Direct-response writing for an audience that discounts claims automatically: the mechanism in one line, then the proof, then the objection answered before it is raised.

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

Quinolinic acid - a neurotoxic agent implicated in depression - is formed from kynurenine, but exercise, particularly intense aerobic exercise, prevents this from happening. Likely one of many mechanisms explaining why exercise helps with depression. t.co

A new study found that supplemental omega-3 EPA or DHA improved depressive symptoms between 64% - 71% in people with major depressive disorder. The mechanism by which omega-3 improves depressive symptoms could be by lowering inflammation in the brain. t.co

That tends to happen when you compare a consoles launch month to sales one year later. Just to put this into perspective, the Switch 2 sold 3.82m this quarter (Apr-Jun) which is more than the PS4 or PS5 sold during the same quarter at any point in their lifetimes.

This actually reproduces as of today. In 5 out of 8 generations, DeepSeekV3 claims to be ChatGPT (v4), while claiming to be DeepSeekV3 only 3 times. Gives you a rough idea of some of their training data distribution.

It is odd when folks get mad when I say AI is already useful. We are only 18 months into LLMs & there have already been many controlled trials finding LLMs are useful, firms have public case studies with real metrics, etc Lots of reasons to critique AI, “uselessness” isn’t one.

LLMs have quickly become a consumer surplus. What does this mean? Tons of investment + scorched earth economics = consumers win no matter which company ultimately wins. It’s amazing to see how fast this has happened in a market this important.

Been playing with the new Operator for a little bit before launch and it is both very much still an experiment and also a good indicator of where things are going. It goes on the web and does things for you. Still many rough edges but here is an example of using it for shopping.

Hank Green only mentioned using Chat GPT because someone was accusing him of using an AI script and there’s one thing that’s being overlooked in this scandal that’s bugging me: Hank doesn’t sound like AI, AI sounds like Hank. That dude’s been uploading videos for 20 years 1/2

Steam Machine is actually a genius product for people who love console gaming but don’t want a custom PC And there’s so many old games that aren’t on console in any way but can be experienced on Steam so you can just buy one of these and play them easily now This gonna do crazy

I can finally talk about 5.6. I’ve been testing it for months and, without exaggeration, it’s the best model I’ve ever used. Fast, smart, genuinely creative, and you guessed it, they finally fixed front-end design. I haven’t needed to check the code I’ve written in two months.

I do want to point out that Hi-Fi Rush isn't a 'small game'. It took over 4 years to develop. No defense of how Xbox leadership has been running the show, but Matt Booty isn't wrong. He's referring to smaller games that don't take an entire generation to build.

the codex app is really good, try it out. i've been a die-hard terminal / emacs user for many years, but since using the codex app, going back to the terminal has felt like going back in time. feels like an agent-native interface for building.

it is available to all ChatGPT users, including on the free plan! so far, GPT-4 class models have only been available to people who pay a monthly subscription. this is important to our mission; we want to put great AI tools in the hands of everyone.

GPT-5.1 is a great new model that we think people are going to like more than 5. But with 800M+ people using ChatGPT, one default personality won’t work for everyone. We launched new preset personalities so people can make ChatGPT their own. t.co

As $GOOGL brings ads to Gemini in 2026, many of their competitors will have trouble, as this probably means that $GOOGL is going to open more and more of Gemini for free. People say they don't want ads, but the vast majority prefer ads to paying $20, that is just the way it is.

Whenever you think a market is "crowded" or "there's too many competitors", remember that a YC startup (Giga) beat Sierra in a direct bakeoff to get Doordash as a customer. Its never too late. Never listen to the haters. Just build.

The premise here is false because OpenAI has protections to shield consumers from unauthorized secondary sales, as outlined on our website. Btw, Next Round Capital (the source) has previously been served with a cease-and-desist letter by our legal team. t.co

Actually if you want to know what Apple’s enterprise pitch is going forward likely is… Nobody can promise updates as quickly with support on all deployed devices like Apple can. Nobody. Silicon to software, they can be the most secure and react fastest.

This is a big deal. I’ve been excited about zk’s potential to eliminate trade-offs for a while and Bryan and the LayerZero team have come up with what looks like the best implementation of that promise. Not an investor (sadly), just an impressed fan.

Do your research. (Or ask your AI to do it.) The CFPB has returned almost $20 billion to consumers from wrongdoing banks and financial corporations. CFPB is a model of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

All of this is a precursor to ads. The challenge of commerce is not, “how can I source product information into a feed?” It is: “How can I choose which among many competing products to source into a feed?” The mechanism that facilitates that is an auction.
