I need help. I'm a tech guy, data guy, who's decent at product but pretty awful at marketing. Part of the reason is that I just don't like it. Does anyone have tips for how techie folks can hate marketing less and get better at it?

Powerful words from @Liv_Boeree on factory farming, "the darkest of human creations" I share her cause for hope: an institution so uniformly despised can't endure forever.

Factory farming is a blight. The practices of industrialized animal farming are aesthetically and morally revolting. These practices can be phased out. Read the new article by @Liv_Boeree (link below):

Politicians are racing to protect family farms from the threat of "fake meat." But the bigger threat is "fake natural meat": factory-farmed junk labeled to look like it's pasture-raised. Where are the politicians protecting true family farms from this unfair competition?

All my workflows are going to change quite a bit as soon as OpenAI's Atlas browser agent is (a) faster and (b) a touch smarter. And honestly, the slowness is probably a bigger deal. It's already rather smart, but it's *painfully* slow for me right now. Still impressed, though!

I showed a developer friend Codex CLI on a Wednesday and said "you should check this out." I came back the following Tuesday and he'd built out an entire frontend for a new mobile app plus an esports blog landing page website for his kid, in his spare time outside of his job. 🚀

One of my favorite ways to use Codex or Claude Code is as a data analyst. Here's what I do: 1) I created a "read only" service account into my Google BigQuery data warehouse where all of our raw data and analytics-ready data lives. 2) Then I created an MCP for Codex and Claude

ChatGPT Pulse is actually really nice. Every day I get a mixture of news, advice, and ideas directly related to everything I'm interested in and working on. I could definitely see this being the start of the beginning of a new type of feed. Not quite news, not social media,

The Animal Ag Alliance just released its confidential report from a spy it placed at this year's animal movement summit. They recorded all the most outrageous quotes of the crazy, radical things I say behind closed doors. I think this really exposes my true hidden agenda...

The cool thing about AI doctors (and AI anythings) is that theoretically you can roll out improvements across your whole medical system instantly. Imagine that AI doctors systematically get something wrong. Fix it, push it to the model, done. Your whole network now has the

In many ways, AI can be the great equalizer. The best knowledge, the best capabilities, in the pocket of anyone with a smartphone globally, for cheap or free. That's revolutionary, and it's the most revolutionary for the people who currently have the least.

Aldi, one of Germany's largest retailers, will soon stop selling all of the worst factory-farmed products! It has already eliminated eggs and pork from caged animals. Meanwhile its US subsidiary, @AldiUSA, has yet to take even basic steps to stop relying on cages and crates.

Very excited to see Poland's Parliament vote 339 - 78 to ban fur farming! The issue united Poland's centrist PM and his conservative rival, Kaczyński, whose only objection was "I'd like it to be cut [more] quickly and radically" Animal welfare is a unifying political issue

When you think about video, audio, and sensor data, you realize that we are nowhere near the limit of how much data we can produce and feed to AI. We're just at the beginning. That is both exhilarating and terrifying. We're entering a wild future.

As wild as this sounds, it might be right, especially once you start thinking about robotics and everything that would be needed to automate more of the economy.

@eyad_khrais @MartinWawrusch @rasmickyy @WhopIO I think you underestimate how much quality software still needs to be built. The entire world can be automated, we’ve probably only built < 1% of the software we will need.
