Oasis is looking for legal counsel to help defend the future of transparent consumer health. Two years ago we started independently testing and reviewing lab data on bottled waters, filters and then expanded our research into other categories. Over a million consumers have relied on us for information about products that brands often don't share themselves. We always knew this mission would be contentious. Independent product testing has been sued by manufacturers for as long as it has existed: Consumer Reports spent years defending its Suzuki Samurai testing, and the Yuka app was sued by the French meat industry over its additive warnings. Both won. Transparency tends to. Recently LMNT, a company whose own filings show over $200M in annual revenue, filed a 51-page lawsuit against Oasis and against me personally, represented by Quinn Emanuel, one of the largest litigation firms in the country (Elon Musk and Jay Z's law firm). Our mission is consumer education and we take accuracy seriously. When we've gotten something wrong, we've corrected it publicly and we hold ourselves to the highest standard. We are a small, bootstrapped consumer-transparency startup focused on publishing lab data and informing consumers. We invest heavily in our own independent testing and publicly sharing this information. We have no interest in a prolonged court battle, have taken steps to remedy the complaint and remain open to any reasonable resolution. But we believe deeply in the right to publish independent lab data and we intend to defend it. We are seeking counsel who can join us to set the record straight and and lay the foundation for a better-informed consumer future. Please email cormac@oasishealth.app

I got banned twice on Reddit for promoting my product without enough comment history (ground rule). So I built an auto-commenting bot using @claudeai. - It earns 10x more karma than I do by actually giving helpful feedback and answering questions. - Its comments look just like mine (even my teammates couldn't tell it was AI). - It can also run in batch mode to easily fill your daily quota within specific subreddits. I already gained 263 karma in just 3 days of using it. Now I can consistently promote my product without triggering Reddit’s spam filters. If you follow, comment, and repost this, I’ll send you the repository link.

You mathmatically can't compound your way to wealth anymore... 20 years, 7% returns, 3% inflation, 40% taxes -- best case you 1.5x your investment. That is why the kids YOLO it... plain and simple.

Bingeing TikTok reels may be hazardous to your well-being. 71 studies, >98k people: The more short-form videos teens and adults watched, the more they struggled with attention, self-control, and stress and anxiety. Read a book. Watch a movie. Long live longform.

Calling all founders, builders and doers. We’re creating a new kind of space. For the ones who can’t not build. For the ones who ship from anywhere. For those who see the system and design their own. We’re building the next generation of products and companies — used by billions. No courses. No schemes. No lambos. Just output. Starting in Los Angeles and SoCal. Connected worldwide. The mission: build cool shit with the best talent in the game, from spaces designed for focus, health, and performance. Enter the arena. (beta v0.0.1)

Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: “The core unlock that could happen with prediction markets is if you forecast the future better, you are pricing risk.” “If you can price risk, then you can make better decisions about the risk.” “And then also you can transfer it, you can hedge. And I think that's where the market really, really becomes very, very large.” Source: @mansourtarek_ (CEO @Kalshi) with @MollySOShea on @sourceryvc

AI a true platform shift. Unlike AR, VR, voice, & crypto — all “fake” platform shifts I’m proud to say I ignored — AI will change everything. This isn’t a technology in search of a solution, it’s a technology that’s useful in every industry. Make the most of it! 😎

The zealotry around crypto annoyed me the most. The combination of grifters claiming “platform shift!”, an unregulated asset class, and a lost generation clamoring for status, meaning, and means was a perfect storm. As I saw friends get rich from NFTs and other schemes, no one seemed to care about the buyer. The uber drivers, sales associates, and trade workers lost. Who won?

And to be clear — this isn’t an indictment of my friends who did crypto things — I know many who had no ill intentions. Just my personal take on what I think will go down in history of one of the wildest moments in human history, that AI gave me the confidence to share.

I don’t get these morons who somehow justify paying 40% more to live in California and in exchange, they only get +200% more days where they can go outside.
