is Netflix running a UGC campaign for this new show? great format to funnel viewers to a series/movie, it went viral with the Disney+ show Bluey and looks like Netflix took notes

ive experienced the opposite
1 organic view on Meta is worth 3 views on TikTok IMO Meta users are older, higher intent, and are simply more likely to pay

Tiktok dopamine algo is gone. Videos just don’t rip as immediately as they use to. Used to be: Post->if you don’t get x amount of views in the first few hours->vid is cooked Now, I’ve consistently been seeing videos do nothing and then explode on the second day and even a few days to a week+ after being posted.

1.5 yrs ago, a VC offered $3M to drop consumer apps and switch to anything b2b because “conSUmeR is HArD” but we said no since then: - product 1 hit 1M+ users and profitable in 9 months - product 2 hit 1M+ users and profitable in 9 weeks - this week reminded us that we made the right call and we are literally unstoppable we’re profitable we’re growing exponentially we’re coming after every market and we’re hiring! more than halfway through to $20M ARR by eoy ;) looking for product engineers, ai engineers, and designers apply on our website, or email talent [at] oleve [dot] co

Come hear me yap at the @aiDotEngineer World’s Fair (June 3–5, 📍SF) giving 2 talks: #1 June 4, 11:35 AM: “The New Lean Startup”. sharing our playbook on how we skyrocketed Oleve from $1M to $6M ARR and top in the charts with just 4 people, our two-track eng system, philosophy for scaling agents, and scrappy infra hacks that drive our lean growth #TinyTeams #2 June 5, 2:20 PM: “Testing the Un-Testable: Monitoring AI Products in the Wild”. w/ @benhylak from (@raindrop_ai) where I’ll share TRELLIS, my framework for scaling reliable consumer AI UX powering 5M+ users, designed around our virality engine, 500M+ views on socials. We’ll share how good UX isn’t a vibe, it’s engineered #AIArchitects come thru to spot the differences between me and this cursed ai-generated version

In the last 2 years I’ve scaled viral agentic AI experiences to 5m+ users globally, $6M ARR this is my playbook for designing reliable AI experiences around virality, so UX doesn’t suck, designed around our viral growth engine: 500m+ views across socials TRELLIS: Targeted Refinement of Emergent LLM Intelligence through Structured segmentation it is the framework I use to design, orchestrate, and iterate on retentive consumer AI experiences philosophy: > magic must be engineered, repeatable, testable, and attributable, not accidental > systems must be improvable through isolated, blameable workflows > in a world of shitty AI products, you must win both the ‘novelty tests’ and the retentive flows principles: > discretization - translate an infinite output space into distinct, mutually exclusive buckets > prioritization - score and rank buckets using impact-driven metrics > recursive refinement - continuously repeat the process within prioritized buckets > constrained expressiveness - create semi-deterministic workflows, broad enough to be useful and narrow enough to be reliable 6-step framework for success: 1. launch open-ended mvp agent experience guided by initial priors 2. look at your data and cluster it into interactions by user intents 3. turn these intents into semi-deterministic workflows 4. use a well-defined scoring system to prioritize workflows that actually move the bottom line. I recommend: volume x negative sentiment x achievable delta x strategic relevance 5. analyze the high-priority workflows for sub-intents and failure patterns 6. recursively apply the TRELLIS method within priority sub-workflows presenting TRELLIS on Wednesday 28th as part of @jxnlco 's course I'll cover how we're using @raindrop_ai to power this framework with @benhylak read more about the framework on the oleve website

i might just be a dumb marketing guy who can get anything done from my phone if I’m out somewhere but who tf actually does this?? if I saw @SidBendre or @Abhigyawangoo doing this at a party I would have to stop being friends with you
people who “work” at parties aren’t really working right every time I see some guy with a terminal open at a bar or house party I just assume he’s pretty inefficient

crackheads are just the other side of the spectrum when it comes to founder greatness. both are extreme with an insatiable hunger for the next high just focused differently. that’s why SF and NYC have so many. in a city you have the Sam Altmans and JP Morgan’s and then the versions of them if they were addicted to crack. the two extremes collide in a sad but poetic way. when have you seen a crackhead with no crack? they will do wtv is needed to get it. be the crackhead.

went climbing a few weeks ago, captured the views—a little lightheaded at that altitude; scenery was worth it
