It’s a dangerous thing to have a soul. open.spotify.com/episode/4gzzIm…

The way people discover brands is fundamentally changing. @chriswandrew, CEO of @ScrunchAI, joined @chelcietay on Notable Perspectives for a conversation on what it actually means when you’re marketing to AI agents, not human eyeballs.

@bryce @pmarca Movement is data ❤️

My daughter failed at therapy. Maybe @pmarca wasn’t so off base afterall…

@JHTScherck Someone is going to learn a ton and have a chance for a huge impact in this role. 👏

🚨Hiring Alert🚨 We are looking for a seasoned Project Manager that is big on systems building, process refinement, automations, and AI to join the team at Growth Plays. This role will touch every client-facing aspect of the business and is going to be instrumental in helping us reach our growth and client goals. If you have experience leveraging technology to manage complex technical projects and editorial/SEO pipelines in an agency or marketing team setting and are located in a timezone with 5+ hours of overlap with central standard time - we want to talk with you. Please check out the JD in the comments if this sounds like a fit. Looking forward to hearing from you!

@tjparker @omooretweets Time to redefine generational :) Pill Packs societal impact was > than any of the addicting consumer apps

@omooretweets We went 0-300M revs paid, 300M-1B paid + B2B, and to many billions since w a broad mix of channels. Wouldn’t call it a generational startup, but will be a durable tens of billions p&l inside of Amazon..

In consumer, paid ads generally = lack of true product market fit I have yet to see a generational startup with largely paid ad-driven growth…

@bznotes But the ads with Tim Robinson are all time.

Didn't expect Rippling to have such atrocious UI and processes. Every third thing we want to do requires emailing customer service. Ugh.

@boxerbk Yes, and ginger chews still help.

I feel disoriented by the pace of change of AI. It feels like I'm riding on a bullet train in Japan getting motion sick trying to watch the details flyby. Anyone else feeling this? It's difficult to know what is hype...what's real...and what matters to my business and life.

@bryce Been wondering if PCMR is also tanking the weather this year, but for new ownership.... :)

"Helping others helps." The Reservoir at @AtlanticTheater was brilliant.

@omooretweets @kwharrison13 And we consistently see that referrals coming from AI Search platforms convert at 2-7x that of Google Search. The customer journey is changing.

This is why it's worth investing in how your company "shows up" in major LLM platforms now👇 ChatGPT's weekly retention is fast approaching that of Google search In five years, we will have seen a massive shift in how people find products (h/t @kwharrison13)

@gaetano_nyc Here for your feedback :) Companies need to be empowered to make their own decision. We highlight which websites are having an impact in AI Search results. Noble helps coordinate outreach to see if being included in the article makes sense. No magic here and no spam.

Scrunch AI has a new partnership with a company called Noble that claims to "automate" your brand mentions. This is a bad move by Scrunch AI... why would any brand want to spam low quality websites to get mentions? Marketers still don't get it. This is not a volume game.

@sasan_goodarzi @turbotax Congrats epic!

Yesterday we opened the @TurboTax flagship store in NYC, part of our nationwide rollout of TurboTax Stores and Expert offices. This marks a new era of personal and small business tax filing that brings together AI + human expertise!

@boxerbk Do you have any cool friends?

If you’re thinking about leaving Silicon Valley, consider the Salt Lake area. 7 world class ski resorts + Park City Mountain. Unlimited activities in the summer (biking, mountain biking, hiking, golfing, boating). 5 national parks. Having balance in life is important even when you’re building a tech company - 996 is ridiculous. A growing tech scene. A world class airport with direct flights to Europe and Asia. Extremely well governed. And good vibes on snow days :).

@tjparker @ilyasu @awerhun Recently made @tjparker sit through Krapp's Last Tape. - a good warm-up, 1 hour, no intermission.

@chriswandrew @ilyasu @awerhun Oh god, here we go

Standup comedy is the only art form that matters today.

@ilyasu @awerhun Classics reperformed every week still matter, and new playwrights like Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, O'Harris, Nottage, Hnath, etc are making incredible things. A weekend in tiny theatres in London or NYC is time well spent. Often hard to get a ticket.

@awerhun What theatre matters right now?

@bryce Being one of six has been the greatest gift.

This is stupid. Kids are not expensive but they are a flex. Merry Christmas!

@HHorsley They could do so much more with the title of the final American beer

Under celebrated piece of American heritage.

@dmbkparker @tjparker We talking about the front 9?

@rfkenmore De la boue

Any Willamette enjoyers in the chat? Need good reccs
