This is insane.
Tesla $TSLA just demoed a flying Roadster, showing the vehicle suspended in mid-air without falling while positioned over an inverted ramp.

THE TESLA ROADSTER. OCTOBER 1ST.
It's finally happening. $TSLA just announced its release.
Literally 19 days from now.

Goodhart's Law: When the measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure.
A charming take on the value of analytics
there is a vast difference between answering what happened & why it happened.
the ppl who can effortlessly answer the latter are far & few but with the rise of influencer culture there are an insane amount of the former category.
beyond these those who can even think about what might happen next is even way smaller.
Email is dead but it’s just more of a digital identity card these days anyway

And once we do, greco-futurism is how we should build our cities and homes on Mars.

Hey, we heard you like BFCM. So:
We built a 2000s BFCM website AND our 2nd BFCM benchmark report.
Watch the video.
Or just go to bfcm.postpilot.com.
Explore.
Download the report.
Reminisce.
We promise it’ll be worth it. 🐄

There’s probably a huge arbitrage opportunity right now for the right person
1. Data is not cheap, new high quality data is expensive
2. It’s likely less expensive than a service to provide for it
3. You could offer a service for free in exchange for data
I have no inside knowledge but generally feels like DeepSeek strategy where it’s essentially free but you’re uploading your codebase to them in exchange
Other opportunities likely exist outside the digital scope
For example, could you pay a normal home cleaner who earns $15/hour an additional $5/hour to wear a headcam?
Or further, could you offer free home cleaning in exchange for the cleaner to wear a headcam?
How about mechanics, roofers, plumbers and more.
Knowledge work is step one and saturated. Step two with robotics is gearing up.

the smartest people you know type to agents in the most broken english imaginable
When people ask where the vibe coded companies are- most of the innovation is actually within existing products/services- I don’t think the consumer landscape hasn’t changed that much (we just have less spending power cuz tokens)

Our company CRM & dashboard is a video game now:
🛥️ businesses arrive by ferry
🏖️ new signups spend their first week on the beach (as they should)
⛲ the plaza fountain sprays exactly as high as our MRR
🏭 factory smoke = real git commits
🗼 the lighthouse shows systems health
🪦 churn = a tiny grave
🧟 win-back emails = literal zombie resurrection
Thinking about connecting slack to our characters in the office now so you can actually chat between the team and agents :)
@pricefoulger Thank you that was a super fun Sunday, I hope this inspires you back some! And I'll go into more detail soon how this was all built in one day.

Would be so hard to pull off, but probably the best idea I've ever seen.
Seriously considering building my roofing company's custom CRM as a tycoon game.
Every project would be a real project I have. My agents would handle real customer communication in the game, as well as project req's like subcontract agreements and permits.
Growth and leveling up in the game mirrors my real life business.
This would make me want to play (work) all day
