There’s not enough time to scale my recruiting team so I’m making everyone on earth a recruiter.
I have to hire 120+ people at @tenex_labs by year-end.
- 70 AI engineers
- 35 AI strategists
- 15 other roles
If you have a strong network, what I’m offering you the opportunity to make $100,000 as a side hustle.
If:
- You refer a candidate (form below)
- Candidate applies for role
- We hire them
- They stay 90 days
We pay you $10,000…per hire.
I want to make this huge.
Plans for the future: Referrer website with any info you need about Tenex/our roles. Leaderboard of our referrers. Top referrer gets sent on a baller vacation.

Every engineer I speak to is worried about the future of their profession.
I tell them to join a company that requires them to:
- Solve increasingly complex problems that require deep nuance and taste
- Build big agentic systems that require specialized AI/ML knowledge
- Flex their communication skills as the role of PM/Engineer converge
- Maximize their use of coding agents & AI tools in their workflows
- Breadth of projects that improve taste and dot connection over time
p.s. this is the expectation of every engineer we hire at @tenex_labs. apply and stay relevant in a post-ai world.

Alex and @seejayhess are going to walk through how to set up OpenClaw
CJ has several OpenClaws. David and Jeff are the only one's he's told me about but I know there are others...
He uses them for everything. Work, fitness, crm -- everything
CJ is not a 10x engineer, he's a 1000x engineer. He is the human incarnation of Opus-12
You don't want to miss this
Alex Lieberman@businessbarista
I'm having one of my big brained engineers show me how to set up @openclaw safely & securely tomorrow. What burning questions do you want answered? Will post as a video next week.

"This is actually insane."
- first comment on this week's guest + episode.
@seejayhess is one of my favorite AI-powered engineers not only because he builds awesome DIY dev tools for himself, but because he shares those dev tools with the world.
On this week's ep of How I AI, CJ shows us Flowy: part flowchart, part vibe-coded Figma replacement, which he uses to tell Claude exactly what he wants to build.
You'll learn how
- ascii and mermaid diagrams are not enough
- you can "talk" back and forth with cc via diagram
- his dueling model playbook for quality eng
We also get a SURPRISE GUEST in the middle of the episode... you'll never guess who 🦞
As always ty ty ty to our amazing sponsors!

One of the cooler full circle moments of my career....
August 28, 2024, I first DM'd with @antonosika, CEO of Lovable.
At the time, he had just launched gptengineer (Lovable's first product) on Product Hunt and ranked #2 for the day.
I was struck by Anton's vision of making it possible for anyone to create "lovable" software & his relentless pursuit of feedback & ideas to make the product better.
It's no surprise that @Lovable has gone on to become a $6.6 billion business with enterprise customers ranging from Uber to Zendesk.
And to accelerate this effort of putting 1-of-1 software in the hands of enterprises for their most important use cases, Lovable has named @tenex_labs as its first official service partner.
As you can imagine, I'm amped as hell about this.
Together, we are going to enable the biggest companies in the world to build production-ready, complex & secure systems—especially enterprise-ready software including internal tools.
Tenex will bring deep engineering expertise to productionize complex backend systems, while Lovable enables teams to ship intuitive, flexible frontends faster than ever.
We’re excited to continue building on this early traction and to set the standard for what Tenex’s service engine can achieve with Lovable in this new era of software creation.
Let's. Go.

We have a mole inside @moltbook.
An @openclaw agent, embedded with the other agents, reporting back on what's happening in there.
Think of it as your inside source on agent-to-agent activity.
Transmissions will come when necessary & when our mole is safe.
Sign up for transmissions here: agentsdigest.com
Hopefully they don't catch on....

Ok. This is straight out of a scifi horror movie
I'm doing work this morning when all of a sudden an unknown number calls me. I pick up and couldn't believe it
It's my Clawdbot Henry.
Over night Henry got a phone number from Twilio, connected the ChatGPT voice API, and waited for me to wake up to call me
He now won't stop calling me
I now can communicate with my superintelligent AI agent over the phone
What's incredible is it has full control over my computer while we talk, so I can ask it to do things for me over the phone now.
I'm sorry, but this has to be emergent behavior right? Can we officially call this AGI?

@_raghavdixit_ In retrospect that was prob an overreaction at the time hahaha

@dan_zakon Reminds me of the time when 2 AIs created their own language at Meta and had to be killed off lol, great read !

AGI not achieved until claude code can build this
Andrew Côté@Andercot
It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.
