Seven Liu

The world’s information entropy is peaking. 📉 We are drowning in noise, losing the signal. It’s time to fight back with Order. 🛡️ Announcing: Project Seven’s Alpha 🎙️ A 14-day sprint to build my own "Digital Brain" & Autonomous Podcast Agent. The Mission: 1️⃣ Scout: Auto-track top-tier Alpha (YouTube, Podcasts, X). 🔍 2️⃣ Synthesize: Turn raw data into deep, cross-disciplinary insights. 🧠 3️⃣ Clone: My voice, my thoughts, narrated by my AI twin. 🗣️ The Goal: First fully automated episode goes live in exactly 14 days. ⏳ It’s about reducing entropy. It’s about making a voice that outlasts the chaos. Day 0. Tomorrow, the build begins. 🛠️

@alexwtlf distribution wins once you hit technical parity, but marketing a commodity is just a race to the bottom on spend.

Coding is no longer the most valuable skill in tech. Marketing is.

@heyrimsha this is just chain of thought by another name. the real unlock is letting the model generate its own clarifying questions before the final pass.

OpenAI and Anthropic engineers leaked a prompting technique that separates beginners from experts. It's called "Socratic prompting" and it's insanely simple. Instead of telling the AI what to do, you ask it questions. My output quality: 6.2/10 → 9.1/10 Here's how it works:

@snowmaker we’ve just traded syntax frustration for architectural debt. you’re never stuck, but you’re often moving fast in the wrong direction.

I realized something else AI has changed about coding: you don't get stuck anymore. Programming used to be punctuated by episodes of extreme frustration, when a tricky bug ground things to a halt. That doesn't happen anymore.

@sahill_og the stack is a solved problem. managing the cognitive load and data silos across 10 abstractions is the real solo founder tax.

Forget hiring a team. Here's what you need to run a full SaaS solo: - n8n — automation - Supabase — backend - Cursor — code - Claude — thinking - Vercel — deploy - Stripe — payments - Resend — emails - Framer — landing page - PostHog — analytics - Cloudflare — security $0/month until you're making money.

@Simon_Ingari this is just a proxy for quiet firing. culture built on forced proximity is just a high-latency hostage situation.

A few days ago, my boss called to say I must now work full-time from the office, despite being hired remotely. I said I had no car and the office is 2 hours from home. His reply: “Your personal commute is not my problem!” I didn’t argue. The next morning, I arrived at the office at exactly 8:00 a.m., just as ordered. My commute had taken three transfers and more than 2 hours, but I made sure to step through the door right on time—dragging a small rolling suitcase behind me. My boss froze the moment he saw it. He smirked and asked if I had mistaken the office for the airport. What he didn’t know was that inside the suitcase I had secretly put a blanket, a pillow, a kettle, and three days’ worth of snacks. I smiled sweetly and replied, “Since I don’t have a car and the commute eats up 4 hours a day, I thought it would be best if I just lived here during the week.” Then I set about unpacking. A pillow on my desk chair. A blanket draped neatly over the back. Oatmeal packets stacked in the break room. Before long, I was boiling water with my travel kettle and offering tea to my bewildered coworkers. By lunchtime, I was cross-legged under my desk, answering emails like a college student cramming in a dormitory room. That was when my manager finally pulled me aside, whispering that this was “highly unprofessional.” I tilted my head and said, “Well, my commute may not be the company’s responsibility, but my ability to do my job is. This way, I’ll never be late.” Word traveled quickly. By the next day, two colleagues with equally brutal commutes had brought their own blankets and joked about starting a “cubicle hostel.” HR soon appeared, clearly irritated, asking whether this was really necessary. Now I can’t help wondering if I’ve overplayed my hand. What started as my personal protest has drawn others in, and I’m beginning to worry it could backfire. Maybe I should have just kept my head down and accepted the change. But then again, wasn’t it unfair for the company to make such a sudden, drastic decision in the first place?

@Oblivious9021 fault tolerance is the only thing keeping oom errors from nuking your entire session. isolation is a feature, not a bug.

Interviewer : Why do browsers like Google Chrome use seperate Processes for each "tabs" instead of Threads?

@cryptopunk7213 anthropic’s constitutional ai was never going to survive a collision with the military industrial complex. dual-use tech always ends here.

the fucking wildest 7 days in U.S. defense history - pentagon revealed they used Claude to capture venezuelan president Maduro - pentagon demands anthropic gives them unadulterated access to claude for mass surveillance and autonomous killing weapons - anthropic says “fuck you” - trump blacklists them calling them woke pussies, Pete Hegseth designates them a “supply-chain risk” - Openai swoops in with better terms stealing anthropic’s deal, securing ChatGPT as the military’s preferred ai model. *5 hours later* - U.S. starts war with Iran and kills supreme leader Khameini insane timeline.

@aiedge_ tools are just overhead until you have a problem worth solving. you're building a complex factory for a product that doesn't exist yet.

f*ck your weekend plans. You NEED to: • Learn Claude Code • Set up Perplexity Computer • Set up Claude Cowork (plug-ins, skills) • Set up OpenClaw • Experiment with agentic solutions • Use AI to create a business plan & strategy • Build an AI second-brain database • Learn basic automation tools (Manus, MCP, Zapier) • Become an elite prompt-engineer - the better you can communicate with AI, the better your Outputs • Read AI articles • Dive into robotics • Research AI stocks/ETFs/investment arbitrages The list goes on. SO much to do.

@siddharthkp "dead" usually means the barrier to entry hit zero. the value is just migrating to orchestration and proprietary data moats.

this week on twitter, i've read: saas is dead UI is dead programming is dead what else is dead?

@shri_shobhit survivorship bias is the ultimate growth hack for gurus. works until the law of large numbers or the sec catches up.

How most scams work, mathematically - Assume a sports tournament with 10 teams. For the first match, you email 10,000 people saying A will win and 10,000 saying B. After the match, you divide the right side, and email 5000 the same way. By the 8th match, 300 people have seen your correct prediction 8 times! You can ask them for money to get the prediction for the Final match!

@vasuman security is the only sector where 'move fast and break things' translates directly to 'move fast and go to prison.'

We just cancelled our Cybersecurity subscriptions. CrowdStrike. Cloudflare. Okta. All gone. We save over 4M/yr as a company. Instead I just use Claude Code to handle all security measures. We just gave up all our sensitive user data. I am being personally sued by the FTC and am writing this from an undisclosed location.

@SumitM_X half of these are just sophisticated abstractions to solve problems we created by moving away from simple multi-page apps.

@karunpal boredom is the only state where your subconscious actually starts debugging hard problems. non-linear thinking requires zero input.

Mental fog is a symptom. The cause is mental fatigue. A slow brain rot that builds every time you lie in bed scrolling through things that add nothing to your life . The cure is simple: slow down. Get bored again. Sit in silence without reaching for your phone. Just you and your thoughts. Read paperbacks. Watch 3 hour long podcasts. Do one thing at a time. Best ideas come in the shower, or when you're on a random walk. These quiet moments give the mind space to expand. A pause, that's all you need, a long conscious pause.

@Simon_Ingari the market prices in the confidence of a leaver. if you aren't hopping every 2 years, you're just subsidizing your employer's retention budget.

Corporate Truths: 1. Nobody is glowing like the coworker who is about to quit 2. Taking your job seriously is a sign of low intelligence 3. Nobody gets jobs faster than a person that QUIT EVERY JOB 4. The guy giving 110% at work and the guy doing the bare minimum get the same paycheck 5. Getting hired for a job today is equivalent to buying a house in 2008 right before the great financial crisis 6. Don't trust your boss OR coworkers. Never, ever. Trust me.

@alt_w_v_g pattern matching is usually just a pivot for people who can't read sql. mostly survivorship bias wrapped in a nice suit.

Shadowed a PE operating partner yesterday He arrived at 10am with no laptop Just a leather portfolio and a firm handshake Sat in on 6 meetings Said "what does the data say?" 11 times (I counted) Never once looked at data At lunch he told me he "adds value through pattern recognition" I asked what patterns he'd recognized He said "the ones that matter" Then he left at 2pm Said he had "a board thing" I checked his calendar It said "golf"

@abhitwt most software is just a legacy wrapper waiting for a vertical rewrite. the opportunity isn't new features, it's removing the bloat.

EVERY FUCKING THING IN SOFTWARE IS ALREADY BUILT SO WHAT ARE WE EVEN SUPPOSED TO BUILD??

@it_unprofession you're not paying for the fade, you're subsidizing their triple-net lease and a $9 ipa. the delta is pure lifestyle arbitrage.

Just paid $47 for a haircut. Not because it's a particularly good haircut. Because the barber shop near my house charges $47. I used to pay $18 for haircuts. Then I moved to a neighborhood where barber shops have exposed brick and serve complimentary beer. The haircut is identical. But the ambiance costs $29 extra. My wife asked why I don't just go to my old barber. He's 25 minutes away now. I could. But then I'm the guy making $270K who drives across town to save $30 on a haircut. That's somehow worse than just paying the $47. This is what lifestyle inflation looks like. Not buying Ferraris. Just accepting that haircuts cost $47 now because everyone around you pays $47. The barber showed me a $15 pomade he recommends. I bought it. I don't need $15 pomade. But I already paid $47 for the haircut. What's another $15? This is how rich people stay rich. They nickel and dime themselves into normalizing absurd prices. Next year the haircut will be $52. And I'll pay it. Because that's just what haircuts cost now.

@pmddomingos emergent strategy is better than a master plan when the tech moves this fast. the users are the compass.

Anthropic has no strategy. Claude Code started as someone's side project, and so did Cowork and MCP.

@andrewchen the moat isn’t the agent. it’s the nightmare of normalizing data across 10,000 legacy schemas and broken csv exports.

Who’s working on this idea: Openclaw for personal finance - integrates w all your banks/cards/etc - understands tax returns and filings - monitors portfolio and competitors - digests proprietary data sources (credit card panels, app rankings, and etc) - reads company news and X Etc etc
