I spent 8 years scaling Discord and got burnt out cause modern work is broken. We’re overwhelmed with too much info across apps, teams, and agents. AI made it worse. We’re building the solve. I've joined @tryhighlight as CEO and we raised a $40M Series A led by @KhoslaVentures.

I've loved your other works, I love the spirit of this one, and I love how you're approaching writing broadly. Congratulations on the launch, I purchased on Audible immediately, looking forward to it!!

🚨📕 THE BOOK OF ELON IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎉🚀 This is the book we WISHED @elonmusk would write… “All of Elon's most useful ideas, in his own words.” Learn directly from the world’s greatest entrepreneur, like you’re sitting across from him at dinner. It took FIVE YEARS to make this for you. Because it's built from hundreds and hundreds of Elon's public appearances. I went through 3,000,000+ words to collect the most useful and timeless ideas. The final book is ~50,000 words. Every word is USEFUL. (This is what I do. My first book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, is one of the top 100 most highlighted books of all time on Kindle.) Then, I spent $50,000+ on editing and design so it looks and feels beautiful. Then… > Foreword by @naval. > Visuals by @jackbutcher. > Blurb from @mrbeast. > Published by @scribemediaco. > And yes, approval on this idea from Elon himself, thanks to @samteller. I went Maximum Effort to make this an all-timer. We got 10/10 on reviews from early readers, then worked on it for ANOTHER YEAR. Why so much effort? My mission is to create One Million Musks. For a generation to lift our gaze and build, so our grandchildren live in a world beyond our wildest dreams. I’m an independent author. I don’t get an advance. I risk my own time and money to make these books. Then we give away millions of them. Digital versions are free. I believe this book can benefit every human, and if you can’t pay five bucks for it, I want to personally gift it to you. Because I know it is useful. Useful how? You may be seeking purpose, a mission worthy of your life’s effort. You may have a clear purpose and seek the tools for success. You will find both in this book. Get the benefits of Elon’s entire life of hard-won lessons in a five-hour, easy read. (I checked, it’s a 5th-grade reading level.) You’ll feel personally mentored by the greatest entrepreneur in history. Click below to buy it now on Amazon, Audible, or directly from me.

AlphaClaw 0.7.0 just dropped 🐺 📅 visualize @openclaw cron jobs & usage insights 💬 slack now a first-class channel (thanks @keaganstokoe) 🛠️ easy per-agent tool scoping 🦞 2026.3.11 base github.com/chrysb/alphacl…

* Open source with no lock-in * 📅 Google Workspace OAuth & pubsub built in w/ gog-cli (my next step) 🔄 Auto-backup to GitHub 💬 Telegram multi-topic workspace setup wizard 📊 Token usage & cost analytics built in

Such a big fan, thank you for doing this @chrysb !! I did the misery of hrs of OpenClaw deploy based on their docs and still couldn't get there at first, and then AlphaClaw solved that setup and more. 🧵 on why this is must-have for me

introducing 🐺 AlphaClaw, the ultimate setup harness for @openclaw. open-source, self-managed, free-to-use, with no lock-in. AlphaClaw makes OpenClaw setup and maintenance easier by providing an elegant GUI that wraps OpenClaw's CLI. 📅 Google Workspace OAuth & pubsub built in w/ gog-cli 🔄 Auto-backup to GitHub 🧱 Prompt hardening reduces agent drift 🩺 Drift Doctor analyzes your prompts and workspace for drift 💬 Telegram multi-topic workspace setup wizard 📂 Full file browser and editor, no SSH needed 🐕 Watchdog auto-detects crashes, self-heals gateway 🛠️ Manage env vars from the UI 🔑 Manage model keys & OAuth visually 🪝 Webhook creator & inspector with replay & debug 📊 Token usage & cost analytics built in ⬆️ One-click updates, no redeploy needed 📦 Import existing setup from GitHub i didn't build alphaclaw to replace openclaw or compete with it. openclaw is the best user-owned AI agent framework out there and more people should be able to use it without wrestling a CLI for two hours. there are so many managed "deploy your AI in seconds" product. but they lock you into their platform. if they pivot, shut down, or jack up pricing, your agent goes with it. alphaclaw gives you that same one-click simplicity, but everything runs on your infra with your data. no proprietary backend. no config hostage. if railway disappears tomorrow, you still have a standard openclaw instance backed up to your own github repo. everything alphaclaw does, you could do manually. it's just automation and UI on top of the real thing. outgrow it? disagree with its opinions? eject. your openclaw instance is still a standard openclaw instance. to make it convenient, i’ve created both a one-click deploy template on railway and render to start quickly. make sure you have 8GB of ram on your instance. look forward to your feedback and to building this out with the @openclaw community! 🦞 github.com/chrysb/alphacl… feature deep-dive in the 🧵

The Age of AI Agents Has Already Begun AI Assistants improve your workflow. AI Agents replace it. That leap is the difference between a better product and a new category. But most people still don’t get the difference. They’re adding AI features to their existing tools. A little auto-summary here. A chat window there. They call it a “copilot.” It feels helpful. It demos well. And it’s exactly how they fall behind. Because Assistants are the last step in an old era. Agents are the first step in a new one. The Last Era Was Built Around the User Interface Think back to the last SaaS revolution. It was all about who could create the best UI. Clear dashboards. Easy configuration. Simpler onboarding. The best SaaS companies weren’t smarter. They were just nicer to use. That era is over. Now everyone’s interface looks the same. Your product isn’t competing on usability anymore. It’s competing on agency. The Assistant Trap Here’s what most companies are doing right now: Add a chatbot to their existing product. Fine-tune some prompts for the most common tasks. Ship an “AI copilot” feature. And they stop there. But if your AI still needs the user to ask it to do something, you're not building a smarter product. You're building a busier one. You’re handing the user more power, but still making them do the work. That’s not leverage. That’s delegation. The Real Shift: From Tools to Teammates An AI Assistant is like a great intern. You tell it what to do, and it does it quickly. An AI Agent is like a great operator. It already knows what needs to get done, and it starts doing it before you even think to ask. That’s the line. Once crossed, the product stops being a tool you use and becomes a teammate you rely on. And when that happens, your category doesn’t just evolve. It splits. Here’s What Happens Next The best startups in this next wave won’t just have fewer buttons. They’ll have no interface at all. You’ll log in and your campaign’s already optimized. Your landing page is already deployed. Your insights are already surfaced. You’ll get the result without needing to know the prompt. The product doesn’t wait. It watches, learns, and acts. Most SaaS Startups Are Repeating the Windows Phone Mistake In 2007, Microsoft responded to the iPhone by... adding touch to Windows Mobile. It was a “smart” move. It looked modern. It technically worked. And it died. Because the iPhone didn’t add touch, it rethought the operating system from scratch. That’s the opportunity AI Agents give us now. Not to bolt on features. To reimagine the product’s foundation. Build the Agent, or Become the Interface Here’s the hard truth. If your product isn’t evolving into an Agent, it’s on its way to becoming an API. Someone else will build the Agent that sits on top of it. And then you become the infrastructure. Invisible. Replaceable. Forgotten. That’s why this shift matters. It’s not just about user experience. It’s about existential risk. The Takeaway If your AI product still needs human prompts, it’s already behind. Startups that win the next era won’t use the word “assistant” at all. They’ll build systems that act, learn, and evolve without being told. Because the next great products won’t ask the user what to do. They’ll already be doing it.

@CollinRugg Mrs. Nutley most be the perfect name

NEW: Ohio High School counselor admits to s*xually abusing a student in her office, blames her husband for "neglecting" her. Remarkable. Married mother of three Emily Nutley, 43, has pled guilty to two counts of s*xual battery. The student had come to Nutley for "help and guidance" and got Nutley's "perverted s*xual desires" instead, according to Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers. Nutley was the director of academic services at a private all-boys high school in Cincinnati where she worked for 18 years. Nutley started working with a 17-year-old boy and eventually "had s*x with him in her office" according to TMZ. She is also accused of having oral s*x with the boy once on campus and once off campus and sending him n*de photos. "When the victim attempted to stop the encounters, Nutley continued to contact the victim via text messages," the DA said. Nutley's husband, Jonathan, is now filing for divorce. After the divorce was filed, Nutley responded by accusing her husband of being "guilty of gross neglect of duty and extreme cruelty." She faces up to 10 years in prison.

This jives with everything we were seeing in the trenches - led to so many debates!

Here is the simple talk version of what’s wrong with California’s fire situation. My background: My startup plants trees. We want to accelerate global reforestation because it’s the simplest and most immediately scalable solution for closing the gap on climate change. It also has a lot of other benefits like making the land healthier and more beautiful. Learning a lot about trees means I also had to study forest fires and how to prevent/manage them. If you are a fire/land management expert, I apologize for the details I will elide and concepts I will simplify. Help me educate the public and our leaders with simple models. People say “wildfires are happening because of climate change!” and the climate deniers then say, “No, it’s happening because of bad forest management!” and then the conversation stops being useful. Let's set that argument aside. It’s hot and dry and very windy, and that means if a fire starts in a place where there’s a lot of fuel, it will become a raging wildfire. Yes, we can argue about whether it’s due to climate change, but we also have an immediate problem with wildfire and the weather is hot and dry and very windy. We have to solve that: the problem where our houses are burning down. You can think of it as a chain with many links, each one is a necessary cause. One link is the hot and dry weather. Another link is the fuel supply. Another could be climate change as a proximate upstream cause. But for us to prevent wildfires we just need to break ONE LINK. Here is the key: We must remove the fuel supply. It is our only solution at this point. This is why: Fire is a natural part of the ecosystem. As a part of the natural ecosystem, you need to have regular low-grade fires that burn dry material and even, in some cases, help certain plant species seed and grow. A lot of people understand this at small scale - on Sunday you and Grandpa go up and burn 10 acres on the back 40. However, many past decades of fire policy that focused on over-suppression has led to a buildup of dry fuel. In recent decades, we’ve learned about the need for prescribed burns, of the natural role of fire, and our fire management people try their best to do those burns. But they simply cannot burn enough of the fuel backlog. There are many reasons for this, and if you want to get blame-y about it, an uninformed public, spineless politicians, and bad structural incentives are all at fault. But that misses the point. Until recent times, the weather wasn’t quite as dry and hot, so this fuel backlog was, if not great, still not disastrous. But now the weather is - for whatever reason - hotter, drier, and the winds are blowing hard. And now the margin of error is smaller, and that fuel backlog HAS TO BURN. How much fuel backlog? Here’s where the numbers matter. To restabilize our natural ecology in terms of fire, there is so much built-up fuel that roughly 20 MILLION ACRES in California of land with pent-up dry fuel need to burn. Each year, our fire and forest management people are able to burn 20,000 acres. The most ambitious and optimistic of those guys estimates that maybe in five years we might be able to increase that to 40,000 acres of prescribed burns. WE ARE OFF BY THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. We need to get rid of this fuel backlog. And we can’t do it by burning it. And by the way, we’re not going to solve it by solving climate change. I’m working on that with Terraformation, and along with everyone else who is working on it, it will take (best case) decades, and what we will get is (again, best case) getting back to a world that’s cooler and wetter where the fuel backlog still exists, it just doesn’t go up in flames as often. WE NEED TO MECHANICALLY REMOVE ALL OF THAT FUEL BACKLOG. This is a mega-project and we need to do it. We need to cut, thin, rake, scoop up, replant, and otherwise remove 20 million acres of dry material and get rid of it without burning it. (One solution is to burn it in sealed pyrolytic ovens that turn it into biochar without release the CO2) The scope of this is enormous (and unthinkable in our recent political Overton Window). But I say the time has come again for giant mega-projects. It costs roughly $2000-5000 to clear an acre, depending on terrain specifics. This means $100B in total - if I were running the plan, I would try to do it over a 5-year period, focusing on strategic points first upwind of cities, so it would be $20B/year for 5 years. If we don’t do it - by the way, our margin of safety goes DOWN every year it gets hotter and drier - it will burn and burn and burn again and we will pay for it in far worse ways. It is time that we get back to a mindset of “the natural world is dangerous and can kill us” and our solution to that has to be “let’s mobilize all our resources and ingenuity to solve it in a big way.” In this case, the state of the “natural world” is kind of our fault, so all the more reason to solve it. But it will not get done by half-measures (or 0.1%-measures, to be technical). This is landscape-scale restoration of land we (and our predecessors!) have mismanaged! We can get to work and solve it, or we will suffer more. sources: propublica.org/article/they-k…

a pattern we'll see with new wave of consumer AI apps: the more you use the product, the more tailor made the product becomes for you. beyond memory of past activity and stored preferences, the actual UI and defaults and functionality of the product will become more of what you want and less of what you don't. it's a new type of "conforming software" that becomes what you want it to be as you use it

Meet @askjoai – the latest product from @liveink and me, focused on making AI actually work for regular people. jo’s supported by @YCombinator / @garrytan / @dflieb, seed led again by @VCMike @resolutevc, and many awesome founder friends.

@longevion I do - excited to reconnect with DeSci enthusiasts in the area!

Who in DeSci lives in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Honored to @standwithcrypto !

This is a tough call and will make some people upset, but, all things considered, I think California should probably pass the SB 1047 AI safety bill. For over 20 years, I have been an advocate for AI regulation, just as we regulate any product/technology that is a potential risk to the public.
