When researching positions for local candidates for things like "position 2, soil and water conservation" I kept getting this stick vacuum ad. Not even really DCO?

My @Muse is insistent that it cannot type my email address into a webform. My experience with tool specifically is so different from what I see all over X. How can it manage subscriptions or much of anything for me without this? Or what am I doing wrong?

Glad to see my toilet tank detail correctly logged under “home and family”

you just reminded me of the Dreamforce chapter of the Dan Lyons book Disrupted

launch got my attention but initial interaction has me skeptical of the product. Seems like "one place to manage my subscriptions" would be a good use case for these things, right?

Update, still a lot of cake left!

could be worse imo (stubborn Claude refused to answer)

I would still love to see a photo of the special banner and startup experience. All of the videos I've seen appear to come after the click. This person on reddit seemed to feel duped.

I much prefer the Marketecture "decode a press release" segment you guys used to do over reading them myself, but ok! Nestled in the 1,000 words it's looks like it's a click to play banner. So presumably if you don't click the special banner you can just drive your car?

I wonder if we'll be able to see this revenue breakout in quarterly earnings. Hopefully the nose-hair ads are a nice revenue boost

vibe-coding apps is great and all but I'm doing the hard work of convincing GPT to let me eat food left at unsafe temps overnight in my "fridge door ajar" chat

Getting programmatic display ads on X - this seems new! Below "who to follow" I've seen fill from Google Ads and Taboola. No ad-servers showing up in Sincera

Keep your Sunday mornings free I guess? Good thing is every time I see this story I'm reminded of Succession which brings me great joy

I can't believe @aripap hasn't posted about this. The FTC has fined Cox Media Group over the whole "we're listening" debacle. Not for listening to people's phones (they weren't) but for mis-representing the capability to advertisers!

GPT has been running basically a "house ad" pushing Codex, so I asked it a question: "how does Codex compare to Claude Cowork for non-technical users?" Not final ad experience for OpenAI, but shows it's possible to provide an unbiased answer alongside a sponsored CTA
