I have a WhatsApp community of ~1000 AI practitioners in Mexico City and we're experiencing growing pains.
We share lots of alpha, shoot the shit, share updates on news in AI, post personal projects and wins. We maybe interface in person once a month at a tentpole event hosted by Cursor, v0, etc.
Feels like we've officially outgrown wapp as a place to host our digital community. It's becoming high noise low signal. We don't want Discord as we'd lose many in the migration, and I personally don't want to run a Discord. Wapp is super light maintenance.
Are there any good alternatives? I considered Slack but the pricing is insane. Telegram doesn't seem to meaningfully solve our core issues.
Nice to haves:
- threading for deeper conversation
- multiple channels for message categorization
- live calls would be fun and an organic way for people to casually get together online

i made a 3-day Claude Cowork for Beginners course, and it's yours for free
by the end, you'll have a personalized AI teammate on your computer that:
• knows your style
• connects to your tools
• and produces finished work you can send immediately
here's what you get:
day 1: install cowork, set global instructions, and run your first real task (15 min)
day 2: workflows that replaced hours of my week, including building landing pages from a description and running full competitive analyses in one prompt
day 3: skills, plugins, and connectors so cowork actually knows how you work and can access your tools
+ copy-paste prompts so you can follow along as you read
like + comment "COWORK" and i'll DM it to you

2.9M views. 6k followers. all in one day. wtf.
Karpathy just called my agent swarm setup "brilliant or severe AI psychosis." my wife said it's both.
a lot of you just got here. so this is my full story:
I have a 4-year-old and 6-month-old. I'm a solo founder building a SaaS that competes with companies with hundreds of employees.
but this isn't a hustle story.
I watched too many people sacrifice their lives for someone else's exit. miss their kids growing up to hit arbitrary revenue milestones.
I was that kid.
I'm not doing that to mine.
my rule is simple: business supports life. not the other way around.
everything I build has to pass one test: does this give me more time with my family, or less?
AI give me more. I can take a walk after a customer call. come back to PRs ready for review. ship features same-day. be present for bath time and the small moments that disappear if you're not paying attention.
> that's the how. and here's the why:
good ideas die in silence every day because the people who have them can't afford to be heard.
the PR infrastructure is broken. big incumbents like Cision and Muck Rack charge $10k/year just to access their journalist database. these are table-stakes tools - you need them just to know who to email.
so what happens? funded startups get coverage. bootstrapped founders stay invisible.
corporations control the stories that get told. rich people pay their way out of the ones that shouldn't.
freedom of speech is a nice concept. but freedom of reach? that costs money that most people don't have.
I've watched founders with incredible products struggle to get a single piece of coverage while well-funded competitors with mediocre ideas land in techcrunch.
this whole system is a paywall built to extract rent at every step.
I'm tearing down that wall.
> so here's what we're building
the whole industry is broken. not just the gatekeepers - the entire system.
journalists get 300+ pitches a day. most of it is spam. they're drowning, so they ignore everything. PR people respond by blasting 1,000+ journalists and praying for one reply. which creates more spam. which makes journalists ignore even more.
it's an arms race to the bottom. everyone loses.
the AI tools that exist? built to spam harder. "relentless follow-ups." "scale your outreach 10x." nobody stopped to ask if that was the problem in the first place.
what if we point AI in the opposite direction.
not "send more pitches faster" - but "find the 10 journalists who'd actually care."
- for founders: get the same quality of outreach that funded companies buy, without the $15k/month agency retainer.
- for agencies: stop burning hours on research. handle more clients without burning out your team. turn expertise into leverage with AI.
- for journalists: fewer pitches. better ones. from people with stories actually worth covering.
the big spam factories aren't going to like this. everyone else will.
> what I believe
one person with AI can now compete with teams of 100. not a prediction. I'm doing it.
the world is splitting in two.
on one side: specialists getting more specialized, protecting smaller slices of expertise, competing for jobs that are slowly disappearing.
on the other side: generalists getting more powerful, building bigger visions with smaller teams, creating the jobs.
I'm a generalist. I can code and market and sell and iterate.
most people see that as lack of focus. I see it as my unfair advantage.
the specialist uses AI to go deeper into their specialty. the generalist uses AI to become unstoppable.
> not a unicorn
I'm not trying to raise a series a. I'm not optimizing for an exit.
I want three things:
- location freedom: work from anywhere with a laptop and wifi
- time freedom: control my schedule. no one tells me when to show up
- financial freedom: never take a job I don't want. never compromise my values for a paycheck
the path to all three: bootstrapped, profitable, sustainable.
no VC telling me to 10x in 18 months. no board diluting my vision. no boss questioning my decisions.
just me and zoe.
my skills.
my choices.
most people see that as limiting. I see it as the whole point.
> follow along
I'm documenting everything. the wins, the failures, building in public while the world figures out what AI actually means.
no course to sell. no community to upsell. just a guy with two kids building something real.
if you're someone with a story worth telling - you're exactly who I'm building for.
the playbook is being rewritten in real time.
might as well write your own chapter.

@Gossip_Goblin Lmao. Is that the second punic war? Roman empire vs cartage 😂

@onchainmo no way you are paying 50 bucks while using opus 24 hrs per day. What am I missing?

I was one of those people who thought vibe coding etc was overrated.
Until I finally set up my Clawdbot today.
The fact that you can have a reliable and competent personal assistant 24/7 for under $50/month is insane.
I genuinely think that just with the tools it built for me on day one, I can cut my daily work time from 40 minutes to 20 minutes.
Setting it up on a VPS with a tutorial literally takes 30 minutes.
Not doing it is honestly just dumb.
Don't be lazy, it is worth it.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.
That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

A bunch of you asked about our Remotion setup after the article.
It's now open-source: github.com/trycua/launchp…
• Video templates for product launches
• Shared animation components
• Works with Claude Code + Remotion skills
• How we made the Cua-Bench video in 2 hours

@kieranklaassen Haven’t tried brainstorm but I suppose it makes use of the AskUser tool to interview you before creating a more solid plan?

compound-engineering v2.28.0 is here!
• Now supports OpenCode and Codex (experimental)
• New /workflows:brainstorm command
• Smarter research with API deprecation validation
Thanks @trevin and Jared Morgenstern for the contributions! 🙌
github.com/EveryInc/compo…
English

@francedot Nice alpha thanks. Was looking to practical examples on how to use the skills
English

@kieranklaassen Yeah definitely. We all seeing what sticks but I liked the way you bundled compound engineering within the loop
English

@Prauleo yeah i can make this way better, this was made in a second and not optimized at all
English

Yo @kieranklaassen, i’m looking at the /lfg new command. Looks sick but doesn’t it miss the point of a ralph loop having small context with every iteration?
Or am I missing something?
English

@flaviocopes Wait till you replace the workflow:work phase with a ralph loop. Best of both worlds

the new ads are not just useful— they're a new paradigm 😍😍😍
OpenAI@OpenAI
In the coming weeks, we plan to start testing ads in ChatGPT free and Go tiers. We’re sharing our principles early on how we’ll approach ads–guided by putting user trust and transparency first as we work to make AI accessible to everyone. What matters most: - Responses in ChatGPT will not be influenced by ads. - Ads are always separate and clearly labeled. - Your conversations are private from advertisers. - Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will not have ads.

I want to start a community dedicated to Claude Code.
It’s become the gateway drug to coding and experiencing the power of AI for tons of people.
This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows, proven prompts, and connect with other CC obsessives.
Comment “Claude” if you want to join.
