@rl_env I wanna meet the sales guy for ADP payroll

The worst sales people work at OAI or Ant The best work at Atlassian, Workday, Netsuite It takes an enormous amount of skill to sell something so bad

@0x_claudia Spot on. Why are you giving away this alpha?

@webdevMason I remember being told in kindergarten that we wouldn’t have bananas by 2010 due to climate change

Like all middle class millennials, I was tormented in school by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the unimaginably enormous trash island created specifically by my family's reckless and indifferent use and discarding of disposable and consumer plastics

Waffle House in the Atlanta airport would go so hard

@maxekaplan Bc you’re not compensated for holding a riskier currency

Explain this like I’m a dumb American Why is there no demand for stables that are backed by anything other than USD?

@justalexoki @jenklu12 Your free trial is this way sir

@Joshmbivins @jenklu12 they will take you out back and literally shoot you

Anthropic sales call was goated. 15 mins. Guy shows up basically says “It is what it is, player. Here is the link to sign up.” Then bounces.

@coldhealing Good will hunting vibe

We need to normalize telling your boss you're in love with a girl who lives across the country and you need to work remotely for a month to see if it can happen between the two of you

@jenklu12 Ask them for a free trial and see what happens

@Joshmbivins Someone at our company recently sent like 5 emails back and forth trying to negotiate price. Seems like they basically don't give any discounts unless you're signing up AT LEAST 200+ people lol

@noyesclt Meta needs to explore their own 1st party wallet and closed ecosystem stablecoin.

The vision of David Marcus Libra finally comes true.. with Stripe and Tempo. Expect Whats app to follow?

Does anyone know how to get stabelcoins into @link? I can’t find any onramps in the mobile app.

@dwr @exk200 Big day for Link!

Why Link is a big step forward for consumer crypto - 250 million consumers have a Link wallet with a stored fiat payment method. - It supports a global set of payment methods like cards and bank accounts, as well as UPI, PIX, etc. - It now stores stablecoins (on Tempo!) in a consumer-friendly UX. No complicated addresses required. Just a digital dollar balance that can be spent at 5 million merchants. - It’s agent-native. The 5 million Stripe customers (as well as anyone who supports MPP) can immediately accept payments from agents using Link with no additional work. Virtually *every* leading AI company is a Stripe customer and works with Link. Ultimately, this is crypto as plumbing providing faster, cheaper and global without any consumer behavior change necessary.

@TheStalwart Bc it requires derivative thinking and people aren’t good at that

This might a dumb question but why do people talk about Apple not being a player in AI at the same time as people talk about Macs instantly selling out because people use them for self-hosting LLMs?

@staysaasy Dividends are a pretty inefficient way to return capital to shareholders. I'd look at the net between buybacks and SBC.

Here’s a fun question. How many tech companies founded in the last 20 years have ever actually returned profit to investors (via dividends).

He’s pumping California real estate now

ChatGPT feels completely slopified now

@ImmutableLawyer 👀

Before you build a stablecoin product, go work at a Payments & FX Firm for at least a year (minimum). Then, and only then, go and ship. The amount of data points that you will get on what can be optimised will definitely change the product you had in mind a year prior (this is a guarantee).

@Nick_Davidov Not just engineers. Even non-technical roles are getting stack ranked on token usage.

Apparently in February Meta started urging its engineers to use Claude Code and started ranking engineers by token spend. people at GCP started seeing billions of tokens per minute coming from Meta, which might now be as big as 1/4 of all token spend in Anthropic.

@AlexH_Johnson My 6 year old blew her $25 trump deposit on 0dte $tsla options

Fuck. This is very very bad. These accounts are a huge public policy achievement and gambling apps like Robinhood shouldn't be allowed within 100 square miles of them. Fuck.
