Erikk Shupp @shupp.dev · 20/07/2026Into the void #1: my take originally 2022 that Sam Altman was doomed to be Tom from MySpace. Now part of me sinxe 2025 thinks he more of a Adam Neumann figure. 000

Erikk Shupp @shupp.dev · 04/01/2026Idea: we build tools that reduce screen time and EMPLOY people to call you as a service. For example if you need to file a report as a PM onsite, system creates call list for person to then do some real life CX and help less technical people blue collar jobs do what they need to do. 000
