I have decided to perform an experiment on X

Imo most people have ok ideas, but they typically try and "polish" them far too much, which leads them to posting little or not at all

I myself am sitting on goldmines, and see many of my thoughts originate on the TL 3-6 months after I have them

Why not just get them on the TL 3-6 months earlier? If I have good ideas, and X can circulate them, I can meaningfully improve the transition to a more effective global economy

So my plan is to start stream-of-consciousness-maxxing, posting whatever is on my mind. Even if 90%+ of them are objectively trash, like the door-to-door outreach I used to do, it only takes one to balance the chequebook EOM

However, I don't want X to take over my life, as it has with many others

So my half-baked plan to do this is roughly as follows:

1. I'll use a chrome extension to delete everything but the "post" button on X's frontend, and then just have this open in a tab 24/7. This is "productive X"
2. When I have a new idea throughout the course of my day, even if trash, it goes straight to "productive X"
3. Once per day, for ~15 m, I will visit "regular X". Then I will go through my notifs tab top to bottom and if there is anything interesting I will reply
4. I will lose some engagement benefits, and not always be able to comment on the newest/most interesting thing. That's fine, it's more of a marathon than a sprint
5. I see X as being the major global communications arena for tech (it is already where most productive LLM discussions are happening) so imo it makes sense to start something sustainable and enjoyable now, not in five years

That's i! I will treat this as a 30 day test and check back in on Aug 1. Hopefully I can contribute somewhat to the state of affairs & increase the average quality of discussion in agentic engineering

Should note I just did this, index will take a few days. But I've done it across like 10 brands now, super straightforward

[nicksaraev @nicksaraev]

Simple GTM strat, takes ~1min & makes you #1 search result for a modest SaaS

1. Get 50+ high-DR sites/directories (YouTube, Instagram, f6s, etc)
2. Give Claude Chrome MCP + email
3. Have it create profiles on all
4. You now own all 10 search rankings!

Took 3min for Clairvo

[nicksaraev @nicksaraev]

There is def a certain "preferred style" on different corners of X

Simple way to figure this out is: connect Claude to X MCP (or Grok), then mine 1k high-performing posts in your niche that score > 1k likes

Then just extract patterns. And..

Done! You are now a 1% poster

@Ai_here202 Thanks!

@MarkSuperDev @patrickc Nope, LLMs do the analysis. Python scripts just call the SNP dbs for matches.

The way you think about your business physically alters your brain.

This is not hyperbole: the various wrinkles and rivers of your cortex change in response to the growth and pruning of various neuronal axons and dendrites, which occurs naturally every time those neurons fire.

Example: when you think "my business is exciting, interesting, challenging, and rewarding", you strengthen the connections between positive concepts and the work that you do.

Unfortunately, when most people think about their career, they do so with negative connotations: “how many hours did I work today?” “what work did I get done?” "rise and grind", etc.

The very way these entrepreneurs think about their business applies a negative connotation to it. That negative connotation changes the physical structure of their brain, making similar connotations more likely in the future, which negatively impacts their willingness, interest, and passion for their business.

It is obvious to say, but: don’t do this. If there’s progress you want to make in life, you'd do well to think about said progress positively. At the very least, eliminate the term "work" from your vocabulary.

@patrickc I did this and found that I'm a carrier for cystic fibrosis.

Long-term implications for my lung health and general quality of life, plus any children I have.

Can confirm it was probably the single most valuable health intervention I've ever had. Life is much better now.

@BryanatLogic @patrickc My video was using Opus-4.5, so you can definitely apply a local model to it. Would use GLM 5.1.

[nicksaraev @nicksaraev]

Communities are the end-game evolution of information products.

Previously, if you wanted to learn something, you’d buy a course. If you wanted to build something, you’d buy a template. And if you wanted to network with people in a field, you’d buy access to an event.

Communities provide all three of those things simultaneously. They also significantly reduce the upfront friction by spreading the cost of joining from one-time -> many months, like a SaaS, typically with tiered access.

And to top it off, communities also use clear human incentives and gamification (your desire to be known, to be liked, to reach a “high level”) to drive you to succeed.

Which makes them more effective for both the community owner (because more people sign up) and more effective for the learner (because you're being driven to succeed in multiple ways).

There is no mechanism more powerful at producing consistent, stable behavior change.

@bryan_johnson Can't wait for this to be available in Canada.

If you are great at what you do and wish to improve your station in life, the straightest line path is to interact with the market as often and for as long as you can.

Why? Because the market is a big sieve. Spend more time in it and you'll naturally rise upwards to your level.

Many people ask why I spend so much time replying to YouTube comments.

My answer: replies are statues. There is a non-zero chance each will accumulate views for thousands of years.

Data takes a while to degrade, after all! I am optimizing for the far future.

[nicksaraev @nicksaraev]

This continues to scale.

@twfeerdeals Thank you for sharing @twfeerdeals.

The internationalization of X has driven ~20M views of this video in the last few days. Incredible to see what is essentially a global brain working in real time.

[Debinvest @debinvest]

Cara isso aqui é brutal demais, de verdade.

- Uso Claude há 1 mês
- Sinto que falta algo
- Todos parecem tirar mais proveito dele do que eu
- Me proponho a ver o guia de 4h.
- Primeiros 20 minutos
- Dou-me conta de que tenho usado de forma totalmente errada
- Avançando 4 horas
- Tudo muda
- há todo um sistema por trás disto?

Só eu não percebi?

@exploraX_ Thank you!

[nicksaraev @nicksaraev]

This was an interesting period in my content creation journey.

We experimented with a fundamentally new approach to both writing & editing, and (imo) it's some of my highest quality most info dense stuff.

At the time it performed abysmally. But cool it's gaining traction now.
