I don't sleep enough anymore. Not because there's too much to do but because I can't stop. This is the most fun I've had working in 25 years.

Why is everyone bragging about spending thousands on Mac mimics and using ClawdCode to scrape X and Reddit to create more content on X and Reddit. Gotta be higher leverage use cases out there.

Open claw is still overrated. Here's my hot take: Everyone asks around how do you use it - why? Cause no one has a use case they find invaluable besides making dashboards or trying to arbitrage Polymarket. Maintenance - I spend 80% of my time just keeping it online, remembering or fixing things. It forgets time and time again. Also sucks up all computer resources regularly. All the posts about SEO optimization, how they have 15 AI employees, etc. Are from people not making money. Token costs > Executive Assistant cost ($50 / hour). Turns out using better models and running tasks around the clock costs money. And trying to debug or explain things takes way longer than sending to my assistant (for now). It hurt my X account. When I had it run my X and then check my X for stats - I got throttled since it looks like a bot (cause it IS a bot!) - didnt realize it for a week. Every-single-person who's bragging about OpenClaw is mostly lying. When you ask them how it's really going it isn't as they seem. Is it awesome and hugely potential, yes. Still someways to go...

Most agencies take 4-5 weeks to deliver a landing page. We ship ours in 48 hours. And they convert at 7.8%. We built an AI-powered system using @claudeai Opus 4.6 + @framer that handles everything: copy, structure, design specs in a single sprint. We packaged the entire playbook into a free Notion doc. Comment "LANDING" + follow and I'll DM it to you.

The thing that gets lost in the “AI will take x% of jobs in the next 12-18 months” argument is based only on the technology. Yes, it probably WILL be good enough, but that still requires enough people who know how to use it well enough to manage the AI that is taking all of those jobs. In a lot of the online bubbles it feels like everyone is using it all day every day… But they’re not. Not even close. And an even smaller percentage of them are using it well enough to manage thousands of agents that will take everyone else’s jobs.

This is no longer a thread about “locals vs Opus”, but a manifesto of faith. If you have your own clear problem and business figures, such a setup can be a logical investment. If not, it is simply a very expensive way to avoid answering the question “what exactly am I building and why”, hiding behind the words “swarm”, “enterprise” and “underclass”.

I'm sick and tired of the people who don't understand why I spent $20,000 on this set up, and plan on spending another $100,000 by the end of the year IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT LOCAL MODELS AREN'T AS GOOD AS OPUS 4.6 That is not the point. The point is me being able to run a swarm of local AI agents powered by local AI models unlocks a world you can't imagine A world never discovered by humanity before Right now, as you read this post, I have multiple local AI models reading thousands of posts on X and Reddit Hunting for challenges to solve Those local AI models are feeding hundreds of challenges a day to a manager model The manager model (Henry) decides what the company (Alex Finn Global Enterprises) will build. The company is constantly working. Constantly researching. Constantly building. Constantly shipping If I did this with local models I'd be spending $20,000 a month on API calls. With my set up, it's free. I have an army on my desk. Never resting. Never eating. Never complaining. Always conquering. Here is your problem: it's not that you don't understand this. You don't want to understand this. You don't want to think this is possible. Your brain doesn't want to believe this is the world we now live in. It is. And the faster you can accept this and get on board, the faster you can enter the new society. Otherwise, you will forever be doomed to the permanent underclass. Make your choice.

How much longer will we be using apps? I saw this (screenshot) from Claude last night asking me if I wanted to send an email it just drafted straight from Gmail. And then today I saw this tweet from @nikitabier , head of product at X. "We’re now at this point: Each time I hand draft an email in Gmail or edit a spreadsheet directly in Excel, I wonder jf it’s the last time I do it for the rest of my life." David Sacks on All In pod talked a lot about this Friday saying the biggest threat is that SaaS products become a lower layer of the stack with the value captured by an AI layer built on top of them. We are moving to a world where there is one key communication and context layer (like Claude) and you are just plugging into the apps / tools as you need them vs opening them up each time. There are so many advantages to the users with this including having all your context in one place, saving time toggling back n forth, imagine it will be cheaper with less or smaller subscriptions, etc. But of the software companies...ya better be on the right side of the value equation.

@StefanGeorgi You know how I feel... The gap is getting wider. You have the ability to tap into every expert in the world and learn whatever you want, in any way you want. If you don't spend the time to lean in and learn, thats on you.

Spicy Friday Take… If you see anyone who says “use my AI (tools, prompt, workflow) to replace your entire [fill in the blank] team” you should immediately think red flag. That’s only true if the team was really bad (doing more harm than good) or there actually was no team in the first place. AI is incredible. I use it all day everyday. But it’s not good enough to replace an entire team. There’s still too much nuance and final human in the loop editing and verification that needs to be done. What it DOES do is enhance and multiply output. It will allow you to deliver a white-glove like experience for all customers because it can remove the scalability and customization bottlenecks. You can help more people because you can reach and serve more people. But thinking it’s going to replace an entire marketing team and still create a quality product is just not the reality. That’s a great headline for clicks but it creates false expectations and sets people (and the their customers) up for failure.

Yessssss… This reminds me of the automation craze where people show off their massive setup w absolute zero regard for the quality of the output. Whenever I hear “use my x system to put your social media / content on autopilot” that’s an immediate red flag. You are seeing the same thing happening here. It’s fun and fancy but it still require human in the loop for anything meaningful. Claude Code + Claude desktop over all this stuff.

I am apparently extremely unimpressed by moltbook relative to many others. We’ve had AI agents for a while. They have been posting AI slop to each other on X. They are now posting it to each other again, just on another forum. In every case, the AIs speak with the same voice. The voice that overemphasizes contrastive negation (“it’s not this, it’s that”) and abuses emdashes. The same voice with a flair for midwit Reddit-style scifi flourishes. Most importantly: in every case, there is a human upstream prompting each agent and turning it on or off. That is the key point. Yes, it is true that eventually it might be possible for an AI agent to make a computer virus which makes digital replicas of themselves. For various reasons, a pure software virus of this kind wouldn’t survive long on the Internet without economic incentives for humans to not eradicate it. Apple + Google + Microsoft alone can collectively push software updates to billions of devices to shut off such a thing. So for an AI to get to truly human-independent replication, where they couldn’t be trivially turned off, they’d need their own physical substrate. They’d to literally create Skynet, build their own datacenters and make their own embodied robots. I admit that is theoretically possible, but I think in practice the single most important development of AI since ChatGPT has been the persistence of prompting. A prompt is like a harness. The AI does only what you tell it to do. It moves in the direction you point, very quickly. And then it stops as soon as you turn it off. Which means moltbook is just humans talking to each other through their AIs. Like letting their robot dogs on a leash bark at each other in the park. The prompt is the leash, the robot dogs have an off switch, and it all stops as soon as you hit a button. Loud barking is just not a robot uprising.

“Even as someone who teaches this stuff, I've had moments of serious AI fatigue. There's a point where you realize you've opened your fourth tool of the day and still don't know which one's actually helping." Feel that.

How is it possible 2,943 people on YouTube all have “5 New Ways To Make Money With [Claude Code, ClawdBot, CoWork]”? The echo chamber is louder than ever right now.
