Everything is AI slop now.

If everybody is a content creator, then we are doomed as a society.
I want people to be vulnerable and share their life experiences.
I don’t want a freaking “Truman show”
Karim Zitouni@kzitouni1
3 skills every founder must have in 2026: -producing content -distributing content -being consistent with it AI might just solve everything else, but not content/distro.

Nonsense.
If you are “addicted” to any coding tools, you need to go out for a walk, look at whatever is in front of you, be in the moment, and realise that life is not about getting addicted to any coding tools.

Hey founders, which AI coding tool are you most addicted to? - cursor - codex - claude Code

Nonsense.
Customers don’t want to just “talk”. They don’t care about you. They only care about what’s in it for them.
Find what’s in it for them - what moves their “needle”, only then will anyone “talk” to you.
Hubert Thieblot@hthieblot
Please get addicted to talking to your customers as a founder

San Francisco is the only place where someone can casually say: “yeah we’re training a reasoning model” while wearing a hoodie from college and carrying groceries from Trader Joe’s.

LinkedIn feels like an alumni reunion gathering.
X is more like a “new students orientation party” where everyone is trying to impress everyone else.
Samay@Samaytwt
Be honest If LinkedIn also starts giving payouts like X, would you use it?

Always pivot (even if slightly).
You’d not be asking “pivot or persevere” if you didn’t need to pivot.
Trust the gut feeling.

Might never be as well off and intelligent as @paulg, but I did start planting a “fruit forest” in my ancestral village — will retire there some day and make some pizzas myself.
Paul Graham@paulg
First pizzas of the season.

Observation —
As a founder, your main goal is to sell. And to sell, you need to find your audience (which can later become your customer), to find that audience, you have to increase your surface area (socials, cold emails, events etc etc) , you need to find more ways to get “lucky”.
At the end of the day, startups are mainly about luck and volume.
Right place at the right time with the right people.

They say “taste” , at least that’s what I keep hearing
