91% of designers use AI weekly, up from 54% in 2025.
7 average AI tools used per designer up from 3 in 2025.

Met a guy making $3.6 million a year

With one of the cleanest digital plays I've ever heard of

He scrapes the App Store for apps with 50k+ downloads but no updates in 18+ months

DMs the developers with $2-3k cash offers. Most accept fast, they've moved on

Hires a Filipino dev for $400/month to add subscriptions and refresh the listing

Each app starts pulling $800-3,000/month passive

Owns 220+ across categories he doesn't even use

Spends 5 hours a week on the whole portfolio

Inspiring

@darylginn At least he has "taste"

[Great2BNate @Great2BN8]

@LukeW This is called "Wednesday" on a Design Sprint.

Can taste be taught?

Seems like art school, photography school and movie director schools know how to teach it.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT.

The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time.

A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B.

Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself.

GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won.

Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective.

It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect.

Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance.

99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time.

If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars.

Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

I can't believe we were right

Absolutely nothing good will come from opening the door to mass day trading

Retail "day trading" generally is a TikTok oneshot designed to bankrupt you while you forestall doing literally anything else useful

[Great2BNate @Great2BN8]

@BrettFromDJ @DhravyaShah It's hard to write simply

[Bobby from Dupe.com @ghoshal]

@julie_mo And they use the word "AI" when they're marketing to a generation of ppl who hate AI.

@SovArPublishing @Apolitical3678 He meant anti-satanic

Lock Lutnick in a closet. Address the nation live, release JFK/USS Liberty/911/Butler/Charlie/Epstein files in full. Arrest infiltrators, expel all dual citizens from government, all illegals from the country. Abolish the IRS, FBI, CIA (confiscate all the latter's black money, disburse to citizens). Apologize, Repent, accept Jesus. Breathe easy as an unburdened courageous man who has met his responsibility.

@vanschneider Right. Using anything more and you were a designer!

@hemeon That's cool. Ppl paid me $5 just to watch me on Photoshop. No big deal.

A mac mini with 32gb can run supergemma 24b reasonably well, which is a reasonable model and totally uncensored. Total cost $899 with student discount. Super easy to setup too.

What is an alternative you think is better at a similar price point? Is there one?

( I would much prefer a blackwell but it’s $13k! )
