Someone at @adidas hit me up, my 3 year old is ready for your next campaign

I’m so excited for world models to advance so that me and my son can put on some VR headsets and explore any civilisation in human history as if we lived there together.

Men, losing your hair at this point is a CHOICE.

You've been ignoring it for months. I know it, you know it, the mirror knows it. You're noticing that hairline creeping back, you saw a photo of the back of your head on someone's IG story and gasped. But you're too busy with work to really think about it. You don't have the time to go see a dermatologist, and you're worried those online websites will just send you bottle without actually talking to you and coming up with the right recommendation.

You can change ALL of that right now, in 5 minutes. I want you to message me, tell me your situation, send me your photos, and I want to be your dermatologist over text. No phone calls, no booking appointments, just message me and I'll be your dermatologist. I'll discuss all the options with you, minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, red light helments, topical retinoids, microneedling, PRP - everything. I'll discuss the options with you and prescribe what we agree is best. I can even order labs to make sure we're not missing any underlying drivers.

And I can do it all for $30. Link below takes you straight to my FutureClinic page, my AI chief resident will ask you some follow-up questions to speed things up, and then 100% of all cases come directly to me, and I'll reply with an actual live recorded video so you know this isn't some big scam where it's an AI pretending to be me.

Side note: I make ZERO money or commissions from prescriptions or products I recommend. So I have no vested interest is upselling you random shit. You're paying for my unbiased medical advice.

So it's your move. You've literally got a dermatologist here right now asking you to text them to help you, it'll never get easier than this!

AI tools are so dangerous for micromanagers.

The practical range for “I’ll just do it myself” has expanded so dramatically that delegation to other humans almost always has more friction if you’re highly opinionated on execution.

Not sure if this is good or bad. Just true.

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

There's been a lot of 'false dawns' of technology claiming it'll disrupt healthcare. So it's understandable for the medical world to be skeptical.

But we should be EXCITED & skeptical. Not cynical. It's INCREDIBLE that the brightest minds from tech are focusing on healthcare.

Yeah, every individual episode of this happening is more horrible for that patient than it is for the doctor of course. But the majority of doctors are acting in good faith, genuinely trying their best while stretched thin. The moral weight of doing justice to our patients, and the threat of lawsuits if we fall short (or even if we don’t but a patient thinks we did) make it incredibly draining in the aggregate.

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

I don’t blame patients for this kind of mentality tbh. Imagine waiting ages for an appointment, paying huge amounts, and feeling like this is your ONE 10 min window to fight for a solution. Then a doctor seemingly dismisses it because 10 mins will never be enough to explain it in a human way that doesn’t feel like you’re belittling someone.

Broken systems break those who are part of them. And then these kinds of interactions further erode trust, increasing cynicism on both sides who feel like they’re being hard done by.

Patients are correct - this is horrible. Doctors are correct - this is horrible.

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

There is a massive loophole in the medical system, and it is a patient's absolute best friend. It is the patient portal. When a doctor dismisses your symptoms or refuses a test, you do not have to argue or cry in the exam room. The exam room is designed to put them in a position of power. Instead, you accept it calmly, go home, and use this exact strategy to shift the legal liability right back onto them.

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

The best argument for how big a step up Fable was from 4.8 is taking it away after a few days. It's rare to 'lose' access like this, so the slope of improvement can be hard to distinguish.

When you're forced back, the "isn't 4.8 just enough at this point?" thought disappears.

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

My latest PR after Fable cut out midway.

My wife (non-technical) built a fully functional iOS/Android app in 6 weeks... and it's made $1.5k on the app store since launch in the first month!

She's a stay at home mom with our 2 young children (3 and 1), and she wanted a way to write letters to our children to keep memories of their childhood (we kept using notes app and was all a mess).

Thank you @amasad and @Replit for making this possible!

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@itslilyszabo would love your feedback once you do!

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@ToriHar45141631 Agreed! Coming soon. Honestly don’t think she expected a bunch of people to start using it this quickly.

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@amasad Seeing her build this while dictating into her phone has been a pretty stunning experience. Kept expecting her to “hit the wall” with vibe coding, but it kinda never came

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@RagnarDrees Of course. Doesn’t everyone have one of each?

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@elenascross Ahh got it! Pretty sure she’s just using normal Apple subscriptions managed through revenue cat because she applied for the small business program that gets her to 15% rather than 30%. Don’t think she’s bold enough to circumvent unless Replit recommended it 😂

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@elenascross haha I definitely gave her feedback as well, I’m a founder of a tech company and I live with her so would be pretty weird for me to not… but I’m not smart enough to know about revenue cat reducing app sales commission (how does it do that?) so can’t claim that one

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@MakerThrive I think she did this in a separate pass after exporting from replit with Codex!

[Usama Syed, MD @usamasyed]

@josealb Yeahh there’s an export function she’s working on that was going to be a download but GDrive makes more sense. Will pass on the feedback! She’s also working on a “print a book” export but that’s going to take longer I think
