@FDavidsonT If odessia can book you pujol (one of my favorites as well) in less than 3 days that would be worth the subscription.

Interesting

Command mode could be so good. But it's so bad? @WisprFlow

1. Writes horrible, and doesn't follow instructions.
2. Use it to "ask a question" and it literally just times out.

It has never worked well for me.

Codex just ran for 2h 26m 30s. Holy moly.

All their comments are turned off. If you don't know the story, I encourage you to look it up.

Saw a cool video, embedded on a website via Vimeo. Wanted the transcript but couldn't download the video. Pinged my Agent "Hey go grab the video and transcribe for me" 3 minutes later voila. It stresses me out how little people use AI.

@godofprompt Happy someone is appropriately using the paid partnership tag.

@evanlapointe :( too late :(

I keep a bunch of random ideas in my Notion for articles I might write someday. This note I wrote in 2021 at the height of ZIRP wasn't that far off, I guess.

My Chinese friend said people who are rich in America become powerful, but people who are powerful in China become rich.

I'm cancelling Notion. I literally have no use for it now.

I keep all my data in Obsidian and recall it when I need it via my agents.

Software I don't use anymore:
1. Fantastical
2. Notion
3. Gmail, mostly

Replaced with a $100/month ChatGPT plan + DeepSeek/Kimi API costs.

Tumblr is making a resurgence in popular culture. Probably as a counter-movement against all the highly optimized platforms out there.

[Johnny Quach 🏓 @JohnnyQuachy]

I asked Codex if there are any good MCP YouTube tools out there so I can use AI to manage my table tennis channel.

It suggested that it should just build one.

I said yes.

And now it's managing my titles, meta descriptions, tags, etc.

I'm so impressed.

[Johnny Quach 🏓 @JohnnyQuachy]

nice :p @nikitabier

[Johnny Quach 🏓 @JohnnyQuachy]

I'm starting to think the real AI benchmark is not AI vs humans. It is one person using AI well vs another using it poorly. AI does not use itself. The gap is taste, context, and integration.

I've seen a few VC funds that have raised $50-100M rounds and state, "We've been investing in AI for 10+ years."

If you've been investing in AI for 10+ years and have not had insane asymmetric returns, you might need to review your strategy.

The bots are out for @Jason every comment is SPAC spasm

Gemini is one of the worst enterprise options out there. Yet I'm still super long on Google.

The obvious strategy: become the intelligence layer of every company.

Google already owns the suite, documents, meetings, and company data.

Google Meet should let you query all of it.

Just built an MCP server from scratch for YouTube via Codex.

Unnh... I guess I'm going to have it manage YouTube.

[Johnny Quach 🏓 @JohnnyQuachy]

AI still hates table tennis.
