@artfreebrey Authenticity wins. Misleading footer text is inauthentic. A simple principle for choosing sales copy: "Is this authentic?". Works for me. I've worked on thousands of cold campaigns over the years. Each to their own.

This week I learned: in outbound analysis, your AI BI agent needs your bias. Turns out analytics is downstream of ontology. LI post: https://t.co/F4n5ijbP3O #Deliverability

“She started by laying out an array of pornographic images across his desk.”
Inspiring leadership: a woman tackling a dodged and buried issue with practicality. Solving for, not moralizing. Production of and mass exposure to degrading #porn causes harm. https://t.co/DGSVCmTSWf

Yes! Enable Dumbphone mode via a hardware switch: kill distractions and dopamine farming in an instant. That huge innovation plus the revolutionary supply chain they've developed over years. Amazing brand and product that's leading by example.

A new smartphone blends repairable hardware, privacy-focused software, and sustainable production. Can it create an ethical rival to iPhone and Android devices? https://t.co/ypQtG3QxkE

@Fairphone But you're still not on @bluesky ? 🤔😵

Two of the most reliable forecasters of past financial crises now put the odds of a 2008-level collapse in the US and other G7 countries at 65% within 5 years. Not a fringe take. Worth hedging against? https://t.co/0XhyL1m076

Latest #ChatGPT update on Android removes speech timer, making #VoiceToText even worse. This keyboard app with 1k users and no reviews is an ideal fix. Faster than #Whisper. No time limit. Works in any app. Uses #Grok API. $3 lifetime & #OpenSource

Sad: Android has a *hardcoded* 256KB clipboard limit while iPhones are constrained only by memory. $1k+ Android phones with 12GB RAM can't copy/paste long articles, but years old iPhones can copy megabytes. 90s Throwback. Open ecosystem, you say? #Android #iPhone #FreeYourAndroid

There’s something out there, and it ain’t just hyphens. Love the smell of dead extraneous punctuation in the morning. #gpt I'm watching you

Shared a new AI prompt with the Lightmeter team: Immunity to Change Mapping. Helps surface why you’re stuck. I used it to unpack why I sometimes pick slower paths even when faster ones are clear. It came down to fear and identity. https://t.co/WyPu9WX9py

TIL: mirror life, made from right handed proteins and left handed sugars could coexist on earth as an alien ecosystem. Touchable but biologically invisible. In Thalidomide: one mirror version of the drug healed; the other harmed. Pasteur discovered via light bending left vs right

Convenient, well designed tool for surfacing your personal #values in 20 minutes. I recommend setting a timer. Focus on what you /choose/, for yourself and for others. Not what life has chosen for you: https://t.co/DjWhiVMPs0 #coaching

This way my album of the year. Just noticed it was for Pitchfork too https://t.co/4Yf3yLpmYt

This album is incredible, and not on streaming services. If you like Beach house, Warpaint, Broadcast, or Ariel Pink, check it out. Artist: Cindy Lee. Album: Diamond Jubilee. https://t.co/nh571QhDm9.
Also on Bandcamp.

@pjotrek_b Love it. Trademark it!

As the adoption of GenAI increases and models get smarter, the value of human intelligence is decreasing daily. All my async negotiations are now probably empowered by #GPT or #Claude on both sides. Whoever brings more human smarts, has a devalued advantage Vs themselves in 2020

@OpenAI All those m-dashes—looks like this announcement got some help from ChatGPT 😁
