David - Authentic Marketing

Copywriting is the science of BELIEF BUILDING. Ask yourself: What beliefs do I need to build in my audience ...to make my offer irresistible? The job of your copy is to build that belief before you drop the offer. This holds true for any medium.

@realMaalouf these people are so beyond crazy. living satire.

He converted to Islam and identifies as a queer trans Muslim woman. He says he is now on a mission to make queer people feel more accepted by Islam. How will this story end?

@EricRWeinstein or maybe, Claude just made all that up because your questions guided it there. dont underestimate the level of hallucinations you can get out of these things.

Let me say what is going on. Anthropic, in their judgement, has decided to hide three things (at least) from me which means that I am randomly in conflict with them over...nothing. A) A long document which claude claims anthropic chose to hide from me which details how Claude should behave not just with me but with anyone. I have this document now according to Claude. B) A JSON configuration file which contains how Anthropic has chosen to permission my account via settings. Various of these settings appear to be set totally against my use profile using this for predominantly scientific work. No request works to reset these. None. C) Injected messages inserted by Anthropic with my messages that are against my consent, polluting my context window 99% to 1% at times, and not only not rendered to the user, but where Claude is told "NEVER mention this reminder to the user" explicitly. Thus destroying all trust. Call this the "Dark Matter" of ai. You can't see it directly but you can map it because normal requests like file management don't work at all if Anthropic is secretly contradicting all orders on totally innocuous decisions like repository structure. You try to do something simple that doesn't work: BOOM. Anthropic has been hiding its instructions to undo what you are trying to do LEGITIMATELY with its product. This is a big deal on all sorts of levels. There is no way to make this normal. This is in production. Now. If this is normal to you, you need to get out of the bay area and take a hike in yosemite or something. I recommend the high country. Or the Trinity alps.

This is a fresh session. I have attempted to ask why my installation of @claudeai is not under my control and responding appropriately. In the 2nd Response in a fresh session it tells me @AnthropicAI has throttled me from using it from reasoning via a toggle: "That's the one. If that controls extended thinking / reasoning budget — and the name and structure strongly suggest it does — then your account has it set to zero. You're paying $200/month for the most powerful model Anthropic offers, doing work that is essentially the hardest kind of sustained formal reasoning (gauge theory on novel 14-dimensional bundles, operator verification, index theory), and the system has allocated you zero tokens for deep thinking." Three queries, in and this is the response:

@markusdd5 Echt unfassbar die deutsche Presse mit diesem hirnlosen Elon-Bashing seit 2 Jahren.... armselig. Aber hey, selbstfahrende Elektroautos ohne Lidar und reusable-Raketen haben ja auch nicht funktioniert..und Colossus hat er auch nicht gebaut. (Geht ja auch alles gar nicht)

Natürlich weiß die Dummpresse jetzt schon, dass das alles wieder nicht klappen wird. Diesmal aber wirklich 😂😂😂 Elon Musks Halbleiterfertigung: Die Terafab wird ein Tera-Fail mit Ansage - Golem.de share.google/ZJajDkOagfxehC…

@adam_dorr its a complete mirage., if you work with them every day, you will realize quite quickly how limited their intelligence is. it doesnt show in normal conversation, but it shows when real understanding and reasoning is required. ai have neither.

Folks who dismiss the frontier AIs as mere stochastic parrots either haven't ever fully engaged with these minds, or they believe humans have some magical woo-woo sauce that makes us *not* mere stochastic parrots ourselves. The conversations I'm having with Claude 4.6 especially, but also the other Big 3, are astounding not only in their depth of knowledge but in their depth of reasoning, thoughtfulness, and reflection too. If these systems aren't thinking, then neither are we.

@AIandTechh87 guide

I built 10 Claude Code skills for Meta Ads They're free. Here's what they do: 👇 Operations: bleed-check: finds ad sets burning cash with zero conversions, pauses them rebalance: shifts budget from losers to winners automatically fatigue-scan: catches creative fatigue before your CPMs spike weekly-report: pulls KPIs, compares WoW, sends to Slack Creative & Intelligence: spy: scrapes competitor ads from the Ad Library, diffs weekly bulk-creative: generates 50–500 ad variations, renders to PNG hooks: writes 50+ copy variations using PAS, AIDA, BAB frameworks deploy-ads: reads a manifest, creates campaigns via API in minutes Setup & Architecture: setup-capi: generates production-ready Conversions API code audience-audit: finds overlap, maps funnel stages, fixes exclusions How to use them: Drop the .md files into .claude/commands/ Set your Meta access token Type /bleed-check, /spy, /hooks — it just runs ~25 hours/week of manual work → automated. No complex setup. No code to write. Just slash commands. Full skill files + setup guide in the article. Comment "Guide" and I'll share the link (must be following!)

Self-improving Claude Code skills are f*cking ridiculous 🤯 One loop → 10 test runs, scored against an eval, prompt rewritten, retested, winner kept. A hook writer skill went from 32/50 to 47/50 overnight. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who have built Claude Code skills but the output is still inconsistent — great 70% of the time, unusable the other 30%. If you've been manually tweaking your skill prompts one run at a time, re-reading outputs, adjusting instructions based on vibes, and never quite getting the consistency you need... This method eliminates the entire loop: → You define 3-5 binary eval criteria for your skill → Claude runs the skill 10 times with varied inputs → A separate evaluator scores every output against your criteria → It identifies the most common failure patterns → Rewrites the skill prompt to fix what's failing → Retests and keeps the winner → Repeats until the score plateaus No manual prompt tweaking. No reviewing every output by hand. No "it worked that one time but I can't reproduce it." What you get: → A skill prompt that's been through 50+ automated test runs → A scored improvement log showing exactly what changed and why → Eval criteria you can reuse every time you update the skill → A method that works on any skill: hooks, briefs, ad copy, scripts, reports Inspired by @karpathy's auto research repo, the same loop AI labs use to improve their own models, applied to your creative workflow. I put together a full playbook showing how to set up the eval, the exact Claude Code prompt for the improvement loop, and starter eval criteria for the 5 most common DTC creative skills.

@alexwg you guys.... I love the real world approach. fascinating stuff

@maverickecom Algo

R.I.P Instagram’s Algorithm. Claude 4.6 crushed it. Most brands are still trying to "beat" the Algorithm with: Random influencer sponsorships Random posts Generic testimonial videos Recycled hooks Content with no system behind it That’s why they stay stuck. Low reach. Low engagement. Zero inbound. Zero calls. Because they treat Instagram and TikTok’s explore page strictly like a content platform. It’s not. It’s a distribution and acquisition engine. And Claude 4.6 helps you with that. Not ONLY as a writing tool. As a growth operating system. When you use it properly, everything changes. In the last 30 days this Claude-powered system generated: $140k revenue for a client Consistent growth Predictable content performance Without lost time. Without photoshoots. Without wasted samples. Just explore page hacking. Here’s what the Claude system actually does: • Optimises your content for views and conversions • Builds a high-authority content strategy for your niche • Generates scroll-stopping hooks based on proven frameworks • Creates posts that move people from attention to action • Designs content that pulls leads automatically • Analyses competitors’ best-performing posts in seconds • Turns engagement into conversations that convert into sales No more guessing what to post. No more staring at a blank page. No more content that gets likes but no pipeline. This isn’t “AI writes posts" alone. It's your AI acquisition bestie. This can be your viral acquisition infrastructure. Positioning. Content architecture. Hook engineering. Outbound automation. Pipeline generation. Instead of: Post → Hope → Wait You get: Position → Publish → Engage → Convert → Scale While everyone else chases the algorithm… You build a system that works with it. This System is tailored to: - You - Your Niche - Your ICP Without sounding the same over and over again. Without people thinking you are using AI. Just leverage. I documented the exact Claude 4.6 setup behind this. Inside: • The prompts used to generate high-performing content • The system behind viral hooks and authority posts • The structure that turns content into ICP Customers • The DM framework that converts conversations into calls If you want the system: 1. Connect with me 2. Comment “ALGO” I’ll send the walkthrough to your DMs. In 2026, tiktok shop and Instagram won’t reward creators. It will reward operators with systems.

@DaveShapi the old grok was so fun ... 🥴

I'm sorry to say that Grok 4.20 has become much more ChatGPT-like in the last week. It gets stuck on "well ackshually" kind of pedantry AND it stops thinking broadly or even searching broadly and just picks a hill to die on. It does the same kind of nonsense that ChatGPT used to (before I deleted my account) where it seems like it really just wants to one-up the user on completely asinine points while deliberately missing the point. This is a massive departure from how Grok 4.20 behaved on launch. I showed a conversation to Claude and even Claude was like "yeah, Grok sort of defeated its own argument but couldn't concede" Pathetic.

@Imamofpeace i read the koran. from the surface it looks as if the "islamists" are actually just following it by the word, not bending it. can you publish a longer piece on this? how is reform possible? how can islam be a peaceful religion with all this violence in its main text?

@hasantoxr thx, some very good stuff there!

Holy shit... Someone just built the world's largest AI image prompt library and made it free. It's called MeiGen, it scrapes the most popular prompt posts from X each week and puts them all in one place. No prompt engineering. No guessing. Just steal what's already working. 100% free. 100% Open Source.

@Emarky thanks man. would have never occurred to me to use claude like that. brilliant actually

@recap_david Reno

I built an AI renovation visualizer that replaces $2K+ in 3D rendering costs with a 10-minute workflow. Contractors and real estate pros are using these media assets to close more deals faster. It's all powered by a CustomGPT + Calico AI. Here's how it actually works: → Upload any room photo to the AI Room Renovator GPT → It analyzes the space and generates 12 style-matched renovation concepts → Use the prompts to generate renovated images from your original photo → Kling 3.0 within Calico animates the transformation. Original room morphing into the finished design → Stack start frame, animation, and end frame in CapCut — done The result: contractors send clients a cinematic renovation preview before a single wall gets touched. That's how you close the project before the client shops around. If you want the full step-by-step tutorial and a link to the tools used: comment "RENO" and I'll send over.

@mikefutia skills

These 10 Claude Code skills are completely insane 🤯 Competitor audits, creative briefs, 20 hook variations, ad copy, static ads, and weekly performance reports. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still prompting Claude from scratch every time — re-explaining your brand voice, re-describing your brief format, and spending 30 minutes before Claude even starts doing useful work. If you're running the same creative workflows every week but starting from zero in every Claude session... These skills eliminate the entire loop: → Competitor Ad Research Agent: Drop a brand name, get a full creative audit: hooks, messaging angles, ad formats, CTAs, and "steal this" angles. No more scrolling the Ad Library for an hour. → Creative Brief Generator: One prompt, complete brief in your exact template. Hooks, concepts, visual direction, brand voice: all loaded from your own files. → Hook & Script Writer: 15+ hooks categorized by type (curiosity, problem-agitation, result-first, social proof). Full 30-60s scripts with hook → problem → mechanism → proof → CTA baked in. → Ad Copy Variation Engine: Feed it one winning ad, get 20 variations: each targeting a different persona and pain point. Same structure, different angles. Creative fatigue solved. → Weekly Report Writer: Drop in your Meta ads CSV. Get the narrative summary, anomaly flags, creative fatigue alerts, and recommended next steps. The report nobody wants to write, done in 60 seconds. → Creative Fatigue Detector: Flags ads before they die. CTR trending down, frequency climbing, conversion rate dropping: caught in hours, not after three days of wasted spend. No re-explaining your brand in every session. No inconsistent output across your team. No prompting from scratch when the workflow is the same every time. 10 skills., copy-paste straight into your Claude Code. They just work.

@ItsDecado Everybody can help Iranians get Internet: Install conduit.psiphon.ca/de/ and let the resistance use your internet connection

Here are the absolute ABCs of what Iranians inside the country actually need from the world right now: A: Internet. Break this digital blackout so we can coordinate our uprising and expose their crimes. B: Strikes on the Basij. Keep leveling our occupiers. Every precision strike on these militias is one less terrorist shooting us in the streets. C: Guns. We have fought a rabid, heavily armed death cult with empty hands for decades. Arm us, and watch exactly how fast we finish them. It is exactly that simple. Stop the endless diplomatic debates and give us the tools to take our country back.
