Governments don't create prosperity. They create (or destroy) the conditions for individuals to create prosperity.

here's the fastest way to get mentioned in LLMs... it's linkbuilding, might sound boring but here's what's actually happening behind the scenes: LLMs are trained on massive text datasets scraped from the internet... which means they "know" your brand based on what

i don't think anyone takes seriously how long and arduous the work of defusing productivity gains from language models across the real economy will be. it's not pure competition, legacy firms simply won't get outcompeted by llm-competitors. the real economy is the firmament

“Yet” might just be my favourite word. Here are 3 reasons why: (1) "Yet" reframes failure as progress When you add "yet" to a statement, you’re saying that your current state is temporary and that improvement is not only possible but inevitable with effort and time. (2)

people on whop are making $20,000+ weekly with whop apps whop owners keep asking me: "can you build me this tool?" "does this feature already exist?" "i need this for my clients ASAP" yet nobody has built their solutions... i gathered info on what owners are looking for

Two things are simultaneously super important 1. Develop AI skills (agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills) 2. Develop traditional SWE skills. 1/2

gosh, the purely linear, non-differential, non-branching, non-layered UI paradigms around LLMs is such a curse. it's like we've thrown out every piece of cognitive infrastructure we've built since the invention of two way oral communication
