@eglyman If this is you we wanna build together

We only hire builders (and we’re on a hiring spree)! Reply with something you've built. I'll read them personally. We’re interviewing the best ones. You’ll be a good fit if you: - work best without permission - default to “how could I automate this” - had weird teenage hobbies - spend your sunday making side projects - have more Claude agents than cousins - shipped something this week - make prototypes, not powerpoints - don’t like hierarchy - are good at games: chess, monopoly, poker - would take dinner with Elon over $100k Good luck, Eric

We built a codebase that maintains itself. An agent instruments every pull request, triages alerts, and pushes fixes autonomously. The system runs on a thousand AI-generated monitors, one for every 75 lines of code.

@2024dion Almost every person/family i know who has moved to a place like this has done so against their will because it’s the only place they could afford

Urbanists have been gleefully posting this meme every time there’s been an uptick in gas prices for decades now and yet people just keep moving to places like this

Funny you mention lemonade stands. My kids just launched theirs on Ramp. $5K ARR after day one. Currently raising a Series A. Investors: DM me. They're very serious about unit economics. Margins on lemonade are unreal. Fully vertically integrated with lemons growing in the backyard.

@tryramp Ramp? The lemonade stand??

Lemonade stand serving a full suite of lemon products to over 50,000 lemon operators

My poppop Ed Molnar passed away last month. I made this video from his camcorder tapes to give folks a window into his “wonderful life,” as he liked to call it. The imprint he left on our family, and community, is immeasurable - and I’m so grateful I had 34 good years with him.

@curreniyer You’re rehired

If you’re running a business in Europe or the UK, we bring good news from across the Atlantic. @tryramp launches locally this summer. We’re setting up shop and the waitlist is open. The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year. Europe’s most ambitious companies deserve the same.

BREAKING

Steak-umm has been reborn

@mnolangray The future of urbanism is in good hands 😮‍💨 bless youse

Well, this puts a lot of things in context.

@sukh_saroy “You're not renting a productivity boost. You're financing it with your originality.” LMAOO

🚨BREAKING: If you've used ChatGPT for writing or brainstorming in the last 6 months, your creative ability may already be permanently damaged. A controlled experiment just proved the effect doesn't reverse when you stop using it. 3,302 creative ideas. 61 people. 30 days of tracking. Researchers split students into two groups. Half used ChatGPT for creative tasks. Half worked alone. For five days, the ChatGPT group outperformed on every metric. Higher scores. More ideas. Better output. AI was making them better. Then day 7. ChatGPT removed. Every creativity gain vanished overnight. Crashed to baseline. Zero lasting improvement. But that's not the bad part. ChatGPT users' ideas became increasingly identical to each other over time. Same content. Same structure. Same phrasing. The researchers called it homogenization. Everyone using ChatGPT started producing the same ideas wearing different clothes. When ChatGPT was removed, the creativity boost disappeared -- but the homogenization stayed. 30 days later, same result. Their creative range had been permanently compressed. Five days of use. Permanent damage 30 days later. A separate trial confirmed it. 120 students. 45-day surprise test. ChatGPT users scored 57.5%. Traditional learners scored 68.5%. AI reduces cognitive effort. Less effort means weaker encoding. Weaker encoding means less creative raw material. You're not renting a productivity boost. You're financing it with your originality. The interest rate is permanent.

It’s sad because those who grew up online posting for the love of the game are aging (and drowning) out. They still exist among all ages, of course, but mostly as counterculture minorities. Meanwhile platforms keep pushing worse algorithm incentives that become the new norm

The attention economy is old news, but algorithm hacking in recent years has sucked the soul from social media. Virality used to be more art than science. Now it’s a gamified race to the bottom, paved by astroturfing and low hanging fruit. Manipulation > creativity.
