The Daily Loop #75

3 quotes, 2 short form tweets, 1 long form read and 1 piece of advice from me. Consume 2 minutes of information to help you advance your knowledge in different fields.

The Daily Loop newsletter focuses on information that can be consumed in 2 minutes every day by linking to posts across the internet, formatted in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. In a 3-2-1-1 design (quotes, short-form content, long-form content and advice).

The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

These things always get resolved for people w/ large followings, tech friends, etc, but every tweet like this about Airbnb, Uber, eBay, PayPal, etc is a reminder how easy it is to be pretty arbitrarily banned from major consumer services in a way that didn’t happen pre-internet https://t.co/EJrd8ph6f0

What the fuck @airbnb I am one of your earliest customers and I have no idea why my account is suspended https://t.co/kNXRLS0vPA

It’s pretty scary to imagine how many people on a daily basis are locked out of big companies. I’ve certainly had this experience before and it is painful.

Many of you were actually "smarter" in middle school than you are today. Think about all the random things you figured out, and possibly even mastered. Jailbreaking devices. Editing montages you'd make with your friends. Customizing your Myspace profile, literally learning… https://t.co/dK5GMRwkDF

This is a problem with our current society. We encourage people to be middle curve. “Overthink”. “Stop trying and failing”.

If I had to give advice to any youngsters on this journey, it would be: DON’T OVERTHINK THINGS!

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible. I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to. Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business? Follow along 👀

This is a funny thread, it blew up because it’s viral. But it is an interesting thought experiment. I may try it out with roughly $10K, set a time limit and then show my results.

1 piece of advice from me

Attention is the most valuable currency (article on this tomorrow).

Loopify 🧙‍♂️ @Loopifyyy

Balaji's bet is to acquire attention in exchange for the millions of dollars He "financially loses" either way even if Bitcoin goes to $1M in 90 days Attention is the most valuable currency, this is just a very public version of fighting for it (and it's working)
