@michaelo Woah! Amazing man!

I'll be in China Oct 15-23 to check out the tech ecosystem. Would love to meet founders in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Shanghai while I'm there. Any meetups, events or people worth knowing about? Intros and tips super welcome. 🇨🇳🚀

I’m a big fan of Claude and Co-Work, but the prose still feels like a deluge of AI slop-even with careful prompts, settings, and markdown guidance. ChatGPT’s writing is simply better: nuanced, thoughtful, and human-sounding. For prose and product copy, Terra 5.6 is now my default

Tried https://t.co/R8QGmWlZdr for an explainer video. Got a structured script (problem, solution, proof, CTA) without writing it myself. AI video generator that thinks.

Want to try https://t.co/R8QGmWlZdr?

@Google @AWS @GoDaddy @donoleary @GoDaddy - you opened a case, closed it silently, and left active impersonation fraud running on your platform. I deserve at minimum an explanation. What was your reason for closing this? And what is my escalation path?

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

My old domain https://t.co/cDnUzmtfns was bought by someone now impersonating my startup to defraud @Google and @AWS of cloud credits. Reported it to @GoDaddy. Weeks later - nothing. Active fraud is happening on your platform. Do better. 😠 cc. @donoleary

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

@Google @AWS @GoDaddy @donoleary 4) To be clear about what "fraud" means here: someone bought my old domain, relaunched the site pretending to be the legitimate Openvolt business, and is using it to apply for cloud startup credits from @Google and @AWS — misrepresenting themselves as a real, funded startup.

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

@Google @AWS @GoDaddy @donoleary 3) They gave me a tracking ID and said it could take several days. Fair enough. Except they never emailed me back. I had to remember to go and check myself - and when I did, the case was closed. No explanation. No reason given. Just closed.

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

@Google @AWS @GoDaddy @donoleary On Mar 17 I submitted a formal complaint through @GoDaddy's own abuse form — https://t.co/cDnUzmtfns is being used to impersonate my startup and fraudulently apply for @Google and @AWS startup credits. I offered incorporation docs, DNS records, archived site history, identity etc

@devahaz @hkanji I’m trying to figure out what is the actual difference between what Delve do and what Vanta do? Vanta automate a bunch of stuff, provide templates of policies etc. Does anyone have an informed view on this?

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

Anyone have recommendations for the best tool for creating product launch videos. Thinking about something that you feed it a recording of the product being used and then you can overlay with great music, visual effects (zoom ins, smooth screen transitions, branding)?

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

@collision Loved the content. Nice wide range and clearly lots of thoughtful preparation. One thought to mix it up - find some non obvious traditional business CEOs (the rest of the S&P 500 that aren’t Mag 7) and dig into how their businesses could change with AI.

@noahkagan @noahkagan I live here. Would love to grab a coffee (or padel game!) if you have time. Exploring starting my next biz and would be great to pick your brains. Cheers!

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

@AppSumo @codyschneider Thank you so much @codyschneider for being so generous. Great content! Lots of ideas firing coming out of this.

[Dave Curran @dave_curran_]

@lovable really love your product. I feel so liberated creating ideas and experimenting with UX. Would happily pay more to be able to have my commands sped up (as in, less delay between the command and the implementation). Just in case you're exploring this. Cheers!

Turning 40 was nothing.

But 50 hits different.

You start to reflect on life. What really matters? How does it all add up?

Let me tell you what feels good… and also what doesn’t.

Fantastic episode of Invest Like The Best with @garrytan. Super humble guy and great insights. Love the ‘wrapping paper’ concept. Thanks @patrick_oshag for another great episode. I’m a huge fan! https://t.co/pwkwY7pWVZ
