I got early access to Replits Agent 4.
it makes building so much fun.
in an hour I...
> found a local business with no website.
> built them a site that looks like it came from an agency.
> had multiple agents working on new features at the same time.
> made a custom pitch deck
> and a custom mobile app for the business, just for the fun of it.
incredible.

There’s no denying it’s going to massively increase competition though. So not going to zero but enough of a squeeze to feel similar inside those companies. The coasty ZIRP days are over (thank god)
Klaas@forgebitz
if the cost of software was truly going to zero no one would invest in replit, lovable, cursor or any other software building platform there will be more software than ever before which means more problems to solve

I’m reminded of a story a friend told me from the early days of the dotcom boom when he got the chance to shadow the top salesperson at the hottest company in Silicon Valley.
He said the guy literally just picked up the phone when it would ring and wrote down the orders.

Anthropic is valued at $380 billion. For nearly a year during its fastest growth period, their entire marketing operation was one guy. Austin Lau, a non-technical growth lead, was running paid search, paid social, email & SEO completely solo. Just Claude Code & some insane automation he built himself without writing a single line of code. Here's the exact workflow: - Export ad performance CSVs into Claude Code - AI flags what's underperforming - Sub-agent 1 writes headlines - Sub-agent 2 writes descriptions - Figma plugin auto-swaps copy into 100 ad templates - MCP server pulls live Meta data to close the loop Output went up 10x. Creation went from 2 hours to 15 minutes. Conversion rates beat industry average by 41%. This isn't AI helping a marketing team. This is one person replacing what used to be a 50-person department.

@JamesonCamp Yeah there’s a certain element of not wanting to break things by asking for too many changes once you get too far along, as you referenced above, which leads to a lot of vibe-looking outputs going around. I don’t speak canva/figma so I can’t not but be excited!
English
@dkor07 Wait you’re one of the first people that actually understands why I’m so excited by this haha

We are 99% of the way to letting generalists and ecom people execute $50k of dev work and $10k of design work in a weekend
AI closed the coding gap a while ago. The problem was always design. Your code worked...it just looked like a developer built it.
I've been using Manus to design Shopify funnels and it's actually great for that. But the second you try to edit a specific element, you're basically starting over.
Replit just cracked this:
1. Tell it what you want
2. It spins up 3 design variations at once
3. Pick the one you like most
4. Actually edit the individual elements without the whole thing breaking
Step 4 is the unlock. Nobody cared that AI could generate a landing page. We cared that we couldn't touch it after without blowing it up.
Oh and by the way, you can have multiple agents building in parallel while you're editing. So while you're dialing in the design on one page, the next three are already being built.
If you're a Figma power user this won't move you. But if you're a small team building funnels, landing pages, or apps and you know the loop of generate, hate the design, regenerate, lose your edits...
That loop is over.

@ryan_tech_lab @Shpigford @openclaw Bingo.
That’s pretty much the case for all AI showcasing. “Look it can do this!”
“but can it do this” (yeah),
“what about this” (yeah!!) then you’re off down a rabbit hole of things you don’t need.
Overwhelmed = undersold
English
@Shpigford @openclaw Don't show her capabilities. Ask what frustrated her this week. Then set it up to handle exactly that one thing. First aha for non-techies is always specific relief, not a broad demo. "It handles the thing that was annoying me" lands harder than "it can do almost anything."
English
what's the fastest path to "aha!" w/ @openclaw for someone who's not a completely insufferable nerd?
(i'm the completely insufferable nerd. my wife, however, is entirely pleasant. she's heard me ranting about 🦞 for weeks, so i'm trying to onboard her without overwhelming her)
English
@neversitdull You’ll realise that they are hardier than you think. Helicoptering drops off out of sheer necessity but it still seems as great an experience as first. Lots of the hard things/unknowns are easier second time round.
Main advice is to just enjoy

@bentossell @stephsmithio This sounds v similar to Total Immersion! I did more or less the total immersion method and was able to swim comfortably (albeit, with breaks) for up to 2km in a session. Was in a similar situation as Steph, could swim but not very well.
English
i used to swim for wales, my coach was the olympic coach and friends went to the olympics
- head as still as possible
- waterline at your forehead
- should turn your head like 30 degrees max, the wake of your head/momentum creates space for you to breathe to the side in a 'little pocket'
- let your legs naturally kick first before trying to get them to propel you anywhere
- roll your shoulders
- long stretching strokes forward - your arms should glide, pull, lift, place back in the water
- try and 'catch' the water - paddles are good practice for this
- in freestyle, when you pull the water back, 'pick' up your elbow to then take it forward
- imagine a border down the centre of your body, its your pivot point for your upperbody/shoulders and your arms should never cross it
take less strokes than you think you need, glide
i'll be in sf end of april if you want a session!

I took swimming lessons growing up but am an objectively bad swimmer.
Decided 2026 is the year I become a good swimmer. Specific goal is to be able to calmly swim for 30 mins like running in Z2.
Anyone else done something similar? Any tips or resources?

@tomfgoodwin The ones claiming ‘consciousness’ and ‘all jobs gone by 2027’ usually have Shovels and/or courses to sell via doom porn and unrealistic timelines.
I remember the CEO of my ex holdco agency promising in 2017 that “all media would be bought programmatically by 2025” 🤷🏼♂️
English
If we have incredibly smart AI experts, people who've been in the field for 20 years saying the idea AI could ever be conscious or intelligent, is UTTER hogwash.
& then v v smart people in the space say "their agent may already be conscious"
What explains this ridiculously big delta & why is nobody else calling it out?
It seems like there should be enough people who form a consensus to completely annihilate the other side and make them look like fools.
FWIW, I tend to agree with the former, in which case how come AI founders not routinely dragged over the coals.

i made a 3-day Claude Cowork for Beginners course, and it's yours for free
by the end, you'll have a personalized AI teammate on your computer that:
• knows your style
• connects to your tools
• and produces finished work you can send immediately
here's what you get:
day 1: install cowork, set global instructions, and run your first real task (15 min)
day 2: workflows that replaced hours of my week, including building landing pages from a description and running full competitive analyses in one prompt
day 3: skills, plugins, and connectors so cowork actually knows how you work and can access your tools
+ copy-paste prompts so you can follow along as you read
like + comment "COWORK" and i'll DM it to you

JUST IN: NBC News poll reveals AI favorability at just 26% — lower than ICE.

@saylordocs Except that wallet can never sell cos as soon as it does 📉📉📉📉. So in essence it’s paper money that could never be realised

I like to imagine a future where the CIA sits on the fact they invented Bitcoin until one BTC is worth $100M, at which point they sell Satoshi’s stash ($110T) to clear out the national debt and cement their place in history as the greatest deep state known to man
English
@forgebitz I also remember just a few weeks ago when openclaw came to life people saying we’d never own devices again cos AI will swallow up all the GPU capital. 😴

@tomfgoodwin or if they are in charge of emptying the dishwasher. which is of course, a 30 minute task

I’m pretty sure whether people listen to podcasts or not is almost entirely dependent on their commute length

AI quality output is still an issue.
“It’s not output that’s the issue—it’s quality” /s
You can see this with your own eyes with text that has clearly been written or heavily influenced by AI. How do you see this in a field outside your own expertise? If you are using it in your own field, how much time are you spending reviewing and cleaning up?
It adds up
