@betraidx Everyone’s talking about the $2B budget. Hardly anyone’s talking about the billions of views that will be created around it for free.

Rockstar spent 12 years and $2 billion on one game. That's not a development budget. That's a signal. Pause at 0:11. Billions confirmed in earnings before a single copy shipped. Game not out yet. All-time high. 25 million players arrive week one. Every one needs guides, tier lists, money methods. Channels building now own the search rankings when they land. Content, affiliates, digital products, sponsorships. People targeting $14,200 a month from one channel. Claude writes the scripts. The system runs before launch. GTA 5 built thousands of full-time creators. The AI tools that exist now didn't exist in 2013. Rockstar spent $2 billion building the world. The creators who started early spend $44 a month.

@Bober_smart I’d probably play this just to experience the tuk-tuk chases.

A 23-year-old Indian developer created a game called GTA India and it has already been purchased by 16,548 people Game Price: $10 Revenue: $165,480 Costs: $200 spent on Claude for modifications Instead of classic bank robberies, the missions involve taking control of illegal spice markets or intercepting shipments of elite tea Instead of highway chases in Los Santos, players engage in chaotic, wild tuk-tuk races through the narrow alleys of Mumbai, dodging sacred cows and endless crowds of people He developed the game using Claude on the Unity engine, taking GTA 5 as a base. He modified the AI, rewrote the code, and launched the game on a server Sometimes, for success, all it takes is to take a popular product and give it a fresh twist

@Liquiddeny Wild how fast this is moving. The website isn’t the impressive part anymore, it’s the entire workflow happening from one command.

One voice command to JARVIS. 12 minutes. $17,400/month web design agency replaced. Same JARVIS from yesterday — now running a one-man web design shop. "Jarvis, find me a business and build them a website." Claude opens Google Maps → picks a coffee shop with a broken site → pulls their details → opens Lovable → renders the finished website in the same call. 12 minutes of voice command. Zero clicks. What it replaces: > Cold outreach VA — $2,400/mo > Discovery designer — $6,000/mo > Landing page dev — $5,000/mo > Project manager — $4,000/mo $17,400/month of agency roles. One voice command. He doesn't sell websites. He built a JARVIS that finds and closes while he sleeps. Every web design agency DMing you is one MCP wire away from being obsolete. Full setup + Lovable MCP wiring — in the article below.

An amateur rugby team in Texas spent $2,000 on a humanoid AI robot. Most people thought it was just a publicity stunt. Instead, they turned it into a business. The robot greets fans, creates behind - the - scenes content, signs merchandise with a robotic arm, appears at local events, and records personalized videos for sponsors. The result: $2,000 investment >$20,000/month in new sponsorships, content deals, and event bookings ROI in just a few weeks The interesting part isn’t the robot. It’s that every sports team is slowly becoming a media company. And AI is making that transition cheaper than ever. This is probably just the beginning.

@iiiichigo_chan The ROI is actually the interesting part here. One small investment that replaces a recurring cloud bill is hard to ignore.

A 21-year-old guy from Shanghai spent his last $3,000 on five Mac minis. His parents thought he had lost it. Five tiny computers. No apartment upgrade. No savings left. He did not buy them for gaming or crypto. He uses them to run private AI agents for small accounting firms: reading invoices, searching contracts, drafting reports, answering routine client emails. The firms pay $450/month because their documents never leave his local machines. > 8 firms x $450 = $3,600/month > $3,000 hardware cost > paid back before the second rent bill A cloud GPU setup would have cost him 10x more. A normal AI SaaS would keep charging him every time a client ran another workflow. Five Mac minis are not a data center. But for a 21-year-old with no investor and no runway, they are five employees that work while he sleeps.

@RoundtableSpace This is the first local AI project that’s actually made me want to dust off old GPUs.

MeshLLM pools GPUs and memory across your home, office, or friends' machines and exposes the whole thing as one OpenAI-compatible API. > 31 nodes, 5 active models, 277GB of pooled VRAM — no cloud involved > Models too large for one machine get split across peers automatically > One endpoint, localhost — the mesh decides where each model actually runs - No subscription, no cloud bill, just hardware you already own Your personal GPU cluster was always possible. Someone finally made it a one-node setup. Github: github.com/Mesh-LLM/mesh-…

@raidenfomo This is exactly why I’ve started looking at used 3090s instead of paying for more subscriptions.

THIS REPAIR GUY TURNED A $240 DEAD RTX 3090 INTO A BOX THAT KILLS $4,200 A YEAR IN AI SUBSCRIPTIONS AND SOLD 21 OF THEM IN JUNE. The card on his bench came in a box marked defective. A gaming cafe outside Shenzhen let it go for $240 because it wouldn't start. He's 27, works out of a spare room, and knows something the seller doesn't: nine dead cards out of ten aren't dead. Seized fans and dried thermal pads. The chip underneath is fine. New pads, two fans, forty minutes with a screwdriver. One card a night, after dinner. A red tin of screws sits at his elbow. Pause at 0:15 on the gold edge connector, that card sold new for $1,499. His buyers aren't gamers. They're people who added up their subscriptions: ChatGPT Pro, Claude, Cursor, Perplexity. $350 a month, $4,200 a year. A 3090 carries 24GB of memory, the same 24GB as the $2,000 RTX 4090. Search RTX 3090 on eBay right now and check. 24GB runs a 32B open model through Ollama, free, twenty minutes to set up. The card pays for itself before the second billing cycle. The models behind the paid tiers stopped being special: open 32B models caught up on most tests. The hardware got thirty times cheaper the day it left the data center. The subscription never dropped a dollar. A subscription is a taxi meter. The car gets cheaper every year. The meter ticks at the old price. Twenty-one cards in June. $680 each, minus the card and $35 in pads and fans. $8,505 clean, out of a spare room. Your card statement has the same five lines his buyers cancelled. Save this before "defective" stops meaning cheap.

@Liquiddeny "Because 'trying' is just the first step. Next comes 'configuring', 'integrating', 'remembering to update', 'fixing it because it's broken' and 'explaining to the team how it works'. That's what they pay for. Free is a lure, not a business model."

@JacobMReed0 If you need it and it's free, too then why not give it a try?

OBSIDIAN'S CEO DROPPED 5 FREE SKILLS. HE'S CHARGING $2,200 EACH TO INSTALL THEM. 6 CLIENTS. $9,000/MO. No SaaS. No wrapper. No API resale. The skills sat public. Most gave a like. He read it and thought: who would pay to have this in-house? Law firms. Agencies. Medical practices. All run on one fragile system — critical knowledge in one head until that head leaves. At 0:07 the GitHub repo is right there — those are the free skills he sells the installation of. His loop: > Pulls 3 years of client files into one vault > Connects Claude, hardens permissions > Delivers in 3 days $2,200 setup. $1,500/mo. 6 clients. 10 hours a week. Five skills from the CEO. One business on top of them. Would you keep downloading free tools — or start delivering them for $2,200 a client?

@seeconvm The hardware is cool, but the real lesson is spotting demand before everyone else. Infrastructure usually looks boring until it starts printing money.

A 27-year-old filled his apartment with 100 Mac Minis $59,900 in hardware Now the machines process AI workloads for smaller companies that can't afford expensive infrastructure The interesting part isn't the Mac Minis It's the niche he found Small teams need compute Someone has to provide it Most people look at AI and think about apps Others look at it and see infrastructure His apartment became a server hub And the hardware paid for itself surprisingly fast Bookmark this before local AI infrastructure becomes obvious

The question is no longer “if it will happen”, but “when”. Would you trust a job interview?

Figures worth seeing: > Humanoid robot market by 2035 - $38 billion > One robot = $45–60 thousand/year savings on salary > No sick leave, promotions and turnover > NVIDIA Isaac is already training thousands of such robots in simulators

NVIDIA's robot was dressed in a suit and put on an "interview" - like a regular candidate. He walked. He answered questions. He acted so naturally that it's the scariest thing. This is no longer a concept. This is real video from the conference.

@0xKiyoro The airport part is wild. It really shows how much the creation process has changed. Consistency and picking the right niche still matter more than expensive equipment.

A 19-year-old built a 38M-view YouTube channel from airport gates. His audience is two years old. Last month, he generated another nursery-rhyme video while waiting for his flight. The script, animals, voices, music, and animation were all created on his phone. By the time boarding started, the video was already live. Then he noticed something strange. Parents sitting in the same terminal were playing videos from his channel to calm their children. They had no idea the creator was sitting ten meters away. He has uploaded 240 videos in 120 days. Baby sensory loops, nursery rhymes, and learn-to-talk videos generated without cameras, animators, or a recording studio. The reported RPM in this niche can reach $6–12, but the real advantage is watch time. A tired parent does not need Pixar. They need 15 quiet minutes while their child watches colorful animals repeat the same song.

A 24-year-old freelancer is making $18,000/month creating cinematic real estate listing videos with AI. The crazy part? He starts with just ONE property photo. No camera crew. No drone. No expensive editing software. His workflow takes around 20 minutes: • Claude writes the creative direction and shot list. • Higgsfield turns a single image into cinematic multi-shot videos. • Seedance 2.0 renders everything in crisp 4K. He charges real estate agents anywhere from $500 to $2,500/month because high-quality listing videos help attract more buyers and generate more leads. The barrier to entry has never been lower. If AI can turn one photo into a luxury property commercial, what happens when every real estate agent realizes they no longer need a production team? Would you pay $500/month for this service if you were an agent?

@0xKiyoro While everyone was playing games, this schoolboy was writing code. He posted it for free on GitHub and went to study. Two months later, some guy gave him 20k because he made 200k thanks to his script.

A 13-year-old uploaded a trading script for free. Two months later, a stranger sent him $20,000. He spent 14 days of his school vacation building a simple Polymarket terminal while his friends played games. When it finally worked, he published the entire repository on GitHub, returned to school, and forgot about it. Two months later, he opened GitHub and found hundreds of comments from traders using his code. One message stood out. A trader claimed the script had helped him make more than $200,000 in a month. He asked the boy for his crypto wallet because he wanted to thank him. Then $20,000 arrived. The boy had not sold a course, launched a subscription, or hidden the code behind a paywall. He built something useful, gave it away, and went back to class. The internet did the distribution while he did his homework.

@RetroChainer The barrier isn’t coding anymore, it’s finding businesses that actually need something built. The people who figure out distribution will benefit the most.

A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL MADE $15,000 A MONTH SELLING AIRBNB-STYLE WEBSITES CLAUDE BUILDS FROM ONE SENTENCE 00:02 no code. no designer. no figma. she types one line and claude does the rest. in the clip: "give me a prompt for an airbnb-style site." claude (sonnet 4.6) writes the whole spec back - sticky nav a "find your perfect getaway" hero, a grid of listing cards with photos, ratings, price, a favorite heart - then builds a live "staynest" site in seconds. that's the product. she just sells it. the model: describe it → claude drafts the prompt → claude ships the site → deliver → charge. about $500 a site, thirty clients, and that's the $15,000. a landing page like this used to be a week of work and a few thousand dollars from an agency. now it's a sentence and a coffee, at pennies of cost. no clipboard, no dev team, no six-month learning curve. the uncomfortable part isn't that ai can code. it's that the gap between an idea and a live product collapsed to one message, and most people still open claude just to ask it trivia. save this and build one before your niche fills with one-prompt sites.

@Bober_smart The tech is impressive, but the bigger takeaway is how quickly real-time AI is changing online entertainment. In a year or two, this probably won’t be unusual anymore.

A 26-year-old guy from Taiwan decided to play a prank on people, but in the end, he managed to earn $1,217 in 5 hours Claude changed his appearance to female, as well as his voice in real time The guy started a stream and began playing Dota; he was interested in whether anyone would guess what the trick was The result surprised him: no one thought it was AI, and furthermore, 14 minutes later, his first donation arrived The girl was so liked by everyone that, throughout the entire stream, he collected $1,217 in donations What started as a joke might become a source of income

A 25 - year - old developer built a small AI farm with just 4 GPUs. Each one cost around $500. Total hardware investment: > $2,000 He started renting out GPU power, running AI agents, training custom models, and hosting local inference for small businesses. A few months later… The setup was generating up to $10,000/month in recurring revenue. No massive data center. No venture capital. Just a smart setup and clients willing to pay for compute. The best part? He’s already planning to double the number of GPUs. This is only the beginning.

@whydeso $37K/30 days with Claude. Free Fable 5 + 50% higher limits until July 19. Use it.

Free Fable 5 plus 50% higher Claude Code limits through the 19th is genuinely a gift This model writes half my research pipeline Market breakdowns, data digging, the whole Second Brain setup i wrote about runs on it If you have a paid plan and youre not maxing these limits right now youre leaving the best model on the table Use the week its there
