Brandon Titus@TheBrandonTitus·
Dear Elon (@elonmusk, @SpaceX, @grok), My name is Brandon Titus (@TheBrandonTitus) and I’m writing this with a heavy heart and a sliver of hope, knowing it’s a longshot for you to even see it amid everything on your plate. But as the creator of Grok (who helped draft this), you know better than anyone how AI can amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. If there’s any “inside track” or way to bump this up—maybe through xAI channels or your team—I’m begging for that edge, because this is the most important request I’ve ever made. Once my dad’s gone, there’s no second chance. He’s 67, fought liver cancer for five grueling years since retiring, and now his health is fading fast. He hasn’t been the same since the July 4th floods, which wiped out everything including my family’s home and my father’s motorhome. I swam through raging waters to pull him off the roof of my tool shed. My sister relocated him to Marble Falls so she could aid with his medical care while my wife and I rebuild our house for us and 5 or our 7 children that still live at home. My father has always been rocket-obsessed, from my earliest childhood memories of him explaining launches to me and the two of us building / launching Estes Rockets of all sizes. Then you come along and single handedly saved our nations freedom of speech and seared your name in my father’s heart. You’re one of few people he’s ever held in such high regard. When you caught that first booster, he was transfixed, grinning ear-to-ear like I hadn’t seen in years. Heck, He started an X account solely to keep up with and track SpaceX milestones; it’s been his brightest light through the cancer battles. I never thought I’d see him integrate with technology. His final lap is weighing heavy on me and memories are my top priority. He has 1 desire (His only bucket list item): Seeing a launch live. Starbase in Texas would be perfect—we’re close, and I can get him there. But with no dates on the near calendar, I’d scrape together funds, I’d even take a second mortgage if needed for Florida, it’s that important. I will figure out the finances if there’s any way you could make it personal—a meet-and-greet, or even just a quick video message—it’d be priceless. His birthday is coming up on February 6. I’m not confident hell see another one. Honestly Elon, you’re building the future Dad’s always dreamed of. I would be forever grateful if you were able to help me make this memory happen. If there’s any chance this makes hits your radar, know that there couldn’t be a better man for this to happen to. His name is Michael Titus! DM, reply or anything Deepest Regards, 🤞🏻 Brandon Titus

Nano Banana + Kalodata + Kling = AI Content Factory No actors. No photo shoots. No ghost creators. No wasted samples. Just hundreds of shoppable TikTok videos going live every single day — automatically. And here’s the wild part: This system produces 300+ product-ready TikTok Shop ads per day from a single prompt. It feels exactly like running Facebook Ads in 2008… except the CPMs are even lower and the entire loop is organic Why this works • ultra low CPMs possible with our content templates • No paid ads needed • No delays, no bottlenecks • Hundreds of creator-style profiles all selling your product 24/7 • GMV compounds weekly because posting never stops • Cost per video: about $5-8 compared to $50-100 for human creator content and compared to $30+ with influencer ai software The traditional tiktok shop scale methods are broken: - influencers charge more than they actually make for the brands - influencer ai video softwares still charge too much per video to justify uploading 300 videos per day Those softwares are meant for meta ads, NOT for scaling on tiktok shop Plus there is no framework to script, edit, or post all those videos… All are things you need since tiktok shop requires massive volume. Your eCom CPG brand can actually make $1m+ on tiktok shop.. however it will require 10k+ videos with proper strategy behind them Here’s the simplest $300/month ai workflow that replaces a $50k+ monthly content budget for ecom brands: 1. kalodata: scrape for viral videos of similar or same products 2. manus → product research + viral hooks + influencer images 3. kling 2.6 motion control → full AI videos • reel farm/n8n → autoposting (testing now) How the full TikTok Shop AI agent system👇 1. Each Agent creates a TikTok Shop–ready profile + avatar Built to look like real creators — optimized for shoppable videos. 2. Agents research, clone, and rebuild winning TikTok Shop content They scrape your niche using a spyware tool like Fastmoss → extract the hooks/angles and upload the video to Manus. 3. Upload your new influencer avatar and the video inspo to Kling 2.6 Motion control, click generate Using n8n or reel farm, agents can post daily across hundreds of accounts Then we deploy the Multi-Platform Swarm (MPS) When a concept hits on TikTok Shop → instantly spin up AI Agents to blast variations across every platform. Everything links back to your TikTok Shop. GMV scales practically on autopilot. (obviously we manage this process, but ai can do the heavy lifting) Results • Thousands of organic views daily • 100–200 shoppable videos posted per day • Entire human creative teams replaced This is the AI Creator Agent Method — the fastest way to scale TikTok Shop in 2026. I packaged the full Agentic Influencer System for free. Every workflow. Every prompt. Every tool. Plug-and-play. Comment “Agent” and I’ll send it to you. (Must be connected) PS: Repost for early access to the full Agentic TikTok Shop stack.

John Gargiulo@JohnnotJon·
Today, we’re launching Airpost. I’m 46. That’s not a cool age to found a startup. At least according to Twitter. I still call it Twitter. I’ve loved advertising all my life. Since I was 19 and my mom told me about a movie called “Nothing in Common” with Tom Hanks where he plays an ad exec whose main job seems to be shooting hoops with his creative partner. That sounded fun. Since then, traditional advertising has stayed… traditional. From my 1st job out of college writing TV ads for Snapple and Fox Sports, to leading product marketing at Airbnb, I’ve seen a lot. Now the AI era is here and an entire $1T industry is about to change. Who will change it? Why not me? Why not us? Introducing Airpost: a platform and service where world-class creative strategists use custom-built AI to build video ads. Fast. If you’ve ever sat down to make an ad with AI and realized 20 minutes later you’re still wrestling with that same clip… that’s why we built Airpost. Growth teams are busy. They’re asked to do too many things as it is. They shouldn’t have to be AI experts as well. Creative strategists shouldn’t have to stare at a white box trying to decide what to prompt. They should have a partner. That’s what we aspire to be. And that’s what we’ve built our tech to do. AI ads shouldn’t have to mean only AI footage. We have an exclusive library of over 300,000 video clips we’ve shot ourselves. Our engine uses these, along with client footage and AI footage to make the ads we deliver each week. We’re funded by the best investors and humans we know. We bootstrapped our performance creative agency, Ready Set, to 200 people. I was always told VCs didn’t add value. If that’s true, it must be other VCs, because ours have been awesome. Thank you Zach Perret, Nate Abbott, Peter Hebert, Max Mullen and all of the firms and folks who’ve believed in us so far. We’ve gone from 0 to $1M ARR in the six months since we quietly started working with early clients like DoorDash, Dr. Squatch, Calm and more. So far, every customer has renewed. To celebrate the launch, we’re giving away a superagent where you: 1) Put in your product URL 2) Get snippets of what your real users are saying on Meta, TikTok, Reddit and X 3) Paste them into ad scripts Comment “Airpost” and I’ll DM you the private link. It feels (a little scary but) good to be out there. Here we go! 🚀

kids, always remember that money has log(money) utility, not linear utility. and almost all careers offer [10^n, 10^n+1] money, but rarely exceed some bound. ex: quant may be the best way to make 10 million, but the worst way to make 100.

What’s a social app that doesn’t exist yet but you wish existed? Doesn’t need to get to 100m or 1b users, but should attract the most intellectual 10m users in the world.

Can't even describe how much I hate what AI has done to the process of grading student work. I hate finding it, I hate the paranoia it fosters, I hate the confrontations with students who have used it. Nothing else in my experience has ever changed my job this much for the worse

Test set leakage is a silent epidemic in ML, probably a large part of why so many "groundbreaking" models don't generalize to new data. So much wasted time and money.

I really want to read (write?) something good on the prevalence of this kind of 'art': exculpatory, highly therapised, dogmatic, labile, jargonistic but fragile; all about message not form; 'radical' in a diffuse and vapid way; never difficult; never, ever, in any way surprising.

@Scholars_Stage I think it’s wrong to say an academic or journalist is necessarily less bright, they just don’t create a lot of economic return. The majority will be poorer than their parents, anger and resentment is understandable in my view.

T. Greer is in Austin TX ( April 23-24)
This ad catches a sort of zeitgeist. A few days ago Andreesen and Horowitz released this podcast where they explained why they were endorsing Trump. One of the ideas contained early in this podcast was that the left had a sort of assumed social contract with the tech world—tech was seen as a progressive force in the world and as long as they acted philanthropically tech billionaires deserved their fortunes. The break down of this contract c. 2016 was a necessary, though not sufficient, condition for A&H’s move towards Trump. From Silicon Valley’s POV the contract broke down when they (via Facebook) were blamed for Trump’s election, philanthropists like the Zuckerbergs were attacked for giving their money away, and aggressive hostility towards tech became the default attitude of the press. I think most tech people tend to blame external factors—Trump’s victory, the Great Awokening, etc—for this occurrence. That and perhaps jealously among Ivy League grads who went into low paying professions like academia or journalism while their brighter classmates went to San Fransisco. But there is another element, and it is the element showcased in this ad. Now look: Part time jobs are not new to American life. Side hustles have existed for millennia. Side hustles controlled by dinging computer in your pocket are new, and it is their presence in this add that sticks out to me. The economy created by Silicon Valley, as this ad imagines it, is precarious yet suffocating. Everything about the system is capricious—and inescapable. This was not the original vision of Silicon Valley. New communications technology promised a new way of life—an escape from the confines and hierarchies of the industrial world, a new civilization of the mind in unencumbered by the bureaucracies and petty rules of past. A computer in every pocket would enoble the masses, offering everyone, everywhere, the sort of freedom and agency once reserved for the few. That was the dream anyway. It did quite turn out that way. So much so that in 2024 the proposed solution to the controlling and claustrophobic tech economy is…. to become a line worker in the US military-industrial complex! The ad is more an exercise in rhetoric than depiction of reality, of course. It has an agenda. That agenda has no interest in depicting Uber et al fairly. Yet the ad resonates. There is enough overlap between life imagined and life experienced for this little ad to go viral. It is to that overlap, I think, we must look to understand why the implicit contract between tech and the rest tore apart. Software will eat the world, it was said—and leave a better world in its place. By 2016 or so Americans could see this new world—and they were not quite sure it was that much a better place. Utopia was promised. We got Uber instead. And that reality, I suspect, was an important—perhaps the most important—source of the Silicon backlash to come.

neets who thought they had freedom with their gig economy life are in shambles right now, and their best option is go build submarines
