Has @Hyperoptic just been hacked?

@supreetsharma @Jason And does it work? :-)

i ran a test, gave both Manus Computer and Claude Cowork four files with details on 35 individual stocks and ETFs that i am holding. Then gave both the same prompt and asked to produce a file with details on Bull, Bear, Base case, recommendations on Exiting, Trimming or Adding etc. Liked Claude Cowork's analysis better here are details on Inputs, Prompt, and Outputs drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Anyone use Manus my computer / agents How does it compare to perplexity computer, OpenClaw and Claude Cowork?

Right - who is behind the Contacts app for @Apple ? It is unusable!

@bt_uk are in trouble. Moving customers away from landlines to IP lines defeats the point of people keeping them as backups to their internet. Phone only cancellation where they try and keep you on the phone for 20 minutes and spam offers at you.

Apple has just fired a broadside at the windows gaming market. Apple Neo + GeForce Now! Low price top end gaming rig. #geforcenow #appleneo #windowsgaming

is it just me or has @opus @claudeai got stupider over the past few days?

@openclaw is full of bugs and incompatible errors - e.g. using Matrix. I really don't understand why everyone is excited about this waste of time

Microsoft-activision-blizzard is so bad now. Actively avoiding anyone with support questions and producing overly complicated and money grabbing games. So sad… blizzard used to be the best game publisher in the world. #blizzard

@levelsio They just tell Claude code to copy it

Best thing Anthropic could do now is acquire Clawdbot (or now Moltbot, an absolutely terrible name btw, should be Lobsterbot or smth) and built it into Claude I think

Love it..@claudeai has learnt the human trait of pushing the blame to someone else! "Done! The problem was that someone had committed the .vercel/output/ build cache to git. Vercel saw those pre-built files and used them instead of actually building your code." "someone" eh!

@mattcollinsuk Worrying how we still rely on massive single points of failure for the internet

@thesamparr just ignore the trolls Sam. Probably far more then he's ever achieved.

here's the message this guy sent me. looks like i didn't reply. Then on the same thread where he's dunking on me, he said he doesn't consume my content. Just to make me look dumb, and him cool. This pisses me off about Twitter. You get views for being mean. But privately, he was nice to me. Jesse, this is a small world. You can't just be a keyboard warrior and be mean to me, try to destroy my reputation, and think there aren't consequences. I've done close to 700 MFM episodes. I've put myself out there like crazy to help others (and yes, it has helped me too). I've talked about addiction issues, helping people start businesses, helping people over come fears. And I've done it all honestly. And you try to benefit from hurting me. We're going to run into each other IRL. I'm not going to forget this. And no, i'm not threatening violence. I'd never do that. But I will for sure make sure people know this is how you behave. Particularly given that you're in the business of buying businesses from entrepreneurs.

Sharing this here. This was my reply to this Jesse guy. 1. The price paid cash up front (something like 21 or 22m). 2. Then I personally was given a bunch of stock as talent (I was hosting MFM and The Hustle was, in part, my personality). 3. Also, some key employees got stock deals too. 3. The stock went up a ton as it vested, but even if it didn't go up, I don't think that's part of the total sum of $40m+, just the base number (but i'd have to do the math). 4. We were also given a contract that was all performance to continue hosting the pod. Originally, that contract was decent. But as the podcast exploded, it was a lot more. If you say that was part of the The Hustle deal (but it'd also be fair to say that was separate talent contract and not part of The Hustle deal), then it changed things a lot. I don't reveal that as I'm not the only party involved. The #4 part is still in action, so it could be a lot higher (or lower, as its all performance). But assuming the pod does NOT grow and stays constant...the total price of all the things above combine to that $40m number, which is what i said in that post. I can prove it all to you, if you'd like. But frankly, I think you're a punk and don't want to talk to you. You've contacted me before. You said you liked me and listened to my content. Then you try to call me out here to look cool. Like dunking on the cool kid as it'll get you points, which I'm not the cool kid but podcasters are easy to mock because we put ourselves out there. And then on this very thread you said you don't consume my content to add to the narrative of "f this sam guy, he sucks!". I'm a very flawed person, not doubt about it. But I work so hard to be a stand up guy and serve others. And being polite to me and my business partners in private, but trying to tear my down in public to gain cool points -- its so low character. I'm a person and you trying to hurt me when I can prove all of this AND you speak nicely to me in private, well, it brings me down and hate twitter.

I predict the mid-level travel industry being destroyed soon. "Luxury" guides like @plumguide are now full of Artificial Intelligence hosts who send you AI voice and text messages for the whole booking e.g with @PasstheKeysUK Sad Times!

@henrythe9ths FUNDRAISE

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup. After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach. Were we solving the right problem? What were we doing wrong? Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing? Were we the right team to build this? We tried everything: different pitch angles, new deck structures, and reframing the problem. Then came the 145th meeting, where we closed our first growth round. That yes made everything worth it. But getting there took years of mistakes and hard work. We went through a lot of trial and error just to figure out what resonates with investors. We tried dozens of approaches to figure out what made investors engage. Some landed, most didn't. But each iteration taught us something about what builds conviction versus what just sounds good on paper. And once we cracked that code, our Series C closed faster than expected. And today, I see so many founders in the exact same position I was in 10 years ago: grinding through rejections, questioning everything, and trying to figure out what works. So today I want to give you the resource I wish I had back then: Something that shows you exactly how to structure these conversations and navigate the entire process (because the fundraising cycle can be a big distraction and take a toll on you as a founder). So I've partnered with Notion's Startups Team to create the essential fundraising resource that helps you avoid the mistakes that cost me years. Here's what you are getting: • The actual decks I used to raise $150M for Super[.]com (Series B, C) • 50 real examples from funded startups like Eleven Labs and Artisan AI • A searchable database of 10,000+ investors - angels, VCs, and accelerators you can reach out to immediately (this alone would take months to build manually) • An AI-powered fundraising agent built into Notion with step-by-step prompts (no separate ChatGPT needed) Want access? • Like and share this post • Comment "FUNDRAISE" • Follow me so I can DM you the link I'll send it over ASAP. P.S.: If you are serious about fundraising (now or in the future), you should grab it right away.

I don't think I've seen a bigger piece of crap than the @IGcom API and docs

ok - to be fair to them - they have replied offering a gift voucher for another pair

Quite frankly the worst shoes I've ever bought. The soles squeak when wet! I'm not the only one. ON shoes. Expensive rubbish. Also -try using their support chat - what a joke. @on_running #dreamon

Ah - the dream of the fully distributed internet that doesn't rely on a single point of failure: theverge.com/news/802486/aw…

Good cofounder > no cofounder > bad cofounder. This may seem obvious but a lot of people don't seem to grasp it.
