Pizza problem.
Is pizza the best food in the world? At least, it's the universal food that people can eat everywhere in the world.
If aliens come to the Earth, what food will we give them as a representative food?
Pastas in the US are made of foreign ingredients. It's called "foreign noodle"? Carlos experienced it when he was in Shanghai.

How to follow other people on Amazon?
He gets free stuff from makers sometime and writer a review about it after using it for a while.
Kei joined the Amazon program around half a year ago, but he hasn't been receiving any free stuff. Is that because he writes reviews about books only?

Thank you for insightful, useful, and deep feedback 🙇♂️

Source of content
Actual content
He wants to use Atomic graph to see who he should pay attention to.

Glasp will become a writing and publishing platform? • Carlos’s newsletter: https://carloscfranco.substack.com/ • Carlos uses iAwriter: https://ia.net/writer • Ron thinks that it’s fascinating if Glasp is going to be a publisher platform.
Ron uses Linkedin a lot. • It’s an ecosystem. • For both sales, business development, interaction, and discovery of content. • Glasp is an unique ecosystem that people are doing something without publishing.
Substack and Medium are competing each other in terms of # of followers, # of impressions, etc. • Glasp is a natural community. • People don’t need to compete each other. • Use Glasp as their workspace. Publish content on Glasp if they want. And go to Substack or Medium if they want.
Do you think you can see people’s characteristics, personality, and minds by looking at their Glasp profile? • Carlos thinks so. • If he goes to Heidi’s profile page, he can see what her next article.
Tagging • Ron wants to see who are the people highlighting contents based upon his interests. • Glasp can recommend people based on the tag on the Atomic Graph. • If he goes to the highlighted article, based on the most used tag, it recognizes the types of the article. And Glasp can recommend people using that tag a lot and frequently.
What’s the algorithm of the Home feed? • Popular? Time frame? • Robert Scoble • https://twitter.com/Scobleizer • https://scobleizer.blog/

Paulo reads a book. It’s about knowing the origin of you and seeing the future direction.
Esteban starts using Tana. They have atomic graph feature :) He likes the tag of Roam Research.
Glasp will make a feature of tagging with AI. It’s backend. We can show the recommended content.
Dark mode Esha uses dark mode, but when she takes notes, she uses dark mode. Carlos uses dark mode when he’s reading at night. So as not to disturb his partner.

Generative AI is very hot recently.
ChatGPT Carlos uses ChatGPT this morning.
Ron started a company to sell a computer in 1979.
Kazuki let ChatGPT write a book about fantasy and they kept writing 6,000 words... The content was really impressive.
https://twitter.com/RamaswmySridhar/status/1600209221458399233
Askjeeves! - Search engine. Brandon’s favorite.
When Google was launched Ron’s insight: They did pretty well at behavioral things like how do people react? Ranking, CTR, etc.
Books Hook (Estaban) Fast and slow (Carlos) The Seep (Carlos) The Three-Body Problem (Carlos) Foundation series (Estaban) Foundation series Esha read this book in a part of high school class.
