@business There are definitely a lot of people reaching out to SMBs (my co-founder @dylangans did a webinar with the @accausa (Air Conditioning Contractors Assn) and virtually every single person was getting hit every day with inquiries!

Small-business owners say they’re fending off sometimes multiple inquiries a day from investment bankers and private equity firms bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

At the start of the year the team wanted to hire a data analyst. We even posted the role. Now, I think the role is completely dead.
Everyone had data needs and not everyone knew SQL.
I had been using AI to write queries for over a year at this point but the problem was I still needed to be knowledgeable about our data base structure & provide fairly specific instructions.
Then one weekend, I fired up Claude Code with all of our SQLMesh context, all of the queries I had written, and the business knowledge that it has to write a markdown file explaining how our data was structured and what business terms meant.
I gave this to our data visualization tool (s/o @_hex_tech) and now their agent handles all of our data requests for anyone on the team. If a query is wrong, we update the markdown file.
We completely democratized access and removed any barriers @baton_market to knowledge.
Hex is great but the pattern works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc. just as well.

@BrockHBriggs We have lots, but @SBA_Matthias is a great place to start (as a loan broker)!

Anyone have a great experience with a SBA lender? Drop some recs.

@srcasm @AnthropicAI @shaig @brettperl Why only transplants and not folks building here for a decade (or two!)

NYC is *a* new home for so many people building incredible things in the AI ecosystem. Hosting an intimate dinner with @AnthropicAI soon. We want to find the best transplant founders building the future in the city. Tag the most exciting new arrivals below. cc:@shaig @brettperl @andruyeung @lindsaykap @TeddySolomon11

Huge game this Wednesday vs. @UIC_MBB. Pls come out and support at 8pm. As we continue to build @CalMBBall at this amazing institution, we need to lock arms with each and every one of you. Business owners are **the key** to the new world of NIL. We need business owners from across this amazing state of California to step forward and continue to build something special right here at Cal. I repeat, **business owners** are the key to the new world of NIL and we need to QUADRUPLE the business owners that we work with. Let's build something special together! Every business size can help! Appreciate you! 🙏🙏 Pls retweet if you are with us!

@chenliw @meetgranola @Dropbox Think if they shipped a CLI (along with the MCP) before this change or in parallel, there would be less blowback, since a bunch of folks are using their OpenClaw agents to run workflows on top of Granola and OC agents don't natively support MCP.
English
Getting deja-vu from seeing complaints about @meetgranola encrypting the local DB for security reasons.
In 2011 @Dropbox got flack for a similar issue - unencrypted local DB exposed the host ID token (though you needed root). Can’t please everyone…

Choose wisely people!
HVAC and Plumbing businesses look good here, but whole swaths of categories are at risk...

I'm green/red color blind so @karpathy's Jobs Treemap was REALLY hard to discern and quickly review.
But since he posted the code on Github, I was able to ask my Openclaw agent to fork the repo and deploy a color-blind version where Blue = Green and I can actually see much more clearly in 30 seconds! 😅

@farhaj Maybe entrepreneurship is the next blue collar job — and SMBs are just plain better businesses with better margins as AI bleeds into every nook and crannie.
English
The next 10 years are going to be all about internet-native SMB’s.
Entrepreneurship is the new white collar job.

Excellent piece by @anuatluru on how AI is collapsing the gap between white collar and blue collar work. The punchline: the "luxury rights" of white collar — autonomy, creative ownership, a seat at the table — were always premiums on scarce cognitive labor. AI makes that labor abundant, and the premiums disappear. What's left looks a lot like a trade. Small business owners have always known this. They never had the white/blue collar distinction. They set direction AND execute. They're the strategist AND the plumber. As white collar "goes blue," more people are going to realize: owning a small business might be the most honest job there is. workingtheorys.com/p/white-collar

@anuatluru Ha, glad the rest of the world (and the largest infrastructure buildout in history) are catching up! ;)

@jhong I mean, I look at salaries of people not executing and being AI-pilled enough as tokens the others can use for more impact in the business.
English
Meta laying off 20% is just the beginning. But this is not about replacing all humans with AI, at least not at the moment. This is about the people who are spending time on the side getting good at using AI becoming so much more productive that the companies can let go of the people who aren't doing that.
People who don't keep up are going to be let go. People who keep up might actually get raises.
English
@howard Same if you replace "something" for "employee" and fits (you might have intended that!)

when something isn't going to work, i prefer that it simply end badly, instead of fighting along and showing glimpses of improvement, creating the false impression that it may work out after, when in your gut you know it won't

@gillee I mean, I am just keeping it away from our money... the rest is kind of fair game (it doesn't send any emails w/o my permission either)

holy shit, I gave Openclaw the (thing I hate but have to do) job of booking parent teacher conferences thru a site that looks like it was built in the 90s and it did it flawlessly.
