@rom1trs Edit

I built a Claude skill that clones any viral edit ... using Arcads MCP > paste a raw clip + a reference video > it copies the backgrounds, zooms, cuts > 8 scene changes in 9 seconds. Comment "EDIT" and I'll send you the skill

@hthieblot So it does take 1 month to build an app

AI takes 1 hour to build the mobile app Apple takes 3 weeks to review it

@rom1trs Motion

I built a Claude skill that makes motion-style animation. > Paste a reference image > It generates frames with Nano Banana 2 > and animates the video with Seedance 2.0 Everything runs in Claude through the Arcads MCP Comment "Motion", and I'll send you the skill

@liamobuilds 🎉🎉

I’m excited to share that I got invited to give a talk on mech interp and why it matters for reducing biases, privacy risks, and misalignment, and some interesting results (from my research and the industry) we’ve found thus far! More info coming soon!

@katedeyneka wow! never seen events happen there before

@seanchiuai Treasure island!

my friends are organizing the AI Rabbit Hole🐇✨ it's a conference and a celebration - the best kind of rabbit hole to fall into! expect speakers from Future Ventures, Nebius, Higgsfield, Databricks, Wabi, and many more I went last year and loved the vibe, the people, and the taste level let me know in the comments if you want my 20% off code! no hallucinations, just Wonderland🪄

@hthieblot talk to customers every day. no shortcuts

You can give a first-time founder just one piece of advice. What is it?

@gauravsbuilding ai influencers are wildd. how does the authenticity hold up though?

Today, we kill influencer marketing. Just enter your website and create your brand’s own hyper-realistic AI influencer. Fastlane then creates thousands of videos of your influencer promoting your product, all cloned from viral content. Deploy your own AI UGC army in seconds:

Three tracks- GTM intelligence benchmarks, Content Engines, and Adaptive Sales Shoutout to @JuliusYRitter for making this happen! We don’t want people who just prompt Codex. We want ambitious and talented people who can build the kind of companies that have come out of AGI house. @perplexity_ai, @replicate, and @LangChain. Come out and build the next unicorn with us at AGI house 🤙🏿

@hthieblot No

pitch me your company in 1 word.

@Pokee_AI 🔥

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Pokee AI Hackathon and made it such a special day! We had an incredible room of builders, thoughtful demos, sharp ideas, and a lot of creativity packed into a very short amount of time. Really grateful to everyone who showed up, built with us, judged, and supported us. You all made the event a true success! Judges for the event included: Maria Zhang — CEO, Palona AI; former CTO, Tinder; former VP, Google/Meta Bo Li — CEO, Virtue AI; UIUC Professor Jean-Marc Daecius — Chief of Staff, O'Shaughnessy Ventures (@JMBDaecius @osvllc) Zhen Li — Founding Engineer, Replit (@zhenthebuilder) Robert Scoble — Tech Evangelist (@Scobleizer) Bill Zhu — Founder, Pokee AI (@ZheqingZhu) And now, excited to share our winners: 🥇 1st Place: DataClaw — Steve Kuo (@stevethedust) 🥈 2nd Place: Meme Marketing — Nelson Lai 🥉 3rd Place: Gacha — Inseon Hwang, Steven Yang, Ransith, David Song (@HwangInseo22523, @syang0624 , @_mrdavidsong) 🥉3rd Place: Best Sandwhich — Suvodeep Sinha, Mike Chaves, Dane Best (@suvoo_o, @mikechaves) 🥉3rd Place: Quantfecta — Harry Kabodha (@var0sync) 🥉 3rd Place: Team Pokee-Match Massive congratulations to all of the winners, and to every team who built something ambitious! What really stood out all day was just how much is already possible with Pokee. With Pokee, you can go from a simple prompt to a real working agent or workflow that can research, reason, take action, and execute across tools. You can build powerful multi-step automations, connect across hundreds of integrations, deploy workflows as API endpoints, and create agents that handle real work instead of just generating text. (We even natively integrate with the X API!) From deep research to execution, internal tools to go-to-market workflows, content pipelines to operational automations — the range of what people built was a great reminder that this category is moving fast and the only limit is your imagination. If you want to try it yourself, you can start building with Pokee today at pokee.ai. Thanks again to everyone who joined us!

@lexdoudkin @DarioAmodei flawless, don't need devs anymore 😂
