Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

Another one bites the dust in our War on Expensive Software. 😵
Zapier.
An old friend. We’ve used it for 10 years.
We paid for 123 automations. 63 hadn’t run in a month. 2 did 88% of the work.
The rest was form-to-Slack and HubSpot-to-Sheets plumbing.
Claude rebuilt 1 of them. Everything else moved into tools we already pay for.
Zapier: $4,788 a year → $0.
Steal the audit. Export your Zapier task history and give Claude or ChatGPT this:
“List every automation, its owner, and runs in the last 30 days. Flag anything that hasn’t run. Show which few do most of the work. For each one, name a tool we already pay for that could replace it. Give me a cancel plan with dates.”
Bye bye, old friend. 👋

Of all the crazy things AI can do, what blows my mind most is when it listens to my 2-minute voice note in 3 seconds.

Bot detection & human verification will be one of the most urgent demands for businesses over the coming years. Agent swarms will suffocate every website and form; small companies and government websites are most vulnerable.
There is a huge gap in the market for this right now. When we looked at what offerings were in the market to use at X, there was not a single company that brought together all the latest technologies so we had to do it all in-house.

JUST IN: Dating startup Ditto launches AI agents that go on “simulated dates” with hundreds of other users’ agents to find compatibility before recommending real-life matches.
The speed difference between Muse and Openclaw is discombobulating.
Muse executes and confirms in seconds.
OC blabbers a stream of “📖 read” and "🛠 exec" for 1-2min before result.
Anyone else?
