A speaker on a side table is playing an episode of Side Story where Janine and Jack are talking about the game Lapidary. A very small wheaten terrier puppy sits in front of the table and stands up into a play bow, tiny tail wagging out of control as he seeks the source of the voices that he wants to play with. After a few moments he calms a bit and collapses into a resting position and settles in to listen

Off to the left a weird shape says "BARREN" with an arrow pointing at it. A label "Platform level end" shows a platform with three segments on it. Below that, "squirt town end" with an image of the platform and the level end to its left. Lower down, text says "jump platform below after dog jump" and right below the word "ENERGY" is circled. A diagram shows three segments, one split segment below that, and a final segment on the right. The final note says "SMASHER LEVEL" with an arrow pointing to a circle on a zig-zag shape"

Screenshot of an anonymous forum post. Joe Rogan is like some barbarian Khan from the steppes that took an interest in intellectual things and his show is basically him bringing slightly nervous scholars and magicians to come before him to explain how the world works "glasses man, you explain to Joe why sky big, and how tree grow" but he will also believe almost anything you tell him and only recently (in the past few years) does he clap back like "Tiny hat man say otherwise, do you lie to Joe? Tiny hat man say fat not bad for you, tha sugar is enemy, so which is truth? Joe thinks you are wrong" and people just nervously go "oh-oh ok h-Haha yah I guess so" "Joe spend many moons on horseback and training with bow and sword, but joe also wonder why skyfire rise from mountains every morning, you will explain this to Joe."
Wikipedia screenshot: Welsh Corgis were cattle herding dogs, the type of herding dog referred to as "heelers", meaning that they would nip at the heels of the larger animals to keep them on the move.[6] The combination of their low height off the ground and the innate agility of Welsh Corgis would allow them to avoid the hooves of cattle.

Ethan Evans on LinkedIn. As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why: The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's. The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere. Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong. Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google). The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam.

LinkedIn post from Gary Vaynerchuk. "Everybody uses a QR code. Because if you want to eat at a restaurant, you need to use it to get the menu. Or when you're travelling, It's your airline ticket. You're not getting anywhere on any airline without using a QR code. Soon that QR code will be an NFT. It will be a better technology for companies like British Airways, Lufthansa and everybody else because it will become a digital asset after you use it. Today, all of our airline tickets sit in our Apple wallets. in a decade, they will become micro collectibles because they will have an artist attached to it. And somebody may offer you $280 for a flight that you took from Bucharest to Mykonos because they follow that artist. And companies will be incentivized to do that cause they make royalty on that transaction."

LinkedIn posts from Leo. In the first post they describe building their new paid saas product with cursor. "Whine about it or start building". In the second post days later they say they are under attack. Maxed out usage on API keys, bypassing subscriptions, creating random shit on the DB. They are not technical so it is taking longer to figure out.

Zach Lloyd (founder/CEO of Warp) post on LinkedIn. "Anyone else having a hard time getting their most senior engineers to consistently use AI developer tools and model their use to the engineering team? The most enthusiastic adopters on our team are designers, PMs, and me. This makes sense because for our designers and PMs these tools (e.g. Warp and Cursor) make the impossible possible, whereas our more senior developers can already accomplish what the tools unlock for others and at most the AI provides a speedup. However, this is unsustainable, and no-one developing software going forward should be doing it all by hand. Ideas on how best to get our senior engineers to fully make the leap to starting every coding task with a prompt?"
