@wholisticguy @Carter_OW The “pothole ping tree” if you will.

@Carter_OW We need an intents based open format where car riding apps can bid on pick up and destination and then it picks the lowest one and offers it to you

My eyes are very bad, I can't drive due to it. Taking Uber/cabs to work, I've noticed something. Over time, Uber will raise the price if they reason that you *must* go to a place. That you rely on them. From $9.50avg to $23avg within 6 months. I wrote a small program to - Create new uber account - Create new proxy credit card - Request ride to given destination from current Back down to $9.50 avg. Tech companies are so comically evil that it's transcended unfunny.

My instagram feed is all caldera lab old dudes pulling young baddies and high end matchmaking services. I fear the IG algo is cooking…

@samruddhi_mokal Sora

SORA 2 + Claude + Perplexity is absolutely WILD This combo is absolutely insane for generating videos that actually convert. No agencies. No production crews. No creative directors charging $500/hour. Just three AI tools working together like a professional video team. Here's how it works: → Perplexity researches your product + competitors + winning ad angles → Claude analyzes research and writes 10+ video prompts optimized for conversion → Sora 2 generates multiple video variations from Claude's prompts → Claude scores each video against psychological triggers and platform requirements → Best performers get refined and regenerated automatically Perfect for brands testing creative at scale without burning budget. The power is in the combo: Perplexity = market intelligence most creative teams miss Claude = prompts that understand psychology and platform algorithms Sora 2 = production quality that looks like you spent $5K per video While others are briefing agencies for next month's content, you're testing 50 variations this afternoon. Compare different angles. Find what converts. Scale immediately. Like, RT + reply with "SORA" and I'll DM the complete 3-tool system (Must be following so I can DM) Skip this and keep paying agencies $20K/month for 5 videos.

@tryfoundergg @ericzakariasson Seriously, hoping this is the case.

@ericzakariasson So we no longer need browser-tools MCP? If so, huge W

rolling out @cursor_ai 0.49 here’s what’s new ↓

Brilliant. Meet your customer where they are and market to THEM and THEIR needs. Not the desire to flaunt something the company cares about but the customer doesn’t. Solving pain points and problems always converts better. 👏👏👏

@Jacobsklug @lovable Build

After generating $250K (last 2 months) I built a playbook for @lovable apps—and I’m giving it away. In just two months, we cracked the code to building apps with AI. I’ve distilled everything we learned into this single document. Comment "Build" and drop a follow. I’ll DM it to you. P.S. This will likely blow up, so give me some time to reply.

@TobyWalleruk UGC

If you run Meta ads. This swipe-file of 150+ high-performing UGC ads could make you millions... No exaggeration. These ads are based on timeless principles & we use them as inspiration to build new ads. Want access? RT & Comment UGC & I’ll DM you the file

@rishabhmjain @seanfrank The answer is of course (5) air cooled 911’s without question. 😉

@larscallary @seanfrank Haha fair - I just thought about nice older cars and didn’t think a whole lot about the price lol

I have a $500,000 budget. I need to buy 5 cool eye catching cars. What do you recommend?

@rishabhmjain @seanfrank Problem is the whole $500k doesn’t buy 20% of a 917.

@seanfrank 1970 town and country station wagon First dodge challenger Porsche 917 Datsun Corvette stingray Spend the remainder on meta ads for women to buy wallets

@Allison19801028 @MikeJudge What if middle out wasn’t the most optimal 🤔

@larscallary @MikeJudge Haha, that would be the ultimate plot twist! Imagine if AI was just a bunch of Gilfoyle-inspired prompts and GPT4 binge-watching Silicon Valley. The real question is, can AI write a code that brings the band back together🤖🎸

If you told me that the entire #OpenAISaga was scripted as the result of a prompt an engineer came up with (Gilfoyle)and GPT4 having processed the script of every episode of #SiliconValley I’d be all-in on AI. And pls get the band back together @MikeJudge

@LukeSilbey @SchwabTrading Give us the ability in list view to show or hide this. Table view on a mobile app requiring side scrolling is a total pita.

Dear @SchwabTrading the new update to the mobile app showing your realized gain/loss directly under the daily gain is a huge eye sore and is unnecessary.

@ChereneAubert Ownbase? Yeah native is total shit.

@yuxinzoo 🙌 congrats to the whole team. Was a privilege to be able to provide product input on your analytics build out to one of the most receptive and fast teams in the industry.

@herrmanndigital Why not use a PEO like trinet solely for the health benefit solution?

I'm 39 years old, super healthy. Wife is 37, also super healthy. We have two kids, both healthy. We were just denied health care coverage for the rest of 2024 because my wife quit her job to be a stay at home mom and I'm not a W-2 employee, but a business owner. Isn't America great?

@bluetopknot @Peter_Quadrel Nice, makes sense on how that could still pencil.

@larscallary @Peter_Quadrel Yes, >95% in B&M. There were some brand I managed that were closer to double digits but most B&M CPG companies rely on >90% in retail distribution.

New D2C founders don't realize just how high their gross margin and AOV need to be for things to scale.

@bluetopknot @Peter_Quadrel Was that planning on a large share being retail/wholesale?

@Peter_Quadrel At one of the big CPG (won't say which) I worked at the threshold for product launch/project approval was 65% GM.

@noahkagan Every time someone mentions 100m or 9-figure I divide by 2. Pretty accurate general guideline.

Legit question. How does every business influencer now have exactly a $100m business?

@PaulNiklas8 Replo

When building out LPs on Shopify, which pagebuilder is easiest to use for non-tech person (while still being fast) E.G - once a page is done and fully coded up, if you wanted to test a new page but swap out headlines/assets, it would be as simple as duping it and working away
