The romanticization of being a startup founder is kind of insane to me: – You’re statistically unlikely to succeed – You’ll have no life and be totally consumed - Incredible lows – You’re locking yourself in for 10+ years This is insanely hard and NOT for everyone.

since openai is building a phone, let’s think a little bit about one of the core aspects of a phone which is the messaging experience. the current imessage moat narrative is kinda lazy actually in many ways. lemme explain. it gets repeated cuz it was true for ~a decade+ & ppl confused durability with permanence. but the conditions that made it sticky are maybe just maybe eroding, slowly. again i think due to ai. you see blue bubbles are a status signifier that got coded into dating dynamics in the us, esp millennials. that’s culturally contingent & also culturally reversible esp since the ios messages inbox itself is sorta broken & nobody’s really fixed it. today messages is a graveyard of - 2fa codes - doordash updates - spam political texts - “your prescription is ready” - actual humans you love - group chats you can’t leave - businesses pretending to be ppl the fact that all of these get equal visual weight is crazy when you actually think about it. it’s a paradigm inherited from sms. nobody redesigned it because nobody had to or it became too hard. ai native messaging probably looks less like messaging. if an agent knows your context, the “message” stops being the atomic unit. the atomic unit becomes something like intent or thread of attention. some examples of what might shift: - inbound triage happens before you see it. 2fa codes get auto resolved if you’re actively logging in without any ux!, otherwise surfaced. delivery updates collapse into a single ambient “your food is 8 min away” object. spam maybe just dies. - outbound becomes lossy compressed intent. you say “tell sarah i’m running late” & the agent picks the right channel, right tone, & right level of contrition based on history. - the feed is rebuilt around people & relationships. one sarah surface that unifies imessage, whatsapp, ig dms, signal, email threads w/ her. the carrier/protocol becomes invisible plumbing, the way smtp is now. - group dynamics get weird & interesting. agent mediated catchup (“here’s what you missed in the gc”), i mean you could even have an agent vibe checking before you send the cooked text at 2am. the wedge for an ai first messenger is something more like a surface that already understands your full life context, where messaging is one expression of that context, & switching to it feels like upgrading from inbox to assistant not downgrading to a new app. & now that network effects can happen quickly, a new type of messaging experience could be unlocked with a new device or even without a device that overcomes the pure social elements of the imessage moat.

As a man, have a purpose and be stubborn about it. It makes the long days bearable

Purpose.

most dudes should obsess over their craft. the thing they can make, build, improve, or understand so deeply that it becomes their contribution to the world. roughly everything else is downstream of this.

If you ever see me with a woman just know she doesn't stress me out.. I give up on women very easily.

I’m in love with this sentence: “Discipline looks boring until you see what it builds.”

Men celebrate things they tried soo hard to achieve. Birthday is not one of them.

@OparanozieP @chippercashapp @blessing11378 Oh! Mine was later resolved.

@docikenna @chippercashapp @blessing11378 I don dash them the money I don't trade my bitcoin with chipper again...it wasn't resolved at all...

Hi @blessing11378, we sincerely apologize for the delayed response and the experience you’ve had with your transaction. Please send us a DM with your Chipper tag and a screenshot of the transaction details so we can review and assist you with resolving this promptly.

No woman who truly respects or desires you is going to ask your income, because she doesn't care. This is the fixation of a woman looking to materially upgrade her life, not the fanatical longing of a crazy woman in love who will do whatever it takes to make it work with you.

@Wizarab10 It's both actually

You’re either feminine or not. Femininity is not invoked. It is a personality.

@OparanozieP @chippercashapp @blessing11378 Was your issue resolved?

@chippercashapp @blessing11378 This is really annoying and frustrating why is my transition still pending this now I believe this app is beginning to move skeptical and it worrisome Please pay me my money I'll leave the app for you

@El_capone999 @tyroyall001 @chippercashapp @blessing11378 Have they resolved your issue. Because mine just started and I'm worried.

@tyroyall001 @chippercashapp @blessing11378 Absolutely they want to ruin everybody’s day… what kind of banks hold someone’s money hostage…. Firstly they are doing uninformed maintenance and still no support to address this for the past 14hours… how retard this is

@10cty @chippercashapp @blessing11378 Did you resolve?

@chippercashapp @blessing11378 Where is my USDT? It has been 2 days. And you keep saying I have overdue balance but you don’t want to fund my account after I sent money. if you guys debit me for that overdue balance we will fight

1. Only date women who like you. A woman who likes you will not watch you spend money recklessly; neither on her nor on yourself. 2. Until you start seeing money as a tool, you can never be financially comfortable. See it as a means, not an end. 3. Money actually finishes. When you are up, do not forget the days you cried yourself to sleep. 4. Don’t chest billing in situations where you can simply say, “Omo, you’ve got this.” 🫂 5. Don’t inflate your lifestyle when you come into bulk funds. It is better to stay modest than to taste the good life and return to zero without bouncing back. 6. Don’t ever do drugs. Drug addiction will ruin your life and your finances. 7. Don’t impregnate anyone (guys). Don’t let anyone impregnate you (ladies). 8. If you don’t make as much bread as them, don’t spend like them. Use your head. 9. Don’t disclose your actual salary to your parents. Black tax is one of the easiest routes to zero. 10. Do not invest money in anything you are not knowledgeable about. No matter how good it sounds, don’t. 11. Try your best not to go broke. Money-making opportunities will always come, but you will always need money to make more money. If you are illiquid when an opportunity arises, you will miss it. 12. Womanizing is pointless and financially irresponsible. Don’t invest in it. 13. ⁠Whenever you see a financial opportunity on social media and everyone is talking about it, it’s already too late to invest. If you do, you’ll likely end up as exit liquidity for those who got in early. In essence, resist the urge to FOMO.

I've been married 15 years. Still married because we treat these like law: • Bed is for sleep and sex only • No phones in bedroom • Kids asleep? We talk. 5 mins or 3 hours. Doesn't matter. We talk • Pray together before sleep • We eat every meal together • No screens when eating • And we never, and I mean NEVER criticize each other in public Your marriage is your son's blueprint, and your daughter's standard. Make sure you lead at the front and everyone will follow.

@Urchilla01 @ehimaggie Wonderful analysis

Abia state thriving. The south-east is thriving. Alex Otti leads while the other governors pull their weight. Alex Otti refuses to join APC. Alex Otti takes control of LP. Tinubu's people start to suspect he's securing it for PO in case they sabotage ADC, so they make a law that it's a crime to belong to two political parties at the same time, obviously targeting PO. They send Sowore to organise an IPOB protest in Abia state Sowore subsequently continues to attack Alex Otti, both personally and through his media platform, @SaharaReporters. You see, they expected the south-east to to react to MNK's incarceration, but our people stayed calm: So, the Nigerian military suddenly announce an operation against an IPOB whose leader they Tinubu government has incarcerated, in a region that has remained peaceful for at least 2 years now. VDM suddenly touches down Anambra. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the current course of events. Keep watching and following closely.

Just build something. Anything. App, robot, YT channel, music. That’s how your life changes.

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
