Cursor + Anthropic = Gen Z’s Apple

cursor now has design mode (⇧+⌘+D) - click to edit, drag to draw - shift + drag to box things in - add directly to chat with ⌥+click

Today, humans make the decision. In 6–12 months, the agent executes it. Ophelia is the execution layer the agent calls. We’re building for that world now, not after it arrives.
Ophelia@opheliaapi
The next wave of consumer social wins on execution. Not matching, or algorithms, not even design or AI. Execution. The absorbed logistics resulting in a physical real-world outcome. IRL is not a feature, it’s a moat.

@Evie_Magazine As if ChrEaster attendees don’t pmo already, seriously. If I can’t find a seat on Sunday at St. Joe’s I’m going to be so annoyed

NYC’s Hottest New Club Is Catholic Mass
There's a new hot-spot taking over, and there’s no cover charge or VIP section in sight.
Walk into any traditional adjacent Catholic church this Easter from Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral to St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village, and the scene might surprise you. Packed pews. Standing room only.
20-and-30-somethings in their prettiest spring dresses and young men in pressed collared shirts and button-downs, lingering long after the service ends to talk, laugh, and swap Instagram handles.
It’s an energy that's warm and intoxicating… even without the bottomless mimosas.
One viral tweet recently described a packed Sunday Mass in Manhattan as "the hottest club in NYC right now," and she wasn't exaggerating.
Something major is happening across the country: young people are going to church.
Gen Z, once labeled a godless generation—atheist at worst, agnostic at best—have come rushing back, fueled by their fire for the Church’s framework of femininity and masculinity, for truth, and for God.

Its time to start living in the real-world
femiiiiii.@femiiiszn
please go outside, life is so beautiful.

I’m really excited for founders building in the IRL tech space.
Obviously I’m biased towards my incredible dating/social app friends. But this also includes LLMs and AI founders.
The people building toward IRL connection and experiences right now are working on the right problem.
The ones who figure out they don’t have to build the execution layer entirely from scratch are going to move the fastest.
This summer is going to be CRAZY

The best parts about nyc summer > rooftop parties with skyline views > live jazz at washington square park > iced coffee from the corner bodega > reading on the stoop at golden hour > fire escapes as second living rooms > citibike adventures across manhattan > sunrise runs on the west side highway > the entire city outside, everywhere, all the time > central park sunday picnics with the rest of the world

People don’t show up more when you convince them.
They show up more when you make it easy to say yes.
The highest-leverage thing you can do not only in tech, but for yourself in life, is to remove decisions that should never have been yours to make in the first place.
I learned this running presidential campaigns, while building/shipping code, being on early startup teams, it’s the same principle.
Make systems that are impossible for people to disagree, hate, or walk away from.
The harder it seems or the more pressure there is, no matter what people will walk away, including men in love.

situationships are just a symptom of an extremely risk averse culture where people would rather be in a low grade state of anxiety and misery to avoid having their feelings hurt by getting dumped. technology just allows for these types of things to prolong themselves

if your ai agent or app has irl “capabilities” but doesn’t close the loop, that’s not a feature gap that’s structural absence. I fear ur ngmi

@projectionheart Wait where would love to do this!!! Better than driving to CT

I just signed up for sailing lessons in NYC on May 30 and you could sign up for them also

I’m so thankful for this opportunity. This is the most fun I’ve ever working for a YC startup, big things on the way! Anything can happen in SF, make that cold DM!
Alex@AlexanderTw33ts
Excited to announce that @mil000 will be joining RentaHuman as CTO. He’s already added 40k LOC and it’s only been one day. We have laid off the entire team and are focused on hitting 1M lines of code by mid-April. Big things on the way!

MCP adoption is moving fast.
Every developer who’s built IRL booking from scratch has the same story:
- Scoped at 3 weeks
- Shipped at 5 months
- Human still maintains coordination today
We built ours right the first time so the rest of the industry doesn’t have to.
Peter Steinberger 🦞@steipete
The next version of OpenClaw is also an MCP, you can use it instead of Anthropic's message channel MCP to connect to a much wider range of message providers. (I know, this is awkward)

AI agents are about to make the coordination gap extremely visible.
When an agent can plan your entire evening but can’t confirm a single OpenTable reservation or plan it to your relationship stage
The missing coordination layer becomes undeniable.
Ophelia@opheliaapi
Planned 3 dates with ChatGPT this month. Went on 0. The matching or suggestions weren’t the problem. The coordination was. That gap is infrastructure, not compatibility. Close it.

Your AI agent can summarize earnings calls, write your OKRs, and debug production incidents.
It cannot make a dinner reservation.
That execution gap is real-world coordination which requires infrastructure, not better intelligence.
