Yesterday I said stop selling AI for $2-5k. Here's what you should actually be selling instead: Phase 1: Audit ($3K-$5K, 2-4 weeks) Phase 2: Build ($25K-$60K, 6-12 weeks) Phase 3A: Dev Retainer ($3K-$8K/mo, ongoing) Phase 3B: Maintenance ($500-$2k/mo) For mid-market ($10M-$50M ARR), shift up: Audit: $4K-$6K Build: $35K-$75K Retainer: $5K-$10K/mo For enterprise ($50M+): Audit: $7.5K-$15K Build: $75K-$250K+ Retainer: $10K+/mo The audit is the wedge. The audit is what separates you from every 22-year-old with Claude Code who'll build whatever they're told. You're selling the map. The build becomes inevitable once they've seen the map.

In our experience, CEO/managing partner-led engagements are most successful. Reports in charge of a function are tough. Despite our efforts to explain how AI can supercharge their roles, they perceive it as a threat to their jobs.

If you’re using a ton of AI it is so important to do other things that engage your mind. I play golf and strategy games, read, started writing again. I’m starting to incorporate debating and discussing hard things with people with differing views. Keep your mind engaged.

Every startup ceo I know is having an existential crisis. Don’t worry. Just keep building, learning, and finding the sweet spot. The moat is no longer the ability to be a great purveyor, everyone has the same common ingredients now. Be more like a world class chef. Take these ingredients and apply taste, creativity, judgement and execution to make delicious things.

Some observations on agents from a lot of time spent installing, using, debugging and building things with OpenClaw, Hermes, etc. - Most people who rave about OpenClaw, HermesAgent etc. have not actually used it. Facts. - Agents are developer products today. They are so so so far from being consumer grade in terms of delight, simplicity, reliability etc. - I wish the agents generated more dynamic interfaces. Don't give me chat. Give me interactive, dynamic apps/webpages. I suspect this will be a next big vector of innovation. - The agents are ultimately a wrapper to code-generation and tool-calling....not to "generative AI". This is important to grok. These agents are doing most of their "work" through iterative tool calling. - Once you understand the core loop behind agentic AI, old school "chat AI" doesn't make sense. The idea of an "always-on" agent that actually adapts, learns and maintains state is a LOT more compelling than a one-off chat prompt. The latter feels much more like a search query. - So much of mangling with agents today is basically setting it up to use browsers and/or your computer. And there are so many constraints! - Installing and running openclaw feels a lot like running Linux in the early 2000s. You spend a lot of time compiling device drivers, setting up configurations etc. You feel a real sense of accomplishment from jerry-rigging everything together but it is a LOT of work to get to the point of utility

@alexandersok @tenex_labs I think that is the right shape of the market. Most SMBs do not need a giant transformation program. They need someone who can audit the workflow, wire AI into existing tools, set guardrails, and keep it running.

We started out doing AI implementation for small business. Then realized, we were much better at something else. I still believe it is a massive opportunity, but it won’t be a consolidated play. More like local IT/web shops. @tenex_labs will likely dominate the top end of the market. They have a great strategy and running it flawlessly! Ultimately, as the frontier labs realize the bigger opportunity is in the application not the utility, the market will become increasingly more difficult to compete in. Not to mention all the big consulting groups are in play with their massive networks and resources.

Heard someone say, you may not always be patient, but you can always be kind. I am still learning and practicing that.

On page twenty-six of “The Billionaire Tax” proposal in California, it explains how the state legislature can convert from a Billionaire Tax to an Everyone Tax without voter approval. They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval. Intelligence test for you: if this was meant to just target Billionaires, why did they write this in?
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath

The Billionaire Tax is actually an Everyone Tax. The Billionaire Tax is a new tax proposal written by four professors who don't believe in the American dream. Some of them aren’t even American…go figure. Despite its name, it applies to every California resident who currently has assets or ever will. The creators named it the Billionaire Tax so you would get into a froth andwouldn't look closely at what it actually does to you. On page twenty-six, it explains how the government can convert to an Everyone Tax without voter approval. They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval. Here's how the tax would work: As a voter, you're being asked to approve a tax that would require you to: 1. list all your assets and the value of each, then submit them to the California Franchise Tax Board. 2. authorize the tax board to appraise your assets and confirm the value of each. 3. pay a penalty of up to forty percent of your tax bill if the board determines your reported value was too low in their opinion. 4. allow the tax board to subpoena your financial records from every one of your financial institutions for auditing. This Everyone Tax runs 34 pages of shifty language describing how the government plans to take your assets. Read the fine print and decide for yourself. If this were truly a billionaire tax, it would be 3 pages. It’s 34 pages so that it can create the mechanisms to steal from all of you.

Why isn’t Claude design built into Claude code? Am I missing something?

If you teed up at @CoricaPark later in the day and came across a very nice Toulon and kept it on March 12th. I wish you that you always remain a terrible golfer. Good ones have the decency to return it. Here’s to you and your 20 handicap. Shame!
