Let's build.

Let's be earnest.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

I don't know who made this, but I am very grateful that they did.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Is this idea perfect? No of course not.

But take action! If you don't like something, do something about it instead of waiting on someone else (while complaining loudly that no one is doing anything).

Don't clutch your pearls. Clench your fist.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Perhaps we are entering the "counter" age.

Instead of trying to regulate/legislate things out, instead we develop countering technologies.

Instead of regulating Flock and other surveillance technologies, develop counter-surveillance tech and databases to track locations.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Instead of enforcing rules about what can and can't be on a website, develop a plugin to mute/censor the words.

Hate AI? Use it create tools to prevent its use in areas you want it out of.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Free bot idea: One that will check if a person has ever done anything related to what they are commenting on.

Yes? Awesome. They might be saying something useful.

No? Block/mute/flag

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

You can just mute people

This explains so much! I noticed 5.5 seemed to burn tokens faster anyway, and I wondered why my small project got the limit after only 30 mins

[BridgeMind @bridgemindai]

Codex limits are NERFED.

With my $200 ChatGPT Pro plan I used to never worry about my limits using Codex.

I've been using GPT 5.5 the past 2 days and am already 45% through my weekly limit.

This is a completely different Codex then what we had last week.

Who else is noticing this?

Time to get yourself focused? Projects coming up? Remember:

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

I've thing I keep thinking about: these folks like TR are getting big things done in a time where communication was slow/limited. And it seems like these things tended to happen quickly.

And here we live in a time of high bandwidth instant communication, yet we can't make things happen with any urgency.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Watching the Theodore Roosevelt documentary on Netflix. They are ripping through his life up to 1890, I keep feeling like they're leaving out a lot.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

The whole thread is awesome, but this one in particular...

So many people don't seem to realize they can choose who is in and out of their circle!

If you are doing something positive for your life, don't let other's negativity or lack of support stop you!

Find the people who will celebrate and encourage your growth.

Step 1. Choose Your Circle Wisely

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Yeah, I appreciate that he's being up front. From some stuff I've seen (e.g. that security leak a few weeks ago) I think they are doing a lot with AI, and I think his take is interesting and probably not wrong.

But I'm thinking about all those other companies out there that say "Oh we use AI" and they have 1 Claude account for the entire company and won't let their employees use it. When those companies do a layoff/downsize and blame AI, that's what makes me mad.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Just my 2 cents but one of the worst parts about the Meta AI layoffs is all the businesses out there that are going to try and copy Meta and do layoffs for the same reason.

Or are going to use AI as the reason to do a layoff. Either way its bad.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

On one had you've got people copying a bigger company ("If they do it, so should we!") which is just a terrible plan.

On the other hand, you've got people scapegoating something instead of taking responsibility for a bad descision.

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Yes!

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

I believe in criticizing by creating.

Anyone can point out what's wrong; that takes zero courage.

Building something that actually works - a factory, a product, a company that employs your people - that takes everything.

Entrepreneurship is agency in its purest form.

You stop asking for help and start making it happen yourself.

@lkr Outside is Atlanta Georgia, the school district here does Chromebooks starting in 6th grade.

@DavidAkinyele4 @Thebiglade Hey, I made a remote job board service, maybe it can help? https://t.co/qSxdwnIDrS

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

@stepha_nieeeeee @JobFound5 I made a #remote #job board that aggregates a bunch of remote friendly job boards together: https://t.co/Q513cUtsLw

It's kinda tech focused, is that something you might be interested in?

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

Still going! Several hundred people have signed up and everyday emails are going out with fresh jobs! 👀

[Nick Loadholtes @nloadholtes]

If anyone is looking for remote dev jobs, I've made an aggregator that makes finding that perfect job easier: https://t.co/Wwe0A3nkIR #remote #Job #digitalnomads

(Its still a work in progress, I'd love any feedback!)
