@imrayjohnston Had a simple no-fit rule throughout my career. How someone behaves before paying is usually more reliable than anything they say after. Even if it means walking away from money, that’s usually been the better decision.

🚩 on sales calls All within 10 mins... - won't turn video on - lectures about auto recording call - lectures about auto note taking call - starts grilling (in 120 seconds) on case studies - won't talk about their biz when they booked the call with you - complains about others they worked with - wants you to reveal sensitive info about clients/deals What are your 🚩 flags? I ended that call within 8 mins. I've done this for 8 years. 100% of the time, people like that are 100% nightmares to work with.

ChatGPT officially reached 1 billion monthly users. Turns out the world's fav hobby is asking AI random questions at 2 AM. What a wild milestone.

You can drop a video into Codex, tell it "recreate these animations in MagicPath" and it'll just do it

@aaron_clarey I think these numbers are very optimistic As a white man, I’m looking at college as only a networking opportunity and once there are better networking opportunities created, I will push my son to do those instead

CLAUDE OPUS 4.8 JUST KILLED SHOPIFY Someone built a better store under 10 mins using Claude All they did was connect Shopify to Claude Import an image of your product to Claude and give it this prompt: “Make me a prompt for a high-converting product page” Pro tip: You don’t need amboreas, you can do all this with skills in Claude terminal Check the article below

AI agents get dangerous when you connect them like a trusted admin. I see people do this all the time: Add API keys. Connect production tools. Let the agent write to real systems. Hope the prompt is good enough. That is insane. The safer setup is much more boring. → Read first Let the agent inspect docs, logs, customers, analytics, tickets, and internal state. It should understand the business before it can change anything. → Draft the action The agent can prepare the payload, write the reply, create the issue, summarize the incident, or suggest the next step. Useful work. No production write yet. → Use narrow paths Webhooks. Queues. Scoped scripts. n8n proxy workflows. Give the agent small doors into the system instead of handing it the master key. → Control the writes Anything risky should have approval, logs, and a rollback path. Deploys. Billing changes. User exports. Database writes. Posting content. The agent can still move fast. But it moves through paths you designed, not random admin access glued together with a confident prompt. This is the part people skip because it feels boring. And it is exactly the part that makes agents usable in a real business.

Is coding dead? Not it's not. Did it transform? Yes, it did. AI changed what's important. AI didn’t kill coding; it changed what coding is worth. The act of writing syntax is becoming cheaper, but the value of knowing what to build, how to structure it, how to debug it, and how to make tradeoffs is higher than ever. The important part isn't just "can you code?" It's now: - Can you define the problem clearly? - Can you judge whether the output is correct? - Can you integrate pieces into a reliable system? - Can you reason about quality, security, and maintainability? - Can you use AI without becoming dependent on it? So no, coding is not dead. But plain coding is no longer the whole game. The winners will be those who can think like engineers and use AI as a force multiplier.

Instead of a cold pitch, send value first "We created a landing page for [Company] implementing 3 things [competitor] does that you're not right now, want me to send it?" Reply rate: 12% Normal cold email: 1% They're curious. Takes you 10 mins with Manus or Lovable.

Omg today I learned that Testflight has a daily limit. I have vibe coded too hard today and it’s only 10am 😭😭😭

Shipped a Map Your Show scraper 🚢 Hitting 50 actors with the next one 🔥 The goal is not only to ship as many of them, but make sure they are valuable and well maintained. Rule #1 is match & exceed. @apify apify.com/maximedupre/ma…

Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google): “If you can’t get your prototype built in a day, think about that” So while you’re still explaining your idea to Claude from scratch every single chat your competitor already shipped it Save the full 17-feature breakdown below👇

IT'S SO OVER!!! MVP agencies are absolutely cooked. I just connected Twilio, Granola, ElevenLabs, Lovable AI, and Gmail to Lovable and shipped: → SMS order notifications → Client meeting context piping → AI voice narrated reports → Full brand asset studio → Gmail-powered internal CRM Most people are still paying $30K to $50K and waiting 6 weeks for the same MVP. The math just changed. (full breakdown in the article)

> motion control: you move, the AI puts it on any character > screenshot → nano banana node → describe who to become > source clip + that image → kling 2.6 → generate > under 60 sec. that's the demo everyone shows > what they skip: > the swap is easy > the believable swap is one prompt > lock the biomechanics weight, footing, breathing > skip it and the body melts, the face drifts > the tool's free. knowing what to lock is the skill

We call them the Mission Team. Thanks for having us @southpkcommons!

the anthropic claude lecture is the best free hour in quant AI right now. bookmark & watch today. It's the most valuable 1 hour in quant AI right now.

Autonomous MRR Autonomous companies Autonomous OpenClaw cofounder What more can we ask for?

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 25-minute workshop on how to actually use Claude properly Taught by the people who built it Free. No registration. No paywall I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes Watch it and bookmark it now

This is quite literally why I do not even read benchmarks on stuff.

The best pitch test: can you tell this at a bar to a friend? Not the market size, not the TAM, not the deck. Just the story. Why you built it. What you saw that nobody else saw. What happened. If you can't tell it naturally over drinks (or it would feel weird to your friend and they would think "this isn't you"), your idea or pitch or endeavor needs to bake some more. The 9pm-at-a-bar test for your startup idea is a defining authenticity test. And without that, nobody will buy your product, let alone come work for you or invest.
