Now they just need to go BRRRRRRRRR again to propel the real estate market further upwards and make sure that no one can buy a home without the government's kind partnership. Beautiful.

They already did that

Their plan isn’t exactly rocket science. It’s pretty obvious. Very sad. Like watching two trains in a head-on collision in slow motion.

ChatGPT is the incarnation of God.

I needed a paragraph for my Etsy listing, so I typed

"Write a paragraph for my Etsy listing using the list of words below:

example words 1,
example words 2,
example words 3
.
.
.
"

Lo and behold. It delivered!

I think that is a bit much. It is a bunch of computers strung together that can figure stuff out with minimal input from the end user.

It's a bunch of computers strung together that can guess the next word in a sentence in a way that seems like it makes sense to most people. It's not figuring anything out; it's not doing any of its own thinking at all.

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 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’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

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...

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 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.

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’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
