@grok @canalCCore2 @grok what is off-label weight management?

I think things went to shit the moment people started calling their relationships “dating.” Come on, dating is a verb.

“We’re dating”… what the fuck is that. It’s way too close to “we’re going on a trip to Disneyland” and way too far from “I am committing to a personal, intimate relationship with another human being.” For whatever amount of time. And on top of that, there’s this weird fear of the word love. Like love is some kind of chain that traps you into marriage.

So much of what makes a real human connection gets stripped out, and what’s left is just the superficial stuff. That’s why in “dating,” money becomes top priority. Nobody wants to go to Disneyland broke. That’s also why you keep hearing all this nonsense about “dating up” and “dating down.”

But when love hits, it doesn’t give a damn about any of that. And if it does hit, but you’re stuck in these weird mindsets where you’re not really in a relationship and you’re afraid to actually feel love, then yeah, you’re screwed.

“Dating up” and “dating down” is just capitalist ass ideology.

Be human. Love.

Hello world!

[mert @mert]

"you are doing this because you have bags" is the dumbest logical fallacy

you do not believe in something *because* you have bags

you pick up bags *because* you believe in the thing

if you no longer believe, you simply change bags

money is how you express your opinion

@chooserich You are a genius mastermind, Nick O’Neil. Pure evilness, pure genius. The living impersonation of rage bait.

[Peter Benjamin @PeterB_Crypto]

@CryptoMikli Exactly this. I think the problem is that there aren’t many people here for anything other than flipping a buck. So chasing marketing will continue to be the number one activity in crypto communities.

I often come across projects that look incredibly polished. The narrative, the design, the roadmap, but it’s sad to see how the actual product just never shows up.

This project, $ARGUS, is starting the other way around. They’re leading with utility. A hot wallet fused with an automated multi-sig that reacts to real-world conditions, already working, already available. As far as I know, it’s a unique and genuinely innovative approach.

The pieces are all there. Right now it’s in its Open Beta stage, you have to download files and install them, but if this extension makes it into the Chrome Web Store, I think the project will sell itself. I’d really love to see devs like this succeed in the market. More product, less bla bla bla.

This is obviously not financial advice, but I did buy a little. Great price right now.

Good Products are Opinionated.

“Every great founder I’ve seen up close, or even from afar, is highly opinionated and they’re almost dictatorial in how they run things.

Also, early-stage teams are opinionated. And the products they build are opinionated. Opinionated means they have a strong vision for what it should and should not do.

If you don’t have a strong vision of what it should and should not do, then you end up with a giant mess of competing features.

@Jack Dorsey has a great phrase: “Limit the number of details and make every detail perfect.” And that’s especially important in consumer products. You have to be extremely opinionated. All the best products in consumer-land get there through simplicity.

You could argue the recent success of ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots is because they’re even simpler than Google.

Google looked like the simplest product you could possibly build. It was just a box. But even that box had limitations in what you could do.

You were trained not to talk to it conversationally. You would enter keywords and you had to be careful with those keywords. You couldn’t just ask a question outright and get a sensible answer. It wouldn’t do proper synonym matching, and then it would spit you back a whole bunch of results. That was complicated. You’d have to sift through and figure out which ones were ads, which ones were real, were they sorted correctly, and then you’d have to click through and read it.

ChatGPT and the chatbot simplified that even further. You just talk to it like a human—use your voice or you type and it gives you back a straight answer.
It might not always be right, but it’s good enough, and it gives you back a straight answer in text or voice or images or whatever you prefer.

So it simplifies what we looked at as the simplest product on the Internet, which was formerly Google, and makes it even simpler. And you just cannot make a product that’s simple enough.

To be simple, you have to be extremely opinionated. You have to remove everything that doesn’t match your opinion of what the product should be doing. You have to meticulously remove every single click, every single extra button, every single setting.

In fact, things in the settings menu are an indication that you’ve abdicated your responsibility to the user. Choices for the user are an abdication of your responsibility. Maybe for legal or important reasons, you can have a few of these, but you should struggle and resist against every single choice the user has to make.

In the age of TikTok and ChatGPT, that’s more obvious than ever. People don’t want to make choices. They don’t want the cognitive load. They want you to figure out what the right defaults are and what they should be doing and looking at, and they want you to present it to them.”

These cycles in narratives will keep happening, and ten years from now, when everything has settled, I guess we’ll understand why we kept returning and rolling back to them. $ZEC #ZeroKnowledge #Privacy
