Today, we're killing the billable hour for patent work.
Fearn Legal (@fearnlegal ) is a modern patent firm built from the ground up on our own operating system, FearnOS.
What that means:
→ Flat fees, not hourly billing
→ Drafts in days, not months
→ Experienced patent attorneys reviewing every application
→ One platform for your entire portfolio, with permissions you control
If you're building something worth protecting, we'd love to help.

tl;dr: I started a company, TokenCompass (@tokencompassai) a workforce AI spend measurement and impact attribution platform.
I've spent my career building analytics, attribution and measurement products. I've also managed hundreds of engineers and multi-million dollar cloud bills. Nothing could have prepared me for how much AI has changed our industry and how we plan and work.
The token is becoming the fundamental unit of enterprise work - spanning teams, departments, humans, and agents alike. Organizations need to budget tokens deliberately and deploy them across a diverse mix of AI products and platforms. That demands new tooling, and new ways of measuring work.
That’s why I’m building TokenCompass, which focuses on multi-provider AI spend measurement (how much are we spending across every tool?), and cross company usage + impact attribution (are we using the tools effectively, and making an impact?).
We’re in private beta now. So if you’re trying to stay on top of costs, and trying to get a better understanding of AI usage and impact within your organization, please comment, DM or sign up to request a demo!

Denis Villeneuve talks about his desire to direct RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA:
“There's a possibility of adapting an Arthur C. Clarke novel, ‘RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA’. Like ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ it’s about astronauts coming into contact with another civilization. It’s an exploration where we engage with technology that could realistically exist in the future, unlike ‘DUNE’, which leans more toward fantasy. For the first time, I’d be able to work on hard science fiction. I’d love to do that at least once in my life.”

This sounds like a trivial observation and it isn’t:
No organization which makes its people pay for coffee wants to win.
Co-founder profile red flags:
- Any "Stealth" startup,
- Current 10+ year Oracle lifer,
- Listing your IQ,
- "Impressive accomplishment: 30 Under 30/equivalent title spam,"

- Pineapple on pizza
What else?
