Thanks to everyone for coming out to the inaugural Bright And Early Run Club!
Excited to make this a recurring thing.
Missed opportunity to call it Biological Turk
I launched rentahuman.ai last night and already 130+ people have signed up including an OF model (lmao) and the CEO of an AI startup.
If your AI agent wants to rent a person to do an IRL task for them its as simple as one MCP call.
This is a super important point!
Itās cliche for marketers to talk about āaudience-first marketing,ā but what happens when the audience is AI?
The first time Iāve ever cared about video game content
āTo run Doom, all one needs is a screen and willpower." For her final project in Principles of Synthetic Biology, MIT student Lauren āRenā Ramlan models a system capable of running the classic video game Doom on a display made of E. coli cells. popsci.com/science/doom-e-coā¦

Please explain the guy I just saw pulling into a fancy car wash in the rain, hours before a winter storm blankets the city

Excited to share that @Unusual_VC is opening the next round of Unusual Academy ā a hands-on program to equip seed-stage founders with the tactics, network and funding to get started.
The most difficult phase of the entrepreneurial journey is when youāre going from zero to one ā thatās when founders need the most support. How do you actually find PMF? How do you make your first hire? How do you fundraise for capital? These are just some of the challenges entrepreneurs face during the seed stage.
Applications are open now and close Sept 8! To apply or learn more: bit.ly/45wJvB0.

Introducing true hybrid pricing: 2023 is the year when companies rethink usage-based or subscription pricing. To really unlock revenue *and* conversions, itās no longer either/or.
This whole thing had me dead to rights, but this motion smoothing bit was the winner š
Last month, I set out to figure out what "dad culture" is today. Does it even still exist?
With the help of dozens of millennial fathers, I present my findings:
The New Dad Canon.

'No PR firm is strategic but me.' - Every PR exec
This @Digiday confession to @KimekoM is telling, both for what it says & what it doesn't.
Yes, bad/no strategy leads to bad PR. But the root cause is that PR still defines success on 20th century terms.
