A few months ago, most of the training of LLMs used to come from Reddit.
Blaming AI is not the right thing to do.
Currently, Reddit has only reduced to unclaimed, unverified controversies.
The real problem lies there, not in the AI.
Reddit's earnings call has exposed the new reality for thousands of companies.
"AI mode does not drive traffic. Not for us and not to anybody as far as I know. It used to be a traffic driver. Now it's not." - Reddit CEO.
The reality is that AI is fundamentally changing the way that humans access the internet.
Just 24 hours prior to this statement, Google's stock erased -$480 billion on the same issue: AI is disrupting the traditional search model.
For decades, the internet operated on a simple model. Search engines directed users to websites, and those websites monetized the traffic.
AI is destroying this business model, and it's happening at an accelerating pace.
The traditional model of internet traffic is rapidly becoming outdated.
The internet has entered a new era.

One of the fastest ways you can grow on instgarm is to be fast...your speed...your videos may not be the perfect but if you make it reach to the audience fastest you will grow.
The simplest way to do it is to look for the updates in your industry on Twitter and make a video about it within 10 minutes.
Greatest comeback of non-tech folks
BREAKING: Peter Thiel on what still matters when AI makes knowledge nearly free.
Walter Isaacson asks what humans uniquely do in the AI era. Thiel pauses, then goes straight to relationships.
Networking. Persuasion. Taste. Storytelling. Curiosity. Grit. The work that happens between people.
My take: when answers are cheap, judgment and trust get expensive. The founders who win will not be the ones who prompt the most. They will be the ones other people still want in the room.

Being a great writer doesn't come from good writing.
It comes when you read a lot, and then you develop your taste.
Once you develop a taste, you should learn to articulate your thoughts.
In today's era, combining these two: Taste and Articulation are what makes you a great writer.
Okay... I succumb to @sideshift_app hype.
Setting up my first campaign.
What should I take take care of... give me tips!
4 weeks ago we launched the SuperProfile MCP. I didn't expect this 馃憞
馃搳 642,243 total API calls
馃敟 395,891 of them in just the last 7 days
馃懃 5,843 creators already using it
We went from ~2K calls a day in early October to 70K+ a day this week.
If you haven't heard of it, the MCP lets creators run their SuperProfile from Claude or ChatGPT.
Just tell your AI what you want, like "launch a webinar for Saturday" or "set up an auto-DM on my latest reel", and it does it.
The biggest lesson for me: creators don't want another dashboard. They want to describe what they need and have it done.
We're just getting started.
Check out MCP here:

Dessa just gave a little bit of satisfaction for the future of AI. It felt like a first step towards humanisation of AI.
Jack gave us a voice model trained only on real human conversations. No text, no books, no LLM underneath.
Most AIs read a mountain of text first, then convert your voice to text, think, and convert back to voice.
In this process, a lot is lost; human emotions are lost.
And we skip using AI because it doesn't feel natural at all.
But, Dessa learned the way kids do: by listening.
Audio goes in; audio comes out.
It can talk and listen at the same time, so it interrupts, laughs mid-sentence, and picks up on tone the way a human does.
One of the best places where I can see its immediate application is in AI customer care service.
Right now, it feels like I am talking to a robot to get my refunds back, and it doesn't understand at all.
There is no doubt about it that in a few years people will pay a premium for experiences that still feel human.
This is one of the first models pointed in that direction.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person鈥ull of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Function over form. Always.
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.
That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.
Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today鈥檚 security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.
We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:
路 Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
路 Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
路 Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
路 The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.
Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.
My biggest learning running a startup for the last 5 years....
EVERY roles is a Sales role.
Learn Sales and you'll have 3 levels deeper understanding of how things really work.
In 2018 I joined a strategy role at a financial company.
Company had a strange rule - everyone new in the team had to do 3 months of sales before they could do strategy.
I found it weird and a bit disrespectful at first that I had to go out in the field selling loans and other products.
In month 1, I made 0 sales and had 2 weak leads.
People far under qualified than me completely out performed me on the field.
Slowly learned the ropes by spending time with more seasoned sales team members.
By the end of 3 months, I ended up with a few closes and immense respect for field sales.
Also funny how many big bold ideas get thrown in the trash can once you鈥檝e spent real time with the customer actually selling stuff.
To this day no task feels small because of that one experience.
TIL - you can use apple mouse and you can still make it
Muse Spark Open -- weights releasing today -- runs great on new Mac Studios thanks to work with @johnternus and Apple.

your instagram posts now reach just 4.9% of your followers. down 14% in a year. (socialinsider)
10k followers = ~490 see the post.
and that's if your account stays up. search "instagram ban" and you'll find countless stories of people who lost their accounts, apparently for no reason.
there's even an online petition, signed by 65,000 people on change org, against wrongful bans by meta.
if your whole business is on a platform you don't own, you don't really own the business. you are renting it.
build an audience on social platforms.
build your business somewhere you own.
