@mert Social media is the amplifier

Objectively, things are good-ish

But consumer sentiment is the lowest it’s ever been on record, ever

-Lower then 2008 financial crisis
-Lower than 70s inflation

Social media 10x amplifies the bad

And everyone starts believing it

I think people quit WFH too

They’ve been WFH for 5 years now

But they realize…

We’ve been burnt out and isolated for years

I’m calling it here

Offline life is coming back!

[dean @Deanpaletz]

Feels like a lot of people quietly quit Instagram

The algo got way too aggressive

The ones still using it have 5x page views

But the smart ones just quit. Or limit their time

It’s pretty toxic on there

You get Joe Shmo making videos about your exact “interest” at the time

It seems relevant

It makes you feel good (or bad)

But it’s all fake

I actually think the algy was updated on Friday

It was insufferable to login before

According to the internet, everyone is a narcissist

We’ll see what happens from here

Good move on Meta. But they only did this because their engagement is down

@SonnySangha @panduleni_0 @Seanfrank @codyplof @couuor Of course man, I learned so much from your videos- so thank you as well

@JamesonCamp One of the weirdest things about LLMs: they’d rather give you a confident answer than admit they don’t know

@BrettScale0 “Why does this product exist?”

[dean @Deanpaletz]

@rokhladnik What's the % drop in CMPr? I find it hard to believe that went down

[dean @Deanpaletz]

How are you running that, custom software?

I like Dust for its collaboration features. You can co-build agents but also grant access to specific agents. So it's helpful when team members need access but you want to limit their scope/access.

Most importantly, the output is really good

Anyone in eComm still use OpenClaw?

It kept crashing on me. I could probably figure it out (i programmed bots for StarCraft at 13 years old). But doesn't seem worth the hassle

I find AI workspaces with custom agents much better. DUST is great.

@zachmstuck @TaylorHoliday @herrmanndigital @jforjacob @jordanhaswings What about @NotZainAgain

[dean @Deanpaletz]

@hazan0608 Try @joelpadronn, I can vouch for him

[dean @Deanpaletz]

But my chats are special tho 😏 This doesn’t apply to me AT ALL.

My chats aren’t like those basic normie chats. And when I ask it to be objective? It totally is, 100% unbiased.

Plus it always says I’m right anyway! We’re built different fr fr, the AI gets me, you normies wouldn’t understand.

[dean @Deanpaletz]

@anothercohen It looks like a McMansion

[dean @Deanpaletz]

@RollingStone Rolling Stone is now a joke🤣 Yes, we want a safe city. What a dweeb, let’s see this author walk across LA alone at night

[dean @Deanpaletz]

@MartinShkreli You can see the comments work like this:

Step 1. Be antisemitic
Step 2. Desperately search for data to support #1
Step 3. Feel good to avoid own failures

Step 3 is core problem

[dean @Deanpaletz]

@MayorOfLA No one wants to be a police officer when your party demonizes cops as the bad guys and treat criminals like the victims

[dean @Deanpaletz]

@harleyf I love our movies, Google, and technology

Jews are pretty awesome.

We need more Jews!
