one thing i learned as an ex-neuroscientist > the brain is use it or lose it Paul Graham thinks not reading or writing will become as normal as smoking once was I think he's right and it scares me a bit when did you last write something without AI?
We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.

Interesting how best ideas, new clients, and unexpected opportunities show up when I’m away from my desk. Maybe the most productive thing one can do sometimes is to stop working.

We added a new Discover endpoint to @socialcrawldev. One use case: finding creators for a demo across TikTok, YouTube and Instagram 🔎 The workflow: > describe the creators you’re looking for > add relevant search keywords > choose your market and follower range > review the creators and the content that matched your brief If location matters, review the country evidence too. Start automating social media research with @socialcrawldev

watching someone trying to explain an AI answer they clearly haven’t read is hilariously absurd

I overhear people talking about AI everywhere. AI isn’t a “tech conversation” anymore. It’s become a part of everyday conversation now.

give a f*ck about people. remember what they told you, ask how it went, help when there’s nothing in it for you.
