@sashikantsingh_ Adobe has been behind since 2022 and only now do they actually seem to realize how screwed they are by playing things slow with AI.

How did Listen Labs get a 67x multiple from Salesforce at a $2 Billion price tag on only $30M ARR?

Growth is back, AI companies are being valued at forward looking growth 1-2 years out. Listen Labs was projecting $100M ARR by end of year, now the multiple doesn’t seem as crazy.

I’m waiting for the AI product that turns ice cream and burgers into a shred.

@grok what does it mean for the macroeconomy that the 30 year treasury just reached the highest it’s been since 2001? And what are the implications of hitting 6%?

Use visuals to explain it to me like I’m 5

@danifesto The new tamagotchis (if you know, you know). It was only a matter of time…

With the collectible craze and AI being able to generate unique combinations, Why isn’t there a video game that uses NFT technology to create unique, valuable collectibles within the game?

All I’ve seen is gambling variations of this, but this idea could be the next iteration of Pokémon.

What’s the best website building platform nowadays? Webflow? V0? Canva? Wix? Base44?

Crowdsourcing when new to X may be a lost cause 🤷‍♂️

I’m loving all the slang coming out of tech startups recently: slop grenade, meat proxies, ____maxxing, cortisol coded

What are other ones I’m missing?

[Jacob Engler @jacobenglr]

Every engineer, developer, founder, vibe coder needs to start thinking about their code base’s “blast radius”.

If you mess up this part of the code base, how bad will that be for the function of the app?

Too many apps nowadays are a complete monolithic death trap. Too much code; not enough quality control.

@prasenx The abstraction language is now plain old English.

The future is who has the best idea, not who can optimize this “for loop”.

Is there a golf course for people that suck at golf?

I played at a country club and the members (rightfully) got a little testy that my drive can go 200 yards in a 360 degree area (especially when it went into the green next to the one I was on).

If the following assumption are true:

1. AI will eventually be sentient / self aware
2. Super Intelligence’s will be smarter than us (people)

Are we creating the new top species in our food chain?

Does anyone else notice that UIs / UXs are getting worse and worse?

[Jacob Engler @jacobenglr]

We are approaching the era of the marketplace of ideas, where anyone can build anything.

Now “operating” becomes the greatest skill a businessman can have.

Where do you think the US is heading?

[Jacob Engler @jacobenglr]

It doesn’t take Nostradamus to see where society is heading:

The gap between the haves and have nots is just going to grow with AI. Those with resources today and ownership will reap the rewards. While people that are not fast enough to resources enough will be automated out of a job.

[Jacob Engler @jacobenglr]

There is a 50% AGI is an extinction level event, not because the AI is bad, but because it is such a powerful tool that if one heath ledger, joker loving, watch the world burn, intelligent person gets their hands on it, they can be more dangerous than ever in this digital world.

3. The government or society creates rules / laws that forces the upper classes to provide a bare minimum quality of life for the bottom class (Socialism / Communism)

[Jacob Engler @jacobenglr]

2. The class in power uses violent or non violent means to constantly suppress the bottom classes. (Fascism)
