Everyone talks about how many hours of sleep they got.
No one talks about how consistent their sleep schedule is.
But @WHOOP prioritises the latter more for longevity.
Au revoir, Paris
Maybe it's all in my head. Maybe it's the algorithms I've been exposed to.
But I feel the undercurrent of frustration, resentment, and anger building.
This isn't an American thing. This is a global thing. The K-shaped economy is real. The rich are getting richer.
The poor are losing more hope, resorting to gambling and debt just to keep up or try to "make it".
AI is not going to save them.
The world has never moved this quickly before; that's why it's so hard for most people to adapt.
If you're not in the right place at the right time, then it's x10 harder than it was for your parents' generation.
It's only a matter of time before the social unrest bubbles to the surface and riots and anarchy break out.
There's only so much the average person is willing to put up with, seeing the lifestyles of the other side on Instagram, without kicking off.
And why wouldn't they? If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose anyway. May as well cause chaos.
The only question is, which Western country will be first?
Goated.

Uber driver this morning: mid-50s, former middle-management tech exec. laid off from Intuit five years ago.
Thousands of resumes later, he quit trying because it’s pointless when they can hire an H-1B for a fraction of the cost. Also ended up divorced after four kids & 25-year marriage. Not sure the DC types fully understand the simmering anger out there.
One more update still to make, @Ledger
Update from Ledger Donjon on the CryptoBilis investigation 🔽
@DonjonLedger is investigating Ledger signers sold by CryptoBilis, a reseller in Southeast Asia, that contained an unauthorized hardware implant. Ledger confirmed this on October 10th for one affected user's signer. All confirmed fund losses tied to the incident disclosed on October 9th involve signers sold through CryptoBilis. We have not verified a drain linked to a signer bought elsewhere. CryptoBilis has confirmed it stopped selling Ledger signers while the investigation continues.
Based on the Donjon's analysis of the attack, the implant sits inside the enclosure and reads the data shown on the screen. During setup, the signer displays the 24-word recovery phrase. When the implant detects these screens, its microcontroller decodes the words and transmits them over LTE using a provisioned eSIM. The implant is a separate component. It does not modify the Secure Element or the Ledger operating system, and it does not alter transactions or signatures.
The Donjon will analyze the signers it receives and will share more as the investigation continues.
We have not confirmed the total number of affected users or the total value lost. Figures circulating online come from third parties and Ledger has not fully verified them. If your funds were drained and you have not contacted us, please do so through Ledger Support so we can include your case. We are also reviewing reports of implants in other signers and locations. We will continue to share information as the investigation progresses. Rest assured the Ledger team is going above and beyond to leave no stone unturned to investigate this situation to the strongest possible outcome.
If you bought a Ledger signer from CryptoBilis and have not set it up, do not set it up and contact Ledger Support. If you have set it up, transfer your assets promptly to a new signer with a new recovery phrase. Do not enter or restore any recovery phrase on a signer bought from CryptoBilis. Never enter your recovery phrase into a website, app or form.
If you lost funds or hold a tampered signer, contact Ledger Support at support.ledger.com and file a report with local law enforcement. Do not send the signer to anyone before speaking with Ledger Support or local law enforcement. If you lost funds, coordinate with law enforcement before opening the signer. Researchers and others with relevant information can write to [email protected].
If you did not buy from CryptoBilis and want to inspect the inside of your signer, the guide is at support.ledger.com/article/4…. Use caution and make sure your recovery phrase is backed up first, because opening a signer can damage it.
Ledger will never call you, message you directly, or ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. We will update this post when we verify new information.

Information arbitrage is the opportunity.
Use X to learn about the latest in AI tools.
Use the AI tools to create products for non-technical people and/or legacy industries.
I've also been guilty of trying to sell to people on X.
Selling to technical people is the worst; they know what's possible with AI now.
Sell to the least technical people you can find, who have the money to spend.
I've spent the weekend building something for an audience I know nothing about.
But with Hermes Agent, I can understand everything they're struggling with.
How they speak, what they already spend money on, and what they'd like that they're not currently getting.
Should be releasing v1 this week and running some ads to validate demand.
Will share the results as soon as I get them.
I think the future of indiehacking is barbell shaped.
On the right, build AI things for AI people. It will get cloned to shit. Some will work, many will not. Fastest execution plus distribution wins. Be prepared to make tons of money one month and nothing the next.
On the left, build boring things that nobody wants to clone, that will take years to gain enough market share. Slow burn. CRM for Chihuahua owners. Newsletter tool for bakeries. Hyper niche.
Everything in the middle is a dead zone now.
