@namedotcom hi there - is there an outage with DNS? We have a website offline that seems to use name.com as the DNS provider - but I'm struggling to find out what the issue is
@fesshole Please don’t even joke about this! M99, the drug you you’re referring to, is almost instantly lethal to humans: just 3 micrograms ( one three thousandth of what would be used to dart an elephant) will kill you.
I know it would have to be a smaller dose and all but I'd love someone to randomly shoot me with one of the tranquiliser darts that knock out rhinos and lions for hours at a time. I reckon it'd be the first decent kip I'd have in 20 years.
Big news from RCKa HQ: we're one of 12 teams to share a £1.2m grant from MHCLG to develop our AI #SmallSite finding tool so that it can be scaled up across the country.
This will help boost SME developers and establish national planning policies for suburban intensification.
@kurt My experience exactly!
After reading the hype on the AI shortcut, gave it a spin on their top plan. Churned in 1 day!! (Luckily still in trial).
Fwiw. We are happy, paying customers of the OG @shortcut (nee Clubhouse).
I'd be embarrassed if I started an AI company and tons of requests for refunds came in.

@MichaelMartocci Them: “Can your SaaS print this 90’s-style report?”
Us: “Not exactly, same info, different presentation.”
Them: “We’ll stick with ours. The business is built around this report”
Them, 2030: “Lovable, build us a system that prints this exact report…”
If you believe AI will suddenly replace purpose built SaaS, how do rationalize the fact that many orgs are still using business software that was built in the 90’s, even while many “better” options exist
@TurnerNovak Not really a meaningful comparison. You’re comparing ‘distance’ (market cap -> total value) to ‘speed’ (gdp -> production per year).
For eg, Nvidia trades at a 20-30x ev/revenue multiple, so that comparison is only out by a factor of >20!
@jasonlkequals.com just brilliant. Pull all your data (financial, crm, etc) into a simple spreadsheet (ie formulas/ charts/ vlookups) that you can control and share your own reporting and dashboards.
@theandreboso Kinda like @Kazanjy did with the Founder Sales chatbot #demo-video" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">founderledsalescoach.com/#demo-video
Random weekend idea I was just discussing with a friend.
Let's say I write down most of my marketing knowledge into a few documents. Or at least the basic key stuff new founders need to do to set up the foundations right.
Then I train an AI model on that specific data. I should get something out of it that's different from generic ChatGPT answers because it's trained on my exclusive, proprietary data.
So in theory the product might be able to give founders basic guidance almost as if they asked me directly.
I wonder if it's easily doable and what the final result would be in terms of quality.
@mwmoedinger@1Password This would be a pretty effective strategy (complain loudly and publicly) for a hacker who has guessed your twitter password (ie hijacked your account) to get @1Password to bypass their guard rails and let the hacker into your vault … @mwmoedinger blink twice if it’s really you
So I get to sit here (may or may not have literally punched a wall and screamed to the heavens til I'm hoarse) and....wait? While my entire world is...locked??
Do I get to charge @1Password for my lost productivity? (Not that they care, they have my money already.)
Hello @1Password please help - I'm having huge issues and your stupid AI says I have to wait 48 hours for a response. I signed up for this damn service bc everyone said I should, now, as I predicted, I'm locked out of everything and as I predicted, am in a nightmare.
@tomravenscroft Challenge: I will buy 13 books if you (or archtwitter) can give me a list of 13 men architects who employ (or are leaders in a firm that employs) at least 13 female architects. We will send each of those men a copy of the book!
What's the best cross-platform framework for building iOS and Android apps?
Could we use NodeJS code in it for things like reading/writing network packets and SSH'ing into things on the LAN?
@maxlynch We had a case where a particular font would randomly not show the negative sign in a negative number - but only at particular font sizes (ie 14px: visible, 13px: gone) and only on windows machines. 🤷♂️ fun indeed
One AI product that I'd really pay for is one that helps me design a great website.
The tool would allow me to create a sitemap with the sections I want, then it would apply different styles to make it look amazing.
There are a lot of good website builders on the market, but the most advanced ones all require some design knowledge.
One day there might even be marketplaces where instead of buying templates you could buy models trained on a specific designer's style.
@Patticus Apparently FoMO doesn’t always work!? see the Jolt Effect: - ‘What Matt Dixon discovered after reviewing 2.5 million sales calls was that in 84% of the sales calls, dialing up the FoMO made matters worse, not better’ (stevebizblog.com/new-research-s…)
My best tool to create content that made over $20M:
"Emotional Resonance" maps
When you script an ad, webinar, or sales pitch map how the viewer should feel as they watch it.
Emotional humans buy so much more, so your flat content's losing you money.
Here's how this works...
For every script, I map where a viewer should feel:
- Positive (hope, excited, joy, etc.)
- Negative (fomo, anxiety, despair, etc.)
But here's the secret - the line should arc up or down (ideally both) and end at the highest positive point, which is your CTA.
After doing this 100+ times, there's really only three arcs in business content:
1. Slow, Positive Build
Here the viewer gets progressively more excited. It's the easiest. Aim for this if you're new.
2. Anxiety-Fomo-Hope Sales Arc
Here the viewer gets anxious and fomo about not having your product. This should be most sales pitches.
3. Hope-Despair-Triumph Fairytale Arc
Here the viewer roots for a character (which could be them), but then bad things happen. Then BOOM, they're going to make it (with your product).
You can also make these much more precise down to the second, but keep it simple at first.
Anyways - there's a lot more I could go deeper on.
If interesting, just reply with questions or enthusiasm and I'll oblige with more content. :)
