@elonmusk someone has to employ Californians with businesses and top earners fleeing the sate. They still have the second highest (Nevada) unemployment rate in the country.

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this.....

But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software.

I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal

He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it.

He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code.

Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time.

His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages.

His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything.

My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five."

Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder.

I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

1. You are full of shit
2. Pipe dreamer thinking your being full of shit could possibly flip Texas
3. You were moved for contract reasons.
4. You are full of shit, a barnyard typical, narcissistic, liberal douchebag grifter hell bent on building yourself a presence on the backs of the poor dumbasses that believe your lying arse.

@NerdeenKiswani 100% bullshit. We know exactly what you meant. Fuck off.

People replying with dog pics like it’s supposed to upset me. Meanwhile those pics are fitting my spirits bc I think they’re adorable. All I was saying is they deserve better than a life confined to a tiny apartment w/ scheduled bathroom breaks on sidewalks.

If anything, sounds like I care more about their quality of life than the people using them as a gotcha.

Dumb as a box of rocks.

Venezuela is above the equator.

@r0ck3t23 Elon Musk on AI & Truth:

“At a certain point, the AI will be smarter than all humans combined.

I think the most important thing at that point is that it adheres to the truth, whether that truth is politically correct or not.”

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

An xAI engineer just described how the company operates, and buried in that description is the only thing that might save Western technological dominance.

No organizational overhead. No documentation requirements. No approval chains. You identify what needs building and you build it.

xAI engineer: “There isn’t organizational overhead getting in your way, having to write docs. You just do stuff.”

That’s not a workplace perk. That’s an emergency response to an existential competitive threat most people refuse to acknowledge.

China owns 50% of the world’s AI researchers. Not the developing world combined. Not Asia collectively. China alone controls half of every brain advancing the most important technology in human history.

While the West celebrates chip sanctions and export controls, China is doing something infinitely more dangerous: removing every organizational barrier between brilliant people and execution.

xAI engineer: “If you want to get shit done, you can get shit done.”

In most Western companies, that sentence would be fantasy. Compliance reviews. Documentation mandates. Approval hierarchies. Risk assessments. Process optimization. Every layer bleeds velocity while competitors operate without friction.

This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about survival.

Talent compounds generationally. Elite researchers train the next wave. Each generation builds on everything before it. When you control half the pipeline and let them operate at maximum speed, your advantage doesn’t grow linearly. It explodes exponentially.

The West responds with governance frameworks. Ethics committees. Responsible AI initiatives. All valuable in peacetime. All fatal when you’re being systematically outpaced by an adversary that captured the talent advantage and eliminated the one thing slowing them down: bureaucracy.

xAI engineer: “It’s truly an environment where you just do stuff.”

That’s not unique culture. That’s the minimum operational requirement to compete against a system that owns half the world’s AI minds and removed every organizational obstacle between their ideas and reality.

Western advantages are real. Capital markets. Research institutions. Democratic innovation. All of it becomes irrelevant if the output gap keeps widening because one side builds while the other holds meetings about building.

China isn’t trying to slow the West down. They don’t need to. They’re accelerating their own execution while Western organizations debate whether acceleration needs additional oversight.

The math is brutal. Control half the researchers. Remove bureaucratic friction. Compound that advantage across generations. The West doesn’t lose slowly. It becomes a spectator watching the future get built in a language it can’t read fast enough to translate.

The choice isn’t between chaos and order. It’s between execution and extinction.

Either we build environments where the smartest people can operate at the speed of thought without permission structures, or we watch capability concentrate where those structures were already eliminated and wonder how we lost a war we didn’t realize we were fighting.

This isn’t about xAI’s culture. It’s about whether Western civilization can remember how to move fast enough to matter before the advantage gap becomes permanent.

I built an AI system that automates product video creation for entire e-commerce catalogs.

(Saves ~$30K per collection shoot and boosts on-site conversion rates by ~20%)

Here’s how the automation actually works:
→ Firecrawl scrapes product images directly from any e-commerce collection page
→ Google’s Veo 3.1 generates realistic model videos showing fit, movement, and drape
→ Each video begins and ends on the original product image for perfect looping
→ Videos are auto-named, organized, and stored in Google Drive
→ Everything runs in batch—no manual work while it processes

The result: fashion brands can showcase every SKU with video, not just hero products—and engagement jumps immediately.

Static product photos aren’t enough anymore.
Shoppers want to see how clothes move before they buy.

If you want the full blueprint, do this:
1️⃣ Like & RT this post
2️⃣ Follow me (so I can DM you)
3️⃣ Comment “FIT”

I’ll send you the full n8n workflow, all prompts, and a step-by-step setup video—for free.

No more $30K shoots.
No more guessing if your product pages convert.

This Instagram Reels AI Agent is f*cking crazy 🤯

It scrapes trending Reels in any niche, runs AI analysis on each one, and extracts every hook, theme, and creative insight automatically.

All inside n8n + Airtable.

Perfect for DTC brands & agencies who need to know what's working on Instagram before creating anything.

Here's the problem:

Your team is burning hours doom-scrolling Instagram and calling it "research."

Screenshotting videos, scribbling notes, trying to reverse-engineer why something went viral.

By the time anyone acts on it, the trend is already stale.

This n8n agent does it in minutes:

→ Enter any keyword (skincare, fitness, supplements, etc.)
→ Scrapes trending Reels automatically
→ Logs every video to Airtable—views, likes, comments
→ Click "Analyze Video" in Airtable
→ Gemini watches and extracts: Hook, Proof Point, Theme
→ Click "Analyze Comments" for audience insights

No manual scrolling, no screenshot folders.

No "I swear I saw a good one yesterday."

What you get in Airtable:

- Video URL, creator handle, engagement metrics
- AI-extracted hooks (what stopped the scroll)
- Proof points (what built credibility)
- Creative themes (the narrative structure)
- Comment analysis (what your audience actually cares about)

Built 100% in n8n.

Want the full n8n template + Airtable base?
