Earlier today I did an interview on Cheddar for @giveitanudge Talking content, transparency and value cheddar.com/videos/nudge-a…

Makes sense

Oh OpenAI is looking for a Advertisign Marketing Science Lead openai.com/careers/advert…

@brian_armstrong Ads as micropayments would supercharge these numbers

How long until agentic payments overtake human payments?

@jasonlk More convincing if you add a zero, no?

Honestly if Meta paid $14B+ to get the Alex + Scale team to reboot their AI strategy ... Someone should pick me and Amelia up for a mere $140m or so to help them with their AI Agent strategy It would be cheap

Part of the traffic drop has been Google moving to more UGC content Surprised to not have seen publishers lean into this, encouraging more comments, forums, structured discussions

Despite my best efforts, every time I’ve opened Bitchat I’ve been the only one on there.

Would love for Citibike to have more (or deeper) storage

Oh, smart

@Pogue Enjoyed this

Here's my latest free (and ad-free) Substack column: The long, winding road to a cover design for my new book. It stymied a bunch of great minds! substack.com/home/post/p-19…

@lawgeeknz There’s at least one guy! But dunno if you want to follow his tweets

Just thought I'd look in and if any of the people I was following are still here. That's enough for me. Until next year

@EricTilbury_RTB @KendraEBarnett Yeah!

@bwagy @KendraEBarnett Win for the open web imo

Baby's first OpenAI ad impression 🤩

@KendraEBarnett @EricTilbury_RTB Haven’t seen any to app so far

@EricTilbury_RTB Ashamed to admit I did not click

@lennysan This is cool, we have subscribers access to a NotebookLM trained on all posts Keen to see how this goes

Today I'm releasing my entire newsletter archive (350+ posts) and all podcast transcripts (300+ episodes) as AI-friendly Markdown files. Plus an MCP server and GitHub repo. A few months ago I shared my podcast transcripts on a whim, and y'all built the most amazing things—an RPG game, a parenting wisdom site, infographics, a Twitter bot, and 50+ other projects. Let's see what happens when I give you even more data. Grab the data here: LennysData.com. Paid subscribers get all of the data (some 350 posts and 300 transcripts). Free subscribers get a subset. I don’t think anyone’s ever done anything like this before, and I’m excited to give you this excuse to play with that AI tool you've been meaning to try. Here’s my challenge to you: build something, and let me know about it. I’ll pick my favorite and give you a free 1-year subscription to the newsletter. Just post a link to your project in the comments here: lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-i-built-…. If you’ve already built something, slurp in this new data and submit it, too. I’ll pick a winner on April 15th. Check out today's newsletter post for inspiration on what you could to build: lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-i-built-… LFG.

@nmasc_ I guess really, the demand would be spread across the whole education industry?

@nmasc_ Been wondering the same, hasn’t Masterclass started to make some noise here

After having weeks of doomsday conversations with some of my smartest friends about AI displacement... I have to wonder: Why is there no standout edtech company synonymous with AI re-skilling? I'm sure folks are trying, but why hasn't there been a break out yet?

Has anyone seen this GTM approach work well? Or what is the best way to run this? The JV is an extra element

How do I get one of these?
