@maria_rcks I don't even know what I would ask fable to do. Opus is so incredibly capable

[Spookat @spookatApp]

Also 2500$ bonus credit seems like a plan to lock in people untill shit blows over and everyone gets used to it.

Many who wanted to cancel will think twice untill they burn those free credits. (Unless they carry over to free/lower sub? Idk)

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Seriously OpenAI? After positioning yourselves against Anthropic - with all those resets and posts - as the alternative with better rates?

It’s a shame things have come to this. First, they essentially "halve" the sub plans (and yes, I know Sol 6.1 is an extremely efficient model, but I’d like to use Astra 6.1 and all future ones at my regular weekly rates), and now the Pro usage limits, too.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

okay, i'll give you one free tip.

You're not selling because you never talk to your customers.

you coded a SaaS, added a signup form or maybe even onboarding flow and went back to claude or "connecting" on X

you are not facebook. You need to guide and talk to your customers

[Spookat @spookatApp]

how are they useful

[Joe Kelly @jksoftware1]

@dummerspast39 Dots is very useful. Maybe if the EU did not have retarded ai regulations you could use it too.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

@dummerspast39 bit rude but yeah, that would win back lots of people

[Spookat @spookatApp]

@kimmonismus I don't have access but it seems very boring?

Idk I don't get the whole 24/7 agents thing.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

Costs of acquisitions are definitely up and as for churn my projects hasn't changed much over the year, even with multiple new competitors a month

The products that are made over the weekend are so undercooked that they don't build the trust at all.

They have no substance, no face behind it, feels anonymous.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

@ItsAileen_Wu That's the part most "founders" fail i think. They don't want to start calls with their customers.

They hope it will happen "because their product is great" and people would onboard themselves into it.

Idąc dalej: imo ostatecznie wszystko kryje się w tokenach na sekundę, jakie da się wycisnąć z jednego watta.

Każda generacja hardware'u i każda optymalizacja modelu podnosi wydaność inference.

Czyli z tego samego gigawata, za ten sam rachunek za prąd, sprzedadzą wielokrotnie więcej tokenów.

A popyt to wchłonie. Agent pali wielokrotnie więcej tokenów niż czat, a sprawniejszy model to nie tylko tańsza inteligencja, ale też odblokowanie rzeczy, których wcześniej nie dało się zrobić wcale albo były ekonomicznie nieuzasadnione.

@kurasinski Dziwi mnie obsesja na punkcie zysku wśród komentujących.

Na zysk przyjdzie czas, marże im będą rosnąć wraz z usprawnieniami coraz to kolejnych generacji hardware'u, technologi czy energetyki.

Nie będę zaskoczony jak przychody zaczną jeszcze bardziej przyspieszać.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

@paszed_ I'm obviously not talking about existing. I'm taking about putting in real meaningful effort.

I can see your point about the outcomes but at the same time I would not even consider persom that I don't think is capable of doing great things.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

@kpawinski Z ciekawością zaobserwuję

[Spookat @spookatApp]

@paszed_ Would you not feel exploited if you put in 80 hours a week and they invest 2-3 hours?

If they provide other valuable stuff then it's fine sure but if their main asset is "work" then I don't see it working out.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

Some people are made to be employees, even if they wish to be entrepreneurs.

[Spookat @spookatApp]

I've tried it multiple times even with people that I trust deeply but if they don't have the same audacity, insane drive, the hunger for success it just won't work.

It's hard to get the right co-founder.

They will tell you they want to work with you, they will try their best but they just can't keep up at the level that is needed.

Sharing the good insights

[Cristina A.C. @Cristina_AC_X]

One mistake I see people make when trying to build a consulting business online:

They optimize for followers instead of leads.

Social media is probably your main source of leads, so yes, you need a polished profile, good content, followers, likes, comments, engagement.

But somewhere along the way, analytics become the goal.

And then ego kicks in.

They don't follow people back because a high "following" count doesn't look premium.

Except a follow is often the first signal of intent you'll get.

Someone follows you. Comments on your posts. Engages with your ideas.

And you ignore them because you're protecting your follower/following ratio.

Then two weeks later you're begging the same audience to download a free PDF so you can capture their email and "build a list."

You already have a list. With zero friction.

When someone consistently engages with your content, follow them back. Show some interest in the people showing interest in you.

You're building a consulting business, not a fan club.

You'll know I've made it when I casually upgrade to the $500 Codex plan.

@fuzzzypan We all know the answer don't we

[Spookat @spookatApp]

You should treat your friends like you treat your customers.

They deserve the same effort and attention like regular customers so they should pay you the same.

Don't grow grudges or feeling of being exploited just because you try to be nice and give discount.

[Santosh @santoshstack]

What’s more awkward:

Selling to strangers

or

selling to people you already know?
