My top artists of 2022. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/PgzniGNk2B @JimGaffigan would probably be in my top 5 Netflix Wrapped too. 😂

Even the AI-generated Steve Jobs is inspiring. 😱 still can’t get over how real this sounds beyond the awkward pauses and verbal miscues. https://t.co/YptlA28JOw #ai #JoeRogan #SteveJobs #interview

@chrisnoessel Also the ALT text is scary accurate. Did you write it or is that also AI generated? 🤔

[Mat Budelman @designedbymat]

@chrisnoessel I must have missed the prior context. These are incredible.

[Mat Budelman @designedbymat]

@chrisnoessel Ok, the suspense is killing me. What are these from?

@zedek73 Oh, that’s because it’s personalized to the user. I guess I can only see my version.

I could start every single day with this #vibe: #Ecstatic #electrosoul Wednesday morning

A/B test everything, and you'll get stuck on the treadmill of local maxima.

A/B test nothing, and you'll leave lots of compounding growth on the table.

A/B test optimizations, not product concepts.

You're in a panic.

Your launch date is in a week. Your whole team's credibility is riding on your collective ability to make it happen. Leadership is Eye-of-Sauron-ing this project.

There's just one problem.

You suspect the product sucks.
