  Shoshana Weissmann, Sloth Committee Chair 🦥 (@senatorshoshana) reported 6 minutes ago

  Yesterday I focused on one app. Today I want to show how much every platform that you wouldn't expect is included in the Illinois "social media" tax will have to pay [see math at bottom, some rough estimates] Gmail: $24,060,000/year Strava: $312,000 Goodreads: $312,000 Tripadvisor: $47,820,000 Proton email (EXEMPT bc nonprofit): $600,000 Math: each takes from est U.S. monthly users, Illinois has 12.6M people, US 350. So x/[monthly US users] * 12.6/350, then following math from bill [in screenshot] For apps like Gmail to collect user data regardless of monthly login (assume people get emails/have app on their phone/privacy policy makes this likely) I assume accordingly. Remember—it's charged NOT per monthly active user but per "the number of Illinois users from whom the social media platform collects data within a month." Full math: Gmail - Montly active US users:130000000, IL users:4680000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:2005000, Cost for IL law/Year:24060000 Proton - Montly active US users:15000000, IL users:540000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:50000, Cost for IL law/Year:600000 notes: (VERY rough estimate) Strava - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: 50M monthly, 20% in US Goodreads - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: (ROUGH ballpark based on avail data, 50M monthly active, 20% in US) TripAdvisor - Montly active US users:240000000, IL users:8640000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:3985000, Cost for IL law/Year:47820000 notes: 400M montly active US users, US Accounts for 60%ish

  So what actually happens when you send an email? Apple Mail preloads every single email, opened or not, which fires your tracking pixel. Gmail sometimes does the same thing, depending on the day, how the algorithm feels, who you're sending to, and what the monkeys are up to. Ad blockers kill the pixel entirely for a huge chunk of your list. And the list goes on. So that open rate in your dashboard? It's not a headcount of humans who read your email. It never was. It never was. It hasn't been for over a decade. I've watched people make genuinely bad decisions trying to optimize a number that was never clean to begin with. With open rates, you're not reading a count. You're reading a shape. What do I mean by that? If your open rate runs around forty percent and then one week it drops to eight, something changed. A deliverability issue. A subject line that missed. A segment that tuned out. You don't need the number to be precise to know something broke. Same thing in the other direction. A spike might mean a great subject line. Or it might mean Apple preloaded a big batch. So you investigate. You don't celebrate it. The metric becomes useful when you stop treating it like a fact and start treating it like a signal. Watch the trend. Know your baseline. Then you can act when the shape changes. That's it.

  instant VC rejection signals (stop wasting your time): - you make empty claims. No numbers, no proof = no credibility. - you ask for an NDA before sharing your deck. Signals inexperience. - your pitch deck has an outdated date. Signals you’ve been fundraising too long. - your market size (SAM) is over $100B. Too broad, VCs assume your numbers are wrong. - your market is too small (SAM < $1B). No VC-scale exit potential. - “we have no competition.” - founders own less than 50% after Series A. Low ownership = weak long-term incentives. - dead equity on your cap table. Bad early deals = no room for employees or future rounds. - your market size is expressed in volume, not value. VCs think in $$, not in units. - you’re not a Delaware C-Corp (or VC-friendly entity). Legal structure matters. - no technical co-founder. No CTO? No funding (for tech startups). - you want to sell to “everyone.” No clear ICP = no focus = no investment. - you talk about exits too early. If you’re pre-seed, focus on building, not selling. - your deck is full of jargon. “Disruption,” “transformation,” “game-changer” = auto-reject. - you exaggerate traction. If investors dig and find out, you’re done. - you’re using a Gmail/Hotmail email. Get a professional domain email. - you can’t estimate CAC/LTV. If you don’t know your unit economics, you’re not ready. - you’re slow to reply to emails. Speed = execution. Slow response = weak founder. - your GTM strategy is just a list of channels. No clear funnel = no go. - your round terms are off-market. Investors expect valuations in a certain range. - you’re raising for less than 18 months or more than 24 months of runway. Too little = risky, too much = over-optimistic. - talking “equity” and “valuation” at pre-seed. Pre-seed rounds = SAFEs, not priced equity. - you can’t handle rejection. VCs talk, don’t burn bridges. - you’re building in a cold market. Some sectors just aren’t getting funded right now. - no “unfair advantage.” If anyone can copy you, why should VCs bet on you? - you’re a Forbes 30 Under 30. 🚩 Investors know PR ≠ success. - your deck is circulating without investor engagement. If no one's biting, something's off. what else?

  @examaddaorg Meta, neverever; Google never except drive and gmail but never trust for important data and communication, MS some (if it is on Exchange server, some) not much or less than Google. Apple never; Amazon and Notion are never used. And I trust none of the AI, they are data thieves.

  A 22-YEAR-OLD FROM LONDON CLOSED A DEAL ON AN AI AGENT TEAM WITH ZERO DEVELOPERS ON HER TEAM. CLIENT SIGNED THE CONTRACT. SYSTEM RUNS ITSELF. she is not a programmer. not technical. has no team. but she has four agents and one pipeline that does what others pay $370,000 a year for. agent 1 scrapes google maps and instagram while she sleeps. leads are already in the system by morning. agent 2 creates a personalized plan and mockup for every potential client. automatically. no human involved. agent 3 writes a personal outreach email for each lead and drops a ready draft directly into the client's gmail. agent 4 coordinates the work of all three. tracks the status of every lead. signals when a human is needed. the rest of the time - full autopilot. she did not write code. she made a proposal. negotiated the terms. got the contract signed. claude code did everything else. most businesses still keep people on tasks that require no decisions - only execution. lead generation. cold outreach. personalized mockups. emails. anything with a clear algorithm AI closes better. faster. without errors from exhaustion. and while a competitor waits for a reply from a junior - her system already sent its hundredth email today.

  Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

  I agree but just banning the google search engine is a useless move. the main issue is that you need gmail for everything. no one is banning gmail, because no one can.
