You cannot have a marketing strategy or a financing strategy that is disconnected from the reality of the people and companies that buy your products. And you can certainly not build products that are disconnected in that way.
Your customer's pain needs to be yours as well.

Muse by Meta is the missing piece in the open e-commerce stack
Amazon vs. the open commerce stack.
Amazon = agent + catalog + marketplace + payment + logistics + ads
Open stack = Muse on top of Shopify + Cloudflare + Visa/Mastercard + Stripe/PayPal + Walmart/UPS/etc.
I’m at a conference and apparently every public-speaking coach on YouTube teaches the same move:

Not sure it os having the intended effect
Maybe the Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook in Dungeon Crawler Carl is AGENTS.md.
Every crawler starts a new session with no continuous learning, so generations leave notes for the next one in one giant hidden Markdown file.
Thousands of yrs of civilization, and we are still here ;)

I'd always thought AI was terrible at design, but after reading today's 🤯 post by @anshuc, I realized I was just doing it wrong.
"AI models are capable of amazing creativity, but that creativity gets stifled. LLMs are trained to be next-token predictors: they look at a sequence of text and predict what typically comes next. Great design is exactly the opposite of this. Great design bends the rules and delights users with memorable, unexpected choices."
@anshuc led design and engineering teams at Apple for 12 years. In his words: "Most people only see 1% of AI's creative potential. I want to show you how to tap into the other 99%."
His 8 techniques for breaking out of the 1%:
1. Use seed strings to inject variety
2. Be much more ambitious with your prompts
3. Create positive feedback loops with subagents
4. Use image generation to enrich designs
5. Use video generation
6. Cut out elements that don’t add value
7. Remove AI tells
8. Rewrite copy by hand

It is crazy to think about that one successful molecule in Pharma can economically resemble an entire giant software company.

Introducing Cues: Voice & Gesture control for Matic
We raised $115M and spent 9 years to make the world’s first intuitive home robot
Say you spilled coffee: Point to the spill and say, "Hey Matic, clean this" and it will hear, see, locate in 3D, and go clean on its own.
Matic comes with a lot of features:
1. Say "Hey Matic" - it locates your voice, turns, and looks at you
2. Say "Hey Matic, follow me" and start walking. Matic will follow behind
3. Say "Hey Matic, go clean the living room". Since it knows your house map, it navigates and just does it
It's so easy, a 5 year old and an 80 year old can use it and it understands 75 different languages.
Matic has 8x the airflow, specialised cleaning algorithms for rugs, corners, toekicks, mopping, etc and cleans better than any other robot vacuum.
Also keeps improving with software updates.
13,000 families use and love Matic.
WIRED magazine gave it a 10/10 (the only hardware to receive this rating in a decade)
Buy yours at maticrobots.com and if you don't love it after 6 months, we'll give you a full refund.
To celebrate our launch, we're cleaning 300 homes with Matic in San Francisco and New York City.
Comment "Matic" below, we'll send you the link to sign up and come to your doorstep to clean your home with Matic.
LFG!

“The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die.”- Bhagavad Gita. A beautiful day for @om. Pure light. Wind off the Pacific, friends gathered in a circle, flowers carried out to sea. Exactly the kind of day he would have wanted to photograph.
