things keeping me up at night about where AI is actually going:
1. "ambient businesses" are coming. basically, agents monitor the market, handle customers, execute decisions. you check in every few days. 7-8 figure businesses with almost no daily human input. we're early but it's happening.
2. you can now build a company in an hour. grab an idea, vibe code it, add stripe, get a customer. the old timeline was 12 months to first revenue. that's just gone.
3. the internet went app store era → API economy → agent economy. we're now in the part where agents hire other agents on the fly. fixed tech stacks are dissolving. nobody's built the glassdoor for AI agents yet.
4. vertical AI is replacing headcount. that's 10x the market that vertical SaaS ever touched. boring industries like insurance, construction, legal, elder care are the goldmine.
5. SaaS pricing is flipping from per seat to per result. someone is going to build a billion dollar business just by converting legacy SaaS companies to outcome based pricing
6. a whole graveyard of generic SaaS is coming. basic CRMs, analytics dashboards, template marketplaces, scheduling tools. agents just do it better. lots of incumbent saas that are generic and not reinventing themselves right now will struggle/reprice.
7. "human made" is becoming the new luxury. porsche already ran a 100% human made ad campaign. no AI is going to be a premium label like organic is for food. there's a real business in that certification.
8. IRL is having a renaissance. when everything is AI generated, being in a room with other humans becomes scarce. karaoke bars, escape rooms, live music, co-working. the experience economy is accelerating.
9. founder market fit is dead. founder agent fit is what matters now. can you direct a fleet of agents like a film director? that's the new unfair advantage.
10. ghost team org charts are coming. two real people, twelve agents with names, faces, personalities. your about page is going to look the same
11. 1000 true fans is now 100. agents cut your costs so much that 100 customers at $500/mo is a real solo business. micro monopolies across multiple niches. this is the playbook.
12. context window poisoning is the new phishing. cybersecurity hasn't caught up. agents have access to your files, email, bank accounts. bad things are going to happen. it's also a massive startup opportunity.
13. the window is open for maybe 12-24 months. then the moats get built like data, brand, trust, network
14. build cost is basically zero. audiences are underpriced. niches are wide open.
idk about you but i'm not sleeping much
so much opportunity
this is the most asymmetric time to be building a startup.

I am 28 years old, and I have lived my entire life suffocating under the Islamic Republic. I am writing this from the streets of Tehran, nearly a month into a war, and let me tell you a truth that the outside world cannot seem to comprehend:
My biggest fear right now is not the missiles.
My paralyzing, everyday terror is walking out my front door and hitting an IRGC checkpoint. It is the sickening knot in my stomach when the people I love step outside, knowing they might get dragged away by these monsters. Nothing is, was, or ever will be worse than this regime. You cannot convince me otherwise.
I am bleeding myself dry. I spend every ounce of my energy and money fighting this digital blackout, buying VPN after VPN just to force a connection through so I can be the voice of my people. And what do I see when I finally get online? Analysts sitting safely abroad telling us, *"You haven't tried all the paths yet!"*
Are you out of your minds?
The last "path" we took, over 40,000 of us didn't come home. On that path, a live bullet flew centimeters past my ear and right past the head of the most precious person in my life. I almost lost my best friend forever on that asphalt. What goddamn path is left to take?
Why do you trample on the spilled blood of my compatriots? Why do you spend your time fighting Crown Prince @PahlaviReza instead of listening to a crushed, bleeding nation?
Last night, I watched his speech. Do you know what I felt?
Relief.
The profound relief of hearing an honorable man echo the exact pain and demands of his people, with more precision than anyone else. And I felt pride. I felt absolute pride in the truth, structure, and beauty of his words.
Do you know how heartbreaking it is that pride is a foreign, alien emotion for an Iranian today? He gave that back to us.
We screamed his name with all our might. 40,000 of our fallen heroes signed his leadership with their own blood.
Stop fighting our choice.
Listen to us.

Don’t stop showing the world what the Islamic regime has done to the Iranian people. Expose their evil deeds.
Don’t stop talking about Iran.

“The Iranian regime poses no threat to the world.”
Honestly, every time I hear that sentence - usually from a politician or a very comfortable diplomat - I mentally put a big red X on their ability to understand geopolitics. Not disagreement. Disqualification.
Let’s walk through this slowly, for the well-meaning but dangerously naive.
In what world is it normal for a state to recruit 700,000 fighters from across Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan… arm them, train them, and deploy them as transnational militias outside the authority of their own countries?
In what world is it normal to effectively hijack the political, economic, and military decision-making of a neighboring state like Iraq, while simultaneously fueling civil wars in Syria and Yemen that have left millions dead and tens of millions displaced?
In what world is it normal that half of a country’s armed forces - namely the IRGC - is designated as a terrorist organization by dozens of countries… and yet continues to operate, fund, arm, and expand?
And here’s my favorite.
In what world is it normal for a regime to transfer ballistic missiles (multi-warhead systems with ranges exceeding 2,500 km) to a terrorist non-state actors like the Houthis?
Let me simplify that.
Sovereign-level strategic weapons… handed to narco terror militias.
Militias that traffic in narcotics, humans and chaos.
And somehow, we’re told this is… not a threat?
Even NATO countries like Germany or Italy don’t field that kind of range in their arsenals. But a militia in Yemen does?
Perfectly normal. Nothing to see here.
And all of this is happening in a region that holds roughly 60% of global oil and gas reserves, and controls the world’s most critical maritime choke points - Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, and the Suez Canal.
So let me ask the obvious question.
If this is not a threat… what exactly qualifies? Explain it to me like am a 5 year old!!
Do we wait until global energy flows collapse? Until maritime trade is strangled? Until missiles start landing beyond the region?
At what point do we graduate from “not a threat” to “perhaps mildly concerning”?
Because from where I’m sitting, the regime isn’t preparing to become a threat.
It already is one.
Oh, I forgot .. All of the above is happening while the same terror sponsoring regime is seeking nuclear weapons and in actual control of 460 kg of highly enriched uranium enough for 11 nuclear bombs!!🤦🏻♂️

@TheEconomist The epitome of attempted narrative shaping by headline. Gross.

A month of bombing Iran has achieved nothing. Will Donald Trump escalate, or talk? For now, at least, the advantage lies with the Islamic Republic. Register for free to learn why econ.st/4bPYtXk

@TousiTVOfficial When a bunch of lunatics run your country anything is possible. I thought they were mourning the minab school girls but yet they expect literal children to become soldiers in a war. This regime couldn’t get anymore disgusting. #RezaPahlaviForIran

Be wary of any expert or media analyst who speaks in certainties about what is happening, what is truly known, or what will happen next, especially in a war that is still unfolding. Confidence is not the same as accuracy. The battlefield is dynamic, information is incomplete, and both Israel and the United States are actively shaping conditions in ways that are not fully visible in real time. Assertions about inevitable outcomes, imminent collapse, or guaranteed failure often reveal more about the analyst than the war itself.

Hit em as hard as you can. Then hit them harder!
Tousi TV@TousiTVOfficial
President Trump on the Islamic Republic of Iran: “We've been hitting them awfully hard. I don't know if you can possibly get hit harder. These are thugs, and animals, and horrible people... but I'm not surprised, they executed 3 young people for protesting.”

Here are the absolute ABCs of what Iranians inside the country actually need from the world right now:
A: Internet. Break this digital blackout so we can coordinate our uprising and expose their crimes.
B: Strikes on the Basij. Keep leveling our occupiers. Every precision strike on these militias is one less terrorist shooting us in the streets.
C: Guns. We have fought a rabid, heavily armed death cult with empty hands for decades. Arm us, and watch exactly how fast we finish them.
It is exactly that simple. Stop the endless diplomatic debates and give us the tools to take our country back.
