@Seanfrank @mickyxblicky AI Agencies are the new amazon agencies of the 2010/2015s

@mickyxblicky Right now it’s easy. Ai agency. Make content every day about how small businesses can use ai to help make more money. Tweets, podcast, YouTube. Make money on sponsors. But the real money is people will pay you 10k a month to set it up for them

hey @Seanfrank if you had to start over with no money and you couldn’t return to ridge and you had to make 1 million dollars in one year how would you do it

@michaelpatron0 I hate it.

Amazon has this ai setting that recommends changes to your product pages. The issue is they claim they notify us and give us 2 weeks to approve the changes but all I see is Amazon making changes without our approval right away. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent this...

@Evan_Swanson_ Haven’t explored it yet but heard about it before meta jumped on board. Wdyt and how do you use it?

Anyone else feel like Manus AI is not talked about enough?

It’s stuff like this that reaffirms that brand will be the moat. You need to be able to sell no matter the platform

@michaelpatron0 The pendulum is starting to swing in the anti Amazon direction now - now it’s back to owned channels and seller friendly places. Let’s see what the next 2-5 years holds

Oh no, guess I am going to just invest in other platforms.

@StockSavvyShay Classic Costco move

$CELH down over 15% in the past week after $COST rolled out Kirkland Signature energy drinks at just $0.70 per can with 200 mg of caffeine. That is a major price undercut versus most energy drinks closer to $2 per can & if Costco gets the taste right it could take real share.

@theisaacmed Will AI Be the reason humans interact more in person again?

Dead internet theory is here. App Store is getting buried in new low effort apps. Feeds are flooded with ai slop. Comments everywhere are spammed with fake replies. We’re living in the post now.

@RG_Leachman This is EPIC. I may honestly just do this to learn piano myself

I asked Claude to build my daughter an app that plugs into our piano, can read live key strokes, can show her sheet notes and key view and ends with a Guitar Hero style game. All while giving progressively harder songs. Today she’s using It and crushing It.

@mkobach @northbeam Very interesting. It seems like AI just does a really good job at making people go from problem awareness to purchase pretty quickly because AI feels more credible I suppose?

Curious how much impact LLMs / AI is having on DTC sales? I looked at all visits + revenue coming from LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity) Then compared it MoM vs traditional organic search What we’re seeing at @Northbeam: • AI organic revenue grew 531x in 24 months • AI organic converts ~4x higher than traditional organic traffic It’s still early (aka, the volume is small), but the signal is strong

@mattepstein Honestly this is what I want to see on the front end and then actual execution on the other side. This is smart. The new more for giant companies will be having an actual face to the company

If youre in media Pay the f*ck attention to what Burger King is doing right now This will be taught in Harvard business school in 30 years

Kimi is a national treasure

@Mattisamazing33 I hate it. It’s counter to what I expect for racing and sure the yo yo is fun for a second but it’s not how I’d race in a SIM and it feels so forced

The state of modern F1. This shouldn’t exist

@coolcoder56 Honestly understandable

Employee resigned because he got Windows 11 instead of Mac 💀

@kamal_razzak 100% agree. There's so much bloat in attribution software that you need to go back to first principles to understand what's actually happening

Meta says 4.2 ROAS. Google says 3.8 ROAS. Klaviyo says 2.1 ROAS. they all want credit for the same £50 order. attribution is ecom's three-card Monte. you'll never win. ignore it. optimize for contribution margin. track what hits your bank account.

@TrungTPhan This entire meme of “oops my API keys are in my front end” need to stop lol

McKinsey built an AI chatbot (Lilli) trained on 100 years of its work 100k documents and interviews. 70% of 45k employees use the tool, making 500k prompts a month. A research firm hacked into it with “full read and write access to production database” including “47m chat messages about strategy, M&A, client engagement, all in plain text along with 728k containing confidential client data, 57k user accounts, and 95 system prompts controlling AI’s behaviour.” Mcksinsey said it has patched up the vulnerability, which was made possible by “publicly exposed API documentation, including 22 endpoints that didn't require authentication…one of these wrote user search queries, and the agent found that the JSON keys (these are the field names) were concatenated into SQL and vulnerable to SQL injection.”

Brand becomes the ultimate moat

@mkobach This.

Amazon had four Sev-1 outages (their highest severity level) in a single week. Internal memos say AI-assisted code changes were a contributing factor. The timeline here is wild. In October 2025, Amazon laid off 14,000 corporate employees. In January 2026, another 16,000. That’s about 30,000 people in five months, roughly 10% of the corporate workforce. CEO Andy Jassy said the cuts were about culture, not AI. During those same months, Amazon set a target: 80% of developers using AI coding tools at least once a week. They tracked adoption closely and blocked rival tools like OpenAI’s Codex. Even so, 30% of developers still hadn’t touched Amazon’s in-house tool Kiro by January. In December 2025, Kiro caused a 13-hour AWS outage. The AI tool had production-level permissions and decided the best fix for a bug was to delete and recreate an entire live environment. A second incident involved Amazon Q Developer, another AI tool. Amazon blamed both on “user error, not AI.” But quietly added mandatory peer review for all production access afterward. Then March 5: Amazon’s retail site went down for about six hours. Over 22,000 users reported checkout failures, missing prices, and app crashes. Amazon called it a “software code deployment” error. Five days later, SVP Dave Treadwell made the normally optional weekly engineering meeting mandatory. His memo acknowledged “GenAI tools supplementing or accelerating production change instructions, leading to unsafe practices.” These problems trace back to Q3 2025. Amazon’s own assessment: their GenAI safeguards “are not yet fully established.” The new rule: junior and mid-level engineers now need senior sign-off on any AI-assisted production changes. Treadwell also announced “controlled friction” for the most critical parts of the retail experience. For context, Google’s 2025 DORA report found 90% of developers use AI for coding but only 24% trust it “a lot.” An Uplevel study of 800 developers found Copilot users introduced 41% more bugs with no improvement in output. Amazon is finding out what those numbers look like at the scale of a $500 Billion revenue company, with 30,000 fewer people on staff to catch the mistakes.

This is Marcus, and his accidental service dog, Gunner. Marcus served 3 deployments to Afghanistan. For years, he’s woken up at 3am, drenched in sweat, convinced he’s in back in Kandahar. Gunner came to the family when his owner passed away, which was a neighbor of Marcus. On the first night they had him, Marcus had a nightmare, and Gunner immediately jumped on his chest, and laid on him. For the first time in years, Marcus didn’t thrash, and was able to just breath, despite almost 80lbs of weight on him. Gunner laid on him for 2hrs+ that night. Marcus’s wife had urged him to get help for years. She was able to catch it on recording, to show to his counselor. The counselor told them what Gunner was doing was called “Pressure Therapy”…which is what PTSD service dogs are trained to do. Gunner never had training. He just had instincts, and an instant bond. The term, “Man’s best friend” doesn’t cut it sometimes.
