I'm building a tool that replaces the last 10 years of my professional work. In 6 months, this tool will do everything I was paid to do: - Content Ideation - Scripting - Video Editing - Copywriting - Scheduling - Publishing - Analytics - Iteration... In the age of AI, someone is going to replace me. But thankfully, I get to be the one that builds the replacement. Replace yourself with something better... before someone else does it for you.

OpenClaw is the most powerful tool I've used in my professional career. Want it to email you? Give it an address and a token. Want it to give you ideas? Feed it data and let it crunch. Ideas not good enough? Tell it why. Want a dashboard? Ask it to build it. Wait 5 mins. Want a permanent URL? Buy one. Give it some info, it links everything on its own. Don't know what to do next? Just ask. Think it's not possible? Give your best guess, and ask, "How could we do this?" You can just do things. Just ask.

@SirWrender @4DV_ai Oh this is insane!

Oh we talking 4D gaussian splats? @4DV_ai

@joss_mason5 Not seeing it

@masonltompkins Mason dmed you something about explaining complex things simply

Claude Code is the greatest thing the birth of AI has given us so far. An agent that works on my apps locally, over multiple steps, and then notifies me once it's done AND it compiles with no errors? Are you joking? This is Tony Stark level modern magic.

@_samirism @OpenAI This seems to come at the perfect time as my iOS dev chats are losing context, will it help with long context windows like for coding?

we've been improving memory. ChatGPT is now more reliable at finding and remembering details from your past chats, like recipes or workouts. give it a try - and let us know what you think

@thisbrowngeek @Stranger_Things Planting a flag, the ninth spot will be the making of documentary that was announced and we’re expecting

You NEED to see this! @Stranger_Things Season 5 EPISODE 9 (conformity gate) is basically confirmed! WATCH THIS! #conformitygate #conformitygatetheory

@paulcerro @SThingsMeme Nailed it

@SThingsMeme Wow, that's how bad the last season was. Fans are hoping for a conspiracy theory that will lead to something better

A growing conspiracy among some Stranger Things fans is that the finale is actually an illusion created by Vecna, and that the true ending will be released in a secret Episode 9.

All of this culminates in a casual tapping game you can play while you wait in line, and climb the leaderboard as you learn how to do it for REAL. It's free, it's an MVP, it's only available on iOS 26.1+... Here's a link if you want to try it out. I'm biased, but it's actually pretty fun! apps.apple.com/us/app/creator…

You'll start with 100 followers, the ability to draft a post, publish a post, and build your funnel. When you've built a Product, published posts gather Leads to Retarget and sell your Product. You can hire a team, make them faster with training, and increase performance metrics through an upgrade path that teaches which skills Social Media Managers ought to develop.

I "failed" to learn to code 3 times before I quit trying. But today, my first app published on the iOS App Store. I'm so stoked, I don't care if only 3 people see this. I just want to share, because this is one of the most exciting moments of my career. More in thread 🪡

@sama It's good! Swift development's been smooth. Only thing is, it's slow! Or perhaps only the perception of it is slow, because it'll pause typing for minutes at a time and then all of a sudden show the full output.

Even without the ability to do new things like output polished files, GPT-5.2 feels like the biggest upgrade we've had in a long time. Curious to hear what you think!

GPT 5.2 - It's good! But it's slow af.

Solo creators don’t fail because they “lack discipline.” They fail because they build content that can’t sell anything. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Most creators spend 90% of their time making content… and about 0% of their time making a system that turns that content into money. You can post every day until your thumbs fall off. If there’s no funnel underneath, you’re basically doing digital community service. Here’s the simple framework I teach solo creators who want their content to actually drive revenue: 1. Make content that attracts the right person... NOT "everyone". If your posts could apply to “anyone,” they’ll resonate with no one. Your audience should know EXACTLY who you are for, in the first sentence. (Yes… even on LinkedIn.) 2. Use content to educate the problem, not pitch the solution. People don’t buy your offer before they believe the problem matters. Your content should make them say: “Damn… I can’t keep doing this the way I’ve been doing it.” 3. Build trust by being specific, not loud. Creators think they need charisma. They actually need clarity. Specific examples beat motivational slogans every single time. 4. Make your funnel stupid simple. One lead magnet. One nurture path. One offer. Creators drown themselves in complexity because it feels like “work.” Complexity doesn’t convert. Relevance does. 5. Your content is your sales team. Treat it like one. Every post should do one of three jobs: • Attract • Educate • Convert If it does none of those? Delete and try again. If you're a solo creator building a business on content, this is the game. Not trends. Not virality. Not posting for the algorithm gods. A predictable system that turns attention → action. I talk about this stuff constantly... building content that actually feeds a sales funnel, without burning you out or making you post 10x/day. If you want more posts like this, hit follow. I’m building in public, teaching everything I know, and showing the systems I use with brands and creators every day. What part of your funnel feels the most confusing right now?

I probably have a terabyte of client videos on my dropbox that are archival v1, v2, v3 versions of long dead projects that needed a few revisions. Anyone else?

@businessbarista Bonus points for a gpt that trains on all data, copy, and transcripts - then I can ask questions about what to change for better performance.

I’ve got you! This might even be enough for SaaS. I’m close with Replit but still working on it 5-9 I need a Mac or Web App that allows me to track every available data point for every post on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads, YouTube Videos, YouTube Shorts, YouTube Posts. Then I want a fully customizable dashboard with multiple graphing options. It automatically determines 90d benchmarks and 10% Trimmed Means for each platform. Reports can be generated with filtered metrics, timeframes, etc You can set custom calculated metrics, like a column that is a multiple of the view benchmark. So if the benchmark is 100k and the post gets 1M, you see a 10x. Give me some flexibility to be creative with average view percentages or other ideas. Then if I can be greedy, let me schedule and publish posts from it too. No other app does all of this, for every platform, under $6k/year

I want to prove I'm not exaggerating when I say great AI engineers are 10x faster (without sacrificing quality). Here's how I'm going to do that: Step 1: Reply to this post with an engineering request. It can be ANYTHING. Custom AI model, fullstack web app, mobile app, full-stack agent — anything. Step 2: By midnight tonight I will pick one request, lock one of our @tenex_labs engineers in a room, and they will build it in 24 hours. Step 3: I will post an update every hour to show how an AI engineer builds so quickly. Ready...set....go 👇
