Richard Hughes could be given a year to organise Christmas dinner and still be defrosting the turkey on Boxing Day.

I invested in the Hustle back in the day when I was poor. It was a pretty early newsletter and newsletters were getting acquired for a ton. It was like a 12x when they got acquired I was retarded and naive and like 30 and way too trustworthy but. … Deep in the 100 page term sheet was some thing that was like “if we sell for less than X everyone only gets 2x” So fuck Sam Parr in his ass. Nice guy great guy. Wow what a legend. Scam artist.

ABSOLUTELY BONKERS that 93% of Plus users weren't using o3. RIP o3, you were the 🐐
Replying to @sama
the percentage of users using reasoning models each day is significantly increasing; for example, for free users we went from <1% to 7%, and for plus users from 7% to 24%. i expect use of reasoning to greatly increase over time, so rate limit increases are important.

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker. We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition. Icon (icon.me) is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes. How it works: 1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads. 2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences. 3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete. 4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy. 3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300. We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points: 1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more. 2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics. 3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for: 🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning 📈 Creative analytics 📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC 👥 Audience research 📁 Video storage & tagging Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉). If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻

LFG! 25 also the number of Barry Lamar Bonds so let’s make 2025 a HOME RUN year
2025 = 45^2 It's a perfect square. It will probably be the only perfect square year you ever get to live in. The last time that occurred was in 1936. The next will be in 2116. So, make 2025 a perfect year for you.

I don’t get all the hoopla around Advanced Voice on ChatPT. Is it a tech marvel? Definitely. Am I bullish on AI? Yes. But all the people saying mind blowing this or that are showing it changing its voice. Cool party trick. That’s about it

The coldest Olympics photo of Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina after a run in French Polynesia. Taken by photographer Jerome Brouillet, which is hard to believe until you see live-action shot of Medina in the video below.
