@sama plz make a Chrome extension with the ability to select text in any tool (e.g., Slack, Google Docs, etc) and bring up a module to quickly use Chat.
annoying to have to constantly switch tabs or open the sidebar view.

Brands currently pay celebrities like LeBron James, Serena Williams, The Rock, etc., to fly out, sit on set all day, and shoot commercials.
This not only wastes the celebrities’ time, it also costs brands a ton (ie travel, production, logistics)
But what if celebrities could simply license synthetic/ AI versions of themselves to brands?
After approval, brands could legally use an AI version of the celebrity in commercials or cameos without requiring them to travel or film anything in person.
If I were Cameo and Steven Galanis, I’d probably use our existing marketplace and relationships to get into this space…
One click for brands, effortless revenue for celebs. (Their talent managers could even hit “accept,” so the celeb might not even notice LOL)
I guess the key risk here is: how long you’d have to wait until the models are consistently good enough to make this work ?
life hack: replace “should” with “let’s”
Bad: "We should try this product."
Good: "Let's try this product right now."
Bad: "You should email them."
Good: "Let's send that email now."
Bad: "We should all go to Japan."
Good: "Let's book a trip to Japan tonight."
Just had coffee with a founder friend.
"Yeah we spend $50k monthly on ads"
"How's it working?"
"Pretty good - about 100 demos booked last month"
Then he showed me something that I honestly didn't know was possible in the B2B world...
One of his power users posted about their product on X.
Just a simple thread about how it cut their workflow in half. He also included a link to book a demo at the end.
That tweet brought in 600 demo requests.
In. Two. Days.
Let that sink in:
One happy customer > $50,000 in ads
This changes everything.
Your best salespeople aren't your salespeople.
They're your happy customers because:
• Advocates convert 2-3x better than sales reps
• 83% of people trust friend recommendations
• Half of all purchases come from word-of-mouth
And they pay YOU to do it.
Think about it - your customers are basically a sales team that gives YOU commission.
Focus here:
1. make your product so good it's worth talking about.
2. build a customer advocacy program to make sure turning happy customers into evangelists doesn't just happen by chance
3. reward your superfans for spreading the word in ways that matter to them (not just free swag) & get out of their way
That's leverage.
