Average new car payment is $722/month. Loan terms are hitting 70 months. Lower-income buyers are completely priced out of new. Used is about to boom harder than 2021. If you're an independent used car dealer and you're...

@VadimStrizheus Founder ego every time

As a founder, what kills a startup faster? 1. Bad co-founder 2. VC funding 3. Founder’s ego

@dlevine815 Add the option to disable context for a new chat

We've got big plans to improve the core ChatGPT experience in 2026. What are some thing you'd love to see? Even small ideas welcome! Looking forward to getting them built 🙏

@romanbuildsaas Can confirm the spam (persistence) on Reddit lol

I grew gojiberry.ai from $0 to $33,000 in 4 months. No hacks. Just relentless distribution. Here’s the exact routine 👇 • Reddit: 3 posts/week in ~10 SaaS subreddits. Only real data, real results, proof every time. Link to the product. Fast first 10 upvotes to trigger virality. • LinkedIn outbound: I use GojiberryAI on 5 accounts. ~800 high-intent DMs/week. • Cold email: 5,000 emails/day. Leads from GojiberryAI + Sales Navigator for volume. • LinkedIn inbound: 5 accounts posting daily. Goal: go viral + push a lead magnet to Gojiberry AI. • Influencers: 2–3 LinkedIn influencers/week promoting GojiberryAI. • Newsletter sponsorships: ~1 B2B newsletter/week. • YouTube: 5 videos/week (tutorials + competitor comparisons). Long-term organic play. • TrustMRR: bought an ad spot. 50–100 visitors/day. Very profitable. Thanks @marclou • Affiliates: generated thousands in revenue. Simple rule: create value + pay on time. • Twitter/X: post daily, build in public. • Webinars: 1/month with partners who bring traffic. • Seo : We use outrank. Thanks @tibo_maker, wonderful tool. It’s a lot of work. But it compounds. Crazy growth doesn’t come from one channel. It comes from doing all of them, every day.

@girlskwrt Care to explain 😮

whoever decided to put dealership cars on fb marketplace needs to be killed

@tomcrawshaw01 SKILL

Writing viral posts will never be a struggle again... I packaged every context file, example, and framework that got me 4.5M+ impressions into one Claude skill. Just upload it to your project and Claude instantly references: - 20+ tweets with 100K+ views each - Proven hook formulas - Writing principles that actually work - Real feedback on what converts (and what flops) Most people prompt Claude with zero context and wonder why their posts sound generic. They're basically asking it to write blind. This skill changes that completely. You upload it once to your Claude account and it becomes part of Claude's memory. Now when you say "write a post about X," Claude pulls from battle-tested patterns. - It knows which hooks are overused and market-fatigued. - It understands how to structure posts for maximum engagement. - It references actual examples that crushed it. The skill teaches Claude to write posts that actually convert, and it never runs out of fresh angles. Claude gets better the more you use it together, because you can keep adding to the skill over time. This is the new way to add context to AI. No more copy-pasting examples into every chat. No more re-explaining your style from scratch. Follow + comment "SKILL" and I'll DM you the file

@harnidhish what are next steps? Would love to get involved if possible

There’s a 10k word manifesto and rally cry coming. DM if you want an early peak.

@EXM7777 Built this tool to help find local business owners and scrape directly from their websites with a nice UI. Lmk if you want to try it -> superproducer.ai

you can charge businesses $500 for 45 mins of work with this system... here's the blueprint to sell lovable websites to local businesses using a fully automated outreach and super fast service delivery this cover EVERYTHING to go from $0 to $10k/month a thread 🧵

I got tired of using shitty tools that didn't work for targeting local business owners... so we built our own. Introducing Super Producer AI: find your ideal customers 10x faster.

I’m genuinely perplexed how any self-proclaimed “China Hawk” can claim that President Trump’s AI deals with UAE and Saudi Arabia aren’t hugely beneficial for the United States. As leading semiconductor analyst Dylan Patel observed, these deals “will noticeably shift the balance of power” in America’s favor. The only question you need to ask is: does China wish it had made these deals? Yes of course it does. But President Trump got there first and beat them to the punch.

Putting Cursor on Agent mode with MAX mode using o3 is the software engineering equivalent of crack open a Red Bull, turn off the music, hoodie on mode. #vibecoding

@OpenAI Probably making use of their windsurf acquisition and releasing a lovable competitor

Developers (and those who would like to become developers), set your alarms.

@helloIamWilly @Jason May not be traditional web search as in if they index all the pages themselves instead of relying on a third party search engine. Or they search a private database of partnered third party website like Shopify exclusively

@Jason Pretty sure that is still snake oil. LLMs are trained on a dataset so you aren’t getting new data in there. ChatGPT doesn’t pass through UTM parameters. If it’s web search via llm then it’s traditional SEO. Please correct me if I am wrong.

who are the top companies that do LLM-SEO, which is to say that your content is efficiently indexed and cited in ChatGPT, Groq, Gemini and claude?

@Culture_Crit The Amex Platinum effect.

Investors love AI stocks like #MSFT #NVDA #ORCL, but what about hardware? 📢 Stocks like #SCSC & #KN could rise with demand for AI-powered notetaking tools in healthcare & blue-collar jobs. 🚀

@btcbongo @Jason He got a fade

@Jason jason looks a little different today

@Jason Man I want to watch these live, if I only I wasn’t doing things that required my attention 😭

Ai Agent to agent payments will be the biggest use case for crypto in the future. Quote me on this 10 years from now.
