if you’re planning on seeing “you can see everything” the reason to go asap (besides it being really compelling) is because it’s already being spoiled all over the internet and it’s so so so much better going in blind
holy I just got out of “you can see everything” and I already know I need to go watch it again bc I indeed did not see everything the first time omg
it's only been 2 months of using personal agents (instinct, muse, caspian) for shopping and my spending habits have already meaningfully increased and shifted as a result
as one example: i love secondhand / vintage, but hate the digging/sifting process which i've now entirely outsourced to these agents
> my average my spending in this category has increased from $365 average to $820 in the last 2 months (they are really really good at uncovering hidden gems i'd never have the time discover on my own)
> my spending has shifted majorly towards sites that are agent-friendly
before: 65% eBay / 25% TheRealReal
now: 50% Poshmark / 30% ThredUp
(all bc my agent can actually send me listings from poshmark/thredup that match what i'm looking for 🫠)
as someone who has no patience for nonstop clicking and sorting i can't see myself going back
as someone who’s been offered this kind of role many times, the three things startups get wrong:
> the math doesn’t math. even top-range salary for most of these kinds of roles is a fraction of the guaranteed comp + personal upside someone can get on their own (ESP in tech/AI as an independent creator or founder). for an established creator this almost never makes sense. bet on an earlier, rising creator, or do a fractional / equity deal that actually works for both sides
> companies want the expertise, then micromanage it to death. a lot of creator friends who took these roles left because they couldn’t use their own judgment / creativity. (and then the work doesn’t perform and both sides are unhappy)
> platform expertise gets treated as interchangeable. some skills overlap, and someone who’s grown on one platform will pick up another faster than average. but being really good on X is not the same as being good on IG, YouTube, or LinkedIn. given how hard this hire already is, expecting A+ on every platform from one person is a disservice. pick the platform you’re optimizing and narrow the expectation to that (or you're setting everyone up for failure/disappointment)

It's no secret how we feel about typing at Wispr Flow.

Everyone will need to adapt. We’re here to help.
Today we are reintroducing Leland to the world.
hyperagent is one of the few AI tools that i use daily and today they’re giving away $10M in credits to 500 founders (!)
even as someone who uses it as much as i do, i can say that $20K goes SUCH a long way. if you’re a founder, apply! (i just did and it takes <10 minutes)

Most fintech companies started in the world's biggest markets and expanded outward.
Most were built in Silicon Valley, with Silicon Valley assumptions.
We started on the other side of the world, in a Melbourne coffee shop.
Outsiders, by every measure.
So we went deeper than anyone wanted to. Reimagining correspondent banking from first principles, not abstracting away the old system but replacing it.
Years of obtaining licenses, building infrastructure, and shipping every financial product a growing business needs including intelligent finance.
Bank accounts in 70+ countries. Treasury across 25+ currencies. Cards, spend management, bill pay, multi-entity, all on one platform.
Built so the whole world feels like your home market.
Now AI means the builders are everywhere.
Global financial infrastructure has always been the hard part.
Ours took eleven years to build, and it's ready for you on day one.

🚨 i'm looking for 2 chronically (tech twitter) online video editors for help with ongoing projects:
1) for talking head videos (who understands tech references, memes, and engaging editing for IG/TikTok)
2) for narrative style videos (take a bunch of clips / a recorded voice overlay + edit them together thoughtfully)
if this is you (or a friend), please DM me with work samples (mandatory!)
estimated 5-10/hrs weekly (and interest in increasing over time) ✨🫡

Dear Crypto,
It took us 4 years to admit the hard truth: tokens don’t make sense and value enabled by blockchains accrues to equities.
We built @artemis in 2022 to bring fundamentals to crypto. We succeeded spectacularly. The best liquid token funds use Artemis. However, most tokens that don’t have strong revenue are down only.
Along the way we pioneered stablecoin analytics, app-level revenue tracking, and comparing blockchains across real KPIs.
We were jeered as normies for focusing on revenue in crypto and trying to figure out what's real.
Turns out the normies were right. Revenue and Free Cash Flow is what matters.
Today we announce the launch of Artemis II:
The open investment terminal for ANY and EVERY investor who wants to be smart.
It's the terminal I wish I had when I left the hedge fund industry in 2022.
It's the terminal I wish my Yeh Yeh had when he was investing to try and feed his family of 7, and the terminal @anthonyyim’s Dad wished he had when he was trying to break into Wall Street.
The first sector we’re tackling is Digital Finance. It’s for the fintech investor —the ones comparing Robinhood and Hyperliquid, drilling into Circle CPN vs Stripe Tempo on the same screen, comparing Polymarket and Kalshi incentives.
Next is AI, then Energy, and beyond.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose,
Jon & Anthony
