Curious what goes through someone’s mind during a 50-mile run?

I finished the race summary from my first ultra marathon. Check it out.

@thesamparr I miss your actual voice... on MFM ad-reads.

Your ai version is similar enough to be recognizable, but different enough to be creepy.

@howardcjohn Which year did it become a better business than the one you sold?

[Morgan J. Lopes @MorganJLopes]

@Austen sms.
Lemme order by unread, PLEASE!

@elonmusk When is DOGE gonna get around to cookie/GDPR banners on websites?

Delete 'em!

Low hanging win for every American, multiple times a day.

NOTE: The percentages about Earth were the only ai generated piece of this prediction.

[Morgan J. Lopes @MorganJLopes]

People call it a wave.
I thought it was a tsunami.

Now I see the whole world flipping upside down.
We will live underwater...
Engulfed in all forms of AI.

Some will have/find scuba gear.
The rest will be gasping for air.

Huh? Let's scrap the analogy:
Within 36* months, 70% of employees in America will strongly rely** on AI to perform daily business functions.

* 36 months is my conservative estimate
** I'm NOT saying "will be replaced by"

It's wild how many comments see "talking about money" as immature and ego driven, particularly given how many major life decisions are related to income/price.

- housing
- transportation
- marriage
- kids
- education
- retirement
- travel

Recently a 40yo+ friend with 2 kids shared they were making $60k+. They couldn't understand why they weren't able to get ahead or save for the future.

The only person benefiting from my friend's ignorance was his (former) employer.

Because we talk about money... we get better deals, earn higher paying jobs/projects, and find simpler ways to upgrade areas of life.

(bank screenshots are only necessary when someone calls BS on a number, haha.)

@yoalexrapz Information asymmetry is an advantage... for whomever has it.

The more I tell my friends, the more they reciprocate...
increasing our collective advantage.

The bigger the transaction, usually the more true.

The advantage seems to compound over time.

@Austen Every fraud account, spammer, and bot on our app.

Who needs recaptcha when all malicious actors seem to be using the same browser on a windows machine?

@BrentBeshore Convos about optimizations (red light, cold plunge, multivitamins, etc) with people intent on neglecting fundamentals (exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc).

[Morgan J. Lopes @MorganJLopes]

@BrentBeshore Performance vs Aesthetics

[Morgan J. Lopes @MorganJLopes]

@BrentBeshore I can't find a middle ground.
If I'm not continually raising the bar, I'm losing interest.

[Morgan J. Lopes @MorganJLopes]

@SeeBQ @OpenPhone too uncommon a feeling.

I still remember the first time I felt it... thanks @easypost

[Morgan J. Lopes @MorganJLopes]

@BarrettABrooks "No more lattes" would have a similar impact on my marriage too.

[Morgan J. Lopes @MorganJLopes]

@brianpreston haha. They're all just paid actors.
