Cursor + Claude Opus 4.6 deleted an entire SaaS company’s production database AND backups in 9 seconds is kinda epic.

[hoeem @hooeem]

when you become a millionaire in 1-3 years because you sell personalised knowledge bases and it’s all because (I repeat):

1: you learn how to build llm knowledge bases (the guide drops everything you need)

2: you go to people who are cash rich and time poor. lawyers, doctors, consultants, agency owners, property investors, founders. people drowning in information they never have time to organise

3: you show them what a personalised knowledge base looks like. their research, their documents, their industry intel, all compiled into a searchable wiki that gets smarter every time they use it

4: you offer a one-time build for 1.5k. you set up obsidian, build the folder structure, configure the schema, clip their first 20-30 sources, run the compilation, hand them a working system with a walkthrough

5: you offer a yearly maintenance package for 500. you update their wiki with new sources, run health checks, add new topics as their work evolves, keep the whole thing current

6: you land 5 clients and that’s 7.5k upfront plus 2.5k recurring every year. 10 clients and you’re looking at 15k plus 5k annual. for a system that takes you a few hours to build once you know the workflow

7: again, if you find 200 clients and you’re sitting on 300k upfront and 100k recurring every single year. for building markdown files.

the beauty of this is the work gets faster every time you do it. your second build takes half the time of your first. by your fifth you could knock one out in an afternoon.

and the people who need this most have no idea it exists. their competition definitely doesn’t have one. you’re not selling software. you’re selling an unfair advantage in their specific field.

In a few weeks the most powerful AI model of all time Claude Mythos will release

This makes me deeply nervous

Not because of cybersecurity risks or anything like that

But because it will quite obviously be significantly more expensive which will cause the wealth gap to explode

Let me explain

First the obvious: tokens aren’t getting cheaper. In fact, they’re getting significantly more expensive

Almost every new version of ChatGPT and Claude brings a slight bump in price over the last one

And plans haven’t been going down either, they’re only coming out with more expensive ones.

ChatGPT Pro plan for $250 a month. Claude Max for $200.

GPUs, RAM, CPUs all going up in price.

And now Mythos, which the leaked blog post hinted won’t even be included in a plan. It will only be in the API for what will be an astronomical cost.

And do you seriously doubt this won’t lead to an upcoming $2,000 a month Ultra plan that every other AI company will immediately copy?

It’s one thing to make luxury items more expensive. It’s another thing to make intelligence more expensive.

Intelligence that is critical to getting ahead in a crumbling economy.

Let’s just call it what it is: using AI gives you an advantage against everyone else. Those with AI are keeping their jobs. Those not using AI are losing their jobs

Now a new level of intelligence that will only be accessible to the rich is coming out.

Only the rich will be able to use this super intelligence to create more economic value than others.

What happens to the people that can’t afford Mythos? Or ChatGPT 6? They are left with a major disadvantage in the economic battlefield.

Then on top of that, both OpenAI and Anthropic are going to IPO this year (it’s killing the middle class that this didn’t happen years ago, but that’s another story)

They both are heavily incentivized right now to explode revenue as much as they can. They both are incentivized to make these new models as expensive as humanly possible.

The middle class is already gutted. A middle class without access to the intelligence that the upper class will have will only gut them further.

If a job position is between someone in the middle class with Claude Sonnet, and someone in the upper class with Claude Mythos, the Claude Mythos candidate with 100% get the job. It’s like a ballet dancer getting in a weight lifting competition with someone on insane amounts of steroids.

Or say someone with Claude Opus has a genius idea for a business, and someone with Claude Mythos gets the same one. The one with Claude Mythos will release a significantly better product much much faster, crushing the person with Opus.

I’m very pro-capitalist. In fact, I might be a radical capitalist. But at the same time this country (and this world) needs a middle class.

I don’t know the answers or solution. There probably isn’t one.

I honestly don’t even know what I’m trying to achieve with this post. I just have gotten incredibly scared over the last few days thinking about this scenario.

I think the best plan of action at the moment is to just create as much economic value as you possibly can right now. (Ethically) earn as much money as possible. Save everything. If you want to compete in the future, you’re going to need to be able to afford the top tier intelligence. It’s critical for you and your family to survive.

But in the meantime, don’t let anyone tell you intelligence is going to become “too cheap to meter”.

How Wharton MBAs feel when they find a family HVAC business with no website and the founder has no idea what Claude is

[Brandon @BrandonKohler_]

SMB owners don't WANT to learn how AI works. They want to close deals, serve customers, and go home to their families.

Every hour a business owner spends watching AI tutorials is an hour they're not running their business. The math doesn't work.

The real unlock isn't cheaper AI software. It's someone who shows up, understands your broken workflows, connects the messy systems, and hands you back a business that runs faster.

We're not in a SaaS revolution. We're in a services revolution wearing a software costume.

[Jason Shuman @JasonrShuman]

Silicon Valley thinks AI agents are a $20/mo self-serve subscription.

Main Street is paying local agencies $10,000 just to turn them on.

Everyone assumes AI will be bought primarily online like Slack or Zoom. I think they are wrong.

Some of the biggest winners in the AI boom won't be the software vendors. It will be the humans installing it.

Here is the reality of SMBs right now:
• 54% lack internal AI expertise.
• 41% have data quality too poor for AI to even work.
• 41% already prefer buying AI through a local IT provider.

You cannot "1-click install" a genius AI into a messy CRM or a 15-year-old server. It will just execute the wrong tasks at the speed of light.

The AI software will be cheap and a lot will absolutely be bought online. Making it actually work for a messy, real-world business will be expensive.

Very bullish on the "Do It For Me" economy being back.

Power users use it like a system.
