Sure why not

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

not convinced the new Opus is smarter enough to justify how much slower it is @AnthropicAI

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

didn't realize how much nicer it is to build on @telegram vs @whatsapp or even @twilio lately. hats off to them

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

successfully avoided Tiger King entirely. not a single episode, not a single clip. it went away. feels like the right playbook for this @Clavicular0 situation too.

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

thanks @AmericanExpress!

spent years accepting expensive rental car insurance at counter (or not at all). just learned amex lets you enroll in primary rental coverage for $20 flat per rental. enrolled in 2 minutes. should've done this ages ago

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

got hit with $150 in bogus fuel fees from @SixtUSA. disputed it, then had @openclaw watch my inbox daily and ping me on telegram with updates. Just took two days of background waiting, and openclaw sent me a telegram my dispute was settled and refund on its way.

Why do I pay for Claude when it randomly decides to stop working for me

Credit to doge, they finally found something stupid to eliminate

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: White House announces it has eliminated the Department of Government Efficiency, in apparent cost-saving measure.

My thanks to @AnthropicAI for having limits- might not have remembered to checkout @GeminiApp otherwise!

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

Can we crowdfund an intern to work on fixing this for Anthropic over a weekend?

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

when can i just sign in to every site using one option (google) and never think about this again

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

Continue to believe progress with AI has added a ton of value.

But also increasingly convinced we're going to see a correction

Asked GPT5 for a map of europe. I'm not so sure 'AGI is around the corner' folks

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

Finally blocked my linkedin Feed (and a few others) @NewsFeedErad well done, love the quotes too

Kudos to @NotionHQ for making a calendar app that's more pleasant to look at. This might convince me to actually use the rest of notion's products

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

@AskHub_Hertz Sure, just followed you - but just you know Hertz team, it was _Enterprise_ that was terrible. You guys really helped me out last minute!

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

@Enterprise I had the worst all time car renting experience this morning. The agent at your greenpoint location, 266 McGuinness Blvd, was extremely rude and CANCELED my reservation- she refused to rent the car to me.

I had to take an Uber to @Hertz instead

[Scott Nelson @RealScottNelson]

@Enterprise Just messaged you with info.

This was truly the worst customer experience with a car rental I've had.
