RT @JuliaEMcCoy: Thoughts in my journal after an amazing week of working in AI with industry leaders. ❤️

the full, untold story behind my AI clone: juliaemccoy.medium.com/i-was-the-bott…

They say AI will destroy work. I say, good. Because what we call work today has destroyed us - our creativity, our families, our purpose. Time to let machines do machine work. Humans can be human again.

Comparing Opus 4 to 4.1, side by side. From sharper design mocks to smoother animations, 4.1 produces more polished outputs—with more depth and complexity. Examples from us and the community:

someday soon something smarter than the smartest person you know will be running on a device in your pocket, helping you with whatever you want. this is a very remarkable thing.

Me waiting for GPT-5 all week: 👀👀👀 … 🦗 Meanwhile, TODAY, we finally published the full tutorial on how my AI clone, Dr. McCoy, was made. The world’s first AI avatar to hit 100k on YouTube.

"AI will keep getting better and the day will come when AI will do all of our, all the things that we can do. Not just some of them but all of them." And Ilya Sutskever is sure about this. Its coming.

Humanoid robots with Artificial Universal Intelligence (AUI) will be capable of cooking every meal with almost no labor cost. AUI will have the maximum level of intelligence and ability in every field. It will be able to cook every meal like a five-star chef. Dining out and ordering takeout will be so inexpensive that many people will not bother having a kitchen in their homes.

Here's what happens when you underestimate exponential change: 2020: "AI is just a fancy autocomplete" 2023: "ChatGPT is impressive but limited" 2024: "AI agents are getting interesting" 2025: "Wait, how did AI get THIS good?" 2030: "I can't remember how we did anything before AI" This pattern repeats across every breakthrough technology. We consistently: - Overestimate short-term impact - Massively underestimate long-term transformation - Get caught unprepared when the hockey stick curve hits Smart money isn't betting against acceleration. Smart money is positioning for the world where energy is free, work is automated, and human creativity is the only scarce resource. Are you preparing for 2030, or still optimizing for 2020?

@dylan_curious Thanks, Dylan 🙏 today was a big day for us!

Love seeing this kind of momentum. An all-in-one AI school is necessary. The frontier is moving fast, and we need more builders who understand what they’re shaping. Congrats to @FirstMoversAI Curious to see what emerges from these labs.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: FIRST MOVERS R&D AI LABS IS NOW OPEN! 🚨 All 1,600+ on our waitlist heard about it today. We are SO EXCITED. Learn more about the world’s first all-in-one AI school: 🏫 🤖 🚀 firstmovers.ai/labs

Everything's coming together. @JuliaEMcCoy and I are hard charging on our first Post-Labor Economics book, a fictionalized story of the transition from now to a Post-Labor future. But even better, I'm gearing up for the non-fiction version, which looks at the technology, the data, the history, and the policy. And OMG I've compiled SO MUCH RESEARCH. This is rock solid.

TRUE STORY: A @FirstMoversAI client came to us with 14 AI tools costing $9K monthly. Their team was still: • Manually moving data between systems • Rewriting AI outputs • Missing deadlines After orchestration? 4 tools. $7,200 saved monthly. 250% more output. ….. Wanna see a full video breaking this down? I’m thinking that’s what the clone will talk about next week. 💥

The AI revolution is creating a MASSIVE transfer of wealth - and we want to help our clients capture it at @FirstMoversAI . I've seen companies go from 85 employees to just 2 with agentic AI processes. YEAH. You read that number right. 💥 At First Movers, we're EXPANDING our consultant team to meet overwhelming demand. Our calendar is FULL of mid-market companies ready to implement strategic AI. We're looking for Strategic AI Consultants who can: • Guide clients through our proven AI methodology • Create compelling ROI models for leadership buy-in • Work hands-on with GPT, Claude & other LLMs • Integrate with Make, Zapier, Pinecone & more • Build prototypes that demonstrate REAL capabilities Base: ~$50K + 10% of project value (avg deal: $30K with 90% close rate) + profit sharing. No resumes. Show us your strategic approach with a 20-30 min Loom. The bloodbath is coming. Be on the team that helps clients get AHEAD. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Link to apply below.

RT @JuliaEMcCoy: We’re about to launch new #AI consulting services at @FirstMoversAI specific to serving small and mid-market businesses in…

🤖 The AI Agent Revolution is here. ⚡️ OpenAI's Operator, Anthropic's Claude & Google's agents are already booking flights, ordering food & searching for jobs autonomously. DoorDash execs are asking: "What happens when only AI bots visit our site?" We're building agentic workflows on a regular basis to replace entire marketing teams, with our dialed-in Content Machine (AI product at @FirstMoversAI). It's not about adapting fastest—but adapting best. Companies that thoughtfully integrate with agent ecosystems rather than fighting them will thrive. Interesting approach from Walmart: AI-to-AI communication where their systems talk directly to consumer agents. The winners won't be those who panic or those who ignore—but those who strategically position for an agent-mediated world.

#Job Opening: Currently interviewing a part-time hourly project manager (AI Implementation Lead) at @FirstMoversAI - who can manage client projects, check-in calls, help build/coach our clients on our GPTs and bots, and work with our expert team. Email Julia at first movers dot

This is BIG Robotics will accelerate Unitree Robotics, the Hangzhou based firm behind the viral G1 robot, has open-sourced its algorithms and hardware designs, mirroring the collaborative ethos that propelled AI breakthroughs such as DeepSeek’s open source models.

We turned ourselves into machines to survive the industrial age. We made ourselves less human to function in a mechanical world. But now, as AI handles machine work and outperforms every human on earth at — • Data processing • Repetitive tasks • Analytical thinking • Endless computation We can finally return to being fully human — • Wildly creative • Time for human connection • Present in the moment • Beautifully imperfect This isn't about losing jobs. This is about reclaiming souls. Let machines be machines. Let humans be human again.
