge is power.
