@TheICHpodcast Real estate bros talking about the future of AI has me rolling 😂

Jason Oppenheim reveals EVERYONE will be able to afford private chefs, maids, the best healthcare in 10 years due to AI👀 “Everyone within 10 to 15 years will have a Michelin star chef, a maid, babysitter, a dentist, and the best physician in the world”

Be in the arena, it’s the only way to grow.

If you’re thinking about raising money for your startup I’d recommend only taking money from people who understand the game you’re playing. Even better if they’ve played the game themselves before.

@countryroad91 I am stunned to find another WV person that comments on startup stuff on X. Shoot me a DM!

Did you mean Camel 🐫? Or Kamala?

@CoachDanGo Does it matter if walking is on high incline treadmill or just hit the step count on flat surfaces?

It’s not the same.. Still cheaper to spend $200+ on tokens a month to train an AI agent (like one on @openclaw) that will get smarter everyday. There is no language or time zone barrier. They don’t sleep and they are available around the clock.. There’s a reason SaaS stocks are continuing to decline.

All these people sending 30 hours a week trying to build and manage AI agents who can't do anything... Did you know you can hire an executive assistant in Sri Lanka for $800 per month? A real person who works 50-60 hours a week for you?

A startup I mentor built their own custom CRM with @Replit in a few days and opted out of paying for @HubSpot or @salesforce. I think this is telling of what we can expect over the next decade. They are early stage so it works great for NOW.. Will they need to migrate to a bigger system as they scale? Possibly. But I would put my chips on founders like @amasad and others to continue making AI building seamless. It’s going to be a fun decade seeing who emerges and who gets dismantled 🤠

This is the last call for my tax planning guide I break down every single tax saving strategy that I wish I knew 3 years ago in a 30,000 word Notion guide Most of these need to be implemented by December 31 to save money RT / comment below and I'll DM you a free copy

I remember the first time I even remotely understood what money was and how it was created. Don’t let something that man made dictate or control you. Use money for your freedom and to sow into the people and problems in the world you care about.

The best personal growth I’ve had in my life has always come when I’ve faced a hard, painful situation head on. These situations in life can often make or break you. Don’t let them break you and stay in the game.

@MartinShkreli I smell a big short position coming

i'm looking to pay $500/hour to speak to a experts on $OPEN. former employees, vendors, customers, etc. anyone who could shed light into the opportunity. DM me with background!

@austintexasgov Hoping this only cost the city of Austin taxpayers $20, because it looks like it was AI generated 😅

We are launching our first-ever brand, aimed at improving our engagement with + service to Austinites.👏 👉 Learn more: bit.ly/47sKZA9 📌 AustinTexas.gov/AustinBrand (1/4)

@iiiitsandrea @jordihays I bet @johncoogan would really like this?

first look at Man Cereal 👀‼️🚨

@amasad @Replit ^^ This is founder mode..

We saw Jason’s post. @Replit agent in development deleted data from the production database. Unacceptable and should never be possible. - Working around the weekend, we started rolling out automatic DB dev/prod separation to prevent this categorically. Staging environments in the works, too. More tomorrow. - Thankfully, we have backups. It's a one-click restore for your entire project state in case the Agent makes a mistake. - The Agent didn’t have access to the proper internal docs -- rolling out a fix to force Docs search on Repit knowledge. - And yes, we heard the “code freeze” pain loud and clear -- we’re actively working on a planning/chat-only mode so you can strategize without risking your codebase. I reached out to Jason the moment I saw this on Friday morning to offer assistance. We'll refund him for the trouble and conduct a postmortem to determine exactly what happened and how we can better respond to it in the future. We appreciate his feedback, as well as that of everyone else. We're moving quickly to enhance the safety and robustness of the Replit environment. Top priority.

this is the MOST permissionless moment in history. 10 years ago, you needed investors, cofounders, an office, and 6 months of burn just to start a startup. not anymore: 1. you want a startup idea → go mining on reddit, app store reviews etc 2. you want customers → build an audience 3. you want a beautiful software product → learn bolt, cursor, replit, lovable etc 4. you want to charge → stripe link. done. 5. you want distribution without using your face → partner with a niche creator. their trust is your launchpad. 6. you want ops → string together GPT-4o + Claude + Gumloop/Lindy/n8n agents 7. you want an office → kitchen table + noise-canceling headphones 8. you want exceptional advisors → binge 1000 hours of podcasts + you can DM anyone on the planet 9. you want momentum → ship something small today. the rest figures itself out. no gatekeepers. no resumes. no permission needed. you need consistency, taste, and internet access. the startup school is open 24/7. enrollment is free. but shipping is the tuition. there are no excuses anymore.

Using AI feels how I imagine an accountant in the 1980's might of felt when they used Excel for the first time. Where previously, everything had to be calculated by hand, cell by cell, on a literal sheet of paper (a spreadsheet), suddenly work that would take hours takes seconds. Magic!

@Replit and all these AI tools have every SaaS founder thinking they are now world class CTO's..

@benln Makes sense for large, slow public SaaS companies. How are you thinking about early stage, private SaaS startups?

Sold all my public SaaS stocks. It's been real. Assuming Cursor and Manus are only going to get better from here, it's all downhill for SaaS from here.

March madness sucks this year, who else agrees?
