Need a Hollywood movie about this Coldplay thing. Keep Coldplay. Jason Segal as the CEO and Kristen Bell as his employee girlfriend. Nicholas Stoller screenplay. IDK where it goes from there but I've already set it up for an $85m opening weekend.

Couple years ago, HSN reached out to get my products on their channel. They wanted me to go through a distributor, pick talent. Lotta hoops. Couple months later, the distributor ghosted me & HSN fell through. I just found out it’s because they went out of business!.

I normally wear contacts. Bad eyes, -9.00. Have had to wear glasses the last week. Absolutely unbearable! Productivity is at an all time low. I shouldn’t even be allowed to drive with these on, I can’t see anything outside of what’s directly in front of me.

Adding a spin on the @tylertringas post using AI for legal stuff. Upload everything so you can understand where you are with a contract, dispute, etc. BUT ALSO:. Start a brand new chat (no memory) & pretend you are the opposing party on the contract. It'll be enlightening.

I've mostly pivoted away from ChatGPT. Was hallucinating a ton about basic details and kissing up to me way too often. Claude Sonnet 4 is my new daily driver, but has a much lower context window. Grok 4 is very detailed, but takes a long time to generate answers.

If the future of AI mentioning your brand is by posting on reddit, count me out.

NGL dealing w/ house fire stuff on top of regular life/work is hard. Construction delays, awful communications, legal stuff, people trying to rip me off, etc. I like to think that when this is all over I will be able to withstand anything, and everything will be easy by.

I paid someone to do this thing for me a couple months ago. Deliverables are late. I reached 2 weeks ago and asked how things are going. Family member died. Sad, understandable. This week they’re having trouble transporting the body. I’m never getting this project back.

Today’s the last day to move AmEx points to Hawaiian/Alaska. Alaska is such a good program, I might move a bunch points on speculation to use later on AA domestic and other partners.

Watching the house down the street come down. Developers have cornered this part of town. Buy a lot for $300-500k, build a $1.5-2m zero lot line house on it. They’re all pretty ugly, too

Just make money, stupid.
i dont think you understand. you vibe code a saas. you get to $50k/month. your net margins are at least 50% because you dont need a big team anymore. you are making $25k/month ($300k/year). you can sell the business for 10-15x EBITDA all day long. your business is worth $3M-$5M.

Considering doing SMS marketing finally. Seems like everyone in ecommerce is on Postscript (have heard lots of good things). Anyone have strong feelings about Klaviyo SMS? Was thinking about starting there since it's already my ESP.

It's not just temporary chats!. I'm using 4o to read a 2 page PDF and it's straight up generating fake quotes, dates, everything. Have never seen anything like it. I'm already skeptical of AI's answers but this is a whole new level and makes me want to abandon chatGPT entirely.
Caution : ChatGPT 4o is a complete liar in temporary chats. In a brand new chat, I asked it to summarize a 2 page PDF and it's fabricating quotes. I accuse it of lying, and it admits it, then makes up more fake info. Be careful!.
