  @PrimeTopNews The Legendary Story: Tom Hanks is sitting at a diner in North Dakota having a beer. A few tables over, some kid is face-down, completely passed out. Hanks walks over to check if he’s okay, sees the guy’s phone sitting on the table, and can’t resist. He has the bartender snap a few photos of himself with the unconscious stranger — one where he’s looking concerned, one where he’s pointing and laughing like he just found treasure — then slips the phone back into the kid’s pocket and leaves. The next morning the guy wakes up, scrolls his camera roll, and finds Tom Hanks photobombing his hangover.  That’s the story that spread on Facebook, Imgur, and Reddit with captions like “Can you imagine finding these on your phone after a drunken night out?” What actually happened A fan ran into Hanks at a diner in West Fargo (Hanks’ niece worked there). The fan’s thing was posing with celebrities while pretending to be wasted. He asked Hanks if they could do it. Hanks said yes, handed over his glasses, and played along while a friend took the pictures. The original Reddit title was literally: “My friend met Tom Hanks, stole his glasses and pretended to be wasted.”  Hanks’ favorite version When a reporter asked him about it in 2013, Hanks gave both stories and then said he preferred the legend: “Well now, that second version is that I did just start taking pictures with a passed-out guy. I’m happy with this version, that it’s become somewhat of a legend. I wouldn’t want anyone not to believe that I am capable of turning up on their phones.” So the photos are real, Hanks really posed with a guy who looks dead-drunk at a diner, and he really used the guy’s phone. He just didn’t do it to a random unconscious stranger. The internet decided the better story was the one where Forrest Gump finds you passed out and photobombs your phone, and Hanks was happy to let that one live. @grok

  WSJ says Gemini 3.8 Flash, internally called Skimaki, could release as soon as today. Google engineers using it inside Jetski reportedly preferred it to Anthropic's Opus in head-to-head coding work. That's an internal opinion, not an independent benchmark, but WSJ reporting it from employees is a pretty substantial upgrade from the X cottage industry leak-account chatter we've had all week. Reddit actually adds an interesting piece to this. People already using 3.7 Flash keep coming back to the same thing: not that it is magically smarter than everything else, but that it is so damn fast. I agree. One developer described building several semi-complex web apps and said watching it work was a “hoot” because of the speed. Another heavy Claude/ChatGPT user said moving to 3.7 gave him “whiplash” because of how quickly it could iterate through coding work. A model that's 95% as good but can take three swings while the expensive model takes one may actually be the better coding model. There are also Reddit posts this morning claiming Gemini is identifying itself as 3.8 Flash even though the model selector still says 3.7. I would ignore those completely as proof. Asking an LLM what model it is remains the AI equivalent of asking a golden retriever who manufactured the dog food. Google's public pages still haven't given us a gemini-3.8-flash endpoint as I write this, so we're not across the finish line yet. But if 3.8 lands and independently backs up the WSJ coding claims, I think the story is pretty simple: Google may be turning latency from a product feature into an intelligence advantage. In agentic coding, the fastest good model gets to make more mistakes. And more importantly, it gets to fix them before the other guy finishes thinking.

  @varuninvesting $RDDT - AI becomes a “black hole” for attention, all advertisers flock to ChatGPT and Anthropic which have 2-3B daily users. Dead internet theory becomes reality. So worst case scenario, it’s not just Reddit that’s in trouble but also meta, Snapchat, Pinterest, Google, etc … Much easier to bet on something NOT being a 0 than it is being priced for perfection.

  @ariaradnia The problem is sustainability, I don't think this is sustainable. I believe US DAUs decreased last quarter. Reddit is turning into AI slop machine, and that makes it less relevant for LLMs as a data source. I don't buy it that there is another huge contract coming their way. I don't like their product as a user.

  RedditMaster Karma Mode actually wasn’t something I originally planned to build. But after talking to RedditMaster users, I kept hearing the same problem: new Reddit accounts often can’t post where they want, and it gets frustrating fast. A lot of people end up buying accounts, but purchased accounts can be risky and get banned easily. The other option is using an agency’s accounts, but then all the traffic goes to accounts you don’t own, and the quality can be inconsistent. So the safest long-term approach is still to grow your own account organically. That’s what RedditMaster’s Karma Mode is built for. Our users typically reach around 1,000 karma in about 90 days. I am really proud about what we achieved.

  @mircea_sandu @Shpigford @1Password Which sites is this happening on for you? We're currently tweaking sites for sites that have a lot of 3rd-party sign in buttons present across pages like X and reddit. Wondering your issue is on one of those.

  If I had to get my first 100 customers from scratch, here’s exactly what I’d do: 1. Cold emails Send 20 highly targeted emails. Lead with a specific outcome, not your product. No replies? Change the email and try again. Keep iterating until you get responses. 2. Social media DMs Find prospects on LinkedIn, X, IG, FB, Reddit, etc. Send a 15-second personalized Loom audit. Make the preview obviously about them. Give value before asking for anything. 3. Affiliate programs Find people who already have your target audience. Offer a commission worth promoting. Make joining and sharing effortless. Tools like @partnacdotcom let you launch and manage the whole program in one place. 4. Partnerships Find complementary businesses serving your ICP. Create a simple referral deal. Give them a reason to send customers your way. Start with 10 good partners, not 1,000 random ones. 5. Communities Find where your ICP already hangs out. Answer questions and solve problems. Don’t drop links everywhere. Become the person people remember when they need the solution.

  fable 5.1 is insanely CRACKED at finding winning google ads angles to scale your brand past $1m/mo research capacities literally DOUBLED so here's every prompt you'll need to reverse-engineer competitors' funnels and rip some banger gads: (actually run them all rn, don't just bookmark) 1. load the brain before you ask it anything the research is only as sharp as the context. upload: - pdps - reviews - website - funnel pages - competitors - report CSVs - brand docs - ICP info - winners - losers literally everything then run this: "act as the angle research lead for this brand. read everything uploaded and build a working profile: ICP segments ranked by revenue, the pain points in the customer's own words, the objections ordered by how often they appear, the proof we already own, and the beliefs a buyer must hold before purchasing. do not propose angles yet. summarise what you found, then tell me what context is MISSING" that last instruction is the whole game. prompt engineering is cope just have claude tell you what he needs from you and give it to him. anybody who disagrees just loves to overcomplicate things. 2. mine untapped databases that semrush misses prompt: "search reddit threads, quora answers, amazon reviews and Q&A sections, youtube comments on competitor and category videos, tiktok comments, trustpilot, and niche forums for people discussing [PROBLEM CATEGORY]. extract VERBATIM language, never paraphrase. for each goldmine you find, give me this: the quote, the pain underneath it, what they already tried, why it failed them, the outcome they want, and the emotional state behind it" paraphrasing is how angles end up sounding like ai slop. the whole value is in knowing your ICP's EXACT words and repeating them on ads. 3. reverse engineer every competitor funnel end to end "research [COMPETITOR 1, 2, 3]. use google ads transparency center, meta ad library, their landing pages, checkout flow and email capture. for each: every live ad and where it routes, the landing page TYPE, the hero promise, the mechanism they claim, the proof they lead with, the objections handled and in what order, the offer and guarantee, and what they are NOT saying" then: "for each competitor page, tell me which awareness level it was built for. then identify which of their traffic is landing on the wrong page type" this is how you find gaps in your competitors strategies that you can capitalize on 4. diagnose market sophistication BEFORE choosing an angle this is the step 9 out of 10 brands skip and it decides whether your angle has any chance: "assess the market sophistication level for [CATEGORY] using schwartz's 5 stages. analyse competitor ads and landing pages as evidence. stage 1 means nobody has made the claim yet. stage 2 means claims are escalating. stage 3 means mechanism differentiation has started. stage 4 means mechanisms are competing. stage 5 means the market is exhausted and identification wins. tell me which stage we're in, the evidence, and what type of angle still works at this stage" if your category is at stage 4, a bigger promise does nothing. every competitor already made one. if you're operating in stage 5, the mechanism is exhausted too, and the strategy has to shift again your ad is only good if it resonates with the market it operates in 5. score every angle against awareness and funnel stage "from the research, generate 15 google ad angles for my brand. for each: the awareness level it serves, the funnel stage it belongs in, the sophistication stage it's valid at, whether it's validated by competitors or white space, the proof required to run it, and the funnel type it should be tested through. rank by expected impact and flag any we lack proof to support" an angle without proof is a claim. claude will rank those last 6. map the keywords to the angles, not the products "build the keyword universe for [BRAND] using the customer language and competitor research. split into branded, competitor, problem-aware symptom queries, solution-aware category queries, comparison, use-case, and occasion. tag each with awareness level, the angle it pairs with, the funnel type it routes to, and the campaign that should own it" this will make everything nice and organized 7. turn the research into the campaign plan "turn everything above into a 30-day google ads launch plan for this specific brand, its AOV, margin structure and market sophistication stage. for each campaign, give me: the angle it carries, the keyword cluster, the landing page type, the creative direction, and the signal that decides whether it scales, holds, or gets cut. separate must-launch from phase 2 tests" then: "tell me which 3 angles to test first and why, given our sophistication stage and the proof we currently own" and that's literally it your competitors are testing angles with fat budgets while you analyze it all, learn from their mistakes, and (ethically) rip their winners with a unique twist and if you want me to audit your brand's google ads angles using this system and show you how we'd capitalize on the winning ones... DM me "OPP"

  @Ochadoji999 The process of online fragmentation is a long-standing problem. We used to have Usenet as the big conversational space and individual IRC channels on some of the larger servers as the ephemeral chat places, and it worked pretty well. Quite frankly, you can run an IRC server on a potato. They can talk to one another in a sort of federated mesh if you want. We had that technology figured out and nailed down. But then came the introduction of walled garden solutions. At least AIM and ICQ used open protocols so other people could make clients that interfaced with them, and you could still talk to your friends using them no matter what client you used. Then came Facebook and Myspace and the wave of early "social media" platforms, which slowly and surely began choking off access to general cross-system information. Reddit, for quite a long time, was a very big anomaly because as long as you spoke its API, it didn't care. Which is why so much of Reddit data made it into training information for various systems. Then Discord servers became very much the norm, which combined even more fragmentary, isolated groups into their own server silo, but within the same platform ecosystem. It was and remains great technology, but the way that it has affected the culture of online communities is somewhat of a problem in my view. It creates a feeling for and desire for insularity. Plus, it focuses on ephemeral conversation rather than long-term stored communication like you find on forums and Usenet and various other places where people have more nuanced conversations. If you think all your ideas deserve to have the lifespan of a mayfly, then I guess it's great, but I don't like it very much. In fairness, there never was a VTuber community. That's the wrong word to use for it. There was a "people who did VTubing and the people who were into watching VTubing." Those people didn't necessarily have many things in common, and they still don't. It is an identity group and not a community. Which sums up so much of what's wrong with it as a whole.
