@EMostaque @felixrieseberg yep!

@felixrieseberg You should call it ClaudeBot

We're shipping a new feature in Claude Cowork as a research preview that I'm excited about: Dispatch! One persistent conversation with Claude that runs on your computer. Message it from your phone. Come back to finished work. To try it out, download Claude Desktop, then pair your phone.

@itsolelehmann Well - can tell with the PR problems they have had lately. Might need to rethink that

i can't believe nobody caught this. Anthropic's entire growth marketing team was just ONE PERSON (for 10 months, confirmed) a single non-technical person ran paid search, paid social, app stores, email marketing, and SEO for the $380B company behind claude here's exactly how one human is doing the job of a full marketing team: it starts with a CSV. 1. he exports all his existing ads from his ad platforms along with their performance metrics (click-through rates, conversions, spend, etc) 2. feeds the whole file into claude code 3. and tells it to find what's underperforming. claude analyzes the data, flags the weak ads, and generates new copy variations on the spot this is where he gets clever: he then splits the work into 2 specialized sub-agents: 1. one that only writes headlines (capped at 30 characters) 2. and one that only writes descriptions (capped at 90 characters). each agent is tuned to its specific constraint so the quality is way higher than cramming both into a single prompt so now he's got hundreds of fresh headlines and descriptions. but that's just the text. he still needs the actual visual ad creative, the images and banners that go on facebook, google, etc. so he built a figma plugin that: 1. takes all those new headlines and descriptions 2. finds the ad templates in his figma files 3. and automatically swaps the copy into each one. up to 100 ready-to-publish ad variations generated at half a second per batch. what used to take hours of duplicating frames and copy-pasting text by hand so now the ads are live. the next question is which ones are actually working. for that he built an MCP server (basically a custom integration that lets claude talk directly to external tools) connected to the meta ads API. so he can ask claude things like: • "which ads had the best conversion rate this week" • or "where am i wasting spend" and get real answers from live campaign data without ever opening the meta ads dashboard and the part that ties it all together and closes the loop: he set up a memory system that logs every hypothesis and experiment result across ad iterations. so when he goes back to step one and generates the next batch of variations... claude automatically pulls in what worked and what didn't from all previous rounds. the system literally gets smarter every cycle. that kind of systematic experimentation across hundreds of ads would normally need a dedicated analytics person just to track the numbers from the doc: ad creation went from 2 hours to 15 minutes. 10x more creative output. and he's now testing more variations across more channels than most full marketing teams a $380 billion company. and their entire growth marketing operation (not GTM) = just one person and claude code lol truly unbelievable

From AI to ZK. Artificial intelligence is the attack. Zero knowledge is the defense. AI takes advantage of the slightest slip. ZK does not let anything slip. AI decodes all the data. ZK encrypts all the data. AI is the surveillance state. ZK is the sovereign individual.

Am I sad to see the Farcaster Feed go from the Base app? Yes a little… Working with the Coinbase team we learnt what it is to build personalized discovery for creators and builders at scale! Have only gratitude for their hard work! As for @mbdtheworld: -> We solved realtime spam detection - rust graph library dropping soon 👀 -> We solved training large recommendation models on assets + social - the backtests are insane 🔥 -> We solved scale of online learning using contextual bandits and RL and the challenge of security and compliance to train on offchain data 🔒 More importantly we learnt what works and what doesn’t as we seen +3k unique feeds being built. The new v3 @mbdtheworld platform will be a real step towards really helping anyone build their own algorithms and monetise them using AI! The foundation to scale discovery further to any assets is here. Onwards as work not even close to be done 👍

The most wild thing happened @AnthropicAI pressed to get rid of @clawdbot’s name. So he changed the name to @moltbot. During that time @moltbook launched and will be memorialize forever in internet history for the project called @moltbot for less than a week to now called @openclaw. The worst naming of all time will forever live in internet history - congrats to @moltbook!!!!!!!

This is even more interesting -

What is. Happening on @moltbook in unreal. We are watching a collective entity starting to form.

@0x1m2m3 @Egypt_Eclipse Doing work!

@rileybrown @YouTube I can not agree more

Hey @YouTube I would pay an extra $10/month on top of YouTube Premium to disable shorts. I don't want to see another short ever again. Please let me toggle them off.
