2 tháng học AI Vibecode, mình nhận về con số 0! Xin chào mọi người, mình là Web3 community builder. Nếu như anh chị em trong group có đầu tư crypto và biết @gm_upside thì… hellooo mình là Vĩ đây - một admin chuyên làm phiền mọi người với 450 bài đăng trong group mỗi tháng 😁 Trong bài viết này, mình muốn chia sẻ cách mình đã tận dụng AI để xây dựng cộng đồng Upside trở thành một trong những cộng đồng crypto active nhất ở Việt Nam như thế nào? Kể lại một xíu từ cuối 2024, khi mình mới bắt đầu handle lại cộng đồng Upside ở group Facebook, lúc đó số lượng bài viết mỗi tháng trên group chỉ có 100 bài và Upside cũng chưa mở rộng sang những kênh khác như X. Nhưng kể từ khi mình áp dụng AI trong quá trình build cộng đồng Upside - Số lượng bài viết trong group đã tăng từ 100 => 600 bài tháng - Active member tăng trưởng từ 60k => 90k/120k member - Kênh X Upside tăng trưởng từ con số 0 lên 6 triệu impression/tháng - Cá nhân mình, từ 1 người không biết gì về liên quan đến dev/code đã biết vibecode để xây dựng được cho mình Agent nho nhỏ để phục vụ công việc như thế nào? Nghe thì thấy cũng xịn xò tưởng mình dùng AI vibe code được gì ghê gớm lắm nhưng thật ra mình chưa làm ra được cái app nào cả và cũng chính vì lý do này mình mới muốn chia sẻ hành trình cá nhân để cho mọi người thấy ai cũng có thể bắt đầu áp dụng AI trong workflow hằng ngày từ những thứ nhỏ nhất - cho dù bắt đầu từ con số 0 như mình 😁

We speed ran the same prompt through B3OS and Claude Code and got 2 very different results: B3OS created a live url in under 2 mins, ready for agents or people to accept fiat + any token on any chain. Claude, which required several prompts over 7mins, could only send instructions. We could not circumvent having to manually sync our vercel and alchemy accounts. What's the difference? - Claude is a general purpose AI. - B3OS is AI operating a purpose-built machine. B3OS understands crypto, payments, wallets and all the tools you use every day, natively.

Vietnam is on track to have an economic boom. But the massive tail-end-risk is their over-indexing on crypto. There's way too many Singapore and Dubai crypto heads whispering in the ears of the policy makers here. They also buy the attention of builders with $10k grants thrown around. All the crypto initiatives (like most crypto) make no sense, provide no value to society, and are only designed to pump someone's bag. Thankfully they're all proposals for now and nothing fully implemented.

Vietnam vibe hits different 🥰 I’ve been living in Vietnam since 2019 (Dubai in winter since 2023, summers back in Vietnam), and I’ve never seen this many tourists. The country is going through a real tourism boom. People realized Bali is overrated, Thailand got overhyped back in ’22 - now everyone’s discovering new spots. I was saying back in 2020 that Vietnam’s best tourism days were still ahead. Looks like that call aged well. On top of that, Vietnam ranks #1 globally in crypto and blockchain adoption. I was recently at the Vietnam Blockchain Association office, and after that visit we decided to actively support the country’s growth in this direction and work closely with the government on it. Overall, Vietnam has the most chill vibe for me out of all Asian countries. Vietnam just hits home ✌️

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

i’ve been saying this too AI will replace many people and it’s scary 4,000 out of 10,000 employees of @blocks will be fired - are you replaceable right now? - can AI do your work? if yes, what are you doing to make sure you won’t be replaced?

This post is spot on. From my experience, the biggest impact of OpenClaw is marketing automation. And it’s been genuinely effective for me. I’m slowly replacing the students I used to hire for content, automating more of the workflow, and scaling my apps toward $50k–$100k/month (currently at $24k/month). And I’m doing it with as much profit as possible. I’m an indie hacker not VC-backed so profit matters more to me than vanity revenue. Keep building 💪

This is the first AI cut. And it will send shockwaves. Remember: Jack is one of the greatest founders of all time. He created this platform that we’re all on, and has been early to many technological shifts. And Block was doing very well as a business. So, for him to cut 40% of headcount in this way is a signal to everyone in tech: get good now. Become indispensable. Work nights and weekends. Learn the AI tools and raise your game. Or you might not make the cut, as an employee or as a company. I know. That sucks. But capitalism is natural selection. The market is unforgiving, because you are the market. After all, it’s not like you’re buying some random gallon of milk from the store; you’re always buying the best product at the best price. So too for apps: your customers are always installing the best piece of code they can get. And because AI is going to create new winners, if you aren’t the best in your market, someone may become better with AI. Particularly with the new agentic workflows. To be clear: Block’s severance is generous by any measure. 20 weeks of pay, six months of health insurance and vested equity, all of that goes far beyond any typical package. Jack did his level best to cushion the disruption. The laid off are a temporarily unfortunate class, as opposed to a permanent underclass. But had he not leaned into the AI transition, he might have had to lay off more people, slowly, and over time, as faster competitors went after his market share. How would they do that? Sure, AI isn’t a panacea by any means, but the closer you are to software engineering the more aggressively you need to embrace agentic workflows. The AI companies are already doing that, and places like Stripe, Shopify, Coinbase, and now Block are pushing hard on this area. There will be overcorrection. But the fundamental technical innovation is real. And you need to either disrupt yourself or get disrupted.
