I'd pay money for: an LLM benchmarking suite that penalizes flattery and yes-manning 😑

Bonus points if it (correctly) tells me I'm wrong!
Such a beautiful time of year here in CO 🌞

Legitimately look forward to taking my Warpcast earnings and distributing them right back out every week!

I get Peacock through Instacart+, Paramount+ through Walmart+, Grubhub+ through Amazon Prime, and DoorDash DashPass through Chase.

how tf does any of this make sense?! They're counting on the fact that it's too hard to keep track of and it'll go unused 😑

re content coins, let's start with a belief: content has value, and it ought to flow back to the creator in-kind.

As for "the how": the design space is vast, and it's not zero-sum.

While I personally believe there are better options, it's also worth celebrating the experimentation!

This is the frontier 🍻
