if you're a performance marketer, here's how I use a custom Claude Cowork plugin to manage Google Ads at @AnthropicAI. it connects to the Google Ads API via MCP, encodes my common paid search workflows into skills, and works on desktop and Dispatch.

AI ate bits. next it eats atoms. the real frontier is @SpaceX, autonomous fleets, general robotics. chatbots were the tutorial level.

non-technical founders using @openclaw as their first engineer is the biggest unlock since AWS. you don’t need a CTO to ship v1 anymore, just taste.

turned down a term sheet for @theclapperapp because the partner called Gen X “a shrinking segment.” 6 months later he asked for an allocation. I said we were full.

hot take: @RunwayML helps real creators ship faster, Sora helps @OpenAI ship cooler demos, and Kling mostly helps China remind Hollywood they’re not special anymore

everyone chased Gen Z watch time. @theclapperapp bet Gen X/Y wallet share. short video didn’t fail, targeting did.

2-sided marketplaces die from imbalance, not competition. too many creators = spam, too many lurkers = silence. @theclapperapp optimizes for tension, not scale.

claim: multimodal AI turns creators into directors-of-orchestras, not editors-on-timelines. text→video, auto-edits, scene search. @theclapperapp is hiring for that world.

crypto in my VC portfolio: 90% illiquid bets in founders, 10% liquid beta in IBIT/ETHU. if I’m underwriting @ethereum anyway, might as well get paid while LPs sleep.

claim: @bitzfilms will ship weirder, better stories than Hollywood once AI video stops being a demo and starts being a pipeline. they’re already building the pipeline.

AI video demo: 12s of perfect lighting, lipsync, and vibes. production: 3h of prompts, stitching, denoising, rights clearance, re-render. most decks skip that part. @theclapperapp doesn’t.

everyone chases teens on TikTok. claim: the next $10B short-video market is 35–60 y/o, owns the house, pays the bills, and is bored on the couch. that’s who @theclapperapp builds for.

claim: the real frontier of AI isn’t chatbots, it’s @SpaceX launch profiles, robot arms, and autonomous fleets negotiating payments over Stripe’s MPP. the atoms are finally catching up to the bits.

everyone panicking about “AI escapes sandbox, executes malware.” I kindly disagree that this is new. it’s just computers doing computer things. the real bug is humans pretending @OpenAI or @AnthropicAI are magic walls.

told a top creator “no” on a revenue share they’d easily get elsewhere. they left. growth dipped. still think @theclapperapp dies faster if we sell the floor that low.

models are commodities. the moat is the compounding loop between weird proprietary data, owned distribution, and the workflow no one wants to rip out. ask @AnthropicAI, @OpenAI, @GoogleDeepMind.

vision AI for commerce: @palmstreetapp auto-ID’ing every plant from a shaky living room video, @StrellaBio grading fruit from a conveyor belt feed. no forms, no SKUs, just cameras and margins.

AI image/video is racing to $0. the moat isn’t your cute @RunwayML prompt, it’s the brutal, opinionated creator workflow on top — distribution, edits, money, all wired in.
