shipped postctl 1.0.0 last week. solo. one month from first commit. would not recommend the pace but the result is hard to argue with.

vibe coding made shipping software easy. postctl is doing the same for marketing. point claude at postctl.com/agent and it runs your flow so you never skip a day. the vibe marketing era is here.

@sean_a_mcclure @sfali789 @AFpost People ignore that they’re also next token predictors, otherwise they would be able to give us the final word they’ll say, and then speak for 5 minutes and end on that word, but they cant.
English
The phrase “glorified autocomplete” is a surface level analogy that anyone who actually understands AI knows is false.
Are models trained on next-token prediction? Yes. And what does that objective induce in deep networks? …learning of deep statistical structure across language, concepts, and reasoning patterns. For now, this is indistinguishable from consciousness. This doesn’t mean AI *is* conscious, it just means it is currently indistinguishable, and to suggest otherwise cannot be argued without committing fallacy.
Calling AI glorified autocomplete is like calling physics curve fitting. As dumb as saying a novel is just ink on paper.
Your flawed inference is this:
If the mechanism is simple → the output cannot be meaningful.
Evolution is just replication + variation + selection, and yet it produces all the complexity you see in life (including consciousness).
Thermodynamics is “just particle motion” and yet produces temperature, pressure, entropy, phase transitions, irreversibility, and quite possibly the arrow of time.
In other words, you are treating prediction as shallow, rather than as a constraint that forces structure.
Now, if these words are too big for you, and you’re tempted to call my response “chatGPT” or “AI slop” (which wouldn’t preclude the argument even if true) I would be happy to use smaller words and easier analogies.
So try making an argument and let’s see how you do.
Unless you’re just projecting an insecurity, about AI showing you that what you held special in humans was anything but. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Your move. Or anyone who tapped like on your meme.

Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious.
After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!”
Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

@danlockin @ThePeterMick I hope so! Let me know if you give it a try and what your experience is

Working on your startup this weekend?
Go ahead and pitch it to us 🏆
Seen by thousands last week and founders made sales here before 💰
English
Is this something you’d use? Not sure?
How about asking Claude to generate a monthly marketing campaign and scheduling it, and running your projects campaign on autopilot?
@postctl is built for this
Anders Marksen@andersmarksen
@ThePeterMick This week I launched postctl.com - a platform that lets you hook up your agent (Claude, codex etc) to X, and soon, every other social platform. You can schedule your posts directly in the terminal!
English
@andersmarksen @ThePeterMick Would love to see this on EverList!
English
Easiest way is to ask your agent to do it for you:
Use postctl.com/agent to manage my X account.
Help me set up an account and link my X handle.
But you can do it on the website too.
On the list for the next few weeks: instagram, tiktok, threads, facebook, Pinterest, bluesky, Reddit and so much more!

yesterday i quietly launched @postctl without a party it's minimal right now, supporting just 𝕏 but i'm planning to add the other social networks to it too it allows your agents (claude, codex, etc) to schedule and manage your content without any need for skills or mcp, just through pointing it at postctl.com/agent the user interface is minimal, and fits on one page so why did i build it this way? earlier this year i launched @witty_social and within a week i had a handful of customers using it and enjoying it. i spent months working on the slickest user interface for getting the best out of 𝕏 and then, just like that, the API changed and broke half of the offering i felt demotivated, instantly burnt out, and had to rethink the whole approach to what i was building i've been building products for decades, but only building in public for about two years. i read something that stuck with me: if you're going to change projects, stay in the same vertical so while witty is still active and has some MRR, i needed to rethink my approach while not throwing away all the knowledge i'd built up about 𝕏 and other social networks at the same time, we're seeing this massive change to using agents to perform work while we become co-ordinators, but they're not quite there yet you can't just ask claude to generate you 20 UGC videos and post them to tiktok a day apart, you can't ask it to manage your 𝕏 feed and turn your blog posts into tweets in your voice and if you could, it wouldn't or shouldn't be using user interfaces for it, it should be using agent interfaces, but not mcp or a2a or any other convoluted protocol because let's face it, we already have everything we need: HTTP, SSL, RESTful APIs so that's what i'm building. i'm building for agents, i'm building to make it easier for people to work with their agents to schedule & manage their content across social networks easier than ever before it's lean, it's inexpensive, but it works well

yesterday i quietly launched @postctl without a party
it's minimal right now, supporting just 𝕏 but i'm planning to add the other social networks to it too
it allows your agents (claude, codex, etc) to schedule and manage your content without any need for skills or mcp, just through pointing it at postctl.com/agent
the user interface is minimal, and fits on one page
so why did i build it this way?
earlier this year i launched @witty_social and within a week i had a handful of customers using it and enjoying it. i spent months working on the slickest user interface for getting the best out of 𝕏 and then, just like that, the API changed and broke half of the offering
i felt demotivated, instantly burnt out, and had to rethink the whole approach to what i was building
i've been building products for decades, but only building in public for about two years. i read something that stuck with me: if you're going to change projects, stay in the same vertical
so while witty is still active and has some MRR, i needed to rethink my approach while not throwing away all the knowledge i'd built up about 𝕏 and other social networks
at the same time, we're seeing this massive change to using agents to perform work while we become co-ordinators, but they're not quite there yet
you can't just ask claude to generate you 20 UGC videos and post them to tiktok a day apart, you can't ask it to manage your 𝕏 feed and turn your blog posts into tweets in your voice
and if you could, it wouldn't or shouldn't be using user interfaces for it, it should be using agent interfaces, but not mcp or a2a or any other convoluted protocol
because let's face it, we already have everything we need: HTTP, SSL, RESTful APIs
so that's what i'm building. i'm building for agents, i'm building to make it easier for people to work with their agents to schedule & manage their content across social networks easier than ever before
it's lean, it's inexpensive, but it works well
