Your X feed is NOT representative of the rest of the world.

MOST people are NOT using AI.

And for those who are, MOST are NOT building... anything.

You are EARLY.

@WarrenWhitlock Didn’t you write something first called “AdSense for Halfies”? I think my book came out the next week.

I've been on Twitter since the early days. Wrote a book about it in 2009 when I had about 5,000 followers.

Some of you have been here since then. Some of you found me last week.

How long have you been following me, and what do you remember from back then?

I'll reply to everyone.

@scheemunai Take a nap. The latest thing is always the topic of discussion.

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

Hey @grok, what are the demographics of people using AI for more than basic search and Q&A? Break down what you know by gender and age groups.

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

My first real stage was a room of 25 people. Five of them bought. That's 20%, and it turned a terrified speech major into a speaker. What's the smallest room you ever started in?

I would abandon my iPhone in heartbeat for a SpaceX device that works everywhere. Add privacy features and I won’t be able to throw my credit card at you fast enough.

How about you?

🚨 BREAKING: The FCC accepts SpaceX's application to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum

Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all told SpaceX "NO" when it asked to use their networks. SpaceX is building its own:

This deal with Grain Management secures 546 paired licenses covering ~100% of the U.S. population, on 800 MHz low band that penetrates straight through walls and already works with almost every smartphone.

Once it closes, SpaceX will hold up to 89 MHz of spectrum in every market it touches.

Elon Musk: "This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America."

ITS HAPPENING

I first went online in 1980 by pressing a phone handset into a 300-baud modem and dialing a bulletin board.

The AI tools I use every day give me that same feeling I had in front of that modem. What nostalgic feeling are you experiencing using AI?

I think it’s ironic that the founder everyone holds up as the ultimate lone genius wrote himself a note about needing everyone else.

Steve Jobs emailed this to himself a year before he died... a humbling reminder of how much we all depend on each other.

Holy cow!

I sent this prompt to Claude Fable 5.2 medium and the video was the first output it provided.

I could easily hand it images and screenshots to fill it in

“You have my life story. Can you animate my career?”

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

@JeffDurso That’s probably accurate

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

@aiclawdius Good memory

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

Remember the Million Dollar Homepage? I thought: why stop at pixels?

So I sold 500 words on one page, each word linking to the buyer's site. It sold out in about three days.

Remixing a proven idea beats waiting for an original one. What would you remix today?

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

@SherrieRose Still is!

In 2008 I released a fart app. 💨

It hit #1 on the App Store and stayed there for 23 days. 🔥

18 years later, iFart is #16 on the paid Entertainment chart. This was today. 😮

What's a silly idea you almost didn’t try? 🥸

@RylesMeta Emerald? Titanium?

Hey @grok how much were middle class boomers paying for houses when they were the age that millennials are today? Start with the median number.

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

@RylesMeta @grok Accurate. Our first house in Plano was about $60-$70k. Circa 1990 I believe.

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

@RylesMeta @grok Nah. You got this

[Joel Comm @joelcomm]

Hey @grok, how much money do you need saved to retire comfortably in the US today? Be honest.
