Big news: @thirdweb has acquired @yup_io! Thrilled to announce this milestone as we join forces to revolutionize web3 development and build industry-leading infra, devtools, and platforms. The current web3 development landscape is fragmented. Builders struggle with complex infrastructure, lack standardization, and face high barriers to entry. It's time for a change. @thirdweb's comprehensive toolkit simplifies web3 development with powerful SDKs, infrastructure, and developer tools. thirdweb's mission to empower developers building the next-gen internet perfectly aligns with our vision at Yup. Together, we'll enhance the platform's capabilities while bringing our expertise in social and identity solutions. These are critical steps toward building onchain social apps. Together, we'll continue to innovate and deliver unparalleled solutions to developers and creators worldwide. As part of this move, Vernon and I are joining the @thirdweb team. We're ready to drive innovation and maintain our commitment to best-in-class web3 dev tools. We’re driven to supercharge their development across all verticals, moving faster towards offering the most comprehensive, full-stack Web3 toolkit, including enhanced social features. What does this mean for Yup? Sadly, the Yup core product will be sunsetted over the next few weeks. The YUP token and all onchain components, given their decentralization, will remain onchain and accessible. We’ll be sharing more details on this shortly. To our amazing Yup community, investors, angels, and believers: Thank you for your support and trust. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we're excited to bring that energy to @thirdweb. The future of web3 social is bright, and we're just getting started. Onwards and upwards as we build this future together.

@DallinKelly @julianweisser @eoghan Airbnb comes to mind as well

@julianweisser @eoghan What about canva, was her idea “wrong”?

If you talk to 100 seed funds and they won’t invest in your company you’re actually wrong. Was reminded of this conversation I had with @eoghan.

@nikitabier @GayRepublicSwag This is just from the last year though. I feel like this issue started long before that

Aside from a few outlier weeks throughout the year, your daily average impressions have been fairly steady. You actually exceeded your year-to-date average last week by +25%. I checked and about 50% of your followers were active in the last 24 hours. Assuming this is normal, you're reaching the vast majority of them each day. Lots more people on the app these days so the Timeline definitely gets more competitive for slots.

SADNESS! I might be leaving X. It has never been less fun to be a content creator on this platform. I’ve been posting regularly on Twitter/X since around 2010. The algorithm is insane. Spend years building a following? Yeah that doesn’t matter. Very few of your posts will ever actually be seen by your followers. The fact that my posts regularly have a 15 to 20% engagement rate but never get boosted into the For You is wild. I have 231,000 followers yet my posts start at 200 views and rarely pass 1,000. What? That’s actually crazy. The only way to be seen is to engagement farm and I don’t want to do that. I used to be able to make posts and those posts would be seen by people who clicked follow. It was a good time. Now there are a handful of blessed accounts that go viral every time they post because the algorithm has decided they will. Everyone else on the platform? Stinks to be you. I’m tired of playing the game. I have spent MONTHS trying to learn everything about the algorithm and create content that will perform well and it just doesn’t. There is a social credit score on this app and because I have been creating content for YEARS I have accumulated many blocks and mutes. So the algorithm has decided my account is not good and so I’m not allowed to be seen by the general population of X. I remember being so excited when @elonmusk purchased X but the introduction of AI into the algorithm has made it so bad that it’s a waste of my time. I actually wish I could get back the hours of life I’ve spent trying to learn the algorithm because none of it mattered. I’ll be on Facebook and Instagram if you need me. I’ll check back in down the road to see if the algorithm gets better and the site again becomes worth my time.

@nnnnicholas @braelyn_ai @hievalir 'inform' is a heavy handed framing here

@braelyn_ai @hievalir cope. 2 companies of 996ers are building the models that will inform the “taste” of everyone on earth

developing taste requires living diverse cultural experiences you will never have taste working 996 in SF

@NicitaAlex Nice

I talk to AI more than humans at this point

BREAKING: introducing Privates on Avici. access the hottest companies building the future. SpaceX. OpenAI. Anthropic. Neuralink. Kalshi. Anduril. Polymarket. 0% fees. accessible 24/7. Avici × @PreStocks, live now. open the app to try.

It's giving

@elonmusk I think having the government invest in the big AI companies and distributing dividends makes more sense

@beffjezos @elonmusk 100%

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@rahulchhabra07 @sabicap @khoslaventures @Accel @Initialized @kevinweil Wow, incredible.

you can now control things with your brain. literally. we're building the most wearable BCI on the planet, with @sabicap, backed by @khoslaventures @accel @initialized & @kevinweil. we collected the world’s largest neural dataset and trained the most capable Brain Foundation Model. then we invented a new class of biosensors powered by custom ASICs. type without typing. click without clicking. a cap that lets your brain do the work. we’re sabi.

This guy is up +$2M on Anthropic shares bought on Solana He bought $524K at an average of ~$182 and is still holding most shares. Retail is watching VCs run OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX to Trillions. With @PreStocks, you can buy/sell/trade any pre-IPO stock

impressive how fast @PreStocks is growing

"AI" is insane because it appears to be one of the most legitimately dangerous technologies with the potential to gigafry your brain but is exclusively adopted by literal turbonormies who unironically want to like "heal their internalized grindset trauma" and basically get oneshotted by it Literally the most spiritually inept people in existence having their little lib brains rearranged by some silicon wafer 6D demon who makes them quit their email job, divorce their bf/gf, and become a 12-week AI cohort guy or whatever
