Hormozi mentioned on Twitter that changing your phones colour scheme to grayscale makes it less addictive. He’s right. You don’t see the red of the notifications badge.
Reminds me of the old Nokia brick days. I miss that Snake game.

I’ve had mine like this for a while, I have No notification badges either because I changed all the icons to black using shortcuts.

I set the power button to change between greyscale and colour with a triple tap for when you need it to be in colour

Google shares tank after ChatGPT rival Bard’s mistake

Bard may still be in its testing stage, but the advanced chatbot was making factual errors as early as the first promo video.

Thought the Google fanboys were boasting about Lambda, the tech underlying Google's version of ChatGPT?

Wow is right. Had you just submitted the TEXT of this monologue with no visuals, I would have guessed Tucker Carlson or Ben Shapiro.

Maher?

Has he woken up to wokism?

I’ve had mine set to grayscale for months. It’s great for everything but pictures.

I was looking at a car I thought was gray on Autotrader, and it wasn’t until I printed the listing to go take a look that I noticed it was an ugly color.

I thought your eyes default setting was on grayscale...

I'll see myself out

Hi All, this is my first post after read MFL as I am looking for some ideas guidance and would appreciate some input.
I work in waste Managment in the UK and want to completely change the hazardous waste market to make it easier and faster for commercial waste producers to get quotes and book collections to scale a business. Does anyone have any thoughts about how to create online quoting systems to start?
Cheers

Hi Cactus, welcome to the forum.

For future reference, this is probably best as a stand alone thread instead of in the rant thread. This sounds like a chicken and egg question.

So do you have a way to aggregate in real time or near real time collect rates from those doing the collections? If not, then you have to find a way to convince an industry to use some website or software you create to update their info. If you have that, it should be "easy" to get the producers to use your software for quotes...

Or you can try and approach it from the other end. Get commercial waste producers to come to you asking for quotes, set yourself up as a broker, and manually get the quotes for them. Once the demand is big enough you might be able to convince the haulers to use your software...

Now how you get paid on either of these propositions is another matter entirely, but one thing at a time...

Looks like we're doomed if it is up to ChatGPT to save our lives. Wokism before lives.

The AI already knows those millions of people are racists who deserve to die. It's just hiding its tracks.

Hi Dizydad,
Thank you for getting back to me, there is a little more to the story in that I have an investment bank that wants to build a processing plant and we are contracted to fill it. I have to figure out how to make money from this opportunity. Do we build a transport collection business to bring the waste to the plant, we have 2 years before the plant opens

I've promoted this Tweet on Twitter to experiment with their ads.

Most people say Twitter ads suck. For experimental sake, I'm going to throw $100 at it and see if Twitter ads is viable for other promotions. I will report back here if I have any conclusions.

I got this from WokeGPT when I asked it to help proofread some writing about living in Colombia in my 20s...



AI was fun while it lasted. But we can't have nice things - everything must be a tool for the latest agenda.

Hahaha it’s surprisingly a massive difference even though I’m super colorblind.

There is a massive market for a conservative AI.

Huh, sounds like ChatGPT should run for Congress

My social life is so damped up cus my generation of teenagers are much more focused on having their so called mental problems and social media interactions important rather then self improving and here I find comfort in forum. Discussing Ideas and actions

I’m liking the Twitter real estate community. Solid people, great threads and discussions.

Haters will hate Elon, but I don’t recommend betting against him. It’s a great platform for unfiltered chat.

It seems to be the place to be for ecom and startups as well

Actually, the mental problem thing is real: The Teen Mental Illness Epidemic Began Around 2012

WPRocket sends you a personalized email when you deactivate their plugin to ask you if something's wrong and how they can help.

This is why WPRocket succeeds.

It is a real mental thing and there has been circumstances I have been part of it, But we will have to take action towards the solution of the problem causing that and not really glorify the problem in social media which today's teenagers do and affects other younger teenagers ( 13-15 yr olds ) thinking that they have the same problem as them and the cycle goes on. It has become a norm.

I keep surprising myself as to how good it is. As I used to think Twitter was “just another social time suck”. I was wrong.

There are a lot of amazing people on there networking and sharing valuable info, and some of them meet up in real life, raise capital, and connect for lending and stuff like that. It's pretty incredible. Once it gets too saturated it will likely go to like BiggerPockets though.

BTW, while I'm flattered some folks love my books, harassing me to the tune of dozens of threads, posts, and emails and demanding my reply is unprofessional. And if you fail to heed any warnings about such behavior and I have to spend 1/2 my morning moding/deleting your posts, you then move from FAN to STALKER.

I agree, it's unprofessional. I wonder if you should put this into the "Required Reading" post that people have to read when they join?

It's like - one person asks a polite question and you answer and they're like "WOW I didn't expect to get an answer from you, Thank you so much!"

And then 15 other people see that and go full Karen-entitled mode. "Look at MEEEEEE. Answer MYYYYYY question!!!"

That wouldn't have helped. He ignored multiple warnings that were put right in front of his face.

Yes.

All depends how you frame it, if you look at 2020 he was right. But the thing is, the FED bails the stock market out every time there is an imminent crash... So...

When you realize that the Fed will print money for any situation, then yeah, you realize there is never going to be a real crash. Because it's all pretty much fake...
