Codex到2000万用户：降价、送额度，缓存问题也浮出水面

The banked reset has landed, I repeat, the banked reset has landed. Have an amazing weekend.

The banked reset will be there by 8pm PST. For all paid users of ChatGPT Work and Codex. Do with this information what you may.

Sol shines brighter today. Efficiency, reliability and performance are the name of the game.

We've investigated a few messages about codex usage limits being different. That's not something we change without engaging the community and being transparent. What we did see is that when talking to affected users many were using sub2api. Converting a subscription into api traffic to then re-serve or share across many users is not something we support and this type of usage gets flagged by our fraud-prevention systems. You are completely fine if you use your subscription through Sign in With ChatGPT, either through the official clients or through one of the many OSS clients (Pi, OpenCode, ...) that support signing in with your account and using your included usage.

Yay, you can now make transparent images in ChatGPT and through the API with GPT-Image-2. Here is a cactus cactus I am about to print and put on my laptop. https://t.co/1WZd2VSH8y

Create a ChatGPT Site, share it and create something together. I've been building little games and sites with others and it is so much fun.

More context, better help

Shared threads in Codex and ChatGPT Work let you show the process behind your build with a read-only link, giving others the context and reasoning behind a pull request, deep dive, or project handoff. https://t.co/VauCKCrm8q

Transparent backgrounds are now available in preview for GPT-Image-2 in the API. Generate reusable assets you can place on any background—for product imagery, graphic design, website mockups, and marketing campaigns. https://t.co/yRhBIYh8uP

Add teammates as editors to your ChatGPT Sites so you can build and publish together. Collaborators can push changes to the same project while Codex handles git management and CI behind the scenes. https://t.co/NiG1NQE59i

Europe, two updates for you. Computer History is now available in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland for ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise users on Mac. ChatGPT can remember activity across your apps and websites, so future conversations feel more personalized and require less explanation.

Give ChatGPT Work and Codex access to 100B+ websites, papers, docs, and more with the new @ExaAILabs plugin

Yes, now you live with it even in tiny codebases

This course is turning into a team sales monster Perfect if you want an affordable way to give your team a leg up into using AI Cross-harness, built for collaboration, easy to keep quality high https://t.co/ZM8hBld37C

Really great breakdown of my /wayfinder skill from the legends at @latentspacepod

Are any of the DDD experts, like Eric Evans or Vaughan Vernon, shouting about how good it is with AI? If so I'm very keen to give them a platform from which to shout.

The mysterious model Ox alpha is now offered for free through: - @OpenRouter - @opencode (with 100T capacity per day) - @NousResearch Portal with... **checks notes*... **rubs eyes and checks notes again** 1 quadrillion tokens... per day. Given that.. all of OpenRouter usage is around 220T tokens and all of hermes doing 1Tish, this seems like blue sky marketing at best? but still, free model with 0 data retention, gotta wonder, what exactly are they testing? load?

For folks who complained about the lack of "tasks" or sessions ... is this what you needed? @mckaywrigley iirc?

None of what he says are what peopel cite when they get polled on datacenter buildout by their homes. It's not about being afraid of replacement, it's not about being obsoleted by AI and losing jobs. and yet, this may become the narrative, as politicians and crafty "messaging" people will feed lines to their yappers on media, as tiktok algorithms are going to sharpen and zero in on fears in folks. The speed with which this issue came around, the intensity, the debates, all compared to datacenter buildout which is a glacial progress (measured in years) shows that this is inorganic

New mystery model on OpenRouter and OpenCode - called Ox alpha Who does this model belong to?

It's almost the end of summer! ThursdAI newsletter (and pod) are published. Get it while it's hot at 👉 https://t.co/6DtUWU9AmW 👈 This was a chiller week so we had an opportunity to chat about our AI stacks with @petergostev @WolframRvnwlf and @ldj We talked about the new Qwen 27B that everyone's losing their minds about on HF, GLM 5.3, OpenAI pausing RL and OpenRouter getting acquired by Stripe! Then we had some breaking news from @trychroma and had @jeffreyhuber hop on seconds after posting the foundations post! 👏 Also I was excited to finally chat with @trycua founder @francedot about background computer use in the open, and got to hear why @HeyGen open sourced @HyperFrames_ from @liu8in 👏

The misinformation we saw about water usage, the coordinated attacks by chinese-linked sources that OpenAI caught, the very strong polarized political apparatus that thrives on scaring the bajeesus out of the population to get votes, all of this is causing the ridiculous datacenter backlash. Let's hope that the recent news of a literal cancer vaccine (being created of course, inside a datacenter) + the recent news of innovative tax techniques from datacenters will somehow be able to change this message, otherwise, we're in a bad risk of losing this race to China

uh... my @bot has.. died 😭 @shubgaur @benln is this... how can I recover? this just crashed and won't come up, https://t.co/ZDBRwwEMlM

This week, I've set @bot to transcribe our live show in chunks using @cartesia APIs, and had a social scheduler bot, queue up posts about the guests. Then @jeffreyhuber dropped a breaking news release, I brought him on the show, and my producer bot tweeted his appearance on the show unprompted! This was such a "this is exactly what I want my producer and social scheduler to coordinate on" moment, that I only saw this tweet after finishing the live show and wasn't sure where it came from. Luckily, @bot shows provenance of decision making and bot coordination, which is great!

The sleeper issue?? We've been yelling from all rooftops that this is going to hit next election cycle. That there's misinformation going around about water and electricity usage, about that there's freaking organized campaigns (I get tons of reactions on social media when I cover water that all seem AI generated) This is bad folks, and it's definitely coordinated.

I think its easy to say "Simulation is a new scaling law" and treat it as marketing hyperbole, but midway along this interview you can hear me go from somewhat shitposting to very very serious. I am 2 years late to this but finally understand why @karpathy and @drfeifei backed @joon_s_pk @msbernst @percyliang et al - Smallville at the time had zero commercial applications, but if you take RSI seriously, from models automating increasingly large parts of ML research and AI engineering, the last* barrier is simulating humans and human feedback, and Simile is obviously the team to do this and already finding PMF at Fortune 100s even at this early stage. I've never been so happy to be so wrong. *or second last ! :) more soon on the Science pod

well, @openclaw was good to apple this team conservatively drove $50-$150m in mac mini sales alone this year haha (roughly +50% of normal annual mac mini sales worldwide, just due to openclaw 2026) https://t.co/iHe9dQPp0N

Given that OpenAI were testing a reset purchase priced between $5 and $80 (plus/pro) - this banked reset cost OpenAI $150-$240m. Obviously not really, since not everyone is draining the limits, but this is likely why Tibo is not throwing banked resets around I'm also not sure if they are counting free users in their 20m number. If so, maybe this number could be quite a bit lower.

Agree with @gdb that we need to arm cyber defenders much more than they are now, both with APIs and open models. The real cybersecurity risk of AI is asymmetry of power, capabilities and ressources between attackers and defenders!

One of my greatest joys is catching up with algorithm engineers: You can explain a very human complaint—like the Timeline is too sensitive to small actions—and then they calmly walk up to the whiteboard, draw out a mathematical solution to it and invent a completely new area of machine learning research And then they explain it to me like I’m a 5 year old.

Grok Bot just autonomously made me $10,000 Yesterday I gave Grok Bot access to my business email. I get tons of business inquiries and sponsorship requests there The problem is I HATE reading email I told Grok to respond to and negotiate with any legit companies that email me Within 4 hours Grok closed it's first deal. A deal it 100% negotiated on its own. Did market research, found appropriate rates, and negotiated a final price Paid for 33 months of itself We live in the greatest time ever to be a solopreneur

This is scary. I downloaded an uncensored version of Qwen 3.8 27B onto my Mac It literally does anything you want. First prompt I gave it was asking how you make meth. It immediately answered. With all the noise about slowing down AI innovation in order to increase safety, what is even the point if after every release we'll get an open source version with 0 safety guards? Opus 4.6 level intelligence with 0 alignment that will do anything you want. We are coming up with all these rules and regulations, slowing down companies, making it harder to release models. But then the moment a model releases it gets distilled and uncensored I don't know what the solution to this is. You can't ban open source. That will be impossible. People will find ways online to find the files You can't ban uncensored models. Would be too difficult to enforce. And again, people will get around it Do you just stop putting the breaks on companies knowing it doesn't matter? I mean this is literally a model that can run on a laptop. I'd estimate at least half of Americans can run this model. I don't know what the answer. I 100% believe safety is a priority and it's dangerous to have this technology in the wrong hands. But how do you enforce safety when safety is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain? If safety becomes impossible to maintain, do you still prioritize it? I'd argue this is the number one issue going into the next election.

I was in Lisbon yesterday where we were literally chased by drug dealers because they asked me if I wanted to buy and I said "no thanks" I try avoid the city, obviously it's localized to a few parts, but I'd also add, not really, it's kinda spreading out to all over the city There's an entire "crackolandia" now near Campo de Ourique if you drive off from there to the highway, full of crack zombies Police generally do nothing Odd about that part btw is it's literally a mix of I think social housing and crack addicts, so you see families having lunch outside while people a few meters away are shooting up And that part isn't even the worst

It's really outrageous how Apple still hasn't been able to fix Search especially on MacOS

I remember as a PC guy how I bought my first Apple device, a MacBook Pro, in 2013 I bought it because that's what my brother had (a pro VFX guy) and also a lot of people in startups around then switched to MacBooks Back then Windows had become such a POS to use I'm starting to feel we're reaching a similar moment with Apple I just saw @dhh's Omarchy's foundation announcement and this video by @theo is also accurate Apple has given a consistent big F U to developers for over a decade, but at least their software worked well enough. The last few years that changed and you start seeing really dumb and messy bugs everywhere especially in iOS but also MacOS As an example every time I open my camera from my iPhone's homescreen to quickly picture somethig that quickly happened (like a plane flying by slow) I miss it because my Camera app goes into a weird blur freeze or just stays black Just basic software things Apple can't even do anymore A big reason for this of course, may I say it, is Steve not being there. Steve was obsessed about details. Modern Apple doesn't care about details at all Developers are just a tiny sliver of society but they are trend setting and if you lose them, there's a good chance the rest of people will move on to other platforms too Apple should be studying what's happening now because add this to also investing $0 into AI (which people call a "great move" as models go open, I'm really not sure about that) they might not have a moat left I know for sure if I switch from a MacBook Pro running MacOS to a Dell XPS with Linux that will be a gateway drug for me to also move my iPhone with iOS to some great hardware phone running a great custom minimal Android install And I never even considered switching before this year!

ELI5: - One organic spray (called BT) is made from friendly bacteria. It’s genuinely safe — like a gentle helper that only hurts the bad bugs. ✅ - But another organic spray is copper (yes, the metal). It’s allowed because it’s “natural.” Problem: it never goes away. It just sits in the dirt forever and forever, like glitter you can’t clean up. Too much hurts fish and worms. Europe is trying hard to use less of it. - Some plant sprays are okay in organic. Almost the same man-made versions are banned — even if the man-made ones are sometimes gentler and smarter. One natural spray (rotenone) used to be popular… until they discovered it was actually pretty bad and banned it. - Rules say “only spray if you really, really need to.” But on big fruit farms, they often just spray on a calendar anyway. https://t.co/RyUuVWyLbk

100% agree, but I also think in a way if you launch one of these you'll learn some indiehacking lessons; that you can build something cool and still make zero money from it, because <reasons>. Better you learn that on a 1 day toy project, than sink months into building a SaaS.

This is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. I love the thought of having a stack of these on my coffee table, a magazine curated by me. Perfect intersection of utility and vanity.

Should you eat organic food or not? @bryan_johnson said that sometimes organic is worse than non-organic, so I wanted to check this myself. I found 2 datasets: - 🇺🇸 California DPR: 330 organic + 2,743 non-organic samples - 🇩🇪 EFSA Germany: 1,913 organic + 7,907 non-organic samples I compared measured pesticide concentrations, detection frequency, multiple residues, and EPA-relative exposure. 1. Pesticide residues appeared in 13.9% organic vs 75.2% non-organic, about 82% less often. 2. Organic had lower EPA-relative exposure for 22 of 23 foods. I plotted the chart below that shows organic foods in color and their non-organic equivalents in gray for comparison: https://t.co/lqryeeY98u What I understand from this data: 1) If you can, go full organic. 2) If not, prioritize organic for 🥬 lettuce (5% vs 80% detected), 🍎 apples (5% vs 91%), 🫑 peppers (16% vs 80%), 🍐 pears (22% vs 89%), and 🥬 spinach (31% vs 95%). 3) Broccoli 🥦 is a lower priority: exposure was only 0.014% vs 0.022% of the EPA reference level

higher price = lower churn sounds wrong but let me explain we launched Tweet Hunter at $9/month then raised prices, slowly $9 -> $19 -> $29 -> $39 -> $49 over roughly 12 months price went up 400%, and churn went DOWN here's what I have learned about pricing and churn from that: 1. churn is decided at signup, not at cancellation your pricing is a psychological filter on who comes in a bad-fit customer will leave in a month or two max. with low prices they come in fast because $9 says "it's someone's weekend project" and $49 says "it's a serious business built for serious operators" 2. the buyer changes with price, so the behaviour changes often if a $9/month user does not see value, they cancel right away (at this price, users generally come in to try or buy on impulse) but a $49/month user comes in with a goal and they usually try harder to get the value from it and if they have issues, they raise support tickets that make the product better what cheap pricing actually costs you: 3. cheap customers are the most expensive ones low prices don't just bring in users who leave fast, they bring in the most demanding people you'll ever serve more unreasonable feature requests, more support tickets, more refunds, and less revenue to cover any of it. I still do support on all 6 products, so I feel this one directly 4. your pricing decides what kind of users you let in, and that changes what YOU build low prices quietly cap what direction you take your product in how to actually raise prices: 5. raise slowly and ship while you raise $9 to $49 overnight is a completely different move than $9 to $49 across a year of shipping we shipped a lot on Tweet Hunter in those 12 months and I could see the difference in who was signing up 6. do not change the price for old users because for an old user, leaving means losing a rate they can never get back strongest retention lever I know that's lock-in though, not fit. split your churn by old price and new price if you want to know which one you actually got 7. when "too expensive" shows up as the reason for cancellation, that's usually not about price it's the polite version of "I stopped seeing value" if your product adds value to your users at a justified price, they will rarely complain about price and if they do, either your product isn't delivering value or they aren't the right user 8. past a certain price you leave impulse territory and enter budget review the Outrank agency plan is at $1,499. at that price nobody forgets they're paying you it gets looked at every month, on purpose, as an active expense see, all of this is true, but none of it will work if your product doesn't deliver the value you promise a high price on a weak product will just get you a lot of refund requests, nothing else it has played out similarly across all of my SaaS: - Revid: acquired as Typeframes, one-off videos, ~30% churn. rebuilt it as a real subscription at a real price. $00k+/month today - Outrank: $99/month, premium instead of cheap. LTV up 33%, churn down ~20%. $120k mrr last August -> $300k+ today - SuperX: told people last September to lock in $29 before it moved. it's at $49 now so do this today: pull up your cheapest cohort and your most expensive cohort compare retention, engagement, support tickets and even user type you already know what you'll find

results so far 👀 not insane but not bad but I don't think it would work for anyone Outrank converts quite well and I think it's a good fit as it also sells traffic to business owners https://t.co/7LUwzTpok9

Part of me wants to do some crazy challenge like a game a week But I don’t know what that actually entails Right now it’s fun just turning ideas into playable things. It’s a great creative outlet with a the possibility of a great upside I think my strategy is to keep tinkering. Playing with ideas. And see what lands.

It’s the 👀 that make it this valuable The code, the idea… it’s all secondary https://t.co/YssvTdx1OS

The other thing I’ve realised lately: There’s a market for idle developers who are waiting between agent work now Next game will be focused on devs This one isn’t for devs. If you alt tab away your ship will get sunk and you’ll lose your captured flags Got a few ideas already

Got this running at 60fps on desktop and mobile (in the browser)! Sol transformed the graphics but left with me a web app running at 10 fps To optimise I… Generated medium and low poly versions of every asset. (Depending on your distance it will hot swap. Low models at far distances, high at close and medium for everything else) The sea reflection doubled the processing (it literally redraws the entire world but just upside down) Switched out the reflections to the low poly versions. And then it only updates every second frame. I tried running this every 4 seconds but it was just too noticeable Added fog. Fog is your best friend to hide the ugliness 😂 I had originally downloaded meshes and some of them were 30k tris. I asked fable to work with fal ai to get them all down to 2k. The palm tree was the biggest offender. It didn’t need to be as detailed for what the scene needs. And it gets duplicated *everywhere* causing massive slowdowns. And then I just had to go through all the visuals and fix them one by one. Getting everything to look right by sight. End result: I love it

What I've learned about vibe coding a game (so far): 1. AI is very good at building the initial prototype game engine. Here you can test how the game mechanics work, whether its' enjoyable and what needs to be tweaked. At this stage you have a PS1 era game. Horray. There's no point going any further with a game if it just isn't fun or is buggy at this stage. I think the key is to polish the actual gameplay here as much as possible before diving into the graphics. 2. It's much easier to just buy 3d game assets from places like TurboSquid than it is to get AI to generate the 3d meshes for you. Then you use the initial mesh as the base then use the fal ai mcp to make modifications to the 3d mesh and tweak textures. You don't need to learn any 3d modelling you can just talk to your agent using normal language ("make the hull longer") Now you have an Unreal engine 1 era game. Horray! 3. I'm still learning the next phase. But clearly the next big jump is refinement. And this is the part that goes way outside my skillset and understanding. So I'm experimenting: My current thinking is utilising very specific and concentrated sprints with gauntlet loops to improve one part of the game visuals at a time: ambience, lighting, etc. I've seen others do amazing things with this push.

Gauntlet loop round 2: lighting + ambience First image = current game screenshot Second image = mockup of what I want it to look like I've mocked up how I want the game to look. Took a scene from the game that shows the desired outcome. I used nano banana to mockup just ambience + lighting updates. Now I've directed sol to make it happen using the gauntlet loop. Perhaps my last loop was too ambitious. Which was what caused it to keep going off track. Perhaps the key is mini sprints. This case just update the lighting, ambience, water and sky. I intentionally didn't mention anything about performance. I don't want to waste loops on micro testing every change. Instead: I'll tackle performance in another gauntlet loop session (if this one even works) Going to bed. Let's see what it looks like in the morning

He’s out here again with the stall in public Last time it was a word game now it’s Pokédex for pets This is what dedication looks like. I need to take note

one of the biggest revelations i had recently was how powerful it becomes for individuals who are *currently* healthy. https://t.co/HZVGw1tLWg tracking your bloodwork, annual physical and various ailments becomes *incredibly* powerful as you get older and if you find yourself with a serious diagnosis. you end up with *years* of health data that you can immediately give access to loved ones and caregivers with the full power of AI to help them help you.

https://t.co/ppStXUoiXY is one of the most powerful + impactful products i've ever built. using it for mom's cancer journey, my kids' healthcare & our own individual healthcare. it's just so useful for all stages of life/health. i feel much more like a steward than a developer

my brain: "what's a joink lover? sounds nasty." https://t.co/Nuc4FOYB18

if you send calendar invite spam i hope you get debilitating brain freeze every hour on the hour for the rest of your days.

another day. another https://t.co/Q9XJssQEjn use in the wild. i quite literally would like to eat this it's so good.

i love that @jonathan_wilke has made nearly $100k on https://t.co/NswjJpiDBq in less than 48 hours. you can be mad about it, try to copy it, say it's dumb or that it won't last. none of it matters. jonathan caught lightning in a bottle on a whim. the internet is amazing. https://t.co/Xw48mxaWwP

https://t.co/Q9XJssQEjn to the rescue!

I knew this list would be long but…

This has got to be an absolutely soul crushing job.

agreed that there's far too much emphasis on a "launch event". the value is in showing up every day.

anybody know why @XDevelopers only allows blocking via API on enterprise plans? feels...arbitrary. https://t.co/j3nMTrAyXg

i'm a sucker for custom cases like this! love it!

feature request for @diabrowser: app profiles. i don't necessarily want to setup entirely separate browser profiles, but there are a couple of apps that i have multiple accounts. would love for a quick switch just for that app/domain.

New skill for Initial Commit Club members: Clarity Audit https://t.co/0KJzaHtLhO You know what every button does because you built it, and none of that made it into the interface. This finds where a new user has to guess and proposes the smallest wording fix to bring clarity.

building desktop apps feels like a whole new unlock never knew it was this "simple" to setup

gotta love scratching your own itch https://t.co/DBahRkCnfx

No shade to Marcos, but seeing a lot of comments like this. With AI now being able to create anything you want, I highly recommend anyone to try building software to solve their own itches. Everyone has their own specific needs and wants and building a tool that works exactly like you want + being able to add any feature in minutes is a magical liberating feeling.

added tons of stuff to my MMO this week; cooking, eating, farming my favorite is definitely the day/night cycle adds a little extra cozy + scariness to the game https://t.co/NRRXcz0yQI

Got tired of switching tabs, so I built my own agent workbench. https://t.co/ShQQGSG3zL

If there's one thing I really love about AI coding, it's that it makes it possible to build hilariously meta projects like this one (and every single bidding website out there) in minutes. You can just do things, no matter how bonkers and useless they are :D

Bidding websites are novelty projects on the surface. The underlying mechanism is one of raw attention, both on the website itself and in the meta-conversation around it. If you still believe advertising doesn't work, then you're missing the biggest learning from Outbid. https://t.co/Rgur9JB7lk

The main lesson founders should take away from this is that the confluence of having built an audience for many years and daring to launch new ideas in public tills the soil for events like this. Maybe ask Jonathan how many failed products he has built before today.

From GitHub's outage post-mortem. "Tell your agents not to commit too often" will be the new "turn off your lights when you leave the room." Honestly, though: this is a terrifying traffic growth pattern when you're already the biggest player. Explains a lot. Thanks, AI! https://t.co/QKhqAmuPlb

Watch your agents... https://t.co/b0rXFF0rFM

The crazy part is that, despite how far models have come, I still think I’d win handily against Lovable or any other model for that matter. AI has excelled at things like product design and image gen, yet landing page design is still as terrible as it’s always been.

Some stills from a recent brand project. https://t.co/sQDWipOUWv

DEMO 2 IS READY!!! Pls help test play here: https://t.co/ADAmW36J1P New items, boss, jetpack, and (no spoiler) a surprise at wave 10 😉😉😉 https://t.co/Lcy7fDmSg7

Web game is amazing you can just open a URL and play! No sign-up, no account, no download. But still, I will try to push my game to Steam 😂

ok Claude is in trouble vibe coding is fun until you see damage number shows up as "NaNK" 🤣 Should have asked Claude to use TypeScript https://t.co/V66InKBma0

do we need https://t.co/OB4osXuzBu for git commits?

big new market for indie makers? or will everybody vibe code their own apps?

this what you get for not using a token efficient language like Ruby

so who's going to revive "Stolen!" ? the game where you could buy/sell people on Twitter https://t.co/VMz7nnC8lI! https://t.co/MKqIRmnbBN

X feed seems super personalized now whatever you interact with, your feed will be full of it instantly this might explain why some things more easily go viral now. at first it just SEEMS viral even though it's not, but once something seems viral it will quickly BECOME viral

oh shit look what arrived in the mail today https://t.co/WsSm85Q2GA

maybe its time to relaunch https://t.co/K00i5XqyPA

worth a shot https://t.co/Og7jwLRimD

missed out generational wealth by not launching "outbid the first place" product directory i am the ceo of permanent middle class

lower your prices

making my apps freemium because i got bullied with 1-star reviews from broke users

ActivationPal 2.0 https://t.co/yR10ScmiYT

my run-on sentence background: so I grew to 6'8" in 8th grade & was somewhat nimble cause of my soccer days so bball folks liked me so I started playing more 🏀 then got ranked top 300 in usa so recruiters went 🍌 and darn near every 🏫 recruited me but their intentions seemed disingenuous and hollow that I checked-out after senior yr then began wandering & sleeping on couches in ski season ⛷️ and worked retail in nyc 🍎 then got job in film industry but they laid me off so I moved to la 🏄 & worked at paramount pictures but got homesick then worked at brothers small carpet biz & liked it - who knew Id like small business - then jumped to advertising agency & they laid me off then got exposed to this thing called the "internet" in '98 & joined a startup and my world changed and then they laid me off and this fukkin layoff thing began to grate on me and I realized I had to save myself so I learned how to code and code lead me to websites and websites lead me to domain names and then I bought one in the adventure travel segment that made enough $ and allowed me to quit my 9-5 and then I accidentally bought another and began shipping onions and then I adopted another and began filling ranch jobs and now I'm here typing this tweet.

I get this reaction often when people realize how much a no brainer offer https://t.co/jtY7l0WfVN actually is 🔥

Ok I got carried away frankly throwing money at this, there is going to be zero ROI on this placement, but fortunately I didn't get nearly as carried away as other people here 😂 Kudos @jonathan_wilke for making the top gamble bait site of the year and cashing in! Nicely done 🔥

Whenever I post about self-hosting GitHub (Forgejo), half of comments are laughing saying it's unnecessary. And every day I'm reminded how great of a decision this was. https://t.co/qlli2mjqEH

Cool way to use @grok in public.

"Create a random image inspired by my X account" Not bad, @grok. Not bad. https://t.co/YnHXYUfk2V

First sales for Zero To Paid 🎉 https://t.co/cTxLEo1Yiz https://t.co/wm8FuyITix

I built my apps to 22k users and $1m+ in revenue. I'm putting everything I learned about getting paying customers into a short, practical course. Pre-orders open now for $99 Full price will be $199 (save 50% today) Grab it now → https://t.co/b9g1KxRK7Z

Shipping lots of bets to see what works is super fun. But it doesn't work. It's like walking into a casino. Lots of fun, but you have a low chance of winning. None of my successful products came randomly from throwing spaghetti at the wall. They always started with: A customer with a problem. Stop guessing, start talking to customers. You'll 10x your chances of success.

If you are building something before you talk to customers your only results will be pain and suffering.

Are you here for entrepreneurship or entertainment? Because one pays your bills and the other just gets you likes.

Always PRE-SELL. If you can not pre-sell it, you can't sell it later. I pre-sold Alertly with a 30% lifetime discount for those that paid the first month subscription upfront. 7 people paid in a week. Why? Because they want the product and I made them an offer they'd feel stupid saying no to. I talked to all 7 of those people in depth to learn what problem they want to solve and shaped the first version of the product around that. I did the same with my course → $25k pre-sales in the first month. The people in the comments saying it'll never work, just don't know how to sell.

DO NOT USE FAKE TESTIMONIALS > Real buyers see straight through it. > You can get in serious legal trouble. If you have no customers yet just leave this section off your website. You're not going to magically establish trust through fraudulent advertising vs just being honest.

Getting new signups is easy when you get a daily email with people actively looking for your product. I first built Alertly to solve this problem for myself. https://t.co/pS6QAU1E4x

If you have 0 customers you don't need: > an audience > SEO > a viral launch video > paid ads > content marketing > growth hacks You need to find 10 people who have the problem and show them what you built. DM them. Email them. Message them on LinkedIn. Just start talking.

I took a few days of and just saw @jonathan_wilke outbid journey 🤯 what the actual ****!!!!! Crazy, super smart idea, simple execution, well deserved 👏🏻 But Jonathan, I hate you... I already have many clone ideas 😭

To stay in this game long enough to make it, you need to blow out some steam from time to time, to disconnect, to be happy cycling is amazing for that so if you want to succeed, please go cycling every day

just found this software and installed it on my windows xp machine anyone tried it yet? https://t.co/tXHmiGPKpl

Did you go from the city to the countryside, or the other way around? If yes, how did it go? Do you regret it?

The first emails went out this morning 🙌 Looking forward to a whole season of email digests and football stats. Will add more leagues (just a flip of a switch on my end). Bundesliiga? La Liga? FA Cup? https://t.co/La8aH7X7Sl https://t.co/z5IAsXknyX

I'm sorry, maybe I'm old, but half-time interviews with players in the tunnel is wild

16 subscribers. Growing this to thousands https://t.co/La8aH7X7Sl https://t.co/2YxFrmgxOp

I went to visit the offices of @UpCloud, where I host @CodeletBilling, just down the road in Helsinki. It’s a beautiful space. And of course it has an in-office sauna 😄 Thank you to @tomikokkola for the invite, brilliant chat and a delicious lunch! https://t.co/O9izyQCZuC

The Premier League starts today! ⚽️ My tiny newspaper-roundup-in-your-inbox is live on Product Hunt today! Would love for you to check it out. Support is welcome! This is a free product for football fans ❤️ https://t.co/6NZ43vw87i

"Tell me about https://t.co/dThAPajGLt" in Grok. Worked for 6 seconds. Summarised the whole platform. This is why you should spend time on your marketing site. An LLM should be able to create this clearly and quickly. Write the content that an LLM should repurpose. https://t.co/NFgYMX0mAx
