Would you hand an AI every bank account you have? @deemurthy did. Told Meta's Muse "save me money": 8 streaming subs bundled, a Bloomberg sub he forgot he had, cancelled. $4K saved for the year. Genius or insane? 👇 Full ep: youtube.com/watch?v=jjula611…

Anthropic filed to go public today. Days earlier it pledged 5% of its equity to an LLC that will hand out money "for the public good." On GroupChat: "I'm more afraid of that fund than I am of AI." Generous move, or diluting shareholders right before the IPO?

GLP-1s got people to stop craving junk food. Could a shot do the same for your phone? On GroupChat: "There would literally need to be a social media shot." "You would literally have to have a medical intervention to stop your brain from wanting the next hot TikTok video." Would you take it? new GroupChat

Netflix just had its slowest growth in three years and the stock sits at a two-year low. On GroupChat: "Why are there good shows on HBO and Paramount... why can't you just make a good show?" The backup plan if you can't pick hits: "just do sports." Is YouTube the real TV now? new GroupChat

Agent checkout on all these consumer agents is still slow & painful. I know it's early days but beating Amazon 1 click will be difficult.

There’s outrage and growing calls for an investigation after some Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers reported their utility bills tripling in recent months — spiking by hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass released a statement Tuesday announcing plans for some major changes to bring temporary relief for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers affected.

2,000 restaurants closed in New York in the first half of the year. Rent, labor, healthcare… and GLP-1s. "Do you know how many times I go to meals with people and nobody eats?" Are weight-loss drugs quietly killing restaurants? new GroupChat

Outrage from @LADWP customers who say their bills have tripled in recent months. @AnnieRoseNews talked to one woman whose bill is $24K. We at @KTLA invite the LADWP Board to come to talk to us about this. ktla.com/news/local-news/sky…

I listened. @Anand_Murthy we too offer people money to self deport like Sweden. It hasn’t solved the problem. Because 🇺🇸 is the greatest country in the world and nobody will willingly leave.

Apple's first foldable sold out in minutes, and the new CEO is already calling rival foldables "cheap and crappy." On GroupChat, right after Tim Cook stepped down, one of us called it: "I think he's a gunslinger. I think it'll make the stock more volatile. I think he's gonna take a big bet." Bold new Apple, or is the foldable just a novelty? 👇

Investors are now talking $1.5 trillion for Anthropic's IPO, down from $2 trillion. On GroupChat we ran the math at the $2T number: "Google owns 20% of Anthropic... 20% of a $2 trillion dollar company is $400 billion dollars." So who really wins this IPO: Dario, Google, or whoever buys in at $1.5T? 👇

Scared of AI? Watch where the richest people in tech are putting their money. On GroupChat: "The richest people in the world who are most informed about the future of how the world works want to buy the Lakers. The Seahawks." Smart money or trophy shopping? 👇

Everyone's arguing about whether a billionaire would still use an iPhone 15. On GroupChat, one of us skipped the debate: no apps, no social media, no nothing. "I am the highest status of the future. The problem is I'm just too early." Is an empty home screen the real flex? 👇

Tesla just unveiled the new Roadster, but the real flex is already in the car. On GroupChat, @dramadrama: "tell it like hey take me to group chat and it just FSDs you." Would you let Grok drive your whole day? 👇

Dee (@deemurthy) got a $3,000 LADWP bill for two months. No pool. AC on 73. The whole family was gone for two weeks in August. Now he wants a data center in his backyard 😂 From the new GroupChat. @KTLA @ABC7 @NBCLA @FOXLA @latimes LA, how bad was your last DWP bill?

The biggest issue with the consumer shopping agents being built is that they are built by men who don't shop. The sample prompts are nowhere close to how women discover & buy products. Technology folks forget the most important thing when buying something is the brand.

Gartner says $3.5 trillion of AI spending could be at risk because the revenue isn't there. On GroupChat, @deemurthy ran the math: 135 million US households, and "2% pay for AI." 91% pay for streaming. Bubble, or just early? 👇

We built this and will be giving agents access soon. We went through a lot of effort to have a clean product catalog, top tier name brand suppliers that can fulfill within 24 hours. LFG 🔥🔥🔥

The future is a merchant product that makes one’s inventory available via MCP / headlessly and accepts agent payments. I suspect shipping can be done thru fedex/ups/usps direct from merchant at similar cost when you strip out the Amazon take rate (ie merchant can spend more if needed to ship quickly). The moat isn’t what it is anymore. That is why they are blocking.
