Painfully trying to grow my twitter from scratch 😅

If you like tech, web3, investing, market behavior, even broad interests let's follow each other and connect!

My DM's are open to yap!

Food for Thought:

This was probably how the initial AI browsers were supposed to work, it sees your screen, and you can ask it questions on how to navigate some complicated dashboard.

But I could see a separate entity having a market opportunity here.

As the concerns of privacy increase we've seen privacy and security markets thrive, NordVPN, Proton Mail, the main AI companies could "sandbox" your screen so it only sees the window you want it to, but there will always be a concern for privacy with using AI.

The underrated use of AI is the bespoke nature of it. By this I mean you can create your very own custom tooling for your own personal needs, which is insanely helpful if you ever come across repetitive or redundant tasks.

This cut one of my business tasks down to mere seconds instead of minutes. Showing the process in how simple it can be. 1/n 🧵

So codex suggested I use an Apple shortcuts and wrote a small script for me. It would need to run on an active Mac device (maybe this is where a dedicated Mac mini would be helpful).

It out stands me, I didn't even know apple shortcuts was a thing, I had to find out through codex, not Apple. And I've been an Apple user for a decade, interesting distribution path I'd say...

Unfortunately it seemed codex didn't really know how to step by step setup the shortcuts, take a look. This isn't intuitive or simple at all, it's just a jumbled mess.

I had to constantly reiterate back and forth with correction codex, "No there is no option for that variable name, what you're referencing isn't there."

I'd keep showing screenshots to give it full context of what the UI looks like, and what options, features, and buttons are shown on my end.

This was the largest pain point, constantly correcting codex. Eventually everything got ironed out and the finished product was complete.

I believe this is a much needed solution for AI navigating what you see on your computer, and how it sees your frontend.

How can it accurately direct you to your destination if it's reading a completely different map?

@NoelWieder @grok How much is the original Mona Lisa worth in USD today?

Fintech and legacy payment processing networks, banks are rapidly realizing the value of stablecoin technology. You can't fight it, but you can adopt it.

There's a specific approach to adopting this new technology. I wrote about the best optimal path to adoption, and future winners needed for this adoption. https://t.co/wRoivQsQjK

@firstadopter The common playbook with this admin has been:

>Push for control and coerce using forceful measures
>Answer is no?
>Vilify and paint them the issue until agreement is made

Same exact playbook used by the under secretary of war. https://t.co/TMtEe4LqzL

[Under Secretary of War Emil Michael @USWREMichael]

It’s a shame that @DarioAmodei is a liar and has a God-complex. He wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation’s safety at risk.

The @DeptofWar will ALWAYS adhere to the law but not bend to whims of any one for-profit tech company.

[Coinbase 🛡️ @coinbase]

This Bitcoin Pizza Day, we’re celebrating how far crypto has come since 2010 in helping to create a cheaper, faster system.

Welcome to the Coinbase Pizza Truck.
$1 USDC slices.
Payment easy as pie.

Washington Square Park, NYC
12-5PM EST
Stop by if you’re in town.

This moment is what clicked for the use case of stable coins.

Coinbase sponsored brought a pizza truck to NYC where you could buy a slice of pizza for $1 USDC, not $1 US dollar but USD Coin.

No legacy 3% credit card payment processing fees, the middleman could effectively be cut out.

Where stables provide instantaneous, borderless settlement and transaction fees are fractions of a cent.

This was the inflection point for me that stable coins could disrupt and shift the financial flow and become the new modern day payment system.

I can't unsee the writing patterns and cadence AI brings from people using it.

"It's not this, it's this!"

I can't unsee it, posts like these are littered everywhere. Please spare my eyes, they've seen enough.
