@stephenolmon The 26th works👍

@logananks Thursday evening (around 730p) March 26 or April 2nd preferred?

Think I’m starting a local AI meetup in Dallas to help inform, share, educate, and do some building together

Top 5 worst take on the internet Run away from Colin

@collin_ruth89 @shainadenny Thanks @collin_ruth89 ! DMs are open 👍

@shainadenny @logananks is your guy

Hey x. Do your thing. Who is the best cold outbound email/call/ sales person. I’d rather work with an individual than agency. I want to test something over a 60 day period. I have a super narrow target which up to 20k lead list. I need help with an outbound campaign. Can either pay for appt booked or up to 60% commission. I need someone to crush this out for me.

@gaulicsmith Property taxes are fine & shouldn't be abolished, but there should be reformation to incentivize people to have more kids Something like a progressive expansion of the homestead exemption on a per child basis. 7.5% of home value deducted from taxable amount per child makes sense

I’ve said this before but the reason property (and land) taxes are “efficient” is the exact same reason people loath them

@AvantPrince_ Electric

ChatGPT needs a 'fork chat' feature. I want to be able to branch a conversation from any point like git branch -> explore alternate timelines without ruining the main thread. or copy pasting like a freak

@benfitterman You should check out @logananks tool, Cold. He built it himself and it's awesome. (I hired him to run my cold outbound campaigns this spring).

@shdu11546816 This is a very good frame

People consider me an AI doomer but I'm really not. I'm very optimistic about the future because I positioned myself to benefit from it. I derive much of my motivation from anxiety about the future. I identify a legitimate risk to my future well-being and then I overthink about it and I assume the worst possible version is going to happen. Then I take action in meatspace to de-risk myself. -AI automation -Peak cheap oil -Idiocracy and Social Disintegration Anxiety can be a useful tool for motivation. It's also a masculine virtue to over-prepare and over-come risk. Yeah maybe I'm a doomer but what's the alternative? Come up with some pie in the sky utopia that involves the state of nature to stop? That seems lazy and doesn't benefit me. You can either face the Risk/Anxiety head on and overcome it. Or you can ignore it... but if the risk turns out to be real, the anxiety will slowly build back up until the day you can't ignore it any longer. By then it's usually too late.

@shdu11546816 And given the businesses you’ve built, I am genuinely curious how you’ve been able to push yourself to the extent required in spite of these beliefs.

@shdu11546816 I appreciate the nuance you uncover through how you explore the doomer side of AI integration, but how do you motivate yourself to build anything with these beliefs? It seems like massive cognitive dissonance that would be very difficult to override to generate agency.

What does AI automating all the jobs do to fertility? It seems many people forgo having kids because they're such a massive burden. What happens when having a child = a lifetime financial burden until the day you die?

@clintveinot Couldn’t be me withcold.com

Wait wait wait People are actually paying $4 for google inboxes?

@AvantPrince_ Tremendous frame. Neuroticism-Minimize

@stephenolmon Have a feature in Cold to ‘exclude previously contacted recipients’ when selecting an audience:

When doing high volume outbound marketing (call, email, etc) How do you easily exclude current customers?

**harmful to creativity IF it’s used as a bandaid for everything. I mainly mean that throwing money at a problem rarely solves it, but I do acknowledge that it can be a very effective tool to scale up experimentation (as long as you are disciplined with cutting the losers, something I think lots of companies struggle with - especially when their employees livelihoods depend on the experiment continuing)

I’ve thought about this in terms of how operating leverage - mechanisms & procedures that reduce the time, effort, and risk required to produce a certain outcome - is the ultimate end goal, and how little financial capital actually provides in getting more if you don’t know where to allocate it (e.g. tech startups that raise money just to raise it) I think this is because operating leverage can only be acquired when you know what work needs to get done to produce an outcome and then intersect it with creative ways to do it better. If you have investable capital, it can be a shortcut as you can run a ton of experiments in parallel to discover things on both threads, but it is not a prerequisite (and I’d argue it can be harmful to creativity) to attain more operating leverage The more knowledge you accrue, the more operating leverage you can gather, the more value you can create, the more money you can make

The information theory of capitalism is one of the most powerful concepts to learn if you want to be rich. Entrepreneurship can't be taught in schools because it's ultimately about experimentation and the discovery of new knowledge. Once everything is known about a business, the universities will create a curriculum around it and then it becomes a job. Most people look at a business and they see money in a bank account, physical buildings and infrastructure, tangible assets, etc. That's not what I see! I see a unique collection of learning curves. This is why entrepreneurs that raise capital are less successful than those that bootstrap. This is also why people that inherit businesses usually run them into the ground. Physical assets aren't worth much unless you know their unique limits and exactly how much efficiency can be squeezed out them. Most of what I do day to day is running entrepreneural experiments. I'm okay with spending $10,000+ on an experiment just to see if some new idea works or not. If it doesn't, knowing that it's a dead end is just as good as any other asset on my balance sheet. If 1 out of 5 of my ideas work out reasonably well, that's usually more than enough to pay for all the failed experiments. If you really take the information theory of capitalism seriously, you will realize that even money itself is just information, and that's why hoarding it rarely creates any value.
