@PaulYacoubian Yeah it’s great. Use the front end design skill if using Claude code. Works really well for decks. Then remotion skill to make a video of it. Eleven labs for a sweet soundtrack/talk track

@AnishA_Moonka Last time we heard this was Mad Max 👀🙄 My wife, who ran one of the many VFX teams involved, was prohibited to talk about it. VFX people are insanely talented artists who are an integral part of movie making. Can we drop with the nostalgia porn bullshit already?

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real. The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later. Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him. Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman. Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact. 95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

You can now schedule recurring cloud-based tasks on Claude Code. Set a repo (or repos), a schedule, and a prompt. Claude runs it via cloud infra on your schedule, so you don’t need to keep Claude Code running on your local machine.

Mate I’m the same - 98% of activity is Claude code via terminal. But we aren’t the core market for Cowork. Cowork is a way to claudepill the normies. I spend a lot of time doing exactly that - helping companies use AI. And the friction of Cowork versus Claude Code is waaaaaaaay less.

@superzac @clairevo I'm an extremely heavy claude code user and I don't bother with any of those features because they're totally ancillary to how I actually use it

I've started using Claude. It's great but I can see how someone can spend 20 hours a day on this thing and feel like they accomplished something when they've done nothing.

i'm helping 10+ companies with growth, they’re all doing $5m to $150m arr they’ve all raised huge rounds with top-tier vcs (sequoia, a16z, …) and are growing 50–100% MoM and something drives me crazy: their investors have no clue how growth actually works i think vc firms should have real growth operators on their team to help their portfolio with actual tactics & strategies >office hours >share screen >get into the tools >review numbers >get hands dirty all of this on a weekly basis often vcs hire ex-vps to “help” the portfolio problem is, most vps have never really been in the trenches they joined companies that already did the 0 → 1 sometimes years ago and their real job was management, reporting & internal politics they never really did the dirty work >reaching out to influencers >dealing with dozens of ugc farm gen z creators >negotiating prices >coordinating launches >launching the first meta campaigns >uploading creatives >running claude code seo agents >setting up clay outbound campaigns >warming up domains for cold email with lemwarm all that dirty shit you actually have to do to grow a company and those things change every 6 months: tools, tactics, best practices…

@nbaschez My major issue with this is judging startup success by follow on funding rounds. This only looks at: 1. VC backed companies 2. ZIRP era tactics

Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up. Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle. Explain yourselves. How do you do that?

@MetamateDaz Hope you made your nut. I felt this after a failed startup. Worst possible outcome. Shattered, broke, frightened. 4 year recovery. So far.

If you have a large and super active Slack for your business I highly recommend setting up a morning briefing scheduled task with Claude. Every morning Claude scans our entire Slack workspace and puts together a concise summary/briefing of the most important things for me to see that is then sent to me at 7am. We now have multiple team members doing it and also integrating their gmail and other relevant apps. It is a great way to start the morning and help with your daily planning.

We've used a third party to manage "Digital Jason" for a year. It was our first AI Agent, and it's done a great job. But today I decided to try building my own, just to compare. It's already better in less than one hour of work. And much more customizable.
