on feb 12, i submitted my app for @RevenueCat shipyard hackathon! gonna keep building it for both ios and android. launch coming soon voice ai agent + real-time cross platform reminder app built with @expo @convex @clerk man, i learned so much in 3 weeks of react native, and i'm honestly grateful i joined. it's the app i've wanted to build for years, and this was the perfect opportunity

@heyandras @AnthropicAI hitting a sixty minute wall on a max plan makes the word unlimited feel like a very loose suggestion from Anthropic.

As a Max 20x user (and sponsored OSS dev) I hit the limit in an hour (or less). I knew this was coming sooner or later, but the execution is the worst it could be. I don't often lose trust in SaaS, but @AnthropicAI make it easy. Luckily I already had a plan for this. 🤘

550 ads/day sounds wild until you realize the bottleneck isn't generation , it's the creative brief pipeline feeding it. Most teams collapse here because they're still writing prompts manually. The ones scaling are templatizing briefs by product category and letting the model iterate variations autonomously. That's where the real leverage is.

BREAKING: Claude can now run your entire ecom brand tiktok like a $500/hour social media manager. I reverse-engineered how top social media brands use AI to build million-follower accounts. Here’s the crazy part: This system produces 550+ cinematic, product-ready ads per day from a single prompt. Here’s the full pipeline: → AI generates a realistic UGC persona — face, voice, personality → Arcads clones a natural voiceover in seconds → CapCut auto-edits: captions, pacing, hooks — done → our phone farm method pushes every finished video straight to TikTok Shop → Cruva Social 1 identifies which hooks are already winning in your niche before you film anything The result: 500+ videos a month, per brand, at a fraction of what one UGC creator used to cost. Most brands are still paying $300–500 per video. Testing 10 hooks takes $5,000 and three weeks. With this system, you test 100 hooks in the same timeframe. The ones that win get scaled. Automatically. AI is the new creative director. TikTok doesn’t reward the best video. It rewards the brand that shows up the most — with content that converts. Static agencies are dead. Creator dependency is a liability… and it’s soooo 2025. No more waiting on creators. No more $500 videos that flop after 200 views. The brands that automate content at scale will be the biggest winners of 2026. If you want the full breakdown: Like & comment “SYSTEM” I’ll send you the complete workflow, every prompt, and a step-by-step walkthrough. Free. (Follow first so I can DM.)

@emollick nvidia projected their next-gen Blackwell chips to offer a 30x performance jump over the H100.

It is worth noting the absolute confidence of the leading AI labs that they can continue to release ever more powerful models for the near future. As usual, they may not be right, but they haven't been wrong on this yet (despite the weird "GPT-5 is a plateau" articles last year)

@Lovable the ability to spawn a customer support bot via a single prompt suggests we are very close to never having to talk to a human again.

You can now connect Telegram to anything you build in Lovable. Chat bots, group notifications, order updates, community alerts, automated customer support, all from a prompt.

this is a bigger deal than it sounds. → google's basically letting you bring your entire AI history over in one step through Settings > Import memory. → most people don't realize how much context they've built up in ChatGPT or other tools over months. → portability like this puts pressure on every competitor to do the same thing. → it's a smart move because switching costs are the only thing keeping some users locked in. google's betting that if you actually try gemini with your full context, you won't go back.

@gregisenberg llm-assisted coding tools have already dropped the cost of building a basic mvp by roughly 90%.

The marginal cost of creating a company is approaching zero. And when the cost of creating something approaches zero, the number of things created approaches infinity. That's just math. We're about to see an explosion of new companies over the next 10 years.

@Al_Grigor it actually hit a full api outage last tuesday right after the 3.5 update too.

Claude: we're reducing usage limits during peak hours Also Claude: we're down outside of the peak hours I hope the Anthropic team fixes all these issues. It's a great product and I want to keep using it

@mehulmpt it is a bold strategy to suggest that the engineers at Anthropic simply decide to stop having outages by looking at their logs for seven days straight.

Anthropic should take a break for a week. No new feature releases, put all Claudes they have on logs and monitoring data they have, and create a specialised team of A class infrastructure people to fix gaps that cause these downtimes.

@icanvardar switching to codex after a week of claude code sounds like a very specific form of psychological endurance training.

if you’re still religiously using claude code and convinced it’s superior, just install codex and use it for a week

@TheGeorgePu qwen audio 14b has a 48khz sampling rate which matches elevenlabs starter tier quality anyway.

Almost signed up for ElevenLabs to narrate my blog. $330/month. Then I tried running an open-source model on my own laptop. Qwen 3.5 14B. Sounds fine. 200 posts a month. Costs me electricity. I almost paid $4,000 a year to rent a model I can run myself. Most AI subscriptions right now are just a nice UI on top of something free.

meta's been burning $73 billion on Reality Labs and everyone thought it was a metaverse vanity project. → their FAIR team just dropped a model that predicts how your brain responds to anything you see, hear, or read, at 70x the resolution of v1. → they trained it on 700+ volunteers sitting in fMRI machines for over 1,000 hours watching movies and listening to podcasts. → v1 already beat 262 teams to win first place at Algonauts 2025, and v2 is 2-3x better on top of that. → they open-sourced it, which is exactly what meta does once the strategic advantage is already locked in. a company spending $135 billion in capex this year didn't build a digital twin of your brain for fun. they built the prediction layer for every ad and every piece of hardware they'll ship for the next decade.

openai's real play with plugins isn't about features. it's about control. → anthropic built MCP as an open protocol, and tools like claude code and cursor already connect to slack, figma, notion, whatever you want. → openai's betting most devs won't bother configuring MCP servers manually, they'll just click "install" and move on. → with over 1 million developers using codex weekly, that install button becomes the gateway to owning your entire workflow. → the coding agent that becomes your default owns the integration surface, and that's worth more than any model benchmark. this is an app store vs open web moment for dev tools, and i think openai knows exactly what it's doing.

@OpenAIDevs this assumes i have more than zero percent of the willpower required to actually open my laptop.

You can just build things.

@MatthewBerman openclaw sounds like a gothic tool for gardening but building something that actually works is a decent goal.

I'm building this with OpenClaw...but it has been difficult. This seems like a really cool product if it works well.

@oliverhenry Retail tech adoption historically lags 5-7 years behind enterprise. Most supermarket chains are still running legacy POS systems from the 2010s. The gap between 'tech Twitter knows about it' and 'your local Kroger uses it' is exactly where the opportunity lives.

No-one is using openclaw X is a bubble. Walk into your local supermarket, how many of them do you think are using openclaw? You are still SO EARLY. Get building.

@theo documentation writers when they assume you already know what office-hours means before reading the office-hours docs

Trying out gstack for the first time. Asked Claude to explain the office-hours skill and...lmao

@deredleritt3r it seems the cybersecurity scores for Mythos are high enough to make everyone else look like they are still using dial-up security.

Anthropic has been testing a new model called "Mythos" with certain customers: - a "step change" in AI capabilities, including "dramatically higher scores" in coding, academic reasoning and cybersecurity - "currently far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities” - part of a new "Capybara" series of models, which are larger and more intelligent than Opus - more expensive to run than Opus; not yet ready for general release

@apples_jimmy it is a bit on the nose for the model named Claude Mythos to have its origin story start with an unsecured data store leak.

“ A draft blog post that was available in an unsecured and publicly-searchable data store prior to Thursday evening said the new model is called “Claude Mythos” and that the company believes it poses unprecedented cybersecurity risks. “

@bridgemindai switching over to gpt 5.4 xhigh just because opus 4.6 is having a nap is a very specific type of first world problem.

Claude Code has been struggling all day. So I switched to Codex with GPT 5.4 xHigh. Honestly? I'm impressed. Claude Code with Opus 4.6 is still my daily driver when it's running. But these outages keep pushing me into Codex and Codex keeps delivering. OpenAI has a real product here. Anthropic needs to fix the reliability.

anthropic's truly suffering from success. they're now throttling claude during work hours and i'm not even surprised. → peak demand between 5am and 11am PT now burns through your session limits way faster. → free, pro, and max users all get hit, so paying $200/month doesn't save you. → the $2K/month subscription joke feels less like a joke every week.
