Just bought a Mac mini to start building my AI infrastructure setup 🚀 Goal: • Run AI agents 24/7 • Manage existing SaaS + AI projects • Rapidly prototype new ideas • Control everything from my MacBook + phone Currently configuring it as an always-on AI server. Question for the builders here: Should I use OpenClaw, or are the latest Claude updates enough now? And for coding: Claude Code or OpenAI Codex? Curious what setups people are using in 2026 👀

Just shipped GPT-5.5 and Grok-4.3 on @novelistai_com both are solid upgrades for long-form fiction — really curious to see what people write with them!

been watching the Strait of Hormuz news and wanted to actually understand the dynamics, so I vibe-coded a small naval strategy sim. pick US or Iran, make moves, watch the oil price react. solo dev, browser, no signup: hormuzcrisis.vercel.app

April 23 is Sant Jordi — Catalonia's day of books and roses, and UNESCO's World Book Day. Tradition is simple: gift a book and a rose to someone you love. Shipped a small promo for it on @novelistai_com — 50% off credit packs with code SANTJORDI50 through Apr 26. Instead of buying a book, write a special one. 🌹

GPT Image 2 is live on ai4spaces. OpenAI's latest image model, now wired up for both fresh generations and any image-to-image transformation — elevations, sketches, ground plans, style swaps. One biophilic house → very different outputs. Try it: ai4spaces.com

Added openai GPT Image 2 on ai4spaces today — both text-to-image and edit endpoints, via fal.ai. Turns out it's quite good at drafting floor plans and elevations from a single house photo. Less impressive for style or lighting changes — still prefer Nano Banana 2 for that.

@emmanuel_2m Thanks!

@AlbertSimonDev Great work Albert, well done ++

Tried Google AI #Genie3 and it’s amazing. I think other companies — like Chinese ones — will soon launch similar models. That’s why a platform where you can try all AI models for creating video games makes a lot of sense. That’s exactly what I’m experimenting with in ai4worlds: vaigames.com/ai4worlds/ 🚀

@subdotgames Thanks! but dont think meets the requirements, is not interactive enough!

@AlbertSimonDev hey @AlbertSimonDev you game should be on #vibejam, sick visuals

I made a playable fantasy video game using only AI video tools ⚔️ No engine, no 3D assets — just AI. Meet The Last Blade of Aetherion, a cinematic 3rd-person adventure.

@marclou I thought you will just automate everything with AI agents and just enjoy life!

I overworked myself. For the past 5 years, I barely took a day off. I shipped 30 startups, wrote 30,000 tweets, made 70 YouTube videos, and answered thousands of support requests. The weird part is, it never felt like work. It felt like play. Until recently. For the first time in years, I’ve struggled to get things done. I don’t want to open my laptop. The things that used to make me happy suddenly feel heavy. That scares me a bit, because the playful side of work is what got me here. And right now, it feels like I lost it. So I’m taking a break. I’ll still do about an hour of maintenance work a day, but the rest of my time will go to real life. I’m training for Hyrox in Korea on May 25, so I’ll put my energy there for now and train 20 hours a week. I went through a little burnout once before, in 2021. What helped me was going back to basics: training, reading, eating well, and sleeping 8 hours. It brought the hunger back then. I trust it will again!

Just shipped a new update on NovelistAI. You can now edit any image (existing or uploaded) with simple instructions: – add/remove objects – change backgrounds – clean details – switch styles (realistic, cinematic, anime…) – keep the same character across scenes using a reference Also added new models: • Nano Banana 2 (best quality so far) • Qwen 2 • Qwen 2 Pro The goal is to move from one-shot generation → iterative creation, where you can actually refine results step by step.

🔥 Night in Carthage As night falls, the city transforms. Fires burn, voices rise, and rituals begin under the moonlight. A world shaped by gods, tradition, and belief.

🏛️ Inside Carthage Behind the walls of Carthage. From wealthy homes to crowded streets — family life, politics, and power unfold. Soldiers train. Armies march. War is always near.

Made a new AI-generated video: life in ancient Carthage, 250 BCE. youtu.be/yKS63ethWo0?si…

Solve the Strait of Hormuz crisis: protect the tankers so they can pass safely. Use minesweepers, destroyers, F-18s, and other defense systems. Drive the price of oil down to win! hormuzcrisis.vercel.app

Been improving Hormuz Crisis — my browser strategy game about the Strait of Hormuz oil conflict. – Fixed unit behavior (had some bugs 😅) – Better balance between Iran 🇮🇷 and USA 🇺🇸 – Added game length (1–10 rounds) – Difficulty modes: Easy / Normal / Hard Built 100% with AI tools as an experiment. Play here: hormuzcrisis.vercel.app

You can play it here: hormuzcrisis.vercel.app curious what you think, especially about gameplay and balance

I built it in a few hours using AI + simple tools – coded mostly with Claude Code (terminal) – Phaser 3 + TypeScript for the game – deployed on Vercel – soundtrack generated with Suno AI was more a “vibe coding” experiment to see how fast I could go from idea → playable

Right now the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important places in the world. I built a small browser strategy game about it You play as USA or Iran and try to control the strait (where ~20% of world oil passes) It’s free, no download, playable in browser Short gameplay below 👇
