I don’t even know if there’s anyone saying anything meaningful on this platform. 90% of the timeline is obviously AI-generated. 80% of it doesn’t make any sense. Still, I’m here to run experiments, fight the algorithm, and find friends.

@GlobeEyeNews this seems editable...

BREAKING: Iran officially closes Strait of Hormuz.

the best coding agent is the one that makes you stop hovering over its shoulder. I spent days trying to get OpenClaw into a state that felt actually usable. And even after that, I kept catching myself re-checking scripts. By that point it was already a habit. Too many times, the execution felt shallow. Too many times, the details weren’t really thought through. So I kept reviewing everything. Hermes Agent gave me a very different experience. Setup was clear. I got it running in hours, not days. What stood out fast was how much closer the output felt to my actual intent. The task tracking felt tighter. The details felt more deliberate. There was way less of that vague **almost right** feeling that forces you to go back and inspect everything. That constant double-checking habit came from OpenClaw. With Hermes, I still check important parts. But I’m not automatically pulled into reviewing every file line by line anymore. btw, so far my $20/month Codex subscription has been enough for Hermes too.

I used to think every useful feature had to justify itself with revenue. Bad mindset. The most shareable part of my 3D world design agency wasn't the paid work. It was the free concept preview, a fast 3D scene people could instantly build, send around, react to, and talk about. It didn't monetize. But it distributed well. That's when it clicked: Some features are monetization layers. Some are distribution layers. Treat the second like the first, and you kill GROWTH.

@unusual_whales The boy is winning

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market. Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down. These orders were much larger than anything else at the time. The traders made huge gains. Unusual.

@WhiteHouse WH hired a crypto intern. What a world we live in.

LET HIM COOK.

@OpenAI awesome. now drop 5.5

Introducing GPT-Rosalind, our frontier reasoning model built to support research across biology, drug discovery, and translational medicine.

If I switch to Opus 4.7, I have to explain $200/month in AI bills to my wife. If I stay on Codex, I have to explain why it refactored the entire codebase instead of fixing one typo. Honestly? The marriage is more important.

@nalinrajput23 IE is undefeatable

Guess the browser ?

@unusual_whales is that how it is or just sentiment?

Only 28% of small business owners now say the U.S. economy is in good health, per FORTUNE

@Bhavani_00007 if you can't code, you can't vibe-code. period.

Is coding still worth learning in the AI era?

@stacy_muur what’s your take on trend-jacking for small accounts?

@Kalshi exactly as my uncle and my dad. diplomacy is hard.

JUST IN: Israel and Lebanon leaders to speak for first time in 30+ years today

@SaraDiscovers Nah. If you can’t vibe, you can’t code. And you definitely can’t vibe code.

Unpopular opinion: If you can't code, you can't vibe code.

Q for everyone watching OpenClaw: if you didn’t build a prediction market arbitrager in the last 2 months, what were you even doing?

@IAmPascio @vitaliidodonov I need that DOC

I grew the 𝕏 account of @vitaliidodonov from 0 to 10K followers in just 3 months. Lots of people have asked me how I did it. So I just wrote up an entire PDF explaining my strategy. If you want the full case study doc for FREE, reply "DOC" and I'll DM it to you right now.

@HenningSittler @elonmusk @grok what do you think?

@marcusespill @elonmusk The right way?

@LiquidFossil @elonmusk Chicago isn’t ready for this too

@marcusespill @elonmusk And what about in Washington DC when the roads change sides at certain hours? They are one way streets

@sciencegirl I can confirm this gpt 5.4 thinking process visualization

What is the moral of the story

@Codie_Sanchez mind sharing more on the wealth transfer through small business equity?

things keeping me up at night (business edition): 1. private equity moving downmarket and competing with individual buyers on deals they used to ignore 2. how many AI companies are spending $6-7 for every $1 they earn and what happens when that corrects 3. the number of small business owners over 60 with no succession plan and no idea what their business is actually worth 4. housing costs at 5-8x median income while wages haven't kept pace since the '80s 5. how few people understand that the biggest wealth transfer in history is happening right now, mostly through small business equity 6. the gap between how much people talk about AI and how few are actually using it to improve businesses they already own 7. how most business owners still don’t understand how to read a p&l
