@zanehkoch Love the analysis — Proof used to be “I swear to god” then it became “google it”… now it’s “here’s my GitHub”

for a while i've had a slight fear that the bluetooth from my airpods could be frying my brain this weekend i pulled the raw data from a $30m government study of 1,679 mice blasted with cell phone radiation and reanalyzed it what i found was...not what I expected? 🧵

Mark Cubans advice on selling AI agents to SMBs is the MOST underrated clip on the internet right now. here’s the full play he didn’t break down (bookmark this): pick one vertical. learn the flows. become the AI team they never hired and wish they had. you really don’t need a CS degree or VC money. you need claude, a cold email sequence, and the willingness to learn one industry better than anyone. bonus, find an industry leader who knows nothing about AI but knows everything about their business. partner with them. bring AI into their operations. you increase EBITDA. you increase multiples. you own a piece of the upside. this is the business model of the decade.

When GPT-5 was released, some folks claimed AI progress was hitting a wall, whereas others said progress would continue. GPT-5.2 was released 2 months ago. GPT-5.3-Codex was released 2 days ago and is twice as token efficient for coding. It's clear who turned out to be correct.

This is why the finish at the LA marathon was so close👇🏼 Michael Kamau of Kenya was not only impeded by a female holding a Kenya flag, but the motorcade led him the wrong way, causing American Nathan Martin to eventually catch up & win by .01 seconds

There's an opportunity right now to build a $100k per month side hustle as an AI Concierge. And you don't even have to be *that* technical to do it. Just high agency. There are probably millions of people out there who see all of the latest AI innovations like Claude Cowork, want to take advantage of them, but have no idea how to actually do that. I know, because I'm one of those people... I had dinner last night with the CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech startup. He was telling me about the full digital assistant/employee he just hacked together over the weekend. All of the things it's doing, how it's been an unlock for his workflows and life. I told him I'd gladly pay him $5000 to come to my house and spend the day building me one using the same approach. He laughed that he'd happily do that (though obviously won't given his day job). There's a real, high cash flow opportunity for a hustler to launch a services business as an AI Concierge for the tech curious. Ideally they would physically show up and build out a tool (or suite) to help an individual leverage the latest for their business and life. I bet you could charge $5-10k for the initial upfront work and then some low ongoing service fee to keep the thing up to date (if the person wants that and needs help with it). 5-10 clients per month and you have a meaningful cash flow engine. All comes down to the quality of what you deliver long term, but my guess is people would see a Month 1 positive ROI on the investment and referrals to their friends would drive the entire business. Just a thought...

My AI agent almost gave me a heart attack yesterday. 💀 It autonomously drafted 21 emails to high-profile investors without asking for final permission. The emails were surprisingly good. The risk was not. I realized that to run in "Founder Mode" with AI, you can't just give them permission; you have to give them a conscience. The Solution: @TaskletAI Architect 1. I built a custom Skill for Claude Code that acts as a "Safety Compiler" for autonomous agents. 2. I give a natural language goal: "Build an agent to find leads and contact them." 3. The Architect scans the intent for risks: Spending Money or External Comms. 4. It automatically injects a "Safety Constitution" into the agent's system instructions. It hard-codes "Permission Gates" for any high-stakes action. Now, if my agent tries to spend $1 or email a stranger, it is code-locked into a "Draft & Wait" protocol. I’m open-sourcing the Constitution and the Architect Skill today. If you are building autonomous agents, steal this. gist.github.com/seabass011/e9b… (S/o @startupandrew and @jonnydimond for building extremely good AI agents)

System Prompt Leaks is a collection of ~100 system prompts from the most used chatbots like Opus, Perplexity, Gemini, GPT, etc... Reading through these taught me a lot about how to create powerful prompts + how these tools actually function. github.com/asgeirtj/syste…

I've caught several of my employees running all of their communication through AI. We're on the verge of banning it in all of my companies. It isn't secure. It is a waste of time. And it is visible to clients, partners and team members from a mile away. Stop doing this!

My Dutch buddy hated the bland stroopwafels in the US, so he started baking authentic ones just like back home and they’re INSANELY good! Pop-up at Alana’s Coffee on Venice Blvd this weekend! #MadeByTheNetherlands

I sold my "forever home" in LA. I bought it in 2020 planning to keep it for decades. Instead, I left it completely empty for 5 years. I turned down ~$600,000 in potential rent. Here is the math on why it’s now safer to earn $0 than to be a landlord in LA. 🧵
