She explains how to navigate this new reality in all its forms — and why you should reject the idea that your appearance dictates your worth.

    i don’t know why this book is so hard to find, but after finally getting Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, i get why they don’t want this out there. it breaks down exactly why most people stay stuck, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. since reading it, my whole life has shifted. the secrets inside are worth the effort.

    • @estt6879

      February 12, 2025 at 7:10 am

      so why you and your other friend who commented here have both user names with an ending number? coincidence? i don’t think so. user accounts made by bot to promote this Vibration book

  18. @devchandbhil3056

    February 10, 2025 at 1:24 pm

    ever notice how some books just disappear? Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane isn’t easy to find, and now i understand why. the things it reveals about energy and attraction? insane. i thought i was just “unlucky” until i applied what it teaches. within weeks, my finances flipped, and i stopped chasing things—now they come to me

    spent way too long searching for Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and now i know why it keeps disappearing. this isn’t some basic “think positive” book—it actually explains why some people attract everything while others stay stuck. applied just one thing from it, and my results changed fast. if you can find it, don’t sleep on it.

  28. @ms9001

    February 11, 2025 at 12:03 am

    your actual face? did you put makeup? how about show us your REAL face? show us a close up of your face without any makeup.
    you can embrace different looks all you want but when you go on dating app or even real life, you will see reality hits you hard. people just ghost you, ditch you after they see your real face. it’s already doomed.

LLMs may have kicked off this AI boom, but the ceiling is closer than the hype suggests. As models run out of text data to train on, the companies and investors paying attention are already moving on. The next wave isn’t better chatbots; it’s machines that can understand the physical world. Luma AI, the Bay Area lab that raised over $1.4 billion from a16z, Nvidia, and Amazon, is betting on exactly that.

On episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, we’re bringing you a conversation Rebecca Bellan sat down with Amit Jain, co-founder and CEO of Luma AI, at Web Summit Qatar. Together, the pair dug into where the next trillion-dollar AI opportunity actually gets built, and whether the companies chasing it even know what they’re building yet.
