Maybe a better framing is “business owners are comfortable and accustomed to having conflicts in professional environments” An employee doesn’t show up for work a few days in a row, you have to fire them the next day. Every day they’re push

How is that possible? I wouldn’t have been able to function without it in school (20 years ago). But we also didn’t have iPhones.

Product placement in TV shows / movies is a $30 billion industry. They're opaque, and not regulated out of existence. They're so opaque that I'd wager 50%+ of people aren't aware it's happening. (Not fact check

The mistake the article makes is providing a photo with zero context. That's why it's mistaking a cheese sandwich for creme brulee. You'll get much more consistent responses if you share a text description along with a pictur

My understanding is basically that OPEC is similar to a workers union. Countries band together and set terms that dictate the price and the supply available in the market. UAE leaving OPEC is like breaking up a workers union. UAE is no long

Rockets, satellites, social media, AI - the only thing missing from the SpaceX hype portfolio is a certain coworking company. That would really set them up for an exciting IPO.

Is StackAdapt confirmed to be partnered with ChatGPT? It's not crazy to think someone might pitch this to buyers without having the inventory 100% secured. (Not crazy to think OpenAI wants to do some market testing to understand how mu

Their point still stands. Not all companies do illegal things. IMO it’s also a distraction to blame it on “capitalism” or some “larger trend” rather than just pointing directly at the company and people responsible. “The system is broken” l

If you’re targeting a million people, I wouldn’t consider that a hyper targeted attack. But I get your point.

I feel like humans would be better at hyper targeting. AI agents have the benefit of working at scale, probably "better" used for mass targeting.

That’s why it’s a game. If I run out of interesting conversation starters, I default to weather/work/family and carry on. I simply prefer to start with unique/contextual topics first.

I follow an informal rule of "never be the first person in a conversation to bring up work/career" (or weather, or family/kids). If you play the rule like a game, it's kind of fun. After starting with a personal tra
