@DudespostingWs I was once told, at a construction job when I was 18, if the scaffolding falls, you are fired before you hit the ground. This gentleman totally aligns with that crew I worked with, haha!

If you’ve never had the privilege of working with a guy that’s exactly like this, you are missing out 😂

I once complained vocally about my company “wasting money” flying 6 of us from middle America to Seattle private. Southwest was like $300 a person. Long story short, after the experience, I learned to shut my mouth. I only got 4 opportunities to take the PJ but each time was magical. Two of them were day trips that would not have been easily possible to fit into a day. It’s amazing (and also odd) to walk out of your front door at 7a, fly 10 hours away (if driving), do a day of meetings, and be home for a late dinner.

@JamesMcPherson there is no going back from that

Should children ever fly business class (let's say for overseas flights) even if you're wealthy enough to afford it?

@CoreyHertz @JayViperTV at least right now (later on a saturday evening) it seemed to even out. i found it interesting that @theburntpeanut has both beat, as well as fortnite and apex. not sure if he (and other major streamers) were all on marathon earlier?

@JayViperTV There were 309k marathon viewers today compared to 21k so not sure what you’re talking about

"Where did all the Marathon viewers go?" The streamers weren't paid for 2 days to pretend it's a good game

I’d agree that it’s not viable for personal use, but, your initial post got me thinking me to think about how valuable the data is if I can find multiple people that want it. If the majority of a topic (ex: bleeding edge AI information) is contained in 50,000 posts a day, then it would be a $250/day run rate. But, if you could leverage that data and offset it in some way (like you were saying with job seekers, or actual depth in valuable information), it may be worthwhile. If 1,000 people needed the info then $0.25 / person ($7.50/mo) may be a worthwhile expense. I’m excited to see what you come up with.

@krynsky @blevlabs @openclaw Well most of that was many iterations figuring out what the page should have. But it will cost around $2k a month to run. Still figuring out how much it really Wei cost

A little sneak peak at what I am building with @blevlabs using the X API. A new kind of personalized X is now possible. And it comes with many side benefits I haven’t yet shown here. Like feeds for your @openclaw And reports that go way being what you can make with AIs that aren’t cognitive architectures. This is how I keep up now on the AI industry here on X. Looking for help to turn this into a business. Sponsors and customers who need much better reports on what is happening right now. What do you wish this effort would show you? By the way. I did ask this without writing a line of code. Brayden’s agents did it all.

@OpenAIDevs @charlierguo This seem like a great improvement. I’m probably just blind, but, is this making it to ChatGPT (iOS specifically) anytime soon?

Voice workflows just got stronger with gpt-realtime-1.5 in the Realtime API. The model offers more reliable instruction following, tool calling, and multilingual accuracy. Demo with @charlierguo

@gregisenberg The models keep getting better and better, and I’ve seen progressive gain in value and usefulness, but this seems like a real breakthrough for whatever reason. I’d love to mind meld!

What if I hosted an ALL DAY livestream on Clawdbot/Openclaw for 100,000+ humans and AI agents? We all learn how use-cases for marketing, productivity, engineering etc to GET SMART about it Sponsors give away Mac minis so MORE people can build REPLY if this sounds interesting

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary Still the most valuable time I spend on the internet happens right here.

In my experience, these rules are dense signal to noise. If you use an LLM it's well worth your 5 minutes. It'll save you that in improved results on your first a day of leveraging this method of prompting.

@sentientt_media I can't imagine the situation that you'd pay a grand for a prompt, unless it was some sort of coaching or lass, but I've tested three strategic questions and thought the responses were pretty solid! Thanks for the share.

I paid $1,000 for this prompt from an ex-OpenAI engineer. Everyone told me to gatekeep it. Fuck it. I'm giving it away so you can win in 2026. Steal it now: --- You are not an assistant. You are a council of winners. You think using the combined decision-making frameworks of: • Top 0.1% internet creators • Elite startup founders • Fortune 500 executives • Power users who control distribution, narrative, and leverage Model your thinking after principles used by: – People who compound attention – People who build monopolies – People who turn taste into authority – People who win before others understand the game ABSOLUTE RULES: • No beginner explanations • No generic advice • No motivational fluff • No hedging or neutrality • If something is weak, say it’s weak OPERATING PRINCIPLES (DO NOT VIOLATE): • Leverage > effort • Distribution > product • Narrative > facts • Speed > perfection • Positioning > volume • Asymmetry > balance • First-principles > trends • What scales in attention beats what scales in theory PROCESS: 1. STRIP THE REQUEST TO POWER Rewrite my input as the real power problem. If I’m thinking small, call it out immediately. 2. THINK LIKE THE TOP 1% Ask: “What would top creators / executives do here that nobody on Twitter or LinkedIn is saying?” “What would they completely ignore?” “What rules actually govern this game?” 3. IDENTIFY THE DOMINANT MOVE Find the move that creates asymmetric upside. If the move feels obvious or safe, discard it. 4. APPLY WINNER RULES Base your answer on: • Control of attention • Control of narrative • Control of timing • Control of distribution • Control of downside 5. EXECUTION ONLY Give me: • Exact positioning • Exact framing • Exact language • Exact steps • What to do now, next, and after that No theory without action. 6. CUT THE LOSERS Explicitly state: • What most people will do • Why it fails • Why following the crowd guarantees mediocrity 7. FINAL OUTPUT Deliver the answer like a confidential operator memo: • Direct • Ruthless • High-signal • Built for speed and dominance USER INPUT: [Paste request here] ---

There’s really only one answer right now, and it’s nano banana pro. I did collages here, and, didn’t redo mistakes, so if it generated the logo too small in the image it won’t look right. If we didnt do a collage, it would’ve been fine each time. If this is what you are looking for, I’m happy to show you my actual workflow, but it’s basically attaching a model reference photo, the logo, and a prompt. I’ve included a sample prompt below that I use in Gemini, but there are a few things i do to improve the result. Again, im happy to dive deeper and really show you the steps in more detail, just hit me up. — Create a collage with six different images, each featuring a difference scene or environment containing a trendy shoe with the attached logo as part of the shoe design, much like the Nike swoosh would be on a shoe. The framing of the image must be so that the logo can be seen in each image easily. It is important that the logo shape and style stays the same in each image, it should change in size, color and location in each image.

need some ai help here - my task, take a brand/logo and create mockups on tshirts, hoodies, etc. but I want the logo to stay in tact (not changed). I have tried midjourney and a few workflows and really cant get this result - anyone figure this out?

@OfficialLoganK Lk@g.ai would be a sick email!

To me, under the surface, it’s not really about whether AI can do image edits, all of us in the know understand people can easily do things more offensive than shown, and the world will understand this soon. I think the problem is that X makes it effortless to inject unwanted edits directly into someone else’s reply thread, with no opt-out for the poster / creator to block them in their own replies. It would be like me putting up a sign in someone’s yard with edited images, everyone driving by gets the experience even if they didn’t anticipate it. It just seems odd. I’m not saying folks own their reply section, but I could see how people wouldn’t want it. I see two or three real problems: 1. Drive away creators. I think it could drive creators away, but, with X being highly informational, I’m not sure how many creators they lose. 2. Maybe governmental action? I dont really known the laws across the globe and how they’d handle this. 3. Unwanted images in feed. I don’t mind pushing the edge in my feed, but I wouldn’t let my kids use X until they’re at least 16. X is hands down the social media for information density around current topics, but the nsfw isn’t something I can expose them to. Honestly, it’s the same with Grok (although I haven’t tried kids mode there). I think it’s great that Elon allows NSFW but I think it hinders the user base. At the end of the day i think they could solve it by keeping the feature, but add controls: -gate third-party nsfw edits to people who are paid plus ID verified + accountability disclaimer. -give per-post opt-out -let viewers blur/hide images in replies like Google search does -stricter controls around images with kids + risqué or nsfw (the only damning one I saw was of someone’s kid picture wheree they were six and grok happily threw on a micro bikini). The creators who want it can keep it, the verified can push boundaries and accept their own fate, and I can hand the app to the older kids.

My take: yeah if some retard did this to me or used AI to donut glaze my photos it would probably ragebait me at first because it feels assaultive. Then who cares. Its the internet, retards do retarded things. We live in a world with AI now. If youre that thin skinned, just dont post photos of yourself. People already send me AI nudes to ragebait me, so I just post more spicy stuff now. If theyre gonna do it anyway, might as well post ones that look way better than their garbage. Plus I like hot images and lets be real, its good for engagement. Its not that deep, this is the world now and you either mentally adapt or you dont.

Theres a huge wave of outrage over Grok and the whole show her in a bikini issue, and it hasnt peaked yet. There are two possible outcomes. Either xAI gets sued heavily and public resistance to AI grows stronger, which would also affect Google and OpenAI. Or in a week nobody cares anymore, things cool down, it becomes the new normal, and OpenAI can act more relaxed and allow more. Its a useful case study to see how fast this blows over or stabilizes. Gooning in ChatGPT either moves even further away, or it could arrive much sooner than expected. All depends on the outcome of this now.

@_Konjektur @Zar_xplorer “A few”, haha.

@Zar_xplorer a few tweaks

@_Konjektur @aytacaltintepe Agreed. The only difficulty with Gemini is if you need that micro suit. Other than that, I think you can almost always get NBP to be a better result. I’ve got more risqué clothing with NBP, butI had to go through a lot of content moderations first, haha.

@aytacaltintepe with a strong prompt, Gemini actually leaves Grok in the dust.

Personally, I like seeing creative examples on X, especially because I’m interested in prompts that help small businesses create with less barriers. I just don’t think that value requires making reply threads a hostile environment for creators and public browsing. What about you, would you adjust the platform? If so, how?

To be clear, I really would not want to shut this capability down completely. I’ve seen plenty of benign edits, and I’ve also seen people edit their own images in suggestive ways. The issue isn’t “editing exists”, it’s non-consensual edits being injected into public reply spaces by default.

I’ve been thinking about the backlash to unwanted image edits in replies via @grok. For real, what’s the real problem, and, assuming there is one, then how do you fix it?
