@jarekceborski People thinking access to AI is some kind of right is crazy.

We need MacBook with Opus-level model running on it locally, for free, without limits.

Looks like we have passed the local maximum for consumer AI tools. It was fun while it lasted.

@OkienkoP4955 @r0ck3t23 Nice! Let me know how it goes

@helloimhari @r0ck3t23 ok i will build better 2 days later

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era. Almost nobody understood what he said. Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.” Not tech startups. The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees. The businesses that actually run the physical economy. They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it. Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.” Software is dead. The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever. AI ends the contract. The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business. But customized by whom. The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is. Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?” That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves. Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer. Let them fight. Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero. Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built. It collects where the brain meets the business. Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic. Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy. Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates. Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue. That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born. You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system. The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in. 33 million companies are standing in the dark right now. Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

No one talks about how the quickest cure for imposter syndrome is simply sitting in a meeting with very high-level corporate executives.

@TTrimoreau Dell Poweredge R730

Which platform do you use to deploy your apps? 🚀 -Vercel -Netlify -Cloudflare -Railway -Render -AWS / GCP

@kzitouni1 As someone who has done both. I always say the other one.

What would you rather be: Bootstrapped or VC backed startup and why?

@denicmarko Predictive Text

Which LLM are you using for coding?

would you stay inside your house for 7 straight days if someone paid you $850,000

@djcows AI isn’t a singular entity. Just like humans there are good ones and terrible ones.

if AI cures cancer, will the anti-AI people still hate AI?

Name 1 problem your product solves in 3 words… If you can't, you're solving too broad of a problem.

builders don’t want much just this dock

@khairulnazran Somehow all the money seems to be pouring into coding tools and note taking apps :(

We are building and overindexed into coding / dev specific use cases and selling back to these communities. Need more to touch grass and build things for industries and vertical which direly needs it instead

@senamakel @gregisenberg Just followed you, hmu!

@helloimhari @gregisenberg also, would love to have a chat with you. your DMs are closed

how to set up hermes agent step by step. built-in memory, 40+ tools, works on your phone, and what to think of hermes vs openclaw: 1. hermes is a personal AI agent that runs in your terminal. think of it like open claw but with built-in memory, 40+ tools out of the box, and 90% cheaper token costs. you install it with one command. 2. the 3 problems with open claw that hermes solves: no memory (you keep repeating yourself), constant gateway restarts, and zero visibility into what you're spending on tokens. 3. hermes remembers everything. every completed task gets saved to memory. it searches through past logs to find solutions. over time it literally gets smarter at your specific workflows. 4. connect it to open router. you see exact costs per model per task. free models rotate weekly. one founder went from $130 every five days on open claw to $10 on hermes. same output. 5. it comes preloaded with skills. apple notes, imessage, find my, browser, web search, image generation, cron jobs. no hunting for plugins. 6. connect it to obsidian so it reads your entire vault. connect it to gstack for your dev environment. create custom skills for your specific workflows. 7. the biggest money saver: have it write code once for recurring tasks. then it runs without burning tokens every time. stop paying an LLM to do the same scrape or report daily. 8. run it on android via telegram. name your agents. talk to them like coworkers. in this episode imran shows you how to set this up. 9. you can run it bare metal, in docker, or serverless on modal. pick your risk level. i begged @imranye to come on @startupideaspod and walk through the full installation live. he made it impossibly clear. if you've heard of Hermes Agent and want the clearest explanation of how to get set up like a pro let me know what you want me to cover on the next ep this is the best personal agent setup video on the internet right now. watch

@uncledoomer Gotta wait till Claude is back up before you can rip one.

guys im beginning to think theres a bubble

@toddsaunders Building the harness for these general models to get that specific can be a pain in the ass. Which then begs the question if it's worth it for the end user.

Everyone in vertical software is now talking about "vertical AI." I think that framing is obsolete within 6-12 months... maybe even sooner. The underlying premise is right. Domain-specific context makes AI dramatically more useful. A generic model is mediocre at everything, but a domain-tuned model is really good at one thing. But "vertical" implies static categories (HVAC, plumbing, roofing). The real opportunity isn't vertical, I believe It's fractal. Within HVAC, there are sub-verticals like residential service, commercial service, new construction, retrofit, controls, refrigeration. Within residential service, there are micro-verticals like high-end homes, multifamily, tract housing, mobile homes.Each one has its own pricing, its own compliance requirements, its own customer communication patterns, its own definition of success. Vertical AI stops at "HVAC." Fractal AI goes all the way down to "a 3-truck residential HVAC shop in Phoenix that specializes in heat pump conversions for homes built before 1970." The platform that can dynamically adapt to any level of specificity, from industry to sub-vertical to micro-vertical to individual business, takes the entire market.

Tried to build in public, but got too busy with the build that we didn't do much 'public-ing'. Closed beta went really well! So many people shitting on the app which in turn drove a lot of cool changes, and now we are in open beta! Sign up and shit on it some more. meetcrunchy.ai

@leopardracer Why does Claude Design suck at maps? this is the 4th post I've seen with a world map drawn by a toddler.

SOMEONE BUILT A PERSONAL AI DASHBOARD WITH CLAUDE DESIGN AND OPUS 4.7 AND IT FEELS LIKE A PERSONAL OS

@stanmaltman @cryptopunk7213 Buy high, sell low. Follow for more tips

my god. anthropic casually going after bloomberg terminal and every single data tracking provider under the sun 😂 bloomberg terminal charges $24K per seat this could affect major data platforms like DataDog, Google analytics, CRM dashboards and sooo much more Anthropic is building the control center for every single enterprise company unbelievable

@unclebobmartin The devs who thrive aren't the ones who code fastest — they're the ones who understand the system well enough to know when AI is confidently wrong. Taste + judgment are the new moat.
