This is a similar timeline for the Drift (Salesloft) hack. I wonder if this was the strategy that was used to gain access to Saleslofts Github since the image on the article shows they were scanning for Creds.

No problem! Thanks! It's something I have been researching for a while, and has really benefited me. It's different for everyone, but has had a impact on me, and then leads to other dietary changes that can lead to more change.

Spirulina is a source of choline, I never stated it was a main source. I fully understand the benefits of the supplement, and have read many studies on it.

I stated the supplement has choline and has helped with my anxiety. I never stated it was a main source of choline.

I agree, from what I have found in studies for anyone that have autoimmune diseases or are on heavy medications, it can make them worse. Thats been the main area that have been the negative impact of the supplement.

It's something that should be watched as you take it and/or discussed with a doctor if you are dealing with other health conditions.

Yeah for sure, this is what I buy on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAB10ZI) and the dosage depends on what you are experiencing. I was doubling my dosage, but have lowered it back to the recommended dosage on the package (10 pills, they are tiny). I have also taken the powered version but the umami taste is really strong, so I went back to the pill version.

I like to take it with Psyllium Husk Fiber / Metamucil to help increase the fiber in my diet since the higher dosage is like eating a lot of kale at one time, it can move through you super quickly.

Here are some studies that I commented before that I have read that has helped with learning more about the supplements and the dosages depending on what you are experiencing:

- High-dose supplementation of Chlorella and Spirulina increases beneficial gut Bacteria in healthy ICR mice: A 90-day feeding study (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2025.106796)

- Spirulina in Clinical Practice: Evidence-Based Human Applications (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3136577/)

- Effect of spirulina and chlorella alone and combined on the healing process of diabetic wounds: an experimental model of diabetic rats (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8212205/)

- Beneficial Effects of Spirulina Consumption on Brain Health ( https://doi.org/10.3390/nu14030676) This is a new study that I found, that I'm going to read, but it shows the impact on neuroinflammation, and from experience the supplement has helped me with inflammation, and why I think it has helped with my ADHD/Anxiety.

A supplement that I take and comment about frequently is (Spirulina & Chorella), this is a study that shows the level of choline in Spirulina. Improving my diet and using a supplement like algae has had the most impact on my anxiety levels and focus.

Mindfulness meditation also helps with consistent action to understand where my mind and body are at each day.

I'm not the original commenter, but it stands for macronutrients. The breakdown of the daily intake of food by understanding the protein, carbs, fats, and fiber.

I thought the same thing! My mom used it when I was younger, and I always passed on trying it because of that random memory and association.

I just got past the Metamucil to plain psyllium husk. I felt the plain version was going to taste bad, but it was just plain and not sugary. It's funny the concepts that can lead to certain small behaviors.

This is a really good callout. I think trying different types helps to see what works best for you and to fit into your lifestyle.

I also have plain psyllium husk, and I avoided it because I liked the sugar of the Metamucil. But I have been focusing on lowering my sugar, so I'm switching to the plain psyllium husk, and it's just as easy to drink; it was really a little mental game of how it would taste, haha.

I do, and when I actively and consistently take Metamucil or a psyllium husk, it has helped. I recently stopped because I ran out and forgot to buy more, and I have noticed the heartburn again.

Super interesting to read! I have noticed a huge benefit from just adding Metamucil to my diet. The following lines from the article really resonate.

>Insoluble fibers have fecal-bulking characteristics that may promote regular bowel movements and avoid constipation.

>"Specifically, soluble fiber binds to bile acids in the intestine"

I have started to take Metamucil more frequently because I was taking an algae supplement, Spirulina & Chlorella, and it was moving through me so fast because I noticed I had no bulk from a low fiber diet. It made a huge improvement in bulking and slowed my bowel movements.

I also noticed before adding the fiber that I just would feel acidic, rude, or short-tempered in a different way, and my stomach was really acidic. Adding the fiber really did help, and it's cool to see articles and research backing it up.

The "AI Ick" seems to be everywhere. People are more eager to judge than to take the time to actually review anything, and will just say it's AI-generated. It's become an easy, low-effort criticism.

Social media seems to have warped behavior patterns. You quoted people seeing AI content more on social media than anything. People's addiction to social media is leading to skimming or continuously scrolling of content, assuming it's AI-generated because they can't concentrate long enough to actually read it, and then move on or continue the pattern of behavior that they are hypnotized by.

There's just a rush to give an opinion. The em dash is a criticism I have seen on LinkedIn a lot. But also, this behavior of calling people out instead of discussing anything is directly linked to social media and constant scrolling.

Social media and the platforms are the problem. Corporations need users to have behaviors that drive their profits. It's the corporations, not the tools!

Corps are starting to use the idea that ads are human-made when it was made by AI. People are easily marketed to and fall into the traps regardless.

Corporations take away and kill creativity and force effort.

AI is not going to take away Human Creativity or Effort; it will enhance it and give access to others. Humans who take the time and effort to be creative will always be; the others will continue down the road they are headed.

This is from some research that shows spirulina can absorb toxins, and then when I take Metamucil, it helps to slow my body's processing of the supplement.

What I have noticed is that the increase in nutrients will go through me super fast since I have a lower fiber diet, but when I have taken it with Metamucil, the fiber increase really slows down my bodily function. I figured if the algae is moving more slowly, it should also be able to have a higher absorption rate since it stays in my body longer.

- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32749124/ - This research paper talks about how spirulina has been shown to help with Heavy-Metal Toxicity.

It's such a powerful supplement, and really interesting to learn about.

I would say taking a supplement like Spirulina and Chlorella is a start; there is research showing the benefits: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8212205/

This is a simple behavior shift; it can help people begin making other behavior changes to help improve their health overall.

Something that has really helped with inflammation and improved my diet is a Spirulina and Chlorella algae supplement. I take it with Metamucil to help with absorption in the intestines as well. If you use the powder version, Metamucil covers up the umami taste, but the tablets are tasteless.

Here are some studies to back it up: - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8212205/ - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3136577/ - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2025.106796

This is what I buy from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAB10ZI?th=1

1 hour on writing the code, and then 30 minutes on testing. There were 3 tests in the class, the project isn't large, ~200 lines of code, and the point is that the team that deployed it failed to provide this.

It's not complicated; it's a failure in process and work that they are required to provide based on their Salesforce Partner agreements, and to meet minimum standards.

I already stated the language; it's written in Salesforce APEX. Yes, the code was reviewed and passed all tests within Salesforce as well.

Salesforce partners often upload "Dummy" test methods or fail to provide the test classes, as this requires additional time. It's more a reflection on the partner than the individual programmer, since I've been in the industry, I know that devs are thrown onto multiple projects at once.

However, with Agents, you can reduce that time. Nevertheless, companies are still failing to do even that. So that is why I think corporations are pushing for more agents; the basics are being skipped because the teams working on it don't have the time.

The push for Agentic models is because people aren't working or they are failing to complete what they are contractually obligated to.

I'm working with a client who has APEX code with 0% test coverage. The last consultant company deployed APEX without any test classes. That is a failure on the Salesforce partner, since you need test classes if you want to update any APEX code, and it leaves the client with more work and more costs.

I used AI to write 100% test coverage in less than 1 hour. I had to give it direction because the first implementation was not to the Salesforce Dev Test Standards. So I downloaded the SFDC Developer PDF guides on APEX and gave it to AI Studio, and was able to write the test classes correctly.

Agents will do what they are programmed and prompted to do, and this is really why corporations are moving in that direction.

I agree with you here. I'm a solo founder who is self-funding and have been able to apply gen AI for any task and have been building all the products that I need to get things done. I have my basic PM tools and CRM, but everything else I'm building and making them dumb so I can validate as fast as possible.

I think larger Enterprises are not as efficient and can't get their teams to consistently and effectively communicate how and what their process is with using AI. Unless they are extremely organized.

You can find those founders on LinkedIn.

Here are some of the studies that I have been reading to back up my 'research', but I realized I didn't include anything after, so you are not wrong.

> Study - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7995246/ > Study - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6309508/

I have some others that I'm reading that I can also share if you are interested.

This is the spirulina I have been taking: https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Chlorella-Spirulina-250-Table...

I started taking it over 8 years ago, took a break for a year, and then restarted by taking 2 doses and another later in the afternoon if I ran earlier. I can sweat heavily and will sweat out amino acids.

I’m not backing that comment claim, but from recent research I’ve been doing.

My ADHD brain is lacking non-essential and essential amino acids/minerals,I think that comment stated the brain then rewires to compensate for the lack of nutrients. Thats what I’m taking.

I’ve been taking Spirulina as my booster to help fill in my nutrition deficiencies and then I’ve been feeling better leading me to get past the anxiety and rumination.

Richard Feynman wrote about it, that you can be hypothesized and want to do something and know you can, but you don’t or just can’t.

The article is great. One thing I’ve been doing is trying to make Arts and Crafts again.

I’m starting to incorporate Ai and my family to show what we can do. Then it’s starting to lead to everyone documenting their days with voice notes and more conversations

I don't think Gary Marcus is necessarily a naysayer; I take it that he is trying to get people to be mindful of the current AI tooling and its capabilities, and that there is more to do before we say it is what it is being marketed as. Like, GPT5 seems to be an additional feature layer of game theory examples. Check LinkedIn for how people think it behaves, and you can see patterns. But they market it as much more.

> Attack the Person, Not the Science

This article and this quote are something I have also noticed recently.

I've been working on researching AI and trying to visualize more data structures to help connect ideas, and I want to bounce ideas off of people to make sure I'm truly comprehending things. I've been trying to have conversations to talk more in depth, but I haven't been able to get anyone to read a research paper. That doesn't stop anyone from telling me something about what I have been researching without reading the research or comprehending it. Everyone feels empowered with AI. But when asked to debate the merits of their ideas, everyone I have asked has said people won't stick to the debate. I think you pointed it out clearly. People can't debate a topic they truly don't know.

I agree with your opinion. This statement you called out, “Reads all tokens at once.”, shows the misunderstanding, and then the document header formatting shows/proves the lack of attention used.

The headers go from numbered to having just 1 section with a sub-number. Section 3 has 3.1-3.4, and then the next section doesn't follow it.

I noticed this when doing large-scale LaTeX documentation builds if you are not explicit about the formatting. The well-scaffolded build falls apart since the token count is too high, and a proper batch process is not in place, or the prompt is vague. "Use clear headings and bullet points" is not precise. Depending on your document type, you need to state all requirements to design with attention.

A process I’ve been following for a genealogy project is to scan with iPhone, or use a webcam on your computer, organize photos into pdf, upload pdf to ai studio to ocr and transcribe, and then I will convert that to a Latex document for a cleanly formatted text based version.

You are right, it is more of an LLM workflow.

The workflows can be easily updated to be an agent, the scan already creates sales opportunities for me and can be updated to create messages based on active email campaigns that I have created.

This is helpful, thanks for sharing that.

I've created agents for the following:

- ICP / Sales Agent: I hired an offshore resource and built a GPT that they can send titles and other identifiers to, and it would say if it was in our ICP or not. I created it for a specific process that has outlined steps and FAQ from that person on things they have encountered, I plan on adding more questions and answers. This was super helpful on saving time on answering questions about titles / improving the results of their work.

- Domain Policy Scan (SPF, DKIM, DMARC): I scan domains and find SPF records and then use an Agent and a prompt to break out all the system tokens from the SPF to understand the systems companies are using. The prompt is a consent work in progress, but I have it done to be really consistent

Both have been really helpful to my overall workflow.

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking, too. Companies are focused internally on their security, while their customers are consistently targeted with no actionable support.

It would take a lot to be able to doxx, most are using anonymous servers and clean of any direct connection, but causing them pain could show some cracks

Break it down into manageable chunks. Do you have things documented?

I felt this way at first when I was doing my lead generation. I documented the process and brought on someone from the Philippines. I then ran into a similar situation where there were a lot of questions that I couldn't spend my time on. So, I built a GPT to help answer questions and to build another me to help them. This was simple and saved a ton of time.

Reflect on the tasks you are doing and pass off the work that you don't want to do first. Start small and continue passing off more work. You can hire a virtual assistant for $5-8 an hour, and it's beneficial to have some basic support. I also helped motivate someone who needed work.

It doesn't take much effort, let me know if you have questions on the tools and documents you would need to support something like this. I can share what I used.
