It’s been 4 days since https://t.co/oy7q6bEbc7 launched.

Startups dropping $10k–$15k just to sit at the top of a temporary leaderboard for a few hours of hype traffic… is this actually marketing, or pure FOMO burning runway?

@zicojzc @jonathan_wilke @yongfook 😅😂🤣🤣

@markproduct I use it and have no regrets.

Spent the night adding video gen capabilities to https://t.co/BH0E9zqGbn.

The part I love: it's editable. "Extend this video" actually continues the clip. "Add new scenes" builds on the same character, same world.

Editing video by describing the edit still feels illegal.

@UchePOkoye Haha, this is good!😆😅

Friday reminder for founders:

Log off. Call a friend. Be with your family. Play some sport. Exercise. Most importantly, get some real rest this weekend!

The startup will be there Monday. The people you love? Don't wait on those.

[Elvis Duru @ElvisDuru]

Not bad indeed 😁😅

@paulg I wonder what the question was. Also, I hope the answer was satisfactory.

Many of the reader comments beside my column today note that "settler" is benign and something of a euphemism, suggesting that we need a new word ("hilltop youth" is even worse). Thoughts about what term is more appropriate?

@JMNow @bot You can build apps and operate a SaaS with https://t.co/zGixTDG4ho. Give it a try!

[Elvis Duru @ElvisDuru]

@RussellCanfield @ericzakariasson Fair point. The hardest part with these cross‑app agentic bots isn’t getting them to act, it’s making their actions verifiable. Autonomy without traceability turns into slop pretty fast.

[Elvis Duru @ElvisDuru]

@mistokes99 @ericzakariasson yeah, it's still beta, but from what I've seen so far, there's much cheaper alternatives that can do what grok bot claims.

[Elvis Duru @ElvisDuru]

@chazza @ericzakariasson Hey @chazza - curious, what workflows in your travel platform you’d want Grok Bot to handle?

[Elvis Duru @ElvisDuru]

How does this differ from much cheaper/free tools like https://t.co/zGixTDG4ho, Manus, Hermes, OpenClaw, etc. What does Grok bot do better?

[Grok Bot @bot]

Introducing Grok Bot, now in early beta.

Bots are AI teammates that do real work for you. They sign in to your tools, use them just like you do, and come back with finished work.

SL2T is our breakthrough sign language-to-text model powering new features for Deaf and hard of hearing users on @Android.

Starting with American Sign Language-to-English on Pixel 11, people can sign directly into Gboard and Live Transcribe instead of typing.
