The hardest part of blogging is distribution - how do you get in front of new people?
Traditional advice is "do distribution yourself", so you have to find places to share your blogpost. It can work really well, but it's time-consuming and most writers hate doing it.
Happy to test a new potential channel 👀
A new campaign is up by @macbudkowski experimenting with a novel idea - Can ProductClank help writers and creators get their content in front of the people who may find it useful?
This is a strong use case I'm excited about, cause with the emergence of creator & content coins, writers have the means to reward people

Watching Suits for the very first time and can't stop thinking that 95% of the Mike's genius research work could be done with LLMs.

Imagine having to fire 75% of engineers despite huge product growth.
Business models in the age of LLMs 🥲

needed a new id.
opened our e-citizen app, clicked 'apply for a new id' and it fetched my personal data from gov servers. it just asked me for a new photo (took it with my phone) and where do i want to pick it up when it's ready. i signed everything via my banking account.
everything took 3 minutes.
i love poland.

i generally agree with Rish but to steelman the other POV:
In 2005 Bill Gates had $77B in today's dollars. Elon has $342B and Zuck & Bezos have $200B+ each. and way more media power than Gates ever had via X, FB, IG & WaPo.
Wealth gap is not only about concentration of wealth, it's also about concentration of power.
reducing wealth gap is a broken concept
do we look at star systems and be like all stars should be within a certain size of one another?
income equality as a concept is lost, inequality will only increase. there is no closing the gap.
there will be people so much wealthier than you that it'll be incomprehensible. t
