I just stopped wearing a collared shirt last year, after nine straight years of it (and many more, pre-crypto). Now I have to button up again?? Life is unfair.

[a16z crypto @a16zcrypto]

Is crypto entering its collared shirt era? @guywuolletjr says yes.

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

Is it just me or is ChatGPT getting less... good? I requested a vanity logo for my name, with parameters.

Here's how it spelled CORY A ROSS (all caps re prompt):

- CORYO A ROSS
- CORY O ROSS ROSS
- COROY A ROSS
- COORY A ROSS
- COORY A ROSS (but with the letters spaced out)

@BBGreatMoments Matt Stairs! Come on, people.

(i have the same sticker on a water bottle...)

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

my mother-in-law is visiting and is watching one tree hill. chad michael murray is towing a car in a field next to a tree or a hill or something and this mysterious girl is there and she’s wearing a ramones tshirt and he glances at her books and goes “that’s me inside your head” and she said “what?” and he goes “it’s a song. nofx. like your sticker.” and she says “yeah i know the song” and turns away and makes a phone call.

SHE’S SO PUNK ROCK BUT SO IS HE!!!!

also she's wearing a smart jacket but it's made of leather so you know she's up to no good despite all those non-load-bearing buttons.

I think I'll continue paying for both ChatGPT and Claude. Might even upgrade Claude from Pro to Max (someday, not today).

My last Q got such a detailed response from Claude (especially in comparison to asking ChatGPT the same question) that it was almost too much info. I had to scale back the request.

I like pitting them against each other for the best response. Like putting a humidifier and dehumidifer in the same room and letting them fight it out.

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

Deciding which AI to pay for is, I'm finding, like choosing which streaming service to keep

In my analogy @ChatGPTapp = @netflix. We have history.

Still working on a @claudeai comp but I'm leaning @HBO. Something about higher quality...

This analogy is a WIP. Will report back.

Worth $4B in 2021, loses 99% of its top value, sells for pennies on the dollar in 2026… I work in this industry and even I didn’t know Allbirds was an NFT.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: Footwear brand Allbirds, once valued at over $4 billion, has been sold for $39 million.

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@hosseeb the coaches believe in the players, the latter just needs to keep shooting.

or something like that.

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@ashnichrist Not with that attitude

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@mashdotfun 👀

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@ashnichrist @ChatGPTapp @netflix @claudeai @HBO @perplexity_ai Yikes on bikes. I'm only in Month 1 of paying, but it was ~$32CAD. Not ideal, but also not $100USD. They must know you're a tier 1 content creator!

I'm leaning into this split as well. I have a @perplexity_ai sub that I get free from my cell provider. Not sure I'll re-up since it uses lesser models of the other two (+ others I haven't explored). I like their news feature, though. Almost worth it for the personalized newsfeed.

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@hackapreneur Def leaning more Claude these days

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@OGDfarmer Let's both say the coins at the same time, count of three...

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@brycent Pro ➡️ Max?

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@lezbrahh More like the whole album. Among the first punk albums to fully convert me as a young teen!

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@TheCinesthetic Where's the love for Jonny Greenwood and The Daniels (Blumberg and Lopatin)? Ludwig Göransson's at the top of his game, though.

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

So much of my life is currently soundtracked by Patrick Stump, who does the theme songs for both "Hot Wheels" AND "Spidey and His Amazing Friends." Not to mention several others.

Once again, Big Fallout Boy stays rich by getting to us through our toddlers.

Dance Dance.

[Cory A. Ross @coryaross]

@ashnichrist They've gotten to you...
