@starks_arq Your content barely ever makes sense. In this example they're getting shot at from behind, but then they look forward and shoot forwards - then the guy throws the grenade in front of him but the explosion happens behind him and the dudes in front just somehow disappear 😂

Josh Hunt@iAmJoshHunt·
Let me walk you through the arithmetic of Britain's demographic crisis. Because once you see the numbers, you can't unsee them. The UK has around 43 million people of working age. These are the people the entire system depends on. They pay the taxes. They fund the pensions. They staff the hospitals. 9 million of them are economically inactive. Not working and not looking for work. 1 in 5. That number deserves unpacking because it isn't one problem. It's several, layered on top of each other. The largest group, around 2.8 million, are out due to long-term sickness or disability. That number has been rising steadily since 2019 and recently hit a record high. Among younger people, the driver is mental health. Among older workers, it's musculoskeletal conditions, back problems, and other chronic illness. People in their early twenties are now more likely to be economically inactive due to ill health than people in their forties. That statistic alone should stop you in your tracks. The second largest group, roughly 2.4 million, are students in full-time education. They're investing in their future productivity. But while they study, they aren't contributing to the tax base. Around 1.6 million are looking after family or home, disproportionately women. Around 1.1 million took early retirement before state pension age. Many left during or after the pandemic and haven't returned. The rest are classed as discouraged or otherwise outside the labour market. On top of the 9 million inactive, another 1.87 million are unemployed. Youth unemployment has risen to around 16%. So of around 43 million people of working age, roughly 32 million are actually in work. About a quarter of the working-age population is not in paid employment. Now look at who they're supporting. There are roughly 12 million people above state pension age. The official dependency ratio is 278 pensioners per 1,000 people of working age. That sounds manageable. About 3.6 to one. But when you use the number of people actually working, it drops to roughly 2.7 workers per pensioner. Less than three. By 2047, the latest official projections show the ratio worsening to 302 per 1,000, even after planned pension age rises. ONS modelling submitted to the House of Lords suggests that to hold the current ratio constant, pension age would eventually need to reach 70 or beyond. Under current law, it rises to 67 by 2028, with further increases likely to stay on the table. And the support base is under growing pressure. The fertility rate just hit 1.41. The lowest on record. You need 2.1 to keep the population stable. We're at two thirds of that and falling. The average age of mothers is now 31. The government has expanded funded childcare significantly, and that's a genuine step forward. But the birth rate kept falling right through it. Because the problem isn't just childcare. It's housing. It's wages. It's the cost of being alive in this country while trying to raise a family. The overall population is still projected to grow, mainly through migration. But the pension-age population is growing faster than the working-age population. The number of people aged 85 and over is projected to nearly double, from 1.7 million in 2022 to 3.3 million by 2047. More pensions. More NHS demand. More social care. All landing on a workforce where the ratio of workers to dependants is weakening every year. And here's the part nobody talks about. According to the ONS, at least 1.4 million people in the UK are raising children while simultaneously caring for ageing parents. The sandwich generation. Wider estimates suggest the true figure may be considerably higher. Typically aged 35 to 64, spanning millennials and Gen X. These are people in mid-career. Many in management roles. Peak earning years. Maximum professional responsibility. And they're juggling all of that with school runs on one side and elderly care on the other. Two thirds say their finances are under strain. Carers UK estimates that over 600 people a day quit their jobs to care for a loved one. Research by the Centre for Economics and Business Research puts the average lifetime financial cost of being a sandwich carer at over £345,000 in lost earnings, reduced pension contributions, and direct care costs. Women are more than twice as likely to be the ones who leave work. Every one of those people who leaves is one fewer taxpayer. One fewer pension contributor. One fewer worker holding up the dependency ratio. And they don't just lose their salary. They lose years of compound growth on pension savings. They arrive at retirement with a depleted pot, needing the same support they were once helping to fund. This is about to intensify. As the over-85 population nearly doubles and social care continues to collapse, more people in that 35 to 64 age bracket will face the impossible choice between their career and their parents. The sandwich generation will get bigger. The workforce will come under even more strain. Now layer the health crisis on top. The Health Foundation projects that 3.7 million working-age people will be living with major illness by 2040, a 17% rise on 2019 levels. Already, 3.7 million people who are in work have a health condition that limits the type or amount of work they can do. That number has grown by 1.4 million in a decade. The House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee said it plainly. Those who are already economically inactive are becoming sicker, meaning they're less likely to return to work. The ageing effect that was previously being masked by other factors is now being reinforced by them. So here's the picture. The state pension costs around £146 billion a year. Funded entirely by current workers paying current retirees. There is no pot. The triple lock ratchets it higher every year. The working-age support base is under pressure and weakening. The number of dependants is growing. The people in the middle are getting sicker, burning out, and leaving work to care for parents the state can't look after. The generation behind them is smaller because the birth rate has collapsed. And the generation behind them will be smaller still. Nobody chose this. No generation is to blame. People didn't decide to be priced out of having children. Workers didn't choose to develop chronic conditions. The sandwich generation didn't volunteer to care for ageing parents with no safety net. This is a systems failure. We can argue over whether it's underinvestment in housing, health, social care, and prevention, or poor personal choices of the population at large that have produced a workforce that is too small, too sick, and too stretched to carry what's being placed on it. But this is where we're at. And the weight is growing every year. The arithmetic doesn't negotiate. And right now, it says we're running out of people to pay for the country we've built.

most people still treat text to video like a slot machine but testing seedance 2.0 on higgsfield feels more like building a scene from logic you start with a defined image, then guide how the motion should resolve, what’s interesting is how it handles continuity, spacing between objects, movement direction, even timing stays readable so instead of fixing broken generations after you’re shaping the structure before it even runs

@JSFILMZ0412 @VahnAeris Whats the generation time atm - still 4 hours or so? Do you think it will get worse? I want to pull the trigger with the annual topview sub but if too many people sign up, the delay could be 8 hours + or worse? How much longer will they offer this deal I wonder

I created my LinkedIn account 53 weeks ago. Since then I've generated ~$200,000 in direct rev, built 10,000+ connections and passed 4 million impressions. Super easy algo to crack. LinkedIn continues to be one of the strongest channels for inbound, authority, and consistent deal flow. Use my system before they tighten the algorithm again. And if you want the full cheat sheet with engagement group templates, carousel playbooks, DM workflows, and my posting system, follow me, repost this, and reply “LinkedIn Growth Guide.” You must do all 3 to receive the DM. Here is what is working best on LinkedIn right now: High impact proof posts are still outperforming everything else. LinkedIn continues rewarding posts that combine a real metric, a short narrative, and a clear business insight. These generate both dwell time and strong early engagement, which are the two main distribution levers. Short story driven posts are pulling huge numbers this month. Tight stories about client outcomes, small wins, failures, pivots, or lessons learned create emotional engagement and keep people reading longer. Both factors increase reach. Conversation starter posts remain one of the most reliable visibility triggers. You need first hour comments for distribution, and bold questions, stances, and challenges still generate the fastest comment velocity. Native formats continue to do really well. Text posts, carousels, and native videos significantly outperform link out posts. LinkedIn continues suppressing link reach. If you add a link, either place it in the comments or replace the preview image inside the post. Dwell time is still one of the strongest ranking factors. If people read your full post, swipe through multiple carousel slides, or watch your video mostly or fully, you get boosted. Topic authority continues to grow in importance. Posting consistently around the same topic or category strengthens your topic score, which increases distribution to users who follow or engage with that topic. Cross niche engagement amplifies reach. Commenting in 2 to 3 adjacent categories expands your first hour engagement pool and brings your content into new networks. Reposting top performers is now practically an official LinkedIn best practice. Most followers never saw your post the first time. Repost every 2 to 4 weeks with a new hook or framing. Posts with replies to replies get extended visibility. Deeper comment threads are weighted highly, and posts with multi level conversations stay in feeds for days. Here is my current posting routine which still works extremely well: I post 3 times per day, every day. Morning is a proof driven post or a strong point of view. Afternoon is a carousel, teardown, or case study. Evening is a lesson, system, or mini thread. Skipping even one day reduces next day reach. Here are the formats performing best right now: Carousels with a bold headline on slide 1 tied to a result or pain point, 3 to 5 tight middle slides with steps or visuals, and a final slide with a clear call to action such as “Comment guide if you want the full version.” Short native videos under 60 seconds with a hook in the first 2 to 3 seconds. Subtitles matter. Walkthroughs and behind the scenes style videos outperform talking head videos. Proof breakdowns that show the metric, explain how it happened in 3 to 4 steps, and end with a lesson or takeaway. Sharp hook text posts with 1 to 2 line paragraphs, 3 to 5 takeaways, and a question at the end to prompt replies. Conversation posts that generate multi level comment threads. Here is what is currently losing traction: Link out posts with no context. Metrics with no explanation. Large blocks of text with no spacing. Generic content that blends in with everything else. Posts where you never reply to comments in the first hour. Here is the engagement strategy that is working best right now: Comment on 20 or more posts per day. Like 50 or more posts per day. Reply to every comment on your own posts in the first hour. Repost top performing content every 5 to 7 days with a new hook. DM 5 to 10 people per day with specific, contextual value tied to something they posted. Create deeper comment threads by asking follow up questions, tagging people, or continuing the conversation. LinkedIn is heavily rewarding repeat engagement from the same people and deeper threads where replies provoke more replies. Here are the hooks performing best right now: I started this account 53 weeks ago. Here is what nearly $200,000 in pipeline actually looks like. This 4 slide carousel booked 5 calls in 24 hours. Here is slide 1. If I had to rebuild my LinkedIn from zero today, this is the exact system I would use. My 3 post per day routine for consistent inbound. I made X this month from LinkedIn. Here is the breakdown. Back every hook with proof. Here is the 30 day LinkedIn growth plan that works today: Post 3 times per day with at least one proof based post. Comment on 20 or more posts daily with real insight. Like 50 or more posts per day. Reply to every comment within the first hour. Repost a winner weekly. DM 5 to 10 people daily with context first value. Track impressions, comment depth, leads, and repeating commenters weekly. Test hooks, formats, and timing every week. LinkedIn remains one of the strongest platforms for inbound, authority and deal flow in 2025. Run this system for 30 days. Screenshot your Day 31 results. Tag me when inbound starts. If you want the full cheat sheet, follow me, repost this, and reply “LinkedIn Growth Guide.” You must do all 3 to receive the DM.

I found a Shopify brand running 900+ AI-generated ads on Meta 🤯 They're publishing 20 new AI UGC creatives every single day. So I pulled their entire Ad Library and broke down exactly how they're doing it. Most DTC brands are grinding to produce 10 creatives a month. This brand is shipping 20 per day. AI-generated testimonials. Unboxings. Demos. Lifestyle content. All without a single creator on payroll. What I found when I dug in: → 900+ ads live in their Meta Ad Library → AI-generated video across every single creative → Dozens of hook variations tested daily → Same product, completely different angles → Clear patterns in where the budget's going I recorded a full breakdown showing: → The AI tools they're using → Exact creative formats getting scale → Hook structures that keep repeating → How they're keeping brand consistency with AI → How to replicate this for your own brand Want the full Loom breakdown? > Comment "META" > Like this post And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)

Claude can now build complete n8n workflows from a single prompt. (and it takes less than 10 minutes) Most automation experts waste hours manually building workflows, debugging nodes, and configuring APIs. But there's a faster way. I just created a full video masterclass breaking down the exact process to use Claude's MCP server to auto-generate working AI agents and workflows. This is the same method I use for clients and my mentorship students. Inside this training, I walk you through: - Installing the n8n MCP server (step-by-step setup) - Creating Workflow Resource Documents that Claude understands - Generating complete workflow JSONs in minutes - Importing and debugging workflows inside n8n - Real example: Building a news aggregator AI agent that pulls articles, summarizes them, and sends daily reports I built a fully functional workflow in under 15 minutes on camera. The crazy part? You don't need to be an automation expert. This works for complete beginners. If you're building automations for your business or clients, this will save you hours every single week. Want the full masterclass? Comment "CLAUDE" and I'll send it to your DM's (must be following)

Introducing Anything Max: Vibe Coding that's leaps above Lovable and Bolt We've raised money at a $100M valuation and built what we believe is the future of vibe coding. We asked 100 vibe coders to build their apps side by side on Lovable, Bolt, and Anything Max and they rated Anything Max the winner across all 3 categories - accuracy, design, and 'overall'. Here's why: • Full-stack control: Max can test backend hooks, branch database states, and debug issues, because Anything owns the full infrastructure. • Max can load up your app in its own browser and click on all buttons like a human tester to find all edge case bugs, then trace the bug across the stack - could be a frontend, backend, or a database issue (only we can do this, read #1) and autonomously fix it with 97% accuracy. Lovable and Bolt build prototypes, but Max users are building production-ready apps and already charging money for them. Blake built a gut biome app to $10K run rate Anthony built a referral tool to $20k in revenue Yuri built a suite of apps doing $40K Build your app with Max: createanything.com/max -------------------------------------------- We're hosting a $100K Hackathon to help people grow their app to $10K MRR. - We'll teach you everything we know about growing to 1M users. - You'll have 30 days to build a real product in public and get paying customers for it. If you do it well, you can start the New Year with a functioning business. Retweet and comment “LFG”, and we’ll send you a $100 discount code and the link to participate
