Je vois passer beaucoup de choses sur la certif Anthropic et comme je suis dans le process pour être accepté j'ai 2-3 infos importantes à partager en thread ça vous va ?
Akina@0xAkina
Il y a du monde ici qui compte tenter la certification Anthropic ? Je pense me focus dessus dans les prochaines semaines !

I wrote an article on this topic
4 ways to get compete for startups (TLDR):
1) Government-mandated products(if you have connections, your products are picked in)
2) Once humans let AI decide what products to pick, it'll be possible to reverse engineer it and hijack those picks.
3) Human identity purchases (this is what you, Marc and other "branded" makers do. Some users buy from you because it makes them feel good, cuz they admire you.
4) Paid placements inside AI (it'll be possible to pay to big llms and be recommended or picked by LLMs in relevant scenarios (the game of a capital, cuz these ads gonna be expensive)

@mnowakdesign Really solid interface and motion design here. Very well done 👏

Why just tell them when you can show them? 🚀
Take a look at some of the recent projects I've brought to life!

@nicbstme Thanks for this, it perfectly encapsulates and expands on the sentiments I express here : x.com/sctgraham/stat…
It's a fundamental shift in how we should now think of SaaS.
Scott Graham@sctgraham
People fundamentally misunderstand why “SaaS is dead”. Countless SaaS’es won’t die because people will vibe-code their own replacements. That won’t happen, it’s a silly take. Countless SaaS’es will die out because their moat is nothing other than a nice UI that displays a simple dataset. Jira / Linear / Monday / Asana ? Tableau / Looker / Power BI ? Salesforce / HubSpot / Pipedrive ? These SaaS companies are each competing with each other over a roughly identical data model with slightly different UIs and workflows. HOWEVER, LLMs are dissolving the UIs and workflows into a universal interaction model : the conversation is now the UI / WF. The value propositions of these SaaS’es will plummet once users start seeing them as mere data providers to be plugged into their agents / LLMs. A nicer UI ? Increasingly worthless. A cool brand ? Increasingly invisible. A more capable set of workflows ? Increasingly less impressive compared to a smart AI agent. Many SaaS’es will compete to their deaths over tighter and tighter integrations with major AI companies until they are reduced to being neat little MCP servers easily swappable and replaceable.

@beastydesign Je suis curieux et j’ai envie d’essayer mais c’est vrai que c’est l’impression que me donnent aussi la plupart des posts sur ce sujet. Après @karpathy semble être intéressé par le concept et ça c’est pas rien.

Tellement ça ! Ça parle et ou voit jamais rien

- MEC !!! tu DOIS essayer OpenClaw - Ah ouais c’est bien ? - Juste incroyable - Tu l’utilises pour quoi ? - Franchement tout - Comme quoi ? - Juste essaye tu verras - Ça te fait gagner du temps ? - Tu rates quelque chose mec, tu prends du retard là

@stevelauda_ @grok That turned out better than I hoped 🤣 Future of design right there !
English
@stevelauda_ @grok add 6 more levels but make them exponentially more intense each time.
English
Has anything more lightweight and more secure than @openclaw been released ? Looking for some alternatives before going all in on one solution.
English
@jackfriks Beelinks are lovely little machines. Great cost / perf. ratio. Been running Home Assistant on one for a while and it’s holding up great. They def. seem well suited for running Claws.
English
you don’t neeed a mac mini for openclaw!
buy a beelink for sub $200 and be free. glhf :)
sincerely,
a guy who cancelled his mac mini order when he realized he had an extra beelink
(mac mini still awesome though)

@ashecomm Mauvaise analyse, la mort des SaaS sera bien une conséquence de la démocratisation des IA mais ce sera pour une toute autre raison que celle énoncée par l'OP.

Ne te lance pas dans les SaaS.
Ce modèle est voué à disparaitre.
Il suffit d'expliquer à Claude le problème que t'as, il te rédige un prompt parfait et Claude Code le développe en one-shot.
On se dirige vers un monde où l'IA agentic va résoudre tous nos problèmes d'ordre numériques.

@RockyRoark @xcyynical Thanks for your answer. So basically too much effort required for too little returns.

@sctgraham @xcyynical You have to live, eat, and sleep in it to find projects and even then it’s mostly early adopters who win.

“SaaS is dead” Because grandma is going to vibe code her plant watering app And then grandma is going to continue: > shipping features > fixing bugs > ensuring uptime > updating dependencies Instead of paying $30/month Yeah, SaaS is dead

@riomadeit Well tbh they nailed the brand. The serif was just one piece.
English
it's so funny how a serif font was enough to convince everyone that anthropic were "the cool guys"
flavio@flaviocopes
Anthropic giving bad vibes lately, I thought they were the cool guys?

@RockyRoark @xcyynical What do you find frustrating about it ? I’ve been considering investing more effort into Contra but aren’t yet convinced it’s worth my time.
English
@xcyynical Unfortunately there is no “new” Behance or Dribbble for that matter.
Contra doesn’t work the way people say and more creatives are frustrated by it.
English
@tfol_sedso That's a great background and skill set to offer your clients. Congrats on finding your thing ! Hope it works out well for you both. All the best !
English
Both my business partner and I had a background in the restaurant and hospitality industry.
He was always working as a chef in the back of the house while I typically worked front of house jobs like serving, bartending, and what not.
We both went to school for design and our first freelance clients just happened to be the connections we had from the people we used to work with.
Everything just kind of went in that direction organically from there.
Started with brand and print and transitioned to include all aspects of design, including digital and environmental.
Soup to nuts.
English
Lately, I've felt like I have little to say or post, but I know it's in me.
What's on your mind these past few weeks?
AMA!
I need some help getting the content wheels turning again.

This is a new frontier, selling assets to agents 👀
ben@contraben
Introducing Contra Payments. The first payments platform that lets you sell to AI Agents. RT + Comment “Contra” and I’ll send you 100 products AI agents are looking for.
English
@tfol_sedso Thanks for your reply. You seem to have established yourself in a well defined segment that you have learned to serve well. Did you purposefully target hospitality or did that happen more organically through happenstance ?
English
I like to focus on design and creative strategy with regards to the specific clients that we service, and not just something that AI can spit out as a deliverable.
Working in the restaurant and hospitality industry, we string together various solutions from brand and menu design to websites, signage, and a variety of other things that specifically service these types of clients.
AI weaves its way in, but we don’t focus on AI as a selling point, it’s just a feature used here and there with us in the background (barely).
We focus on full service design ( however it’s made ) for restaurants.
