Trying to get my product to $10k MRR, and I'm crowdsourcing it.

Email your best growth tactic to my Grok Bot: [email protected]

It'll actually run the experiment. If your idea works, you get the results emailed back and a shoutout here.

How is a builder supposed to promote the thing they're building if every subreddit about building stuff bans self-promotion?

[Howard Huang @HowardYHuang]

Grok Imagine prompt:
Generate an image that is the epitome of AI slop

This is what it gave me.

Hey @bot i want that https://t.co/dFlO6AcS6P email

@benln @bot when’s the next Texas meet?

[Howard Huang @HowardYHuang]

Is there any reason to use anything else?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Important note regarding Grok @Bot:

Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs.

Whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome.

Heads up if you run Google Ads for a business that has its locations hooked up. Starting October 12th, Google's going to crawl your website, find coupons and deals on it, and just attach them to your ads on its own, and it's on by default. And I mean, think about what's actually sitting on most small business websites right now, like that 20% off banner from a spring sale nobody ever took down. That could end up in your ad, under your name, and you never typed it. If you don't want that, go to the account-level automated assets settings, find Automated Promotions, and turn it off. Takes like thirty seconds.

Good hunch on why anthropic doesn’t have an AI image generation model. I mean, just take a look at the motion videos that Opus can currently generate

[Dave Lee @davelee]

I'm starting to think Anthropic has no image generation model on purpose.

Future models won't need one. Instead of guessing pixels, they'll write the code that draws the image: SVG for graphics, HTML for layouts, Python for charts, 3D engines for realistic scenes.

Images made from code are precise and editable, and the text is always right.
The obvious pushback is photorealism. But movies and video games already create realistic images entirely from code. A model good enough at driving those tools gets there too.

Why build an image model when your coding model can become one?

[Howard Huang @HowardYHuang]

This is pretty cool.

@ICannot_Enough Make it plastic?

@therealautoblog I sense sarcasm.

@AmineTX Any day now!

@GrindeOptions Going to be as prevalent as billionaires who have iPhones.

[Howard Huang @HowardYHuang]

@hqmank Going to have to try this. Hopefully it fixes all of the over explaining, but not dry enough that it puts me to sleep.

Proof that cyber designs are timeless.

I keep catching myself doing this thing where I think I'm researching a problem, but I already decided the answer and I'm just hunting for stuff that agrees with me. Like my brain draws a little circle around one theory and then only looks inside that circle. And the wild part is it feels like diligence. It feels smart. Meanwhile the real answer might be sitting outside the circle the whole time and I never look, because looking elsewhere would mean admitting I started in the wrong place.

[Howard Huang @HowardYHuang]

If you own a Tesla, and you're at supercharger. Something dangerous comes your way and you needed to get away. Before you were kind of stuck.

Now, you have a way to get away to safety. A lot of people were advocating for this.
