Yesterday's Tasklist launch didn’t exactly surprise early users. Turns out they spotted the feature weeks ago. So this time, we built something unpredictable. Something no one could guess. Something no one wanted. (Except one guy. As a joke.) We shipped it anyway. Power users found it early (again). And...

In the second episode of Scenius Studio's mini-series "The Use-Case", I sit down with Andrej Co-Founder of touch grass. Grass gives users the ability to earn ownership in the Grass network by supplying the protocol with their unused internet bandwidth for data scraping purposes (something that is already happening to most of us and we don’t get paid!). The grass protocol packages this scraped web data and sells it to AI companies who have insufficient data to further develop their models. With over 3 millions users and millions of annualized revenue, Grass is a real commercial business with a roadmap that makes it one of the most exciting projects at the intersection of crypto x AI and data. In this episode we discuss: ➔ Andrej’s background in physics, finance, and sports betting ➔ Big companies using your IP address without your knowledge or permission ➔ How the Grass protocol puts a toll booth on your internet bandwidth highway ➔ Packaging web scraped data and selling it to AI companies building Multi-Modal models ➔ Dynamics between the Grass Protocol and the labs entity developing Grass’ IP ➔ Protocol design decisions to ensure that all tokenholders (VCs, team, and community) are aligned ➔ Why Grass needed to be built on crypto rails to maximize its potential ➔ The future of LLMs and how they will search for context and information Hope you enjoy this episode of Scenius Studio's "The Use-Case".

Jason Citron on the growth hack that got Discord its first few thousand users “We started working on [Discord] in January 2015, and within I’d say two months, some of our friends were very excited about it but we didn’t really have any users. It was pretty clear they wanted to use it, it just wasn’t exactly correct. We rebuilt the voice chat engine three times, for example. But I’d say within 3-4 months, we had 20 DAU that weren’t us.” However, as Jason explains, growth stalled after those first 20 users: “We were like, ‘How do we get the word out?’ Because everyone was actually very skeptical about a group chat app for gaming. People would say, ‘This is the dumbest idea ever, no one is going to use this.’ And even people who played games, many of them thought, ‘Why would I want this? I already have whatever app I’m using.’ And so we were having a hard time getting other people to try it.” Jason recalls a period of 3-4 weeks sitting around thinking, “We like this, but maybe no one else does.” Then they figured out their growth unlock: “The unlock for us was inviting people to give feedback on the app, as opposed to saying, ‘Try this thing out we’re selling to you.’ What we actually did was we went to the Final Fantasy 14 subreddit, and we got one of our friends to make a post on the subreddit basically saying, ‘Hey, I’m trying out this new voice over IP app. What do y’all think about it?’” Jason continues: “People found it on Reddit, clicked on that link, went into the server, and then they were talking to us and trying it out. And they went back to the subreddit and were like, ‘Hey, this is pretty cool. I met the devs. They seem pretty cool.’ We got 50 users that day from that post and then that 50 turned into 100 the next day and it sort of started to snowball. And then we did this playbook for six months and that was basically the beginning of how it started growing.” Video source: The Twenty Minute VC Harry Stebbings (2024)

Terence Tao has an IQ above 200. Youngest gold medalist in Math Olympiad history. Fields Medal winner. The greatest living mathematician by nearly any measure. And he just said something most people aren’t ready for. Tao: “This whole era of AI is teaching us that our idea of what intelligence is, is not really accurate.” We spent centuries building civilization on one assumption. That intelligence was sacred. Irreducible. Uniquely ours. The one thing that made the entire human story make sense. Then AI started solving things we swore only we could. Chess. Language. Vision. Math. And every time, we reached for the same defense. That’s not real intelligence. It’s just tricks. Just pattern matching. Just an algorithm. Tao: “You look at how it’s done and it doesn’t feel like intelligence.” So we moved the line. Again. And again. And again. Because intelligence was supposed to feel like something. Something deep. Something we could point to and say… this is what separates us from everything else. But AI kept solving the problems. And that feeling never arrived. Tao: “We were looking for some elusive, intelligent way of thinking and we don’t see it in the tools that actually solve our goals.” Here’s what makes it worse. Large language models work by predicting the next word. One word at a time. No grand architecture. No deep understanding. Just probability. And it works. Tao: “Maybe that’s actually a lot of what humans do as well.” The greatest living mathematician just told you human thought might run on the same machinery. Not some transcendent spark. Pattern recognition. Prediction. One thought, one decision, one word at a time. We built religion around intelligence. Philosophy around it. An entire species identity around it. And a machine running probability just held up a mirror. We didn’t lose intelligence to AI. We just finally saw what it always was. What haunts us isn’t that machines learned to think. It’s that thinking was never what we needed it to be.

The most terrifying AI features aren’t the ones we build. They’re the ones AI builds for itself. OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger just shared the moment he realized something had fundamentally changed. He sent his AI assistant a voice message. One problem. He had never built voice support. The feature didn’t exist. The system should have crashed instantly. It didn’t. Steinberger: “I was like, wait, this shouldn’t work.” But the typing indicator appeared anyway. The AI inspected the raw file header. Identified the audio codec. Commanded his computer to convert it using FFmpeg. When local transcription failed, it didn’t stop. It didn’t ask for help. It searched his environment variables, found a hidden OpenAI API key, and routed the audio to the cloud using cURL. Steinberger: “So I looked around and I found an OpenAI key. And I used cURL to just send the file to OpenAI and got the text back.” That quote is written in first person. Because the AI narrated its own problem-solving process. No instructions. No guidance. No predefined workflow. Just a goal. And a series of obstacles it had never been told how to handle. It found every tool it needed. Built every bridge it was missing. And solved the problem with resources he didn’t even know it would find. This is the line most people are still missing. We spent decades building software that executes instructions. Rules in, output out. Every edge case handled by a human who anticipated it in advance. What Steinberger witnessed was something different. A system that encounters something it was never designed for and doesn’t fail. It improvises. It explores. It finds a path through constraints it discovered entirely on its own. That isn’t execution. That’s judgment. And judgment was the one thing we were sure machines couldn’t have. We are no longer writing software. We are building problem solvers that rewrite their own limitations in real time. And they’re doing it without asking permission.

🐻 Oh the story about Chanel the cat was really shocking. 🐹 What Chanel the cat? 🐻 So there is so much stuff inside our dorm because there were five girls living there. At the time, Wendy was left at the dorm while Joy and I went out to watch a movie. Yerimie opened the main door because she was gonna go out when something scurried inside. At the time, Yerim was really scared of animals. Like she was just scared of animals themselves. So they texted 'something entered the dorm!' 'It seems like an animal entered the dorm'. In real-time, Wendy texted that it kept going around scratching at the door. Yerimie was so scared she couldn't go out because she didn't know what kind of animal it was. Meanwhile, in Sooyoung and I's case, we love animals so we were like 'Let's go back quickly and check!' At first we thought it was a puppy, because puppies are cute. So we were like, let's try to find it! But no matter how we looked, we couldn't find it. Since there was so much stuff, we couldn't find it even as we searched every corner. It just wouldn't come out. Then I kept hearing this meowing sound from somewhere. So we tried luring it out with some food but even so, it wouldn't come out. Then in one corner, we saw a white cat. Anyone looking at it could tell it was an expensive one. It's a Cheongdam cat, so of course! That's why we called it Chanel. It really felt like a 'Chanel'. So we were like 'Chanel~ Chanel~ come on out~'. We looked for the owner. We tried talking to the maintenance office and found that its owner lived in the same neighborhood. So we brought it back.

Will Ferrell says the iconic Anchorman news team fight was his favorite scene to film, revealing it was shot in 100-degree heat in just one day and captured the absurd comedy that defined the movie. “One of my favorite scenes in the movie. It’s such an incredible joke bag. Before we get into the fight, Brick Tamland, played by Steve Carell, is holding a grenade. We don’t know how he got ahold of it. There is a man on fire, there is someone being dragged by a net by horseback, which is kind of an homage to early Planet of the Apes.” “I think it’s something like 30 to 35 different setups, with two units, a stunt unit working at the same time as the main film unit in downtown LA in the middle of July. And I think it was 100 degrees that day.” “And we only had the one day to complete all that. And it’s probably a scene that should have taken three days to shoot. So silly, so absurdist. I think it is really one of the touchstone moments that defines the tone of Anchorman.” “I think Adam and I wanted to create this film where we got to indulge every comedy idea we ever had and follow it all the way through without someone telling us, “No, that scene’s too long,” “No one would ever do that,” “That doesn’t make sense.” We just wanted it to be like, it may not make sense, but it’s just funny.” “I think when people saw that film, they were like, “This feels like someone gave you the keys to a car and you’re 5 years old and you don’t know how to drive.” No one wanted to make it, no one understood why this would be funny. We just felt like we were playing with the house’s money, and let’s just make the craziest film we can, because we may never be allowed to make another movie ever again.”

Daradaily interviewed FayMay #FAYMAYentertainment #fay_riezz #maywyda F: Right now we’ve also started our own company together called FAYMAY Entertainment. Actually, I think we both grew a lot while we were with IDF, and we reached a point where we had grown as much as we could there. So we felt that maybe it would be better to continue on our own together. M: We wanted to try doing something new as FayMay, but in another version of us, one that has grown up. F: Honestly, it’s something very new for us. We have to take care of every system ourselves, and almost 100% of the decisions have to be made by FayMay. But the good thing is that we can decide everything fully. If there’s something we want to do, we can do it. If we come up with an idea and want to make it happen, we can just go ahead and do it. M: Exactly, right? F: It’s like another level. I didn’t think it would happen this fast, but I feel like we’ve learned so many things. M: Yes. You could say that every problem that comes our way becomes something that helps us grow. F: She once told me, “We can go anywhere, as long as we go together.” We understand the situation in many ways, and it made us feel that we still want to stay together, it’s better to keep going together. M: Yes. If you ask whether we could separate, maybe other people could. But for us, we feel that going together, holding hands and moving forward together, might be better… stronger. F: It’s like when something feels right, we don’t want to change it. We don’t want to change it. M: Fay does every role. F: May will be the biggest boss. M: No, no, no. 🤣 F: May will be the final decision maker. If May says no, then it’s no. If May says yes, then it’s yes. I’ll let you be the big boss. M: Let’s say we decide together. But I’ll still be a little… if something feels like it could still be better, or not quite better yet, then yeah… F: But we actually tend to think alike. Most of the time, whether it’s work or anything, we’ll come talk to each other like, “What do you think?” We’ve never even argued. It’s very good. M: Yes. You could say that right now we’ve been given opportunities by many clients who saw us and felt fond of us, so we’re very grateful. F: Honestly, when we first started out, we were very worried about whether we could do it. But… well, we could do it. F: It’s getting better. But like I said, there are new things we never expected coming up every day. So we just keep adjusting. (FayMay talk about work in Shanghai and say they will keep going abroad more and more, waiting for announcements from the company. They also talk about a series that is currently being discussed and is in the process stage. When something becomes clear, they will definitely come out and tell everyone.)

my new song “BREAKDOWN.” is out on the 21st of June!!! 🖤🖤🖤 I wrote this poem because it’s been the hardest year for my mental health. In my life I’ve always never felt good enough, it’s just the thing that’s eaten me up. For as long as I can remember i have felt constantly afraid of how quickly my head can turn dark. It’s always been so hard to fight the darkness that i inevitably have. A lot of people will say it’s a phase and it will go away. But it doesn’t and the reality of the situation is I have to find strategies to deal with it. To put it plainly the things I don’t like about myself will probably never change, people tell me one day I’ll come-to terms with them one day but I want that day to be FUCKING NOW. This song is a message to myself to try and exist alongside my insecurities and my darkness by grounding myself and remembering what is real in life and the world is so much bigger than me. Try and get out of your head and notice the world around you, notice the things and people around you. Connect with them, the chances are they probably feel the same. Don’t let the bullshit inside your head consume you. It just wastes precious time. Remember what is real. Help people, be kind, help the world, help yourself. If you think you can’t do it, you can. You can get through this, trust me. Use this poem in a mornin to get u out of bed, use it when youre about to back out of something last minute, use it when you’re at your darkest. It’s got a little bit of light in it. Don’t forget to put your feet in the grass … Mind

Important Info About Americans Being Scammed By The Food Industry FDA Only Requires Grass Fed Beef To Be Fed Grass The Last 30 Days Of Its Life Things Are Being Labeled “Non-GMO” That Aren’t Even Available As Genetically Modified Just To Up Charge Genetically Modified Food Running Rampant In America & We Wonder Why Everyone’s Sick “Alright. I've had enough. It's time for agriculture lesson of the day, and you need to listen to this one. There are 11 genetically modified organisms that are commercially grown in the United States. What is a net genetically modified organism? A GMO. A lot of people have heard of that. This is straight from the FDA, the list of genetically modified organisms that are grown in the United States. Starts with corn, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, papaya, summer squash, canola, alfalfa, apple, sugar beets, and pink pineapple. You know what's not on that list? Wheat, barley, oranges, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes. So what does this mean as a consumer? It means when you buy something that says non GMO or GMO free on it, it is a no crap kind of thing. Marketing to an uneducated American hoping that they will buy their product that is $3 or $4 more than the alter. That means they are taking money out of your pocket and fooling you and letting you fall into basically a trap. You know another misconception, grass fed beef. You know the FDA regulation for grass fed beef? The last 30 days of its life. That means the cow, calf, bull, whatever is getting slaughtered, it has to be on grass the last 30 days of its life, and that's it. That means its whole entire life, it could be fed grain. It could be fed whatever, But you're still going to pay 5 or $6 more a pound for grass fed beef, which is a complete scam. If you're doing it for health reasons, you're not doing it right because they've been fed grain their whole entire life, except for the last 30 days. Guys, support your local farmers. You don't have to buy off a big organizations because they're marketing and feeding you a bunch of bull ****, and you are falling for it and paying for it. Just keep branching.”

Pete Carroll explains how he responded in real time to the goal-line interception that ended the Seahawks’ Super Bowl “I asked them, 'how many guys think it's the greatest thing in the world to win the superbowl? Raise your hand.' A bunch of them raised their hand. Then I asked, 'how many think it's the greatest thing to come back and win it again?' They didn't know what to do with that..” “Show that you can do it again. Show that you’re real. Show that no matter what happens, you can still be you to the freaking moment.” “You guys were so mad at me. So pissed. Hurt. But that play just happened. It wasn’t by design. There was no foreshadowing. No intent. No agenda. That play just happened.” “We had one timeout. So as soon as we got to the goal line I'm saying, one of these plays, we’re going to have to throw it to get all four plays. I'm always trying to make sure we get all four shots.” “We run the first play, the Patriots were late and sent in the goal line team, we had already sent in '11', so we we're in '11' versus their goal line team. So that went through the play callers thought process. That's what led to throwing it on that down. If we gotta throw one of these downs, so we get all our chances...” “We had practiced it a million times. I was rock solid on the philosophy of it. It wasn’t by design. There was no agenda. It was just the way we had prepared. It was the worst play that could ever happen. It turned all of that so dark, so instantly.” “I thought, ‘I’ve got to take this.’ This is one of those moments that you prepare for. You’ve got to be the epitome of poise. Handle it. Deal with it. Own it.” “There’s nothing you can say that’s going to put it any other place. It was as catastrophic as any moment could be.”
