Someone build a platform to crush @Medium by enabling creators to share not only text but also interactive elements (Artifacts in Claude). A bit like pudding.cool - but even better. Basically just crush Medium because it's turned into the Daily Mail of blogging.

@lukepierceops Talk me through the specific workflows and processes you built that are yielding efficiency gains and profit growth and the companies using them.

Anthropic and OpenAI are both building PE-backed consulting arms to deploy AI inside companies. Let that sink in for a second. The two companies building the most powerful AI on earth looked at the market and said "businesses can't figure out how to use this. We need to go in and do it for them." They are literally telling you where the gap is. Companies have access to the best AI models ever built. And most of them are still running on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual processes because nobody showed them how to actually implement it. That's the whole game right now. Not building better models (obviously) or shipping new features. IMPLEMENTATION. Getting AI inside real workflows. Mapping the processes, building the systems, and making it stick. I've been doing exactly this for 4 years and have worked with 80+ companies at this point. It started with automation and naturally flowed into Ai. And every single engagement starts the same way. Not with AI or automation but with a process map. Because AI alone won't fix broken operations. Companies now understand that. They have not yet seen true ROI from Ai. You have to understand how the business actually runs before you touch a single tool. Where does the data live? Where are the bottlenecks? What's manual that shouldn't be? What breaks when volume goes up? That's the work, and that's what Anthropic and OpenAI just told the entire market is worth billions. Every company is going AI-first over the next 3-5 years. The demand for people who can actually make that happen is about to be unlike anything we've seen. The labs told you where the gaps are. Now go fill them.

Why aren’t tourism organisations fighting the extortionate rates being charged to members by OTAs- by investing in tokens to create better promotion and booking systems? GEO will create a level playing field for everyone- and even favour newcomers!

@DevBredda @levelsio Have you tried Eddie.ai

@levelsio It's not as good as people think it is... I tried it and Claude isn't clever enough to time things correctly.. Cool idea but we are little bit behind.. I would believe Gemini to be leading in this as they are multil-modal and actually support video..

Video editing with Claude Code

@kepano I can't get it to work with YouTube vids. Tried it with six of varying age.

Defuddle now returns Youtube transcripts! Paste a YouTube link into defuddle.md to get a markdown transcript with timestamps, chapters, and pretty good diarization! ...or if you just want to read it, try the new Reader mode in Obsidian Web Clipper powered by Defuddle.

The biggest hurdle we have to AI accomplishment is clarity of mind. Many people now delegate all their mental faculties to AI. But AI doesn't know what you need. It just predicts the next token! Spend more time working on clear thinking. That's how to differentiate yourself.

@KSimback @hwchase17 I thought you could use Claude Code with any model.

LangChain is one of the pioneers of AI agents and agentic orchestration Now they’ve released Deep Agents - an open source alternative to Claude Code that’s model agnostic 🤯

Dear @Medium. You are a total shitshow. Everything you do makes everything worse.

I have spent months listening to @TimesRadio. Ignored @BBCRadio4 in the process. Returned to the Beeb. And now I can share my verdict. R4 is by far the best talk radio station in the world. The programming is diverse. Divine. Times Radio is simply too obsessed with politics.

I get sad when I think about all the squeezed lemons I threw away without zesting them.

@Nedra Thinking about you. Life is so fraught and unnecessarily so.

@DaveThackeray It doesn't need to be so complicated. Iran's regime has for decades stated that its primary objective is to destroy Israel, and it's trying to kill as many civilians as possible. At the same time, they're brutally oppressing their own citizens. We're trying to stop them.

For clarity and focus sometimes it helps to remember there's no such thing as bad guys in a war. Or everyone is.

@Nedra Ideologies and idealism appear to be the conduit and curse in every conflict. Empathy and enlightenment are rarely divined from the tragic effects.

@DaveThackeray Or sometimes a war is truly good guys trying to keep the bad guys from hurting innocent people. As is the current war with Iran. (Though with the typically skewed way it's being reported, that basic fact gets covered up.)

@ihtesham2005 You CANNOT teach AI taste. It's a uniquely human skill and it's one that requires both conscience and consciousness. I know you're dragging for engagement but you can find way better slop.

Someone just solved the biggest problem with vibe coding. It's called Taste-Skill. One SKILL.md file that stops your vibe coding AI from generating the same boring, generic slop every single time. Here's what it fixes: → taste-skill: teaches your AI layout, typography, spacing, motion, and visual quality from scratch → redesign-skill: audits existing projects and fixes the biggest design problems first → output-skill: forces the AI to write complete code — no placeholder comments, no skipped blocks It also has 3 adjustable settings: → DESIGN_VARIANCE (1-10): controls how experimental the layout gets → MOTION_INTENSITY (1-10): from simple hovers to full spring physics → VISUAL_DENSITY (1-10): luxury whitespace to dashboard-dense Set it to 8/8/3 and watch your AI build Apple-level UI instead of Bootstrap templates. Works in Cursor, Claude Code, or any AI editor that reads context files. 4.2K stars. 100% Opensource. (Link in the comments)

@brian_scanlan Brian if you had a verified account Elon would have given you $1m for that info in a single, endless twete

LOADS of incident/troubleshooting investigation skills. They're starting to converge, using progressive disclosure in a solid core skill that can figure out what to do for specific issues. We have a goal to make all runbooks follow-able by Claude in the next 6 weeks.

We've been building an internal Claude Code plugin system at Intercom with 13 plugins, 100+ skills, and hooks that turn Claude into a full-stack engineering platform. Lots done, more to do. Here's a thread of some highlights.

@ryancarson Sounds introspective. Where's the video of the process?

Your homework for today ... Spend 8 hours completely optimizing your code factory and all of your agentic harnessing. It's tedious and frustrating, but it's worth it. I spent all of yesterday cleaning out automations, getting agent browser testing refined, culling skills and helper scripts. Really fine-tuned my code factory, and wow, it is worth it.

@Scobleizer Hey Scoble remember that guy who reckoned he had generated a way more efficient AI model? What became of that? This Vera stuff is astonishing. You increasing your stock?

You can't read tens of thousands of posts here on X everyday. And if you were at NVIDIA's GTC it is even worse, you were too busy to keep up on X. But AI can. Here is its complete report from #NVIDIAGTC today. Every major report, post, partner announcement, and more. docs.google.com/document/d/1fM… Thanks to Levangie Labs' cognitive architecture which sits on top of @AnthropicAI Claude and makes it way way better. Appreciate having the first non-corporate access to this remarkable AI infrastructure from @blevlabs.

Who else read Dan Brown's latest and chuckled at his reference to Bard - Gemini's predecessor? Thinks move fast in AI.

@ryancarson @pmarca Don't you consider posting all your experiences and lessons on X a form of extended introspection?

I watched this interview, and what struck me the most was that @pmarca said he has zero interest in introspection in his life. I feel the same but have always felt bad about it. I don't have the patience or interest in any sort of introspection on the past. I don't want to talk to a therapist. I don't want to write in a journal. It was interesting to see that Marc feels the same way. Made me feel less bad about it. Great interview @davidsenra.

Everyone's building something incredible. But first you need to tell its story. This is one use case for Artifacts - a brand new storytelling platform integrating apps and interactive experiences. I'm looking for beta testers. @Scobleizer - good idea?

@parisofprairie This is the joy I never knew I needed. Please make this a regular collab. You guys are all geniuses!
