Barbell strategy for killing it in an age of superhuman AI:

Simultaneously get as close to AND stay as far away from AI as humanly possible.

1. Get close — play with AI models, use them to help you think, ask them to teach you about the world, get them to help you create, work with them to write code, understand what makes them tick, embed them into your everyday life, have fun.

2. Stay far away — learn to tell stories, make eye contact, build a team, lead with courage, connect far-flung ideas, build lifelong friendships, debate persuasively, think forbidden thoughts, handwrite ideas, confess your fears, fall in love.

Spend less time trying to master mental transformations that are purely mechanical — building spreadsheets, analyzing trades, balancing accounts, writing code by hand, following playbooks, searching for needles in haystacks. These are the emerging no-man's land, squarely the domain of AI.

Venture to the extremes. That’s where all the fun is anyway.

@dougboneparth Crack or heroine should do the trick, if on a budget loads of cheap weed will work. Want to guarantee success do all three.

A Houston institution that shaped music, surf and skate culture is preparing to close its doors. For many, it’s more than a store — it’s a piece of their story.

BREAKING 🚨: This is extremely illegal. This is Matthew Gallagher, who created 800+ Facebook accounts posing as fake doctors to advertise on Facebook, and went on to build a GLP-1 telehealth company with just $20,000, AI, and only one full-time teammate, his brother. The New York Times fabricated their AI startup story.

It generated 401M USD in 2025 and could reach 1.8B USD in 2026. Medvi received FDA Warning Letter #721455 in February 2026 for misbranding violations. Its clinician network, OpenLoop, suffered a data breach in January 2026 that exposed 1.6 million patient records.

Futurism reported that they used AI-generated deepfake before-and-after photos in their marketing. A class action lawsuit was filed in Delaware in November 2025. They are also running 800+ fake doctor accounts on Facebook to sell compounded GLP-1s.

[Matthew Houston @SkywardFin]

The cost to file a frivolous lawsuit just went way down, and now the bots can fight it out over tokens.

University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on backup center Kalifa Sakho getting five offensive rebounds against A&M after Ramadan: "That 30 days, he lost 14 pounds. I respect all our kids' religions, who they are, what they are, how they live their lives. I have great respect for every human being. Whether they're on my team or not, I respect people.

"So with his Ramadan, he was on a set schedule. What time he had to get up in the morning to eat. And when he could have his last meal at night. So he did that for 30 days and you could tell he was losing a lot of weight. But his last day was Thursday so it's no coincidence that he had his best game on Saturday. My God, the boy ate like it was last meal for two days. I said, 'You don't need to gain all that weight back in two days. Just slow down there, Hoss...

"Kalifa's a smart kid. He's got really good basketball IQ... Kalifa's been a huge, huge part of a lot of our big wins this year."

Imagine only eating Costco hotdogs for every meal over that time frame, your food costs have been flat for 41 years and had you put that savings into their stock you would be a multimillionaire

[Stocktwits @Stocktwits]

Imagine buying a Costco hot dog in 1985 and holding for 41 years just to break even.
