A square promotional graphic for “Go-To Market in the AI Era.” The background blends deep blue with glowing orange and purple gradients. On the left, large white text reads “Chris Messina,” followed by “General Partner @ Ride Home Fund.” On the right is a portrait of Chris Messina, wearing glasses, a black leather jacket, and a patterned shirt. A rounded banner across the bottom displays the logos and names of CatalystBay, Brex, ascalex, and ontop.

The story of how @unileverusa destroyed @talenti in one image. From @annemarieconte at @wirecutter. www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/…
The image displays a collection of ice cream flavors from Talenti, featuring four different variants of vanilla bean. Each flavor is presented with its name at the top, followed by a list of ingredients and a "best by" date. The flavors include Tahitian Vanilla Bean, Vanilla Bean, Madagascan Vanilla Bean, and another Madagascan Vanilla Bean variant. The ingredients for each flavor are detailed, highlighting common components such as milk, sugar, cream, and various vanilla extracts. The background of the image features a creamy ice cream texture, enhancing the visual appeal of the flavors.

The image features a bold text design against a deep red background. The phrase "Your wife is calling," appears multiple times, with the top and bottom instances in a lighter font, while the central text highlights "extremely cool harmonica/guitar/drum" in a striking white font. The overall layout emphasizes the contrast between the repeated phrase and the central declaration, creating a visually engaging effect.

X Money apparently is rolling out. Taking a page out of PayPal's playbook. This is telling: campaignId=xmoney-early-access-07-24-2026-wave-4 […] [Original post on threads.com]
The image displays a promotional pop-up for a financial service called "X Money." The message emphasizes the urgency of not missing out on exclusive access, highlighting benefits such as a 6% annual percentage yield (APY) on account balances and a 3% cashback offer with an associated metal card. There are two buttons at the bottom: one to claim a $25 incentive and another to decline the offer. The background is dark with a subtle design, creating a contrast that makes the text and buttons stand out.

The image features an illustrated character with green skin and curly hair, wearing glasses and a gray cardigan. The character appears to be thoughtfully adjusting their glasses while looking at the viewer. Above them is a speech bubble that quotes the CEO of Anthropic, stating, "A dangerous path." Below the character, text promotes a campaign for free, open-source, local AI, inviting viewers to support it on Product Hunt. The bottom of the image includes the Product Hunt logo, emphasizing the call to action for community support. The background is a soft, light color, creating a friendly and engaging atmosphere.

Look what I found in trumpaccount.com/robots.txt For some reason I think @crumbler will appreciate this. trumpaccount.com/robots #Trump Account
The image displays a playful ASCII art representation of a robot with large eyes and a speech bubble containing the phrase "Exterminate all humans.txt." Below the robot, there are additional ASCII characters forming its body and arms. Additionally, the image includes a section labeled "User-agent: *" which outlines directives for web crawlers. The directives specify paths that are allowed and disallowed for crawling, such as allowing access to "/applinks.well-known/" while disallowing access to various paths like "/home/", "/account/", and others. A link to the sitemap is also provided at the end.

Can hardly believe OpenAI just up and replaced the ChatGPT app with Codex. That's a lot of people's cheese to move at once! 🧀
The image shows a close-up of a smartphone screen featuring three application icons in a dock. The first icon on the left appears to represent a spark or burst symbol, possibly indicating a creative or productivity app. The second icon is a blue cloud with a terminal or command line symbol, likely representing a coding or development tool. The third icon is also a blue cloud but includes a question mark, suggesting it may be an app related to assistance or inquiry, such as a chatbot or help tool. Above the icons, there is a label that reads "ChatGPT."

The image depicts a protest scene outside a building. A man stands in the foreground, holding a cardboard sign that reads, "MY AI PSYCHOSIS RECOGNIZES THE AI PSYCHO IN YOU." He has short, styled hair, glasses, and is wearing a black t-shirt with the same phrase prominently displayed. He has a cigarette in his mouth and appears to be addressing a crowd. In the background, two men in suits are visible, one of whom has a serious expression. Several photographers are capturing the moment, and there are police officers visible in the background. The setting suggests a significant event related to artificial intelligence, likely drawing attention from both the media and the public.
