I've invested in 233 companies and Signed tracks 'em, ingests investor updates, triages leads, diligences new startups, and all this other stuff I couldn't do before; makes me giddy to use it, lol. Dogfooding rules. Beta's now; waitlist is now open: signed.com

@toddgoldberg let claude cook

Kind of wild that they pivoted to a bakery in west village

my openclaw is generating courses on how to use openclaw to generate courses on making money with openclaw please instruct your agent to buy it

@sentdefender that handrail is bracing against the weight of a thousand suns

U.S. President Donald J. Trump boards Air Force One as he leaves for his trip to Beijing, China to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

@zeeg we're all just a couple self-referential revenue circles away with our friend startups from making it big

he didnt say margin-positive, shoot your shot!

I’m actively writing angel checks! I focus on devtools + sports, but also a fan of, you know, mysterious things like “revenue-generating startups”. If you’re fundraising — or even if you’re not — you can always shoot me your pitch deck via @signedco: signed.com/pitch/tifo

@jdfwarrior @raycast what a bummer way of looking at life lol

@holman @raycast It’s an icon and a background image, settle down

The install for @raycast is by far the best DMG design I've ever seen lol this is so great

@lex_node one very cool way they (and many others) could solve this is by going public instead of cruising on the private market grift

I am surprised more people are not paying attention to this update from Anthropic on its stock policy. This seems like a potential bombshell. There is an active secondary market purportedly in Anthropic stock or derivatives including on fairly reputable (or at least well-known) platforms like Forge. Anthropic is calling them out *specifically*, by name, and essentially *saying* 100% of these are illegal. Some may be frauds (people selling Anthropic stock or interests in Anthropic stock that they don't truly own), but more likely many are legit attempts at transferring Anthropic equity (directly, as SPV shares, or as some type of 'beneficial interest' or future, etc.) Anthropic appears to be saying it will treat all these transfers as void. I don't have access to their terms, but it's very interesting to think what this could mean. Do the 'first purported sellers' in the chain potentially have an opportunity to do a double-dip? Does the first seller and all downstream buyers get the entire entitlement nuked? Anthropic is threatening that--are they just bluffing? If they're not bluffing, what litigation is likely to ensue? This can get into really esoteric areas of corporate law that depend on exactly how the transfer restrictions are drafted as well as the language around how violations of transfer restrictions are treated--for example, if they are merely voidABLE then downstream buyers can assert various equitable claims/defenses, but if they are VOID ab initio then in some jurisdictions that forecloses equitable defenses.

@ctennis first rule of lifetime free accounts is you shouldn't talk about lifetime free accounts

@holman In the early 2010s GitHub gave me and a few others “lifetime free accounts” which lasted just under four years before they were revoked. I happen to still be alive.

Really cracks me up that this boomer goes back to his Rackspace days, where GitHub couldn’t order more racks from Rackspace because they told us, and I quote, “we have no space for more racks”

@Nateemerson that part made my eyeballs roll out of my head. just… think things through first, with your brain? lol

@holman believe it or not, he addresses that in his RCA!

@Nateemerson surprised one of this 150k agents didn’t protect him

@holman Holy crap dude I’m dying this morning 😂

@devahaz @sm just coming home from another win at the coliseum! oakland fans are the best. we’ve had some 20k attendance games too… oakland deserves great sports again.

@sm Maybe @holman can save them w roots and soul! I think Warriors were kind of inevitable and kinda fine move. Raiders and especially A’s both so terrible.

It’s wild seeing a post like this when for so long the center of gravity for tech startups was the Peninsula, only starting to shift to SF with social/mobile waves, then more for fintech/gig economy, and really concentrating in the city with AI

@jonrohan @Scobleizer i have 40,000 agents reading everything at all times

@holman @Scobleizer .remember holman is slop

this boomer @Scobleizer just blocked me because I wasn’t fascinated by his agents reading 40,000 tweets a minute normalize making fun of these fucking wankers lol

@Scobleizer @leahculver you never connected on twitter; i get it. it’s fine, you don’t need to be so angry.

@holman @leahculver My site reads 40,000 posts every day. Proving you wrong right there. You can't read 40,000 posts every day. And it picks the best out of all that to show you. You can't do that. I think you are slop.

I hate that X sucks and nobody is here anymore. I'd love to talk about how AI is completely changing coding workflows and we might have another Y2K moment with security patches.

@Scobleizer @leahculver it’s okay if you never actually connected with real humans when twitter was starting out. you grifted from the start which is understandable why you like this echo chamber now. that’s fine. just don’t speak for the rest of us humans.

@holman @leahculver My site is all headlines from X today. Proving you are totally wrong and you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. At all. I'm watching X live right now and it's quite active.

@Scobleizer @leahculver 1) i don’t think everything AI is slop; I am an aggressive AI user and just think *your* link you posted was absolutely worthless 2) this has no bearing on Leah’s original sentiment that this is a ghost town, which it clearly is

@holman @leahculver You are not a very careful reader. My AI reads 40,000 posts here EVERY SINGLE DAY and writes a report you never will be able to write. If you think everything AI is slop you are so misinformed.

@Scobleizer @leahculver truly dying that you responded with a slop URL and are still trying to say there’s real community here. you’ve just proven it’s slop spam and nothing else on twitter.

@holman @leahculver Not here. Proof? alignednews.com/ai which watches the AI community here.

@Scobleizer @leahculver yeah this place is fucking dead. it’s all bots and grifters left
