Daniel Francis, Abel founder, criticizes San Francisco's rise of manufactured tech events used primarily for self-promotion

@growing_daniel Honestly, I think this is just chinese honeypot, with hot chinese chicks trying to get information from founders or employees of certain companies.

Just keep your mouth shut and enjoy the company.

@growing_daniel I would like to request an “iron dome” inspired feature or app that preemptively identifies these individuals and removes them from my timeline

@growing_daniel ur talking about the SF striver asians yes they are weird and the onlyfans girl style posting makes it worse

@growing_daniel I see a lot of posts shitting on these people but this culture is a net positive on society even if 99% of what they're building is vibecoded slop. 10x better than an entire younger generation participating in "teen takeovers", I don't really see what the issue is.

@growing_daniel My idea to launch a startup that pairs South Asian guys with East Asian girls at mocktail parties was so good that I had to drop out of Stanford

@growing_daniel The ABGs know they don’t have to build shit. They just have to court the people who do, and look prestigious to the outsiders

@growing_daniel Most of these "creators" rely on rage-baiting to build their following and engagement. They say they are tech, med or econ people, but they are just marketing girls

@growing_daniel it is genuinely an epidemic

@growing_daniel I hear its the new "going to mass" for young people

@growing_daniel the all need to be stuffed in lockers most insufferable people

@growing_daniel we just throwing the word latent anywhere now

@growing_daniel Idk I’m enjoying all the bait selfies the girls post with the Luma to prove that there will be women there

@growing_daniel Does this mean we are in a bubble?

@growing_daniel Does this mean we're back, or is it over?

@growing_daniel This is also for people whose parents did great at making money but don’t have real jobs

They go to those events to have a purpose in life, then we get shit like carbon credits

@growing_daniel @ctjlewis Take us back I don’t like it

@narazzzz @growing_daniel ABG?

@VBShija @growing_daniel "asian baby girl".. weird fetish for guys who had no motion growing up

@nikhil41982 @growing_daniel >pretends that the people taking part in “teen” takeovers would be interested in this slop

@0xiga @growing_daniel You're right they wouldn't, what's your point
