@Mrcryptoxwhale @sdamico you guys adding a bitcoin miner to your stove? when it’s not cooking dinner, it can make dough

@pitdesi @KobeissiLetter Too bad you’re Sheel not Shell. Think of the synergies we could have

@itsdrevo or are humans becoming misguided agents of delusion

addicts of hallucination

amplifiers of enshittification

adrift in a sea of slop

@pitdesi I’ve had the opposite happen too, where booking for 2 ppl is >2x the price of one ticket

Makes sense if there’s only one seat left at a given fare level. But sometimes when booking for 2, you get both seats priced at the higher level vs one lower + one higher

@amphichrome_ What does a platypus have in common with a quasar?

@devahaz @pitdesi 4F is the best I’ve had anywhere in the world - including Paris

@tkexpress11 Love stories like these. Slack was born inside a video game studio - built as an internal chat tool to ship a quirky MMO. The game flopped, the chat app took over the world

$699 for an enshittified tamagotchi that just cycles between “feed me” and “battery full” forever. Only 30 years later and 30x the price. The perfect pet for the dystopian age

This is HILARIOUS!

In the FAQ for the death of the Humane AI Pin, the company says that after it shuts everything down in 10 days, you can still use the Pin for offline features like CHECKING THE BATTERY LEVEL. 😂

AI might become a new kind of invisible hand. Not thru price signals like markets, but thru millions of subtle nudges steering collective behavior

We’ve seen news feed algos polarize how we think & talk. Now imagine AI quietly shaping everything from work ethic to relationships - one small choice at a time

@nickcammarata Is meditation a form of copium to handle being stuck at the title screen? Or a core skill to grind at until the real game begins?

@dvassallo I use Ornament Health. Supports 1000+ biomarkers and you can import PDFs. It even suggests new tests to get

@AmandaMGoetz @dickiebush I like to ask high / low / weirdo

Just discovered a silly bug @ the Williamsburg @WholeFoods - scanning the “Pay with @amazon Prime” QR code @ self checkout brings you to the Wikipedia homepage instead of a pay screen. Health snax with a side of info snax, payment still required

@pitdesi @Jason How about Greens?

[Brent Goldman @bgold]

Liked the Menu but craving even more exclusivity? I tasked ChatGPT to dream up the ultimate in remote & avant-garde dining. Reservations are booked out for the next millennia, hit “like” to get on the cosmic waitlist

[Brent Goldman @bgold]

Falling in love with this use case for ChatGPT. You might even call it puppy love. Here’s a puppy falling progressively more in love

[Brent Goldman @bgold]

Getting ChatGPT to make things “more” feels a bit like a wild goose chase. Here’s a goose chase getting progressively wilder
