THIS CHINESE TEENAGER MAKES $6,800 A MONTH PRODUCING VIDEOS WITHOUT ACTORS he built a content factory in CapCut Video Studio, defined the characters once and now only changes the plot one character library feeds drama series, cliffhangers and brand ads, all from the same canvas brands pay him $250-500 per video and he delivers in a day because the characters are already built by month 9 he was making $8,000 with a $19.48 monthly subscription to CapCut Pro while you're paying actors, he's shipping a new episode every day from one canvas

@Xyroxxl great breakdown, thanks

ANTHROPIC JUST DROPPED THE MOST POWERFUL AI MODEL EVER BUILT AND IT WILL DRAIN YOUR USAGE LIMIT BEFORE YOU EVEN REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED Fable 5 is exactly twice the cost of Opus 4.8 and because its so smart it actually overthinks running loops and burning tokens in ways no previous Claude model ever did one developer nearly burned through his entire monthly limit in the first 3 hours of testing on a wednesday morning without doing anything crazy at $0.57 per interaction versus $0.34 on Opus the difference adds up faster than you think and on july 7th it moves off standard subscriptions entirely so if you go over your limit you start paying per token with no hard cap by default some people are already reporting $40 to $80 in unexpected charges in a single day from leaving autonomous runs going overnight without a spending cap set but theres a system that cuts the cost by 50% or more and it comes straight from Anthropic engineers themselves its a three stage system use Fable only for planning at the start switch to Opus for all the actual execution in the middle and bring Fable back at the very end just to review the output you get all the intelligence without paying Fable prices for every single token on a standard autonomous run Fable can burn 3x more tokens than Opus doing the exact same task because it loops back checks itself reruns steps and optimizes things nobody asked it to optimize the people who dont figure this out before july 7th are going to get some very uncomfortable credit card bills full breakdown of the exact system drops next follow so you dont miss it

@0xCortexl cool, man

ANTHROPIC DEVELOPER LEAKED A DOCUMENT WORTH $1.7M TO THE COMPANY - AND GOT FIRED THE SAME DAY at the core is one simple while-loop calls the model, runs tools, repeats - and that one idea changes everything Permission → Context → Delegate → Persist → Repeat one loop, five layers, runs without a human 24/7 Permission: 7 access modes - the agent knows exactly how much power it was given and never steps outside it Context: a five-layer compaction pipeline - the model never loses what matters even across the longest sessions Delegation: the agent spawns its own subagents per task - nobody hands it a list Persistence: results written to disk in append mode - the loop never loses memory Extensibility: MCP, plugins, skills, hooks - any tool connects without rewriting the core 27% of tasks Claude Code completed were work people never even planned to do without it - not acceleration of the existing, but qualitatively new capability 50 pages of open research that changed how I think about agentic systems

@starmexxx stay tuned

@pilsnoir alpha

LEAKED INTERNAL ANTHROPIC FILE SHOWS HOW THEIR ENGINEERS WRITE 8X MORE CODE THAN EVERYONE ELSE Most developers type prompts by hand and wait. That's the exact point where all the leverage disappears Anthropic engineers merge 8x more code per day than in 2024 because they don't write prompts - they build systems that write prompts for them it only works if the task repeats and there's automated verification the minimum viable loop is one automation with one context file and one gate that cuts bad output without you in the room tost people get stuck on step 4 of 14, see why

@cruciaall future right there

@pilsnoir they don't prompt, they build prompt machines

@cruciaall congrats kid, seriously

A 14-YEAR-OLD BUILT THIS DURING AN ANTHROPIC KEYNOTE STREAM AND SOLD IT FOR $28,000 BEFORE IT ENDED in the other tab he had houdini open. 574 particles, 24 fps, body movement fed live through mediapipe and turned into something that looks like a galaxy reacting to your every move 0:09 - watch how the system locks onto every micro-movement instantly. no delay, no drift, 3 million particles reacting the moment his hand moves a web3 music label building their solana tour experience bought it on the spot. something generative, unrepeatable, different every time someone stepped in front of it first message to wire transfer took 11 days. he's now licensing the same base to 4 clients at $6,000 each, one backed by a16z this is the exact playbook ↓

THIS DEVELOPER CUT $12,000 IN PAYROLL WITH $20 A MONTH AND 3 CLAUDE AGENTS RUNNING IN PARALLEL He used to pay for a researcher, a writer, a strategist, a coach and an operator. Now it's one subscription The setup is one context file pasted once. Every agent starts already knowing him, then he runs 3 of them at the same time One agent synthesizes sources and kills 5 browser tabs with one answer. Another edits his drafts without a single compliment. The third finds holes in his ideas before the market does $20 a month. $12,000 in payroll gone Most people will save this and summarize an email

@GVausort that's true

@pilsnoir wild how the smartest model still loses to bad signage

HIS AI AGENT SPENT 2 MINUTES ON WHAT SHOULD TAKE 10 SECONDS AND THE REASON WAS UNEXPECTED he ran Hermes on Opus, GPT-5 and the best models on the market but all of them opened 7 files just to find one the problem wasn't the model, he built his folder structure for himself, not for the agent and it was walking in the dark every single time he added one INDEX.md file to each major folder that tells the agent where everything lives 2 minutes and 7 files became 10 seconds and 1 file the model didn't change, one text file changed everything

THE US GOVERNMENT BANNED FABLE 5 FOR 19 DAYS AND THE MOMENT IT CAME BACK ANTHROPIC SET A 6-DAY CLOCK BEFORE $100 BURNS IN 9 MINUTES anthropic dropped Fable 5 on June 9th. Three days later it was blocked globally with no warning before the ban, Stripe used it to migrate 50 million lines of code in one day instead of two months until July 7th it runs inside your current plan. After that it's $10 per million tokens in and $50 out The people building on it right now aren't waiting to find out if it gets banned again

THIS CHINESE KID MAKES $6,800 A MONTH AND HIS PARENTS STILL THINK HE'S DOING HOMEWORK he doesn't look for actors, rent a studio or pay an editor because Director Mode in CapCut does all of it for him, characters built once and they live forever every morning he wakes up, changes the plot and ships a new episode while his classmates are sitting in class brands pay him $500-800 per video and get it the next day, last month he closed 10 deals $6,800 a month, a $19.48 subscription and a bedroom where he definitely isn't doing homework while you're thinking you need experience for this, he already shipped the next episode

@shmidtqq math wins again. Kane by two

Heart says Messi. Nostalgia says Ronaldo. Math says neither. Ronaldo has 0 goals in his last 8 World Cup knockout games. Kane just passed Pele and sits one goal off the lead. Bookmark this: Kane takes the Golden Boot. Vote in the poll and tell me why I am wrong.

@GVausort genuinely useful, saved this one

@GVausort this guy is a sly

@pilsnoir old gaming pc under the desk quietly earning while he sleeps

THIS CANADIAN ENGINEER BOUGHT A GPU FOR $700, MADE $2,400 IN HIS FIRST MONTH AND STOPPED PAYING FOR AI COMPLETELY he had an old gaming PC under his desk that booted up for Spotify and shut down again, meanwhile his credit card was showing $412 a month in AI subscriptions 0:10 he holds up the RTX 3090 and drops it into that same PC, pointing it at local AI models that now run entirely on his own hardware automated jobs handle everything while he sleeps, his inbox gets sorted, notes archived and phone only buzzes when it matters then by the end of the first week his setup was generating more than he used to pay in subscriptions $2,400 in passive income the first month from a $700 card and his AI bill dropped from $412 to $20 while you're reading this, his GPU is already running

@cruciaall great, bro

@quroolarc absolutely true

@0x_fokki incredible story

@pilsnoir great breakdown, ty

THIS 19-YEAR-OLD MAKES SHORT FILMS IN CAPCUT AND ALREADY HAS A $6,800/MONTH CONTRACT for a month he kept thinking about the same thing and one day he opened Director Mode in CapCut and realized he found exactly what he was looking for he defines the characters once and only changes the plot, same faces, same world, new story every day brands pay him $250-500 per short and he delivers in a day while everyone else is still casting from scratch this month he made $6,800 with a CapCut Pro subscription that costs $15 a month example of his work below

@GVausort nice post, man

his clients pay $6,000 retainers thinking an 8 person studio is behind every commit. chen wei runs it solo from his kitchen in chengdu with claude code and one AGENTS.md file chen wei was 3 months behind on rent in january when he found the AGENTS.md pattern stripe used to migrate a 50 million line ruby codebase in a single day that weekend he built 5 skill files for frontend backend security database and deployment. by monday he shipped a car dealership crm in 2 days that his old freelance rate would have quoted at 2 weeks the dealership owner asked how big his team was and chen wei said just him. the owner made him pull up every commit diff and walk through the pull requests one by one until a $6,000 retainer landed in stripe that afternoon every project now runs through the same loop of research planning coding and review subagents. chen wei only touches the keyboard to approve the plan at the start and merge the pull request at the end three months later he runs 4 clients on retainer plus 2 saas products he shipped solo. monthly revenue lands at $44,500 against a $67 tool bill with nobody else on payroll follow now. read the article below tonight
