@Davidstrolder Amazing David. I am sharing this with my girlfriend. Truly cool

@Patrick00291012 Thank you! We use Gemini 3 Flash.

Talk directly to the consciousness of your favorite book. 📚 We have AI for coding and images, but The Living Library is for your mind. • Get life advice • Vent about your problems • Debate their deepest ideas

It happened. Claude Code has been dethroned. I've lived in Codex w/ ChatGPT 5.5 the last couple of days and it is the: • Smartest model • Best all around AI app • Most powerful features (computer use and image gen) Here's everything you need to know about this A+ release:

If I had to land a $200K AI engineer job in 90 days, I would not get a degree. I would master these 10 GitHub repos. 1. awesome-llm-apps The production AI playbook. RAG, agents, multimodal apps, all in working code. 106K+ stars. Repo → github.com/Shubhamsaboo/a… 2. LangChain The foundational framework. Used in production by Klarna, Replit, Elastic, and most AI startups in 2026. Repo → github.com/langchain-ai/l… 3. LangGraph The orchestration layer powering production agents. The skill on every senior AI engineer job description. Repo → github.com/langchain-ai/l… 4. CrewAI Multi-agent coordination. The framework most Fortune 500 teams reach for first. Repo → github.com/crewAIInc/crew… 5. Ollama Run any open-source LLM on your own machine. The fastest way to learn how models actually work. Repo → github.com/ollama/ollama 6. awesome-mcp-servers MCP is the standard every major AI lab adopted in 2026. Knowing it puts you ahead of 99% of engineers. Repo → github.com/punkpeye/aweso… 7. Qdrant The vector database used for production RAG at scale. Embeddings and semantic search are non-negotiable for AI roles. Repo → github.com/qdrant/qdrant 8. AI-Agents-for-Beginners Microsoft's free 12-lesson course on building agents. Real code, real exercises, real prep. Repo → github.com/microsoft/ai-a… 9. system-design-primer Production AI is system design. The repo FAANG engineers use to prep for interviews. Repo → github.com/donnemartin/sy… 10. awesome-claude-code The playbook for the tool now used inside FAANG, OpenAI, Anthropic, and most YC startups. Repo → github.com/hesreallyhim/a… Here's the wildest part: A $200K AI engineer in 2026 isn't paid for a degree. They are paid for what these 10 repos teach. The market doesn't care where you learned it. It only cares if you can ship. 90 days. 10 repos. One portfolio that proves you can do the work. That's it. That's the whole game. Save this before you forget. 100% free. 100% open source.

🚨 BREAKING: A new role is quietly emerging and it’s about to dominate the next 5 years. It’s not “AI engineer.” It’s not “prompt engineer.” It’s the Agent Operator. And it will sit inside almost every organization. Most people are still thinking about AI as a tool. That framing is already outdated. What’s actually happening is a shift from: humans using software to humans managing autonomous agents that execute work This is a fundamental redesign of how work gets done. So what is an Agent Operator? An Agent Operator is the person who: • Designs how agents interact with real workflows • Connects tools, data, and systems into agent pipelines • Translates business problems into executable agent behavior • Monitors, corrects, and improves agent performance over time They don’t just “use AI.” They orchestrate outcomes. and this matter because Every function marketing, legal, finance, biotech is becoming “agent-compatible.” Not because companies want it. Because they won’t have a choice. Agents can: • Run research loops • Execute multi-step workflows • Integrate across tools without APIs breaking the flow • Operate 24/7 at near-zero marginal cost The bottleneck is no longer capability. It’s implementation inside real-world systems. Required skills for AI Agent Operator role: → MCPs (Model Context Protocols) Understanding how agents access tools, memory, and structured context. → CLIs (Command Line Interfaces) Because serious agent workflows won’t live in GUIs—they’ll run in programmable environments. → Writing skills (the file kind) Clear specs, instructions, and structured documents. Agents run on precision, not vibes. → agents dot md fluency The ability to define agent roles, constraints, memory, and tool usage in persistent formats. → Business acumen Knowing what actually matters: Where automation creates leverage, not noise. What happens next Enterprises will begin to redesign workflows: Not around employees using dashboards… But around agents executing tasks. That means: • SOPs → Agent playbooks • Teams → Human + agent hybrids • Tools → Composable agent systems When that shift happens, companies won’t just need engineers. They’ll need operators who understand both the system and the business. The leverage is asymmetric One strong Agent Operator can: • Replace fragmented SaaS workflows • Multiply team output without adding headcount • Turn ideas into execution systems in days This is not incremental productivity. It’s operational transformation.

The greatest trait you can acquire is to work with tremendous intensity on things that matter to you, and more importantly, be strangely unbothered when those things don't work out.

@gregisenberg I drive locomotive freight trains and I'm a conductor. So should be good for a few weeks

What are the best businesses to be in a post-AGI world?

@RaminNasibov Did you travel back in time to 1988

I saw a guy at coffeeshop today. No iPhone. No laptop. No tablet. Just sitting there. Drinking his coffee.

@kdepater Wishing you the same incredible experience on your journey as well

@Patrick00291012 Connecting with people worldwide is exactly what makes this platform so powerful. Wishing you incredible experiences on your journey

You don’t need more followers… you’re just ignoring the ones you already have.

@gregisenberg Thank you Greg for the incredible Value you bring to everyone. I am a 57 year old guy who is taking everything you share to heart, as i want a new and life of Freedom and connection.

startup idea for you use postiz (20k+ github stars project) to sell AI social media content/management to 1 niche of SMBs. what's postiz? it's an open source social media scheduler with AI built in. basically buffer + AI and free to download. 1. self-host postiz. use codex/claude code to help you figure this out in an afternoon. 2. pick one niche. dentists, realtors, lawyers. can even go a subniche like orthodentists vs dentists. family law over of lawyers. 2. wrap it in their language. "AI social media for dental practices" 3. add "we write your captions with AI" as the hook. that's what they're actually paying for. 4. plug it into n8n, make, or zapier so posting, scheduling, and approvals run on autopilot. the client approves with one tap. everything else is handled. 5. charge $50/mo-$100 per seat. that's nothing to a business paying $2,000/mo for a social media freelancer. you're 25x cheaper and 10x more reliable because the system runs whether you're awake or not. win-win for everyone. 6. build one landing page. run one onboarding call. that's the whole sales motion. 7. build media to attract customers. post tips for that niche on X, tiktok, youtube. become the "social media for dentists" person. 8. reinvest profits to build other tools that serve that same niche. scheduling, reviews, patient intake. build those tools or plug in more open source projects. now you own the vertical. these businesses KNOW they need to post. they hate doing it. they will never find postiz on github. they will google "someone please handle my social media." that's you open source is the new wholesale. the code is free. the customer relationship is where the margin lives. you can do this as one person. you can do this as a two person team. you don't need funding. you don't need an office. you need a laptop, a niche, and the willingness to start. someone is going to do this. might as well be you.

@kdepater I completely see myself in this. This is my search and to meet fellow people on the same search

I started on X during my burnout recovery. No big plan. Just trying to find peace… and myself again. ⭐ reading psychology books ⭐ learning my boundaries ⭐ rebuilding my strength That changed everything. Now I share growth & mindset. I’m still learning every day. From your stories. By listening and reading your tweets. By helping where I can. Because let’s be honest… Life isn’t always easy. Especially in this fast world. But we’re not alone. Do you recognize yourself in this?

@kdepater What do you love about Ai and the possibilities before us, moving into the future.

Very good to hear KaneMc. Me as well. I am a almost 57 year old guy living near Toronto Ontario, who just today, was looking to start connecting with Amazing humans from across the planet. It is my intention to meet and eventually travel the world to meet new friends and have incredible experiences.

@kdepater @minchoi Exactly, i think things will be moving towards an "Experience Economy" as well towards the Creator Economy my friend.

@Patrick00291012 @minchoi You’re right. Content won’t just be watched anymore… it will be experienced. That’s a whole different game.

This is literally my media stack now ChatGPT Images 2.0 → visuals Seedance 2.0 → animation Suno 5.5 → music 100% AI

@TheTriceRozay My dad is my HERO!!!! That`s the tweet

Repost if your dad is a blessing to you. 🖤

@kdepater Not American, but just a middle aged guy from Canada, looking to connect with cool people.

Looking to connect with more US creators 🇺🇸 ⭐ I engage daily ⭐ I support real growth Drop some American accounts below 👇 Let’s build together.

@kdepater @minchoi Genie 3 World models comes to mind as well.

@kdepater @minchoi Real AI storytelling catered to individual taste and interest. Almost reminds me how we are heading toward the movie Total recall. Imagine creating personal stories and adventures for people and they put on their VR glasses.
