I'm a Polish-German media investor & entrepreneur who thinks that EVERY COMPANY NEEDS A CONTENT STRATEGY (i.e. part of your company needs to be a mini media co). Nowadays, every company realizes they need to post content on social media. Content builds trust and positions you as authority. But making content is hard: It requires a social media team. Staying up to date on trends. And figuring out how to turn views into leads (& cashflow). I realized that after growing a network of social media channels to millions of monthly views and selling it to private equity. Today, my agency ChannelCraft helps business owners build authority & increase sales using content. We have helped hundreds of companies generate millions of sales through videos on YouTube, shorts on Instagram or posts on LinkedIn. Our specialty is building 'content engines' for companies that position you as the obvious expert in your niche, attract inbound leads who already trust you, and build long-term brand equity instead of short-term ad dependency. The ChannelCraft team handles strategy, scripting, editing, publishing, and optimization. We also build the sales funnels behind your content assets - making sure that every view you receive turns into a lead (& cashflow). Some proof, real numbers: → Jake Claver's first video with us hit 100K views in 24 hours. Conversions up 400-500% through YouTube and Shorts content. → A leading tax advisory & wealth management form: views +115%, conversions tripled in 30 days through YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn content. → A trader with zero audience closed a $5K client in month one. 190 subscribers on YouTube. Besides working with corporates, founders and business owners, we also partner with public institutions and national television networks, helping them reach audiences, customers, and future employees at a fraction of traditional media costs using YouTube and platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. I’m also the Managing Director of Deus Media Group, a buy-and-build network of business-focused media ventures. I have been featured by publications such as Fortune or Spiegel, guest lectured at institutions such as Fudan University and Shanghai University, and have been invited to serve as mentor to tech companies for multiple governments, such as Singapore (Enterprise Singapore programs) or Germany (GermanAccelerator programs). As a startup investor who lived in Shanghai for many years, I have helped 50+ technology companies penetrate the Chinese market. In the past, I have worked at top-tier companies in management consulting, venture incubation and as a founder across APAC and Europe. If you’re a business owner who wants content to become a predictable growth channel, send me a LinkedIn message and let’s talk💬

WAIT… PALWORLD ALSO HAS A DATING SIM COMING SOON?! (i kept going down the rabbit hole and this one sounds crazy but its real) Pal♡world! More Than Just Pals is a dating simulator that started as an April Fools joke in 2024. Pocketpair dropped a ridiculous trailer for a Palworld dating sim where you attend Palpagos Private Academy, build relationships with Pals and human characters, and depending on your choices, things can go from cute school romance to something much darker. A year later they came back with an actual Steam page, another trailer, new characters, and confirmed the game was really being developed. Then in 2026 they doubled down again with another special video and an expanded cast. (basically they kept the joke going long enough that eventually the joke became a real product, coming soon™️ lol) The actual game is a single player romance visual novel with choices and different relationship paths. You have characters like Katress, Lovander, Zoe, Chillet, Quivern, Saya, Tarantriss and Splatterina, each written around completely different dating sim archetypes. Lovander treats romance like hunting, Katress gets jealous, Splatterina is basically the obsessive yandere character, and Saya is the flirty school nurse. Pocketpair is also very deliberately mixing all of that with horror. The official Steam page straight up warns that the game contains horror elements, and even asks whether you’ll remain friends, fall in love, or dismantle and eat them. 😳 And before anyone thinks this is a “gooner” game, Pocketpair has already clarified that the real game is not supposed to be an explicit NSFW game. The original April Fools marketing joked about an adult version, but their publishing head later clarified that they’re not actually going that far. (what I’m more interested in is who this game is actually for lol) Palfarm makes sense if Pocketpair wants to reach the cozy gaming, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley crowd. More Than Just Pals goes in almost the complete opposite direction. Now they’re targeting visual novel fans, dating sim players, anime audiences, romance fans, horror fans, and the part of internet culture that was already making Lovander memes five minutes after Palworld released. (and judging by the comments i’ve been reading, pocketpair absolutely knows who they’re dealing with. half the reaction is “why does this exist” and the other half has apparently had this thing wishlisted since the steam page went live) This is the part I keep coming back to. You don’t necessarily need every Palworld player to want every Palworld product. You need different Palworld products that give different types of people their own entry point into the IP. And interestingly, Pocketpair itself says these spinoffs aren’t some calculated attempt to build a giant “media empire.” Bucky has said projects like Palfarm and the dating sim came largely because their huge community kept asking for different ways to interact with the characters. More Than Just Pals is also one of the projects Pocketpair is actually working on internally, unlike some of the licensed Palworld projects being handled by outside companies. (that’s also the strategy without them even calling it a strategy. listen to the community, find the weird little subcultures already forming around the ip, then give each of them something they actually want) I don’t think More Than Just Pals needs to become some massive game for this experiment to work. If a person who would never spend 100 hours grinding materials in Palworld suddenly cares about Katress, Lovander or Tarantriss because they played a visual novel, Pocketpair just expanded the audience for those characters without changing the original game at all. That’s what makes this interesting to me. Palfarm is testing how far Palworld can stretch across genres. More Than Just Pals might be testing how far it can stretch across demographics. (sounds absolutely ridiculous but it’s genius)

Consciousness, defined as the awareness of our existence and the hidden internal lens through which we view the world, has long been held up as a defining aspect of being human. But why do we have this power, and are we the only ones who do? Science writer Michael Pollan joined host William Brangham to explore the questions surrounding consciousness and how it relates to the human experience. Pollan called it a "miraculous fact" that humans have a private, internal space "where we can talk to ourselves" and "where we have complete mental freedom to think about whatever we want." But, he argued, that humans are "polluting" their consciousness through excessive phone-scrolling and social media use. He said humans are not making enough time for daydreaming and mind-wandering. As the use of chatbots rises, Pollan said he is worried that "things are going to get even more dangerous for consciousness." “Now they're even more sophisticated algorithms that are creating chatbots that are essentially telling you they're conscious and they're your friends," Pollan said. "This isn't real companionship. These are zero-friction relationships with machines." Pollan also discussed the idea of “consciousness hygiene” and ways to protect your internal awareness. “When you're standing in line at the cafe, don't take out your phone, look around, listen to the conversations,” Pollan said. “Or get out in nature or meditate. Meditation is a great way to put a fence around this experience.” Horizons from PBS News, dives into the science, health, technology and environmental issues making headlines each week.

Introducing Stanley: The first AI Head of Content that will help you grow your following. Stanley works just like a real employee: text him and he’ll create, edit, and strategize viral content across X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Making viral content is hard. It requires deep research, deep platform understanding, and knowing what’s culturally relevant at that exact minute. When you ask ChatGPT to “write a social post” it doesn’t know what good content looks like, it’s not actively consuming content, and it doesn’t understand you. This is why the output is slop. Stanley solves this. First Stanley deeply understands your unique voice and writing style (and doesn’t include AI language like em dashes and “it’s not x it’s y”) Then he plugs into your day-to-day (your Slack, Notion, Calendar, Granola) and proactively suggests viral posts for you based off the most interesting things happening in your life. All you need to do is voice note him your thoughts, and Stanley optimizes and then schedules a post across all platforms. Example: Last week I asked ChatGPT "what happened on X" and got a generic summary. I asked Stanley the same thing and he told me about Jensen Huang's first post on X and the viral Deny’s comment. That’s because Stanley has a team of specialized agents that are always on. One agent researches viral posts through the X API. One studies your voice. One doom scrolls X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. 2 months ago we released Stanley in beta to 100 social media power users like @chasepassiveincome, Jay Yang, Mitchell, and Pascio who’ve used Stanley in their daily content process. Engagement rates increased by >50% for the average beta tester. (in fact you’ve probably engaged w/ Stanley posts without realizing) Posting content has genuinely changed my life for the better: it’s helped me raise millions of $, landed me my first customers, and attracted the very best employees. Stan wouldn’t be a $40M ARR business without Content. Stanley is our attempt at democratizing that. Our mission is to help any Entrepreneur tell their story, so we'd love for you to try Stanley for free here: One more thing.. You can see a glimpse of Stanley’s power in the comments below. Drop a reply and Stanley will analyze your X content right now. It'll pull your posts, study your voice, and tell you what's working and what's not. Each reply costs us abt ~$1 in tokens. Go abuse it. (Thank you VC’s.) FYI: This post and launch video were written 100% w/ the help of Stanley (how’d he do?) See Stanley work below 👇

Seth Godin gave a masterclass on how to build an unforgettable brand in the age of AI: 1. Marketing is not about spend. It is about creating the conditions for other people to eagerly spread your idea. 2. Authenticity is overrated. What customers actually want is consistency. Show up the same way every single time and that is worth more than any Super Bowl ad. 3. Everything your company does is a marketing decision. How you answer the phone. What you charge. How you design things. Marketing is not a department. It is everything. 4. Trust is simple. Make a promise. Keep it. Especially when it is hard. 5. Successful brands are built with your customers talking about you. Not you talking about you. 6. A brand is not a logo. A brand is a promise. Nike has a brand. Hyatt has a logo. One of them you know exactly what to expect. The other you do not. 7. You are measuring the wrong things. Follower counts. Stock price. Open rates. False proxies will take your business in the wrong direction faster than anything else. 8. Social media followers mean nothing. Godin has 400,000 Instagram followers and says if he posts about a new book maybe 12 people buy it. The number is a distraction. 9. Stop trying to be famous. The goal is not to get more famous. The goal is to get less famous and more trusted. 10. Average marketing reaches average people. Average people will not buy your product. You need the people who will talk about you, challenge you, and eagerly pay more for better. 11. When you pick your customers you pick your future. Stop trying to reach everyone. Start trying to deeply serve someone specific. 12. Better beats louder every time. One guy running a wine email list with 130,000 subscribers does $30 million a year in revenue. No ads. No social media hustle. Just consistently better. 13. The real opportunity with AI is not making things cheaper. It is making things better. The businesses that use AI to deepen relationships will win. The ones using it to cut costs will race to the bottom. 14. Your job is not to do your job. Your job is to solve problems for other people and make things better by making better things. Everything else is just noise. 15. When AI becomes the buyer it will always choose the cheapest option. If your entire business strategy is being the cheapest, AI will destroy you. The only protection is being worth it in ways that cannot be easily measured. 16. The next level of marketing is permission at a depth nobody has achieved before. The brand that knows your tools, your projects, your needs, and shows up to help without being asked will be impossible to replace. 17. Most businesses will use AI to spam more people faster. The businesses that win will use AI to serve fewer people better. That gap is the biggest opportunity in marketing right now. 18. You have a squadron of summer interns available for twenty dollars a month. They are not that good but they are very eager. The businesses learning to be good bosses of AI right now will have an enormous advantage over everyone waiting to figure it out later. 19. The question every business should be asking is not how do I get more attention. It is how do I become the kind of business that people would genuinely miss if it disappeared tomorrow. That answer is your entire marketing strategy.

Introducing Immutable Audience: the growth engine for pre-launch Steam games. (btw we didn’t spend $50k on a viral launch agency - so if you think this is cool just share it for free i guess) Game marketing is broken. Every year PC studios spend billions to grow their games, and yet: - they don’t know which channels are actually working - only a fraction of wishlist sources can be tracked - of those people who DO wishlist games, the rate of those who go on to purchase is falling After 8 years building games ourselves, and working with over 700 studios, the need for something new was obvious. So, we built Audience. How it works: 1. Audience pulls in real time data from your players across Steam, social media, ad platforms, influencers and more 2. It stores this marketing data in your player CRM, and uses our Enhanced Attribution to identify the one channel driving 80% of your wishlists 3. Finally, it generates a custom growth audit, reviewing your real time data against winning strategies from hundreds of games to identify the most effective ways to get you wishlists each week During Audience’s beta we’ve already seen incredible results. We helped one game grow by over 300k wishlists in 2 months, and then more than *doubled* the rate of those players who converted into paying customers, compared to relying on Steam alone. For the last few months the team at Immutable has been heads down building. We’re incredibly grateful to our community for your support as we onboard the world. Slowly, then all at once. To celebrate the launch, we’re offering one month of Audience for free to any studio that signs up by commenting on this video. And for the first 100 studios that comment, we’ll create you a custom growth plan for free. Comment “Audience” and we’ll send it through.

This battery is about to change the world in 3 months, or make this guy a fool | Fred Lambert, Hacker News Donut Lab lit the EV and energy storage industry on fire last week with its announcement of a 400 Wh/kg solid-state battery cell that can last for 100 years. At face value, if true, we are looking at the single most disruptive announcement in the history of the electric vehicle industry and energy storage as a whole. We aren’t just talking about a better motorcycle battery. If the claims of a 5-minute charge, 100,000-cycle life, and ~400 Wh/kg energy density are accurate and scalable, as Donut Lab claims, this is the holy grail of energy storage. Battery breakthrough announcements generally don’t catch fire like this, but Donut Lab’s did because it said that the cell was already in production and will be in a production vehicle, Verge’s electric motorcycle, this quarter. It gave credibility to the claim, pushing everyone to report on it. Now, we have interviewed Donut Lab’s CEO and investigated the technology. At this point, it looks like either this battery changes the world within the next 3 months, or it will make the CEO look like a fool. In this article, we discuss the impact of the battery, whether real or not, as well as clues about the secret sauce behind its chemistry. The Holy Grail of Energy Storage Consider the implications. A battery that lasts 100,000 cycles is effectively immortal in human terms. You could charge it every single day for 270 years, and it would still be working. It means the battery outlives the vehicle, not just once, but ten times over. It changes the economics of transportation entirely: you buy the battery once, and you swap it into your next five cars. The power density required for a 5-minute charge and the 400 Wh/kg of energy density opens the door to commercial electric aviation, a sector currently strangled by the weight and slow charging speeds of lithium-ion. It solves the grid storage problem by offering a medium that doesn’t degrade, meaning utility companies could amortize the cost over a century rather than a decade. If this is real, the internal combustion engine didn’t just die today; it was buried 100 feet deep, and every other battery is not far behind. But, and this is a massive “but”, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and Donut Lab has yet to release that proof. And that brings us to the man making them. The Man Betting His Reputation I spoke with Marko Lehtimäki, the CEO of Donut Lab and Chairman of Verge Motorcycles. My goal was simple: ask him about the chemistry behind his battery and, if that doesn’t work, look him in the eye and figure out if he’s selling vaporware or if he’s sitting on the breakthrough of the century. Marko isn’t a random guy shouting about a battery breakthrough that will change the world. He is a legit entrepreneur. A computer scientist who built a no-coding app builder years before “vibe coding” was even a thing and sold it to SAP. After the successful exit, he became an investor and serial entrepreneur with his biggest, or most well-known, company being Verge Motorcycles, which has real products on the road. By announcing that this “miracle battery” is already in production and will be shipping in customer vehicles within 10 weeks, he is betting his entire personal reputation on this technology. If he misses this timeline or if the specs are fake, Donut Labs and Verge Motorcycles might not survive the credibility loss. He has a lot to lose here. In my article about the battery announcement last week, I noted that Marko’s presentation was incredible. He basically described a perfect battery: record energy density, incredible charge rate, unprecedented longevity, no rare metals, a cost lower than traditional Li-ion cells, and in scalable production right now. Sounds too good to be true? The only thing he didn’t share was details about the chemistry, beyond saying it doesn’t use lithium or other rare metals. What’s the point of protecting the chemistry if the battery is already in production and it will be in a product shipped this quarter? If that’s true, the battery will be reverse-engineered before the snow completely melts. We discussed it with Marko during our interview. His logic is that once the bikes ship, competitors will tear them down and figure it out anyway. But that won’t happen for another 10 weeks or so, and the head start is critical for a technology this disruptive. In the meantime, Donut Lab’s goal with the announcement was to get the attention of OEMs and ship them battery packs for validation. Marko said: We are right now shipping demo packs to OEMs under NDAs and under tight disclosures so that they can test that all of that is true, which serves our business very well [better than disclosing the chemistry]. But these programs with OEMs are likely to take a long time before they become public. Shorter term, there’s Verge Motorcycles shipping bikes with the battery by the end of the quarter. Before that, Marko also said that we should soon see third-party testing of those cells: We rather right now ship it to authorized research and science center that tests everything without opening it and telling everybody what’s in there. In short, we should have a good idea whether the claims are true or not in just a few weeks no matter what. What does Marko, or Donut Lab, have to gain by lying about this? I also discussed this with Marko and the only thing I could come up with is if he happens to be raising capital right now, but he shut that down: There are a million investors chasing us right now, but we are literally not talking to anybody. We tell investors that we can discuss terms after we have done all our disclosures. Marko insisted that Donut Lab is not taking any investment until they have proven their cells work. In short, it’s hard to find an upside for Donut Lab in making this announcement if the claims are not true. It doesn’t mean that they are, but it makes you think. The Investigation: What Is the “Donut Battery”? So, what is the secret sauce? Marko wouldn’t say, but after digging into public records, supply chains, and research papers, I believe we have a pretty good idea. Let me preface this by saying that I’m not a chemist or physicist, but I’ve been a journalist covering electric vehicles for more than a decade, and I’m pretty good at connecting the dots, and in this case, I’ve had the help of a couple of great sources, too. I’m not saying that this is the Donut Lab battery, but since they are not sharing much, we have to speculate, and all evidence points to a Finnish nanotechnology startup called Nordic Nano and its Chief Scientist, Dr. Bela Bhuskute. Donut Lab invested in Nordic Nano in October 2025, just months before this announcement. At the time of writing this, the press release has fewer than 200 views. The announcement went under the radar, and while Marko said that Nordic Nano is more of a “solar company” during our interview, the announcement mentions both solar and energy storage. Dr. Bhuskute’s research at Tampere University focuses on amorphous Titanium Dioxide nanostructures, which could benefit many different technologies, including batteries. It fits the “miracle” specs perfectly: - 100,000 Cycles: Traditional solid-state batteries are crystalline (like a brick wall) and crack when ions rush in. Dr. Bhuskute’s amorphous Titanium Dioxide is disordered (like a sponge) and “breathes,” allowing it to expand and contract without breaking. - 5-Minute Charge: This chemistry stores energy via “pseudocapacitance,” which is basically like Velcro. Ions stick to the surface almost instantly rather than having to burrow deep inside the material. - The Manufacturing: Nordic Nano uses a “nanofluid” printing process for its solar product using the technology. This aligns with Donut Lab’s description of a “clay-like” material that enables an easier manufacturing process. Some call this “battery printing”, which could explain Donut Lab’s ability to bring this to production in record time. When I asked Marko for the volumetric energy density (Wh/L), he claimed he “couldn’t remember”. Volumetric energy density is one of the few specs that Donut Lab hasn’t released. This battery is lighter than lithium-ion, but it could be bigger due to the amorphous nature of the titanium dioxide. However, the CEO claimed it has a higher volumetric density than traditional Li-ion batteries, without providing a specific number. If that’s true, not only could electric vehicles and energy storage switch to this new chemistry, but even personal electronics, such as smartphones. In 2025, Nordic Nano has been making moves, including securing a former large retail location in Imatra, Finland, near the Russian border: It could be where the company has set up production. Following investment from the Finnish government, Nordic Nano had to elaborate a bit on its products and confirmed that it is working on “solar energy systems and energy storage solutions”: The company’s range of products includes two product families: solar energy systems and energy storage solutions: The ultra-thin and flexible solar film collects twice the amount of energy compared to traditional silicon-based solar panels. Solid-state salt batteries are manufactured by printing from nanofluid, which enables the efficient use of space and the production of batteries in varying shapes. Furthermore, the company confirmed that it is using a “screenprinting” manufacturing method. This is not new. Other companies have produced battery cells with this technology with varying degrees of success. It appears that the bet is that the amorphous rather than crystalized titanium dioxide nanostructure could be more easily adapted and scaled with this manufacturing technology. Electrek’s Take I’m naturally skeptical, and this screams “too good to be true”, but I can’t find anything that categorically rejects the claims. I get battery breakthrough announcements in my inbox every week, and most of the time they never amount to anything. If I decide to spend some time researching them and talking to experts, I generally quickly hit a problem or two that make them commercially unviable. This announcement is different. We can’t really investigate the actual breakthrough; we can only speculate about it, since it is guarded. Marko’s logic for guarding the chemistry is sound, and the incentives to lie about what they have aren’t clear if he is not currently raising money. Then, because they claim this is already in production and will be in a deliverable product within weeks, we will know whether the claims are true in short order, and their reputations, especially Marko’s, are on the line. During my interview, Marko didn’t seem too worried about it. It doesn’t sound like someone who needs to quickly figure out how to deliver this, but rather someone who has a couple of aces in their hand and is looking to maximize them. It’s also strange that this innovation and then production quickly comes from a relatively small company. I thought researching Donut Lab would make me more skeptical about the claims, but it’s the contrary. It confirms that their technology stems from years of research, backed by university and government funding for its commercialization. Could it be that this critical research went under the radar and a small electric motorcycle startup in need of a significant bump in energy density stumbled upon it? Then, a savvy entrepreneur quickly found a way to optimize the impact of this potentially groundbreaking tech by spinning out a startup from the motorcycle company to market the battery to a broader market. Maybe? This could be real, or it could be hype. Again, I’m still skeptical, but I can’t point to anything specific that would disprove any claim made about this miracle battery. Again, if this is true, we are talking about a complete reset of the entire energy and transportation sectors. Donut Lab would become one of the biggest companies in the world. A Nobel Prize would be coming to Dr. Bhuskute and her colleagues in the near future. If it’s not, Marko and Donut Lab’s reputation would be destroyed. There might also be a middle conclusion where the battery is nearly as good as they claim, but when you ramp up production, other problems arise, such as scrap, which has been the undoing of another company that recently tried screenprinting batteries. Who knows? But it sounds like we should find out soon. Within weeks, we should get independent verifications of the specs. Then the bikes get delivered within months. You can fake a presentation, but there are things you can’t fake.

This poor Mexican-American radio repairman accidentally discovered how to hack the human brain. What he found terrified the establishment. Here's an incredible story that'll make you rethink consciousness. Meet Jose Silva. He was fixing radios in Laredo, Texas, barely making enough to feed his family. But somewhere in the circuit boards and frequency waves, he noticed something that would spend the next fifty years getting buried under institutional resistance and academic dismissal. When he worked with his sister on her homework using hypnosis techniques, he observed something that shouldn't have been possible: - Her IQ jumped. - Her recall became photographic. - Her ability to solve problems accelerated. But more importantly, when he guided her to visualize specific scenarios in her mind at a particular brain frequency, outcomes in her actual life began shifting in alignment with what she'd mentally constructed. This was more than meditation. This was something neurobiologically measurable happening inside the brain when it operated at a specific frequency band. Decades later, neuroscience would begin validating fragments of what Silva had intuited. Brain imaging shows the alpha state—that 8 to 12 cycles per second frequency he identified—creates a bridge between the analytical left hemisphere and the creative, intuitive right hemisphere. When you're there, the default mode network (the brain's task negative network) quiets down. The predictive centers that normally constrain your thinking go offline. The areas associated with imagination, emotion, and visualization light up simultaneously with memory centers and executive function centers. You're operating in a state where the brain isn't filtering reality through learned restrictions anymore. What Silva understood before we had the vocabulary for it was that consciousness at this frequency doesn't work like consciousness at your normal waking state. At 20 cycles (normal waking), your brain treats visualization as imagination—something separate from reality, a daydream, unreal. The two hemispheres aren't talking to each other in the same integrated way. Your left brain is running the show, building models, making predictions, comparing incoming sensations to stored patterns and mostly rejecting what doesn't match. At alpha, something shifts. The visualization becomes real to the brain in a way it isn't at 20 cycles. The visual cortex activates almost identically whether you're watching something with your eyes open or visualizing it with your eyes closed. The motor cortex fires. The emotional centers engage. But critically, the skepticism circuits—the parts of your brain that constantly evaluate whether something is real or unreal, possible or impossible—go quiet. To the brain at alpha, a vividly visualized scenario has genuine reality weight. This is where most people miss the actual mechanism. They hear Silva talk about visualization creating reality and think he's claiming some mystical force, some mind over matter pseudoscience. They don't understand what he's actually pointing to: the brain's predictive model of reality gets updated when you introduce new information into the right hemisphere at alpha. That updated model then drives every unconscious behavior, every intuition, every pattern recognition decision your brain makes when you return to normal waking state. Your body begins moving through the world differently because your brain's map of what's possible just changed. The neuroscientist Donald Hebb captured this with a single sentence that nobody paid attention to until decades later: "neurons that fire together wire together." When you visualize something in alpha with genuine emotional engagement, you're lighting up the neural pathways that would fire if that thing were actually happening. You're priming those neural circuits. When you encounter real situations that match elements of your visualization, your brain recognizes the patterns faster, your intuition reads the scenario more accurately, your decisions reflect someone who's already lived through something similar. Silva never quite explained it in neural terms because the imaging technology didn't exist yet. But he was precise about something else: the visualization has to be detailed, has to include emotional content, has to feel real to the right brain hemisphere. Casual daydreaming doesn't do it. Vague hoping doesn't do it. You have to construct the scenario in full sensory detail at alpha, experience it as though it's already happened, let your body feel what that accomplishment would feel like. That's the piece that terrified institutions. Silva was offering a method that actually worked. People who went through the training reported concrete results. Better memory. Improved problem solving. Accurate intuitions. Things that could be measured and replicated. But, the Catholic Church called it demonic. Medical establishments dismissed it as pseudoscience. The intelligence community studied it quietly and then classified what they found. Because if you can teach ordinary people to access a mental state where their brain becomes dramatically more capable of solving problems, of recognizing patterns, of generating solutions their waking mind couldn't access—you've fundamentally altered the game. You've democratized cognitive enhancement without a pill, without an implant, without any external technology. The part Silva kept emphasizing that still doesn't get enough attention: he wasn't claiming you could visualize yourself flying and then float off a building. He was claiming that if you wanted to build a business, solve a technical problem, heal a relationship, or create something in your field, you could encode that intention into your right brain using visualization at alpha, and your unconscious would reorganize around making it real. The mechanism was always about rewiring your nervous system to recognize and move toward opportunities your waking mind was too filtered to see. Modern research into visualization has begun confirming exactly this. Athletes who combine physical practice with detailed mental rehearsal at specific brain states show measurable improvements beyond those who only practice physically. The brain doesn't clearly distinguish between vividly rehearsed scenarios and actual experience when it comes to pattern recognition and motor programming. Visualization activates the same neural pathways as the actual behavior. But Silva took it further. He wasn't just talking about athletes or specific skills. He was talking about a general state of consciousness that upgraded how the entire brain processed reality. A state you could teach anyone to access consistently, to maintain, to work from deliberately. That's a technology. That's a demonstrable technique that produces measurable changes in cognitive function. The reason it got suppressed wasn't that it didn't work. It's precisely that it did work, and it worked for people who had no credentials, no institutional backing, no permission from the established hierarchy of thought. An electronics repairman from Mexico showing working class people how to access states of mind that made them more capable, more intuitive, more effective at solving their own problems? That threatened something in the structure of how power gets distributed. Institutions maintain control partly through controlling which people have access to enhanced cognition. Universities do it through exclusive admission. Corporations do it through internal hierarchies. Professions do it through credentialing and gatekeeping. If you suddenly make a technique available that allows anyone to access demonstrably better thinking for free, you've disrupted the scarcity model. Silva understood this. He was building a movement of people who could think for themselves at a level the system didn't want widely distributed. Everything he said about visualization, about the right brain hemisphere, about alpha frequency, about the present being the materialization of thought—it all traces back to a single radical claim: "that human consciousness can be upgraded, that most of us are running at a fraction of our potential, and that the upgrade doesn't come from external authority but from accessing the mental tools we already have." That thought, more than anything else, was the real threat.

During a 2 hour GTA 6 demo MikeShowSha encountered a random event that Rockstar’s team said had never happened during months of testing. 2 masked women had botched a jewelry store robbery and become trapped inside while the alarm blared. Mike and Rob let them out, then robbed the store themselves! That was only one of the details he revealed: - Calling your personal car doesn’t simply spawn it nearby. An NPC physically delivers it, gets out and rides away on an electric scooter. Rob Nelson noticed Jason didn’t thank the driver and immediately told the development team to fix the interaction. - Mike encountered two injured robbers who had crashed into a pole, leaving stolen cash scattered across the road. Jason and Lucia took the money, but the bills were marked and had to be laundered at a shop. - People appearing in the in-game social media feed can sometimes be found performing the same stunts around Leonida. - Police can record your face, clothing, weapon and vehicle description. Changing clothes, hiding your weapon, repainting your car or switching vehicles can help break that description. - Security cameras can identify Jason and Lucia during an unplanned robbery. - Police are no longer constantly marked on the minimap. Focus mode can reveal nearby officers, interactive doors, explosives and enemy weak points. - Rob said escaping a six-star wanted level is extraordinarily difficult because the police continue hunting relentlessly. - Shooting police car tires produces completely dynamic crashes. Mike watched it happen several times and the pursuing vehicles reacted differently each time. - Avoiding unnecessary casualties can improve your Criminal Profile by treating the escape as more professional. - The Criminal Profile does not award special powers for being “good” or “bad.” It reflects what kind of criminal each character is becoming. - Character movement appeared noticeably smoother than RDR2 and sprinting no longer requires repeatedly tapping a face button. - Eating too much can make Jason and Lucia gain weight. Training can increase strength, but maintaining that physique requires returning to the gym. - An out-of-shape police officer chasing Jason became exhausted, stopped and bent over with his hands on his knees. - Jason was hit with a taser and visibly scraped his knees and elbows when he fell. - Older cars can be opened with a slim jim and hotwired through a minigame. Newer vehicles can require a key cloning tool on your phone. - Smashing the window remains the fast way to steal a car, but how the vehicle is stolen can affect your Criminal Profile. - Gas cars need fuel and electric cars need charging. Rob said a full tank lasts a reasonable amount of time, but stolen vehicles may already be running low. - Some stolen electric cars have GPS trackers, forcing players to abandon or modify them before escaping. - A vehicle scanning app can reveal a car’s value, security and registration cost. - Jason and Lucia can end their romantic relationship while remaining partners in crime. - When travelling together, the player can command the AI-controlled partner to drive faster. - Players can switch between Jason and Lucia during a chase, allowing one character to drive while the other shoots at pursuing police. - Personal weapons are stored in the characters’ vehicle. Weapons collected from the world can be confiscated after an arrest, while customized personal weapons remain available from the trunk. - Newspapers can be physically picked up, opened and read, with some functioning as collectibles. - Animals can be studied and dogs can be given food before their breed is identified. Everything above comes from what MikeShowSha says he witnessed or was told during the demo with Rob Nelson (Rockstar North head dev).

Trouble is brewing for Tim Hortons as Dunkin' Donuts returns to Canada Great news! Tim Hortons is about to get some much-needed direct competition on the coffee and donuts front. After an eight-year hiatus, Dunkin’ Donuts is coming back to Canada. As reported in the Toronto Sun by the superb food professor Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Dunkin’ Donuts was once a formidable player in the Canadian coffee and donuts sector, especially in Quebec. Dr. Charlebois is the director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, a co-host of The Food Professor Podcast, and a visiting scholar at McGill University. He knows his stuff when it comes to the food and foodservice sectors. And now comes word that Dunkin’ is back – and it means business, with as many as 700 locations opening in Canada beginning later this year. The player behind the return of Dunkin’ Donuts is Foodtastic. Foodtastic is a Montreal-based restaurant consolidator that has a reputation for aggressively acquiring and revitalizing brands across Canada. This includes such chains as Pita Pit, Second Cup, Freshii and Quesada. Dr. Charlebois notes that, unlike many foreign operators trying to enter Canada, Foodtastic actually understands the Canadian and Quebec markets intimately. And this understanding is crucial for success. So, the question arises: Why is Dunkin’ Donuts set to return now? Dr. Charlebois says the decision to revive this iconic U.S. brand in the Great White North is all about identifying weakness in our domestic market. He notes: “For years, Tim Hortons dominated Canada’s quick-service coffee market with extraordinary efficiency. It wasn’t just a coffee chain; it became part of Canada’s cultural identity. But dominance can create complacency, and the Canadian marketplace today is very different from the one Dunkin’ left behind. Consumer loyalty has weakened. Canadians are far more willing to switch brands than they were 20 years ago. Inflation has changed buying habits. Consumers are increasingly critical of value, quality, consistency and service. At the same time, the coffee market itself has evolved dramatically.” He is right on the money. What’s more, I think Dr. Charlebois is far too polite in his analysis of Tim’s reputational downfall. I mean, let’s be honest: most of the food Tim Hortons serves up these days is practically inedible. As for the chain’s decades-old slogan, “Always Fresh”, that’s an outright fallacy. Tim Hortons stores used to bake donuts and muffins from scratch. But about 20 years ago, they got rid of their bakers, a decision that was driven by reducing labour costs. Now the stores heat up par-baked items, which are nicknamed frozen pucks, in convection ovens. This is a task that’s easily done by those making minimum wage, and without any knowledge of baking. “Always Fresh” indeed… And maybe it’s just me, but why do so many Tim Hortons stores seem so shabby? And why are the washrooms so frequently filthy? It’s like nobody in charge seems to care anymore. Which is why Dr. Charlebois notes that, “Ironically, Dunkin’s return may say less about the strength of Dunkin’ and more about the reality that Tim Hortons is no longer viewed as invincible. That alone makes this story worth watching carefully.” And I would add that even though Tim Hortons wraps itself in the Maple Leaf, Tim’s is no longer a Canadian-owned chain but part of a multinational conglomerate. It’s Canadian in name only, and I’m sure the man it is named after is rolling in his grave right now. I'm going to give the CEO of Foodtastic eight figures worth of free consulting advice: If you want to really resonate with Canadian customers who are pissed off with Tim Hortons, stage a press conference in which you announce that your company plans to hire Canadians to staff Dunkin’ Donuts shops, and that you will not take advantage of the Temporary Foreign Worker program. In recent years, Tim Hortons has earned the dubious nickname of “Singh Hortons”. Sure, this company loves selling products to Canadians. But it is increasingly not hiring Canadians as staffers – even though Tim’s is a multibillion-dollar restaurant chain that certainly does not need government handouts. I am certain this would be a winning communications strategy for Foodtastic as it resurrects Dunkin’ Donuts in these parts. Talk about irony in this day and age of “elbows up”! Will an American-based coffee and donut chain actually end up being more Canadian than Tim Hortons? Can’t wait to see what transpires in the months ahead. REPORT by David Menzies:

yall think black hat sauce is methods wtf do you think is the base for those methods? It's making them believe and feel false realities > If you want real black hat alpha, this is it. YOU WANT your VSLs or marketing campaigns to have a high CVR, AOV & retention (mrr in the backend) black hat methods get to these means in many ways like (fake authority using ai for clebs, back end mrr, fake promises, etc) >> however you can overcome the need for all of this while getting the same end results by just curating the reality of the VSL and experience in general to fit what those methods would have done. like for example - how would we be able to invoke a first time experience ecstasy of emotion in a vsl? > not only will this make the experience of the ad unique but also give you a platform to create a real authority figure that matches the belief of a cleb. from my experience I've found the way to do this is visually, auditorily, and ofc with your creatives. As yall know for my VSLs I try to take very unique different angles, with very specific visuals that back it up. and if you have trouble with this, you're literally in the perfect time in the world. You can use sora 2, put in your theme & ideas and ask it to be creative, include 100 different shots/scenes (add a aesthetic source image to make the generations 100x better) and boom. You have so many different frames and angles to get inspired by. > Also with MRR, you know one neurochemical that boosts the fuck out of CVR & retention? makes you trust more in a offer, promise, and changes your consciousness in ways that subsequently makes you spend more? its oxytocin. best example that I always use. the Charity water VSL (search up on yt). $700m off of MRR how? because of how touching and deep it hit. those types of narratives and experiences is what secretes oxytocin. And that's one legit real way you can boost your mrr and keep it long term if your angle is tied in a way to keep eliciting that reaction. It can be for any offer or product, happy or sad (best to stick with happy unless for a charity vsl like this one, or if yk what you're doing). > However remember one chemical change doesn't mean everything. There are tons of different states of mind you can put someone in, but they won't led to the results you want unless you include Specifics (on the offer, promises, and social proofs/belief elements) A big idea & unique angle and a proposition that ties in the creative --> to a reason showing that they NEED to buy this offer for whatever reason. >>> these changes and efforts we go to make a VSL work, doesn't pull it's weight & potential if we don't see it through a lens of economic game theory. over the last 28 years or so "several lines of experimentation have discovered that our goal- directed behaviors can be under “unconscious control” (Custers & Aarts, 2010)" The unconscious mind is the foundation for all your customers actions, they act because the deeper sections of their brains pick up a cue run it through memory, and pre biologically embedded risk/reward and elimination scenarios to see if this new stimuli is similar/relevant to past stimuli that has aided in spreading it's genes in the past (i.e. been useful to the past generations which led to this trait being past on over and over again) For your purposes, the way to use this to your advantage and to activate it in a positive sense so it guides your customer to a conversion is to implement visual & auditory cues in your VSL that mirror the goal and desire/outcome they so deeply desire. this can be done by the language you use (copy), visuals/b roll etc. this will overlap with prefrontal–striatal loops as conscious intent ≈ 72 % making your customer already feel and get a grasp of their desires This is where belief and proofs come in, they all go hand in hand and strengthen the end goal (to buy). _____ also another note for the unique angle, drop off of CVRs happens also when a customer gets sight of a familiar stimulus in a VSL/offer (could be anything) even if they don't think of it consciously, the brain processes everything happening which is directed to be a data point for thought, through a memory check and relation test. If in the past, you had a bad experience with that stimulus, or something similar. The brain will count the offer as invalid with the outcome of lowering belief and seeing the future outcome as achievable. _______ more data on this inside also one of the biggest needle movers is tension in VSLs, include that in everything. 🥂

What they don’t tell you when you get older is that you become more selfish, self-centred and less likely to match with someone. So people double down on the self. The Wall is mostly psychological. People focus on the biological aspect with women, but the independence mindset first (“focus on my career”, “I deserve”) is as much if not more a source of infertility than eggs count. If you want to find someone who you are going to build a life with, it is better to do it in your 20s than in your 30s because there is more emotional wiggle room to make space for a person. This goes for both men and women. The way men get it wrong, build yourself and women will come to find you. And you end up with mid 30s looking for clean-up man applicants. You are not as attractive as in your mid to late 20s. And you don’t have that much of a clue of about women, because you focused mainly on your business. So you make a perfect target, for yourself to have an identity collapse from the moment you discover that what you worked hard for all these years was to be a utility only covering for a wife whose only reason she is with you was because you were everything she would not have gone for in her prime. Wasted years, with high exit costs. The way women get it wrong is focus on your career to realise later on they are not gonna be CEOs, but most likely end up at some middle management position making above average income which they start getting tired of it, but in the process built standards and experience portfolio which will make what they would normally qualify for below to what they would feel satisfied with - that they end up resenting the person they are settling for if they find one- even though he would be in her lane. Not mentioning, she carries the baggages of aggregated dating failures during her fun time which is going to hinder her future relationship. And she has to go through dating guys who mostly want her for fucking only, when she does not confuse it with a guy who won’t deal with her rules (product of her being previously used) because he does not want to be seen as provider only. To make it worse, in ever more challenging economic conditions, being with someone to cover the costs of life makes more sense on a society level. However, everyone is becoming more economically fragile. Not only the revenue per head decreased from the doubling of the labour supply, but now it actually creates a double whammy effect, as this creates more distance between the genders stuck in an attrition war that they end up even more emotionally atomised and financially precarious overall. Yet everyone feels the best way to survive is making it on their own. When the people who hold the most power influence and money did it mostly through networks and support systems. It is normie self-sabotage on a massive scale sponsored by normies through social media, so it is even more persuasive. Why need propaganda machines when you can condition the lowest common denominator of people and do the advertisement for you reaching through simpleton messaging. For a pendulum swing to happen few “we thought we knew better but actually did not” generations need to be wasted into irrelevance from adopting these now mainstream narratives (“40 is the new 20”, “why the rush?”) for other generations to change the trend. This is not to say that there are some people who are happy the way things are, but generally speaking, the feeling of belonging happens when you share your life with someone else. And one upping through “I don’t need man/woman” on the public sphere is cutting your nose to spite your face, as a pyrrhic victory to hide the private failure being felt behind closed doors.

ENDING THE GLOBALIST IMPERIAL SYSTEM and understanding the game plan to free humanity and build something new, for we, the people, by the people, while navigating through the fake news media, finding the truth, and putting the pieces together. It's easy to get caught up in the noise and the massive amount of psychological warfare tearing you down and playing on your emotions, especially throughout social media. All of this and everything you see happening is by design. Since Trump took office the plan has always been the same. End the globalist deep state satanic cabal and remove them and their system from power. The mainstream media and other operations are running on overtime because their entire plan has been completely spoiled once again. They are running out of time and are on offense. And they know it. Everything transpiring is much bigger than simply picking one side over another. There are massive layers and players on both sides making up a massive 400 year old plan to take control of humanity at the core. The plan has been in motion for literal centuries by the globalist deep state satanic elite to enslave humanity, create a one world government and to destroy everything that it means to be free and no one tried to stop them or ever stood in their way and was successful. Until now. Their plans have been foiled again and again. From Covid lockdowns and now attempting to start WW3. One man has stood up and in their way before they could get to you. To get to us. This man and others with some of the finest men and women of our time are fighting a battle to end this evil cabal. To free humanity and destroy this ancient slave system built on never ending wars and unlimited enemies, instead of friendships and partnerships with others and a system of debt that the people will never pay off. Most importantly to save the children and become the free society that we were always meant to be. Sometimes things are hard to understand or keep up with. But it all starts with a dream, a goal, a vision. With faith, consistency and belief. Anything is possible. This ancient evil cabal is on its last leg and on its way out forever. Everything is not always as it seems. Stop buying everything the mainstream media and others are constantly throwing in front of you. It's all noise. Do not get caught up in the day to day drama. There are layers, optics, and timing for everything that you are witnessing. Think logical. Think bigger. Your president knows the truth. Trust your president. Have faith and Godspeed.

Scientific discovery is reaching the limits of human capacity: too much data, too many disconnected fields, and too few ways to connect ideas fast enough to matter. The next breakthroughs in materials, medicine, energy, and beyond will not come from scaling today’s AI paradigm alone or from relying on serendipity alone. They will require a new kind of AI for knowledge discovery that not only models the world but shapes what it could become. At Unreasonable Labs, we are building superintelligence for knowledge discovery: systems that reason across disciplines, generate novel hypotheses, test them through simulation and experimentation, and help guide real-world discovery. Our AI engine is not confined to what it has seen in training. It creates new data, builds new tools, and maintains a persistent world model that grows more powerful as it reasons. Why now? Even today's most powerful AI models face a core limitation: they are trained on what we already know. True discovery begins when a system encounters something its current model cannot explain. This is why you cannot train your way to a discovery - a system has to reason through new problems, update its beliefs, and revise its understanding of the world as it thinks. Another critical insight is that rich knowledge already exists, but is not yet applied to solve pressing problems. It sits in millions of papers, patents, and datasets, trapped in isolated silos, often in legacy data vaults. What's missing is a way to connect it, scale it, unlock the potential, and synthesize genuine novel predictions. The time is now to build a system that enables practitioners to design, explore, and direct discovery, whether through human guidance or full automation, while capturing the tacit insight that domain experts bring. Steerable reasoning That is why we built an operating system for scientific discovery - one that replaces chance with steerable reasoning. Rather than retrieving static facts, our AI builds and continuously updates a living world model - a representation of knowledge the system can actively reason over, question, and revise. A concrete example: say you want to create "smart concrete" that can flex - a concept that doesn't exist yet. Our AI maps relationships across domains, finds a path from morphable smart materials to concrete, and identifies the most efficient way to bridge those concepts. It then autonomously writes simulations, tests the hypothesis, and refines the idea. Then it interacts with hardware to produce a physical artifact, and the loop expands into the real-world, where the machine becomes world-shaping. Our AI gives users full visibility into how the system arrived at a conclusion. It delineates which existing patents and papers it drew upon versus what is genuinely new - protecting IP and competitive concerns from the start, and offering deep compositional insights into technology advances. It takes unreasonable people to make progress Our team reflects the interdisciplinary expertise required to build this next breakthrough - my co-founder Yuan Cao Yuan Cao (formerly DeepMind) and Andrew Lew, Haiqian Yang, Matt Insler, Jennifer Kang and Julia McLaughlin. We are backed by $13.5M in seed funding led by Playground Global with participation from AIX, E14 Fund, and MS&AD. We are guided by advisors including Robert Langer (1,000+ patents), Kostya Novoselov (Nobel Prize in Physics), and Thomas Wolf (Co-founder of Hugging Face). We already have multiple pilot programs underway with leading industrial partners in materials science and engineering, with additional engagements developing across energy, logistics, bioengineering, and other strategic domains. The biggest challenges of our time - fusion energy, sustainable materials, new medicines - demand exponentially more innovation than humans alone can produce. We are not replacing scientists, and instead are making every scientist capable of leading their own team of AI-powered researchers. Abundant innovation leads to abundant prosperity.
