Our launch today blows up the entire GTM stack.

And replaces it with one agent that takes accounts from cold to closed.

Comment “Mutiny” and I’ll triple your AI credits.

Aaron Levie says agent-driven micropayments could create an entirely new business model for the internet:

"We might have truly a completely different business model for the internet."

"Now actually it's probably is a good business model. Because let's say you had paywalled, really proprietary data... You could actually imagine like there's maybe like a hundred million agents that would be tapping into that data for various use cases."

"All of a sudden, a penny a transaction starts to make a lot more sense than it did when you were capped at... people that maybe was interested in your content previously."

"We probably have new business models for tools and APIs... We probably want an agent to be able to have a budget and make any API call it wants, and all of a sudden you have this new revenue stream, which is like these agents showing up, just transacting on your system."

"don't sit too close to the tv"
-now we strap screens to our faces (apple vision pro, meta quest, etc)

"don't talk to strangers"
-now we summon strangers on demand to do our bidding (uber, doordash, etc)

"think for yourself"
-now we blindly trust AI responses (chatgpt, deepseek, etc)

it's strange how things change

@sashdsgns So rad, Samuel!

Had an awesome time talking with @Sharne_Artist about my creative process, and I also had a chance to try out their iPad vector graphics software Linearity Curve, for a new illustration, which brought a fresh perspective to my workflow.

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

A coffee shop in Singapore invented the "Sweet Little Rain."
This coffee or tea is served with a puff of cotton candy.

The steam from the coffee rises to dissolve the cotton candy, and the puff begins to "rain" onto the coffee cup.

[NO CONTEXT HUMANS @HumansNoContext]

I always wondered what the rain had to say

[Forbes @Forbes]

Vladimir Danila developed the idea for Linearity's graphic design platform, formerly called Vectornator, when he was just 17. Now, it's worth millions and competes with industry unicorns.
