@girdley If Doritos has no fans I’m dead

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why nobody buys Doritos anymore For decades, Doritos was the undisputed king of snack chips in America, generating more than $4 billion in annual sales. Through Taco Bell alone, the Doritos Locos Tacos franchise sold more than $1 billion worth of product. At one point, Doritos seemed unstoppable. But lately, things have gone wrong. Its parent company, PepsiCo, has lost more than $60 billion in market value, and Frito-Lay, the division responsible for Doritos, has reported five consecutive quarters of declining sales. Now, activist investors have arrived with billions of dollars and a mandate to turn the business around. So what happened to one of the most successful consumer brands in history? How did a product that once dominated American culture lose its momentum? This is the rise and fall of Doritos.

@cvndvce This is a perfect tweet just thought you should know

@NatalieKorach As opposed to what? What do you want her to do? No shade but this is not news. I’m sure whatever she does next will be more interesting than writing about what she’s doing in the lead up to it my girl…

I do believe my favorite Americanism is saying “and I was like” instead of “I said”

@jacksondahl @tylercowen @nabeelqu "Do you experience art primarily by thinking or by feeling?" "I don't even know what those words mean" - @tylercowen a real one😂

Dialectic ep. 50: Tyler Cowen & Nabeel Qureshi! You could talk to @tylercowen and @nabeelqu about anything and it would be interesting. Nabeel is a former guest and a true polymath who can go wide and deep. He'd long suggested I interview his friend and mentor Tyler: the epitome of that archetype. I wanted to do something special for 50, so I paired them together and hoped for some magic. I think we got some, and a few laughs, too. Despite their day jobs, Tyler and Nabeel are unlikely aesthetes who became friends in part through their shared love of film and art. So I spoke to them about how great art is often strange, aesthetic evolution, and a tour through some of their favorite artists (especially musicians). We also discussed sacred commitments, AI acceleration, good group chats, mentorship, whether Tyler will stop writing books, creating a bat signal for talent, becoming a great interviewer, Twitter's virtues, New York City, and more.

@signulll This 😭

the most anti signal behavior imaginable is reading the new york times to find out what counts as high signal lmao. inadvertent irony from the world’s most credentialed slop factory.

In a new policy paper released today, we share how a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to AI regulation that recognizes the unique challenges and opportunities of both frontier AI and widely-deployed AI applications can help us ensure everyone in America benefits from AI.

@MTSlive @maxmarchione @superpower I’m listening

SITUATION EXPLAINED: What comes after GLP-1s as the next human enhancement drug? We asked @maxmarchione, founder of @superpower "GLP-1s, when developed to treat diabetes and obesity, are largely used to make people look better, to maybe increase energy levels. They're used for human enhancement." "I think the next big human enhancement drug is going to be something that allows you to sleep less but feel the same and live the same." "Eli Lilly has actually made a bet on this. They acquired a small molecule that targets narcolepsy... the reason they're paying $6 billion for this is not because it's a narcolepsy drug. It's because they think this same drug could allow normal people, average people, everyone to sleep four hours a night, five hours a night, and feel like they've slept eight." "This drug is an orexin agonist... higher orexin levels are what we see in people who have the short sleeper phenotype."

@seconds_0 The art of not being a weirdo and actually engaging cannot be understated

@tbpn @garyvee The pendulum swings for all

"We're about to see the explosion of analog." @garyvee wants to open a restaurant that makes you check your phone in at the door and seats you at communal tables. "Extreme AI is creating extreme analog. I think it's a barbell." "I could not be more interested in physical retail, event-driven businesses, in concerts and venues." "There are a lot of interesting non-digital realities that are coming as a countermove to the insanity of AI advancements." "We're literally within a half decade of not believing a single video that's on the internet. In 5 years, if we're having this interview, most of the audience is trying to figure out if we're real or not." "That is very real, and has substantial counter-opportunities." "Any real entrepreneur, they're not crying about AI killing them. They're curious about how AI at scale is going to create opportunity for them."
