RT @TMTLongShort: The memory tax is now costing American tax payers more than the interest payment on national debt. Modestly offset by the…

bros I think I picked the wrong time to get a place in korea 💀 right after flying out of dubai too lol

I skipped the 5 hours line by doing self check-in instead

China is not even a hard country to travel to... yes, download the apps (didi, alipay, wechat), get the vpn, yada yada but besides that, it's one of the first country I've been in where people whip out their translate app as soon as you speak a word of English they are quick to resolve issues most other places around the world, people say "yes yes" and you end up figuring out later that they didn't really know what you were saying

Claude Code hack for content creators who get stuck... paste any YouTube channel URL & ask it to scrape their top 10 videos + thumbnails it'll use yt-dlp + whisper locally to download + transcribe everything into txt files then get it to create an analysis .md for each video breaking down: - why it went viral - hook strategy used - thumbnail psychology - objective performance rating now whenever you're brainstorming content, just @ those analysis files & let AI help you remix winning formulas no more staring at blank screens wondering what to create

easiest way right now to get started with making money online has to be selling digital products you don't even have to show your face here are AI models you can use - Elevenlabs for voice - Imagen 4, Seedream, GPT-4o, Flux for images - PixVerse, Hailuo, Seedance, Veo3, Kling for videos - Nanobanana, Flux Kontext MAX, GPT-4o for image editing you could either do your own product or affiliate marketing, but tbh aff marketing seems to be the play - don't have to make a product - focus on the distribution right away - scale distribution later check out clickbank for offers if you build your own product, use a VPS + Claude Code to spin up a nice landing page quickly another crazy thing is you could even run your offers in foreign markets since you can translate everything with AI dam I might have to do this now

vibe coding is all fun, until you need to look under the hood to vibe fix

the mass exodus from OpenAI tells you everything... they knew the track they were on wasn't leading to AGI, just another business optimizing for profit the recent plateau proves it - getting to AGI should be exponential, but all we're seeing is marginal returns & fancy wrappers real AGI won't come from a company that's more focused on enterprise deals than solving intelligence google's deepmind team not having to even think of profitabilty is an understated strength

businesses making $1M+ ARR have always needed automation... but it wasn't until n8n came out that people actually started using it something about seeing a graph with nodes and edges in dark mode just made it 100x more understandable than "some code" most ppl still don't realize they could be making $10k+ cold hard cash in their pockets every month with simple automations the visual workflow builder somehow changed everything started getting more inbound lately, finally seeing businesses wake up to this

I always forget that once you're in SEA you can catch flights to other cities for only $30

ngl strangest thing from the tech industry was this notion of "imposter syndrome" wdym you feel like you don't belong? it's ok to say you just wanna collect the paycheck imagine an electrician coming over to your house to fix some cables and overhearing him saying this

it's funny how you can tell this is a very Japanese style thumbnail (heavy text presence) I've been seeing these auto-dubbed videos recommended lately on YouTube from Russian and Japanese to Spanish, the Google AI magic is at work but still different markets have different thumbnail preferences which makes me think Google has all that thumbnail data, it would be interesting to see if they come up with something here.. titles and thumbnails are core to a video's success. no clicks, no views

If you're still manually creating video ads in 2025, you're already unemployed. The market just hasn't told you yet. Last week, an ad agency quoted my friend $50,000 for a 30-day campaign with 20 video creatives. I built something in less than 1 day that can produce 20 videos in 20 minutes. For $29/mo. Here's the insane part: - One product photo - One actor photo - One Telegram message prompt Result? → Hollywood-quality video ad in 1 minute. The creative director who saw it literally asked: "Which production house shot this?" Nobody. It's AI all the way down. The Stack: - Telegram bot → N8N automation - Gemini 2.0 Flash categorizes inputs - NanoBanana merges product + actor - Veo3 generates ultra-realistic video - Auto-logged to Google Sheets - Delivered to Google Drive The Results Are Terrifying (If You're an Agency not using AI): ✓ Natural movements that fool professionals ✓ Perfect product placement every time (almost) ✓ Voice so real, people ask which actor we hired ✓ 1000x faster than traditional production ✓ 0.04% of the cost These videos are also way more engaging because you can create fictitious scenarios that stop people from scrolling away. Plot twist: The "wellness benefits" Coca-Cola ad you see above? AI-generated. Took <1 minute Big agencies are charging $10K+ for what now costs less than your morning coffee. The revolution isn't coming. It's here. And it fits in your pocket. Comment "veo3" and I'll send you the N8N workflow and personally walk you through how to set this up for yourself to try.
