idk who needs to hear this but stop trying to get into film just buy a fujifilm camera it's cute to tote around a vintage nikon. it's not cute to spend $2 or $3 a shot when you're just getting into photography get a fujifilm. it doesn't matter which one, if you like it you can upgrade later x100 x-t5 x-t50 target $1,000 for camera + lens. sounds like a lot but that's only 300 shots on a film camera. 10 rolls. add a few film simulation recipes. start with "Reggie's Portra" (google it). follow the steps. punch it into the camera. set it to auto and just blast away. you'll see immediately that it's vastly superior to the iPhone camera fujis are especially good for people photos, the color rendering on skin is magical your wife will especially appreciate this purchase. this is an approved hobby good luck

@thisiszinger Whiskey Tavern in Chinatown! Or at least that’s where we ended up…

@jonwu_ Moral of the story: picklebacks slap Were you guys at The Belfry?

Grouper was peak early NYC tech. I remember going on one of the early ones with Mike Waxman and Chris Paik. Ended up meeting my then future and now ex ex girlfriend who only went out with me again because I bought her a pickleback at the end of the night. Those were the days.

@AlmostMedia @amandapey @nkorzenko @danielaperlein Wait my ex had an idea for a single use disposable deodorant swipe. We might’ve even discussed it on the grouper Were we all living in the same consciousness

@amandapey @jonwu_ @nkorzenko @danielaperlein I too had much to say about single serve beauty cpg cogs in 2014

@timourxyz happy birthday bud!!

life updates - I'm a year older today, and I have officially moved to SF☀️

@TheStalwart jfc this is terrible i can't tell if most people just have no AI detection mechanism?

One thing that really makes AI writing distinct is the lack commas. Anyway here’s the CEO of Airbnb posting about blockchain stuff.

@p_millerd we have to solve adult male friendships

@jonwu_ Grouper but just dads

@amandapey @nkorzenko @danielaperlein epic trio

@jonwu_ My one and only grouper was with @nkorzenko and @danielaperlein Finance guys in herald square at a fish tank bar I'll never forget his sad eyes talking about single serve beauty cpg trends I really hope he found his way

@p_millerd honestly a blast, wish everyone could experience it

@abemurray hi

Seeing so many of my friends in my feed now Lists less important? Say hi if you’re seeing this

@pablosolanasmar yes exactly

@jonwu_ crypto marketers just moved to ai

AI is discovering crypto GTM from first principles

@ben_grossman I actually think a lot of the GTM DNA just migrated over to AI, so we're going to see a repeat of the same tactics

@jonwu_ Many such cases

@MikeBucella they're running the same playbook back respect

@jonwu_ I thought this was satire 😂

@zachtratar oh cool! I think of the crypto version as rewards-for-distribution

@jonwu_ This was invented at PayPal

@zkmattwyatt we're way past AI KOLs

@jonwu_ AI about to start KOL campaigns and shady market maker deals next

@KSimback crypto GTM was evolutionarily perfected for high growth low fundamentals markets

@jonwu_ Interestingly in an era where anyone can be a builder and attention is scarce, many with crypto GTM experience can be quite valuable

@tbpn so Honey 2.0?

Phiagate, explained in horse terms You go from HorseReviews dotcom over to ClydesdalesDirect dotcom. You have Phia installed as an extension. You buy a stunning Clydesdale from the website using its online shopping features, knowing that this particular horse breed — large and powerful, with an arched neck, high withers, and a sloped shoulder — is perfect for your use case after HorseReviews educated you on all this. You don't notice anything, but Phia was part of the transaction. It inserted an attribution code into the transaction process without you knowing, allowing it to collect the commission ClydesdalesDirect pays out to businesses that refer customers to them and effectively stealing that commission from HorseReviews dotcom, which actually referred you. HorseReviews dotcom likely paid Google to advertise its site so that ultimately they could collect this commission. Phia did nothing but replace HorseReviews' affiliate code with its own. That's basically what the Bloomberg story alleges.

@david__booth Love this idea--what an epic thesis + crew

A few weeks ago we packed 15 families - 29 parents & their collective 37 kids - into a giant 18-bedroom house in Tahoe, and hosted a super fun "un-conference" style retreat/gathering. very casual... social thing. run with/for friends. But thanks to an epic support crew of nannies and @Alphaschool guides, all were able to participate- most facilitate a session of some kind.. some personal, some professional, some family subjects, e.g - "building a company with your spouse" ft @clairevo & @elawless, @hsambhi & @rosie_chopra + others - @jessegenet on running her homeschool + household with local AI agents (including live appearances from the kids) -@mbateman and @nateliason on "how to start a school" - @adamgries on longevity & AI, how to live forever - @Gena_I_Gorlin on the psychology of ambition - plus "building connection" for busy married couples. - - @immad's philosophical takes on "what is money" - and raising kids to have positive relationships with it. - - @ketau on “when agents spend more than humans” / future biz models + ad supported AI - @ellenvoramd and @vimalspot on "Modern Spirituality" - building spiritual families, deep dive from Ellen on "the Anatomy of Anxiety" - also - @TomHacohen on Privacy, security, AI & and the internet; @Alicebentinck on how to spot talent, @petergyang on building distribution; life on the road and cultural immersion with @rieglobe, @abatalion & others. This was round two — first was back in 2023. Probably not going to wait three years to do it again. Maybe east coast later this year? 👀

@creebeauvoir samkriss.substack.com/p/if-you-let-a… the absolute best piece ever written about this

if i see one more person post an article seriously and its entirely written by AI, i’m going to kms !! there is nothing wrong with using AI in the process but please do not expect your writing, your analysis and your opinion to be taken seriously if its not your own voice
