ChatGPT Ad Example.
After writing a letter to my son for his 5th birthday, I wanted to reword something so he could understand it better (ELI5).
Wondering if these are effective, and how expensive placements are.
Let’s just get rid of supply and demand too while we’re at it… ridiculous.
I ordered my MacBook on Feb 5th. It just arrived today, over 1 month later.
Thankfully they upgraded me to the new M5 Max chip. Can’t complain, and very excited to get rolling on this thing.
Can someone build an AI app that is fully aware of what Im working on each day?
It would 'listen and watch' what I'm working on always, then creates a timestamped file of events. AI would then use that as context to.
Do any good ones exist today?
A few important pieces of context:
1. This agency was granted authority to spend $11B last year. They carried over a balance of $4B from last year, and were given $7B more in 2025.
2. The stated goal is to only allow 7500 new migrants. Not sure why billions are needed for that.
Imagine your last name is Waddle and you make it to the NFL. You become known for waddling like a penguin in your TD celebrations.
Are you a loser? Or are you really cool?
Idk man I just feel like that’s something I’d do and I’m not really cool.
So sick of the politics on X. Wish there was an authentic, raw space for professionals to discuss their craft still.
I've had zero bill with @fivetran for months. All of a sudden pricing plans were changed and I rack up over $1300 in less than 15 days.
They are unwilling to talk through things. I really don't understand how this is okay.
Note: nothing changed on my account during the time the account was free, versus the 15 days I racked up $1300+. Only their policies.
They would have retained me as a client and made thousands more from me if they showed some understanding/empathy for their customers.
Many apps do this, including Facebook, Instagram, and just about any other app that has an in-app browser.
This isn’t the issue. The potential issue is that China has authority over Bytedance, so China could technically get all our info.
The same goes for Apple in China though…
Does Google Search Ads work better when Search Partners are enabled?
Varos says Search Partners ROAS is 5.86x in November, up 16.57% from October.
Meanwhile, Search without Search Partners ROAS is 4.95x in November, down 16.94% from October.
When was the last time a new sales funnel/landing page/checkout software came out?
I feel like the only new ones are Shopify plugins now. Itching for something more modern, useable, and customizable that stands on its own.
Too many companies lead with "We use [trendy tech]" instead of "We solve [painful problem]."
1. Customers don't buy technology - they buy solutions to problems
2. Your blockchain/AI/IoT means nothing if it doesn't solve a real pain point
3. Features are nice, but outcomes are everything
The fanciest solution isn't always the right solution

Controversial opinion: The success of your paid ads depends far less on the ads themselves than you might think.
It's not just the ad. Think about the whole ecosystem: Landing pages, email sequences, webinars, VSLs, newsletters, content, SEO, VSLs, case studies, testimonials, sales, offer refinement.
The ad is just the tip of the iceberg. It's the entire ecosystem around it that truly determines your ROI. Good media buyers know this, and are able to pull the right levers to get the ads working more effectively.
